What takes place during Reiki therapy in Rock Hill SC?
Reiki treatment normally takes place in a private and peaceful setting though besides that the treatment can technically happen almost anywhere. Clients sit in chairs or lie on tables fully clothed during the sessions.
The Reiki practitioner places their hands lightly over or on particular areas on the head, limbs, and torso of the client and usually keeps them there for at least three minutes up to a maximum of ten. This is believed to be done as it allows an energy transfer to take place.
The names of techniques involved in Reiki therapy include centering, beaming, infusing, clearing, extraction of harmful energies, and smoothing and raking the aura. Chakra healing wands and crystals are also used by some practitioners.
