Wellbeing support. What to expect from a reiki session with Esther Nichols

If you're considering a Reiki session with me, you're in for a transformative experience. Known for my intuitive approach and calming presence, I create a safe and nurturing environment where healing can occur. Here’s what you can expect during your session.

Before your arrival, I spend a lot of time clearing and preparing the energy of the room and also my own energy to ensure the space is energetically safe. Energy hygiene is incredibly important to me and my practice.

Upon arrival, I always take the time to chat with you about your goals and any specific concerns you might have. This initial conversation helps me tailor the session to your individual needs.

I always place a great emphasis on creating a safe and peaceful atmosphere. The room is usually dimly lit, with soothing music or sounds that promote relaxation. I use essential oils and crystals to enhance the energy of the space, making it feel serene and inviting.

Before starting the Reiki treatment, I will guide you through a brief consultation. This is an opportunity for you to share any physical or emotional issues you’re facing. I will also ask questions to understand your overall well-being, which helps in focusing the energy where it's most needed.

You will be welcomed to lie down fully clothed on my treatment table. I have blankets, (including weighted blankets if that's a preference) that I will place over you and bolster cushions to support your neck, back and legs. I will gently place my hands on or near your body, channeling energy through my palms. You may feel sensations such as warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation as the energy flows.

During the session, I remain intuitive, adjusting my techniques based on what I sense. You might also hear me softly speaking affirmations or prayers or guiding you to breathe deeply, enhancing your connection to the energy. I start by ensuring you are grounded and then work to clear your auric field and chakras. I am then guided to work where needed to support your healing journey.

Many of my clients report feeling an overwhelming sense of peace and relaxation during a Reiki session. It’s not uncommon to drift into a meditative state or even fall asleep. Allow yourself to fully embrace this experience; it’s part of the healing process.

After the session, I will provide you with an opportunity to share your experience. I am able to offer insights or guidance based on what I felt during the treatment. This post-session chat can be a really valuable part of your healing journey.

I will suggest ways to integrate the healing experience into your daily life. This could include mindfulness practices, breathing exercises, or even lifestyle changes to support your well-being. I always welcome follow up sessions if needed. Follow your intuition as to what it is you need going forward.

Reiki can lead to various effects post-session. Some people feel energized, while others may experience emotional releases or a deep sense of calm. Remember, everyone’s experience is unique, so be gentle with yourself as you process the session. For me, sometimes it takes a good 24 hours for the energy to settle. As we are all individual, our experiences are unique to us.

A Reiki session with me is more than just a treatment; it’s a holistic experience that nurtures your mind, body, and spirit. Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, emotional healing, or simply a moment of tranquility, my compassionate approach can help you find the balance you’re looking for. I really hope you embrace the journey of healing and discovery that awaits you.

If you feel drawn to receive reiki from me, I would love to hear from you.
