Reiki Aftercare
The aftercare of your session is as important and part of the natural healing process. Reiki is universal light force energy, it’s an intelligent Divine energy that will continue to heal you for about 48 hours. Whether you experienced sensations during the session itself or reactions to Reiki afterwards, can vary greatly from person to person.
Some may feel a dramatic shift during and others don’t feel anything and only months later will see positive effects. There is no right or wrong reaction to a Reiki session, most clients enjoy the feeling of relaxation, listen to your body, rest if needed. It is common to feel one thing the first day, and something very different the next. Your energetic system is working the heavy energy out and shifting, and a period of lightness should begin.
Reiki does no harm, however it is important to note that some may experience a “Healing Crisis.” Although rare, symptoms may look like an overwhelming amount of energy dumping, this can become worse before it gets better. Reiki will bring unprocessed emotions and pain to the surface to be released and can bring up feelings that you’ve pushed down long ago, one may feel tearful.
it’s important to allow these emotions to release. Let it go, holding it in will only cause blockages. You may even experience flu like symptoms, this is a normal process of eliminating negative toxins, tears for instance have toxins.
These symptoms are temporary and often are a necessary part of the healing journey and is actually a very positive sign that the Reiki is working for your overall healing journey. You may be very aware of these symptoms or may not be at all. Reiki has a way of working at the most opportune time.
Self-Care
There are ways to support yourself while you are recovering after a Reiki session. The first is to give yourself full permission for self-care. Something admittedly, is not most people’s strong suit. For the most part, listen to yourself. Anything that feels emotionally or physically supportive to you,
Get extra rest and sleep, drink more water, tea, do a juice cleanse and eat clean. Avoid alcohol, drugs, smoking, and minimize caffeine intake for a few days after a Reiki session.
Practice self care activities, get a massage, practice mindfulness and meditation, join a yoga class or support group can all be supportive of this work, and will help you recover from the Reiki session. A trusted therapist can also be a great way to process what is unfolding for you after a treatment.
I recommend a detox bath (1 cup of bath salt and 1 cup of baking soda) in the hottest bath you can stand, for twenty minutes. This will help eliminate the heavy energy from your system.
How often should you wait until your next session?
This is a personal healing so I feel the next session should be based on how each client feels. How intense their shift is and what they are trying to achieve.
