Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing practice that promotes relaxation and balance. But if you’ve never experienced it before, you might wonder: What does Reiki actually feel like? The answer varies—some people notice subtle shifts, while others feel profound changes. Here’s what to expect.
Common Sensations During Reiki
1. Physical Sensations
-
Warmth or coolness – Many report a soothing warmth where the practitioner’s hands hover, though some feel a cooling sensation instead.
-
Tingling or vibrations – A sign of energy moving through blocked areas.
-
Heaviness or lightness – Some feel deeply relaxed (almost "melting" into the table), while others describe floating.
-
Stomach gurgling or twitching – Energy shifts can trigger minor physical releases.
2. Emotional & Energetic Shifts
-
Emotional release – Tears, laughter, or sudden clarity (especially if holding onto stress).
-
"Seeing" colors or images – Some visualize light, symbols, or past memories.
-
Deep peace – A quiet mind, similar to meditation.
3. After the Session
-
Immediate relaxation – Many feel lighter, as if a weight lifted.
-
Delayed effects – Some notice shifts hours or days later (better sleep, fewer aches).
-
Sensitivity to energy – You might feel more attuned to people’s moods or environments.
What If I Feel Nothing?
Reiki works even if you don’t sense dramatic changes. Energy healing is subtle—trust that shifts are happening beneath the surface.
