Ep. 59 Reiki Session Essentials: Do’s & Dont's From Both Sides of the Table

In this solo episode, we open up about the do’s and don’ts of a Reiki session from both sides of the table - as practitioners and as clients. Over the years, we’ve noticed the small details that make a big difference in how a session feels.

From the practical to the energetic, we share what we’ve learned about creating a safe, comfortable, and sacred space. Whether you’re new to Reiki, a seasoned practitioner, or simply curious about what happens during a session, this conversation offers guidance, reflections, and inspiration!

What we cover:

• Why it’s important to set aside time to chat before the session
• Washing hands and grounding yourself before beginning
• Choosing music that supports the healing environment (without overwhelming)
• Offering comfort touches like a blanket or pillow under the knees
• Navigating silence vs. talking during the session
• How lighting influences the energy of the room
• Checking in with your client the next day
• Thoughts on hand placements and intuitive flow
