Everything you need to know about Reiki, our sessions, and the Sanctum experience.
Because Reiki helps physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, it can help with any condition. Consider Reiki if you:
Reiki practitioners are trained to access pure life force energy from its source. This balanced energy is offered through a set of hand positions, with the practitioner placing hands lightly on or off the body. Clients are fully clothed and there is no use of oils or massage techniques.
Distance Reiki has been practiced for decades and is completely effective when performed remotely — via Zoom, telephone, or email.
Perceptions vary from person to person, however deep relaxation is most widely reported. Other common feelings include warmth, cold, feeling very light or heavy, and tingling. Some people see colors with their eyes closed.
Whether a person feels a lot or a little does not indicate the amount of help Reiki is giving. Some people relax into sleep — this is perfectly fine and does not affect the treatment.
Relaxation is most commonly reported — both in the session and after. Other common outcomes are feeling lighter, unburdened, less pain, well-rested, more balanced, and easygoing. Positive effects last for days, weeks, and for some even longer.
Rarely, mild symptoms like a headache or tiredness may occur — this is a positive sign that healing is taking place. Contact your practitioner if you are concerned.
Your Reiki practitioner may make recommendations as a result of your session. Common suggestions range from one week, two weeks, or longer. Ideally, regular sessions are part of your regimen to support maintaining balance and wellbeing.
It takes time for imbalances to occur, so multiple sessions may be the most beneficial in reversing them.
Reiki is absolutely safe because it is a practice based solely on life force energy which is naturally inherent in all living things. It cannot do harm and is safe for babies, children, expectant mothers, people of any age or state of health, plants, and animals.
Reiki practitioners do not prescribe substances nor interfere in any medical treatments. Reiki is a complement to traditional care — never a replacement.
Reiki is a complement to traditional medical care and we do not promote it as a cure for particular diseases or conditions. However, patients receiving Reiki often report an easier time coping with medical treatments, pain reduction, a more positive outlook, and an increased ability to handle stress.
An increasing number of health care facilities are now promoting Reiki through their own programs.
Yes! The Reidience Reiki Instagram and Facebook accounts regularly post research findings. PubMed is searchable, as are many of the scientific journal websites.
We invite you to begin your research at PubMed Reiki Research and connect with the Center For Reiki Research to learn more about studies and trials.
Reiki is truly available to all people and even children. If you want to learn it, you can — it is that simple. The ability to channel Reiki is never lost. A person gains confidence and understanding of Reiki through practice.
Traditionally, Reiki has been taught in person. However, it is now possible and completely effective to hold Reiki Certification classes online with the appropriate technology and methods.
Distance Reiki works just as well as in-person sessions — so there is no valid reason why training over distance would not be equally effective.
Whether you are recovering from burnout, seeking relief from stress, or deepening your spiritual practice — we provide a container for that transformation.
