The time required for Reiki therapy varies depending on the client and the particular problem addressed.  However, Reiki therapists generally schedule individual healing sessions for 45-60 minutes. The client remains fully clothed during a healing session. He or she may lie flat or sit upright. It is especially important that both the healer and the person who has sought out healing feel comfortable, peaceful, and serene during the healing session. Soft lighting and relaxing music are often included as part of Reiki therapy to increase these feelings.

When the client is comfortable, the therapist places his or her hands lightly on, or slightly above, the person's body. The hands of the healer are held palms down with fingers and thumbs extended. During the session, the Reiki therapist will move his or her hands to particular locations on the body, following a specific routine. There are 12-15 Reiki hand positions which correspond to energy centers. The healer will stop at each of these locations to transmit energy. The healer will pause at each location until the flow of energy seems to subside or stop.  When the energy flow subsides, the therapist will move to another hand position, working from head to feet. It is important to note that a Reiki healer does not direct the energy in an active sense. The Reiki practitioner is merely a conduit.  He or she simply adopts the intent to heal. The life energy itself is intelligent. It goes where it is needed.

According to Reiki therapists, people typically leave a Reiki session feeling very relaxed and tranquil. However, recipients of Reiki therapy sometimes experience what therapists call a cleansing crisis. They may feel headachy, nauseous, dizzy, or weak.  For Reiki practitioners, these symptoms are the result of the body getting rid of toxins and realigning itself to the flow of ki.  Rest and increased fluid intake are often recommended to help the person cope with these symptoms.  Remember, Reiki therapy is non-invasive. Thus, adverse reactions are minimal and relatively rare.
