I have put together some useful reminders and tips for pre and post reiki sessions. These are a combination of my experiences and best practices recommended across holistic professionals.
Reiki
Pre Session Tips
I wanted to create an area to access post energy healing that is a reference for best practices for self care.
​​
Before
-
Avoid heavy meals / stressful days / create space for the reiki
-
Bring water to your session for rehydration.
-
24 hrs >no alcohol.
Create your Intention -
Think about what you’d like to focus on (e.g., “I want to feel more grounded,” “I’m releasing anxiety”). Relaxation, time out, an extra boost, meditative reset etc.
-
You don’t need a deep reason—but a clear focus can open your energy to healing.
Arrive Calm (or allow time to settle) -
Arrive a few minutes early if in person.
-
If you have driven, give yourself these minutes to settle and silence your phone.
-
Wear comfortable layered clothes. Yoga / compression clothing is a great option.
Spiritual prep: -
You can meditate, journal, or pray if that’s your practice.
-
Some people bring crystals or meaningful objects, but it’s not required.
-
Ask for what you need or any special requirements.
Reiki Post Session
I wanted to create an area to access post energy healing that is a reference for best practices for self care.
​
-
Please hydrate accordingly (water) to support the body releasing toxins naturally
-
Taking time to relax allows your body and mind to process the healing that's taken place.
-
48hrs after reiki allow your energetic body the healing required for renewal & reintegration.
-
It is highly recommended to stay free from alcohol, caffeine and other stimulants.
-
Stay away from refined sugars and energy snacks/drinks etc.
-
Respond appropriately by giving your body what it asks for eg. rest, sleep, hydration etc.
-
Avoid strenuous exercise keep it light/moderate
-
It is always useful to journal the emotions to understand the energy you feel within. Consider the following questions after a Reiki session, and beyond: How do your emotions before & after compare? Where in your body do you feel most improved?
-
I highly recommend booking at least one follow up reiki healing session within a week to deepen the experience and healing. This also helps provide clarity and strengthens the results.
I hope these few tips help you maximise the energy healing for you here at wellbeing warrior.
