Reiki always works and is always for your highest good. The Reiki energy first addresses the energetic cause of your issue, which is often linked to beliefs or thoughts formed from past traumas—whether in this life, past lives, or passed down through generations. The energetic shift can happen immediately or take longer, depending on how much resistance there is to letting go of outdated beliefs. In each session, I program the energy to be effective for at least 7 days and provide you with guidance to align with the energy. Most people report improvements within just 3 days.
Some people may experience temporary discomfort, emotional release, or a temporary worsening of symptoms as blockages (low-energy vibrations) are cleared. One common reaction is crying for no apparent reason. It's important to share any discomfort or concerns you may have during the session. Please remember, Reiki is a holistic healing method and should not replace medical or psychiatric care.
The effectiveness of a session largely depends on the person's intention and willingness to improve. Energy flows freely through space and time, without any barriers. However, I believe there are benefits to holding the session in a carefully prepared sacred space. This environment can enhance the experience by incorporating elements like crystals, essential oils (for aromatherapy), colors (which can be visualized during online sessions), and music (for sound therapy).
Reiki can be applied to people, animals, plants, planets, places, events, and much more. Everything that exists carries its own consciousness, and Reiki energy helps align these energies by clearing any blockages attached to that consciousness.
A Reiki therapist can apply energy either in-person or online. Reiki can also be performed remotely, preferably with the person's knowledge. However, you may authorize a Reiki session for a family member who lives with you, or if their actions directly affect you. This is not considered an override of free will, as the energy is received and directed by the person's higher self, which always respects free will.
Additionally, Reiki can be programmed by the practitioner to work on a future or past date, or for anyone they set their intention toward.
