frequently asked questions about Reiki

Do I need to disrobe?
No, Reiki is a process that can be carried out without undressing and in some cases even without physical contact.

Does it hurt?
The most that you should feel is a sense of heat in the area being treated and some degree of relief from your symptoms. Reiki is a non-invasive and very relaxing treatment.

Do I have to pray beforehand?
That would depend upon you. Some people like to ask their God or Spirit for help during healing but it is not a prerequisite. The choice is yours.

How do I prepare for a treatment?
Generally you don't need to. Try not to have a treatment immediately after a meal or if you are intoxicated. Tell your practitioner about any medication or problems that are relevant to that session.

Can Reiki replace my ordinary treatments?
I personally would suggest not. Reiki is not a curative, it merely supplements the bodies natural resources so that the body can use those resources more efficiently to heal itself. You should never discontinue medical treatment without the knowledge of your physician.

Can I learn Reiki?
Of course, it is open to everyone. We provide training in Usui Reiki or you can find appropriate trainers listed in magazines or the phone book.
