Reiki Healing Session
Reiki Case study example – level 2
Before doing my Reiki treatment I created the ambience in my treatment room. A comfortable couch with dim lighting, incense stick burning and I lit some candles. I chose some healing music to play during the treatment. I placed a rose quartz under my couch to amplify the healing energy.
I then meditated to ask my guides and angels to assist me with this healing and to work with me. I also asked which crystals to use on the 7 main chakras to unblock and balance the body and which ones were ok to use with this client.Initial Consultation
When my client arrived we filled in a consultation card and went through any medical issues to which there was none. I then talked about what the Reiki treatment would consist of and how she felt about it. She was apprehensive but excited about experiencing Reiki for the first time. I asked her to get comfortable on the couch, no need to remove any clothes and I left the room to wash my hands to remove any negative energy I might have picked up.
When I returned to the room I stood at the head of the couch. I centered myself by assuming the Kanji hand positions before again asking for guidance and assistance during this treatment.
Using power symbols
I drew the power symbol Cho ku rei on my hand also Sei he ki the mental and emotional symbol. I visualized the symbols in my head and called the name of the symbols 3 times in my head. Using the Reiki symbols magnifies and boosts the energy.
In my head I say “Reiki on” and proceeded with the first position with my hands over the clients eyes, starting at the front of the clients head I work through all the positions. If I feel the energy is needed somewhere else or for longer in one position than another I will do so. Working my way: Temples, back of head, throat, heart, rib cage and pelvis. Whilst client was on here back I was drawn to her shoulder (left) I felt this needed more energy so I worked on it for longer, I asked my client to turn over where I placed my hands on her shoulders, kidneys, lower back and sacrum. I was then drawn to her knees so placed my hands on them. I worked with each area for approximately 5 minutes but longer for knees and shoulder.
Using Crystals
I then placed crystals over the 7 main chakras, root/base – red jasper, sacral – carnelian, solar plexus – yellow jasper, heart – rose quartz, throat – blue agate, third eye – amethyst, crown – clear quartz. This is how I do my Reiki healing and unblocking and balancing the entire body. I then draw the power symbol Cho ku rei over the chakras to seal in the energy at the end of the treatment. I placed my hands on my clients feet to help ground them. As my client is interested in crystals I offered her a smokey quarts to also help with the grounding.
Aftercare Advise
I suggested my client stayed on the couch while I washed my hands to disconnect; I got a glass of water for my client. I returned to the treatment room and helped my client sit up and get comfortable and went through the treatment in detail with her. I asked her how she was feeling, she was tired but felt very relaxed and at ease, she felt very hot sensations over her shoulder as I did. I explained I was drawn to this area and felt it needed more energy, she has been suffering with this shoulder for sometime. I had a tingling sensation when working with her knees which she has had long term problems with. I went through after care and suggested she drank lots of water today and rested as much as possible in the next few days. I said I would contact her in a few days time and suggested she would benefit from a series of Reiki treatments. I called her later that week and asked how she was feeling and what experiences she has had since her treatment, she said she felt very emotional and lethargic for a couple of days but now is feeling well with more energy and very positive and her shoulder has felt a lot easier, she feels very positive about her treatment and wants to continue with Reiki in the future.
