Learn how to prepare for a distance Reiki session, including choosing a quiet space, getting comfortable, reducing distractions, and relaxing before your session.
Preparing for a distance Reiki session is simple. Because you receive Reiki from the comfort of your own home, you can create a peaceful environment where you can relax without needing to travel anywhere.
A little preparation beforehand can help you settle in and enjoy your session.
Find a place where you can sit or lie down comfortably and are unlikely to be disturbed.
Your bed, sofa, recliner, or another comfortable spot works perfectly. You may want to have a pillow and blanket nearby so you can fully relax.
You don't need to create a special meditation space or have any particular supplies.
Before your session begins, take a few minutes to minimize interruptions.
Silence your phone, turn off the television, and let others in your home know that you'd like some quiet time.
If you have pets, they can remain in the room with you as long as you're comfortable.
There is no special clothing required for distance Reiki.
Wear something loose and comfortable that allows you to relax. Unlike some wellness treatments, Reiki doesn't require you to change clothes or remove any clothing.
Before your session, you may want to think about what you would like to focus on.
Your intention can be as simple as:
I am open to receiving Reiki for my highest good.
You can also choose an intention related to relaxation, emotional balance, or an area where you'd like additional support.
An intention is completely optional—you don't need to concentrate on anything specific during your session.
Settle into your space a few minutes before your appointment. Take a few slow breaths, close your eyes if you'd like, and begin to relax.
Once your session begins, there's nothing special you need to do. You don't need to meditate, visualize energy, or concentrate on anything—simply relax and allow yourself to experience the session naturally.
