Preparing for Your Reiki Session with Callie's Cosmos

Welcome back to Callie's Cosmos! If you're new to Reiki or haven't had a session in a while, you may be wondering how to best prepare for your appointment. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your Reiki experience:


1. Set your intention.

Before your session, take some time to reflect on what you hope to achieve. Are you looking for relaxation, stress relief, or physical healing? Setting your intention will help you to focus your energy and get the most out of your Reiki session.

2. Hydrate.

Drink plenty of water before your session. This will help to flush out toxins and prepare your body for the healing energy.

3. Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

Caffeine and alcohol can interfere with the flow of Reiki energy. It's best to avoid these substances for at least a few hours before your session.

4. Wear comfortable clothing.

You'll be lying down or sitting for a period of time, so you want to make sure you're comfortable. Loose-fitting, natural fibers like cotton or linen are ideal.

5. Remove any jewelry or accessories that may distract you.

This includes watches, rings, and necklaces.

6. Arrive early.

It's a good idea to arrive a few minutes early for your first session. This will give you time to relax and get settled before your appointment.

7. Be open to the experience.

Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive healing modality, but it can be powerful. Be open to the experience and allow yourself to relax and receive the healing energy.


Additional Tips:

  • Let your Reiki practitioner know about any health concerns you have.
  • Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated after your session.
  • Take some time to relax and reflect after your session.


By following these tips, you can ensure that you're well-prepared for your Reiki session and get the most out of the experience.
