It aims to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing by clearing out negative or blocked energy and allowing higher vibrations to flow through the recipient

A typical Reiki session involves the recipient lying fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body. Sessions usually last between 60 to 90 minutes, and recipients might experience sensations like warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation
