Other practitioners will have you lie down right away and go straight into the reiki. Then, they may reserve time afterward to chat through some of the things that came up during the session or answer any of your questions. Each person is very different in how they feel and experience the reiki energy. This practice will also continue to shift and change and feel slightly different every time, similar to a meditation. Trust that your experience is exactly what it needs to be on that day. A practitioner should never touch the genitals or breasts, and they should never ask you to disrobe. If there is something specific you want to address in a session, it’s important to let your practitioner know that upon booking so they can make sure to connect to it during the healing. If you are looking for a more affordable reiki experience, practitioners who are just getting their reiki practice started often charge lower rates so they can get testimonials and build a solid client base.
