What to Expect and How It Benefits You.
Reiki is a gentle yet profound healing technique that supports balance in the body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki works with the body’s energy field, aiming to release blockages, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation. At Sophic Wellness, we see Reiki as a sacred pause—a moment where your body remembers how to heal itself.
If you’ve ever wondered what Reiki is, how it feels, or if it might be right for you, this beginner-friendly guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a form of energy healing that involves the transfer of universal life force energy through the practitioner’s hands. During a session, the practitioner channels this energy into the client’s body to clear energetic blockages, restore balance, and encourage the natural healing process.
It is non-invasive, deeply calming, and can be done with hands gently touching the body or hovering slightly above it.
What to Expect in a Reiki Session
At Sophic Wellness, your Reiki session begins with a warm welcome and a short discussion about your current needs—be it stress relief, emotional clarity, physical recovery, or spiritual alignment.
At Sophic Wellness, your Reiki session begins with a warm welcome and a short discussion about your current needs—be it stress relief, emotional clarity, physical recovery, or spiritual alignment.
You’ll lie fully clothed on a treatment table in a serene, softly lit room with gentle music playing in the background. The practitioner will then move their hands over key energy centres (chakras), holding them lightly above or resting them gently on your body.
Most people describe the experience as:
- Warm, tingling, or flowing sensations
- Deep emotional calm
- A dream-like state
- Release of physical or emotional tension
After the session, we give you space to integrate and reflect. Many clients report feeling lighter, clearer, and more centred.
