What to Wear to Reiki

Callie Williams • March 24, 2025

Reiki is a gentle and relaxing healing modality that can be beneficial for people of all ages and backgrounds. If you're new to Reiki, you may be wondering what to wear to your first session. In this blog post, we'll discuss some tips on what to wear to Reiki sessions so that you can feel comfortable and relaxed during your treatment.

Comfort is Key

The most important thing to remember when choosing what to wear to a Reiki session is to choose something that you feel comfortable in. You'll be lying down or sitting for a period of time, so you want to make sure that you're not going to be uncomfortable or restricted in any way.


Loose-Fitting Clothing

Loose-fitting clothing is generally the best option for Reiki sessions. This is because it allows for ease of movement and relaxation.


Natural Fibers

Natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and wool are also a good choice for Reiki sessions. These materials are breathable and allow your skin to breathe, which can help you to feel more comfortable and relaxed.


Avoid Tight Clothing

It's also a good idea to avoid wearing anything too tight or constricting, as this can make it difficult to relax and enjoy the session.


Layers

If you're concerned about feeling cold during your Reiki session, you may want to bring a light sweater or blanket. However, it's important to avoid wearing too many layers, as this can make it difficult to relax.



Here are some additional tips for what to wear to Reiki sessions:

  • Remove any jewelry or accessories that may distract you.
  • Wear comfortable shoes that are easy to slip on and off.
  • Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
  • If you have long hair, you may want to tie it back or clip it up.


Most Importantly, Relax

Remember, the most important thing is to feel comfortable and relaxed during your Reiki session. If you're not sure what to wear, it's always a good idea to ask your Reiki practitioner for advice.


Additional Tips for a Relaxing Reiki Session

In addition to choosing the right clothing, there are a few other things you can do to prepare for a Reiki session:

  • Arrive early. This will give you time to relax and get settled before your session begins.
  • Let your Reiki practitioner know about any health concerns you have.
  • Be open to the experience. Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive healing modality, but it can be powerful.


Conclusion

By following these tips, you can ensure that you're comfortable and relaxed during your Reiki session. This will allow you to get the most out of your treatment.
