What’s up? 2 things to talk about before main content (after the flowers) #1 I host a virtual meditation each month. October’s theme is “Stillness,” and it’s an hour-long exploration into the topic. It is online, but that doesn’t mean you have to have your camera on. You don’t have to say anything or be anything. We’ll all just be spending time together, learning from each other. #2 If you’ve been considering Bodywork, Reiki, or Psychedelic Integration, here is a loving nudge. I only have a couple of openings remaining before I will be out of touch from mid-December to mid-January. If now feels like the right time to begin something, it is. Contact me here ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the late 60s, the publisher behind The Whole Earth Catalog Stewart Brand, started the New Games Movement with the intent to replace competition with cooperation, unlocking the creativity and freedom we enjoyed as children that can dim as we don dress clothes and attend university. One of the games they played required a collection of people in a field with a large ball. There were no teams and no real object of the game beyond getting the ball to one of two end zones. More often than not, loose teams would form and a struggle would ensue to get the big ball to an endzone that a team’d declared as their goal. Just as often, people would switch teams at random, push the ball in the wrong direction on purpose, some trickster would defect at a pivotal moment just for a laugh. Big-time-me-move. The point was to have fun. They were adults in a field in Marin, pushing a gigantic inflated orb around. There was no point other than to EXPERIENCE. Winning gets us somewhere, but what if you want to be everywhere? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/f5b28d63-bf8d-42c7-969a-e4bedc7f7823/Reiki%2C+Psychedelic+Healing%2C+Meditation%2C+Breathwork.png Meditations - Sacred Scroll: Pure & Clean Games - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.altarofnow.com/meditations/giftoflocalreiki monthly 0.5 2024-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/bcf15f49-c1e9-49c3-9b52-f21f02300e3f/peaceinvitingyogalovereiki.jpeg Meditations - With Which Eyes How thankful I am for my broad leg My favorite table clad in denim The best and first and only percussive instrument for me I’m dangerous So times pulling the push broom down hill Give thanks For the long pull And the back stair To each their own, a time of rest In secret While those that matter While away their hours Within reach of ours The table flipped becomes Tableau rasa Thank God https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/935efdd2-50f0-4343-b3c1-6a9cfe8675b8/noorder.jpg Meditations - With Which Eyes - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.altarofnow.com/meditations/healthywayreiki monthly 0.5 2024-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/a95f0ec2-0a8a-4242-8662-9eadab6b2389/IMG_1858.jpg Meditations - Penultimate Hearing fearing feeling the call Desire fills sails To build a structure of or with my body Past the orange peel After the peach wave A bad fan of the long lever Its still a sign Snake in the tall grass An expectation to respond To tell you about the hole in the rag Laying on its belly And what happened Not the whole truth but enough So on some later date if pressed I can choose to share if it benefits me then Touchin its tale or me now The line can be a circle if you're looking from far enough away A leaf can be a dagger in the dark https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/935efdd2-50f0-4343-b3c1-6a9cfe8675b8/noorder.jpg Meditations - Penultimate - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.altarofnow.com/meditations/reikipsychedelichealingaura monthly 0.5 2024-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/a95f0ec2-0a8a-4242-8662-9eadab6b2389/IMG_1858.jpg Meditations - I know that I know And that I don't know But I forget I know that I know And that I dont know But I forget I see that I am blind and I see the blinding light in everything but I forget I see what I know I think I know what I see But sometimes I forget And this is The Way It should be At the end of every forget I remember. Lonny Brown The game isn’t to end up a good remember-er. The game is to end up free Free from what ails us. Free from what contains or constrains us. We work with each other to understand what we see and where, how our view changes depending on what we are holding on to. A standard database this is not. We need our natural, full body intelligence to understand, to catch the tail end of the remember string. Not to solve but to explore what is taking place at any given moment in our experience. To see what is really going on. For me, reiki creates a profound place for me to examine. Hands-on reiki can come as such a relief, be so transformative in part because it is a rare moment where I can be present in my body, present with my thought and physically feel them soften, has hands move across my form. I don’t get the chance to receive hands-on reiki often, instead I send myself alot of “distance” reiki. First, meditating and grounding myself, I bring into my awareness what’s going on in me. And I send those shapes within me loving light, peace, pink-healing-love-mist, whatever in that moment feels necessary, trusting this space I’ve created to carry what I need to me. It can feel pretty far out, and even now depending on how distracted or agitated I feel I can question if it’s going to work. It can be really easy to start focusing on what I think I know and letting that define me I know that I know And that I dont know But I forget And then I wake up ( normally I send the treatment to myself for a few hours after bedtime) feeling different. Feeling as if movement has occurred. I’m ornery so I’ve tested it as best I can, concocting elaborate layered treatments for myself. Time and time again, in ways that escape my scheming, the reiki treatment I’ve sent myself works. “I know that I don’t know” how it works, but I’m so appreciative that it does, and if I can keep freeing myself from the limits I set for my own experience, there’s not much else to do.

Whether you are new to this holistic practice or a seasoned enthusiast looking to bring the serene energy of Reiki into your San Francisco, creating the perfect environment for a Reiki session is crucial. Altar Of Now offers personalized, hands-on Reiki treatments as well as distance Reiki that caters to the unique needs of each individual. Here’s how you can prepare your space to make the most out of your Reiki treatment. Understanding the Essence of Reiki Before diving into the preparations, it’s important to understand what Reiki is and how it works. Reiki is a form of energy healing that works within the energy fields around the body. It is based on the principle that life force energy flows through us; it is what causes us to be alive. A Reiki session aims to improve the flow and balance of that energy to support healing, moving energy to areas that have become stuck or stunted. Creating a Serene Environment Choose the Right Space: Select a quiet, private room where you won't be disturbed. This space should feel safe and welcoming, acting as a sanctuary where you can relax fully. Clean and Declutter: A clean environment promotes a peaceful mind. Tidy up the space, remove any clutter. Consider this to be part of the Reiki experience as well. Can you move through the space softly, organizing, tidying, with out activating any stress response? If challenging emotions arise, can you observe them? Comfortable Setting: Ensure the room temperature is comfortable. You might want to have blankets or additional layers available, as body temperatures can change when the body experiences relaxation. Arrange a comfortable place to lie down, such as a floor mat, bed or a couch, with pillows for support if necessary. Lighting and Ambiance: Soft, natural lighting helps in creating a calming ambiance. If your session is in the evening, or natural light isn’t sufficient, consider using candles or dimmable lamps. The goal is to make the room feel warm, cozy and sub-perceptible. Incorporate Nature: Adding elements of nature, such as plants or a small fountain, can enhance the healing environment. The sounds of water or the sight of greenery can help in grounding and connecting you with nature. Or an open window. Some cuttings from a plant outside. Aromatic Elements: Aromatherapy can significantly add to the overall Reiki experience. Essential oils like lavender, sandalwood, or frankincense can be used on an eye pillow, incense may be used if thats cool with you and the Reiki practicioner. Soothing Sounds: Background music or the sounds of nature can help in creating a tranquil atmosphere. Choose soft, instrumental music or nature sounds that can assist in your relaxation without being distracting. Setting Intentions: Before your session begins, take a moment to reflect on what you wish to achieve through the Reiki treatment. Setting a clear intention helps in focusing the energy work and enhancing the healing process. Preparing Yourself Mindset: Approach your Reiki session with an open mind and heart. Be willing to let go of expectations and trust in the healing process. Hydration: Drink plenty of water before and after your session. Hydration helps in facilitating the flow of energy throughout the body. Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You want to ensure that your physical body is as relaxed as possible to fully receive the energy work. Communication: Communicate any concerns or areas you’d like to focus on with your Reiki practitioner. At Altar Of Now, we ensure a tailored experience that addresses your specific being.

Using Psychedelics I work with people interested in exploring who they are and what they are capable of. This work often intersects with the world of psychedelics, a world filled with many myths, bad advice, and unhelpful perspectives on what consciousness-expanding tools can do. I’m writing this primer on taking psychedelics because I believe in them, because I believe in the power of people. Mushrooms, acid, mdma, dmt and on do not transform you or give you special powers, they help you see what is capable within yourself. They’re not aids for being a better CEO, they are not the cure for medically resistant depression, nor do their effects last a lifetime. They open a door they show you a way- a door, a way that you can follow soberly after they‘ve worn off. Before and After are just as important as during What you do to prepare and how you integrate what you’ve experienced are just as important- equal- as the psychedelic experience itself. Start Slow You want to avoid blasting off on psychedelics and taking too much too soon. It’s not necessary to treat any opportunity to take psychedelics as your first and only opportunity. Even experienced psychedelic-doers follow the adage “you can always take more, you can never take less”. Space and Safety Festivals like Outside Lands or Electric Forest and Burning Man are challenging environments when sober and can be really disorienting when taking psychdelics. The openness, creativity, personal expansion thats possible in expanded states of conciousness is in part attributed to these substances being “non-specific amplifiers.” They turn things up, tune you in- but to what can be greatlly affected by your environement. If you are reading this, and have gotten this far you’ve heard before of the importance of Set and Setting.- this is why that is important. I emphasize to those I work with that a Set and Setting most conducive for a trip are places that are clearly safe and non-confining. Safety means you aren’t worried about your physical, relational and emotional well being. You don’t want to be fearful and thus on high alert. This means taking psychedelics somewhere where you’re not worried about cops, judgement from someone you’re in a relationship with (mom, boss, partner, sibiling, new friend etc). It also means opening yourself up to yourself somewhere thats not going to be so stimulating you can not find peace, or ground yourself. Being confused or scared, or lost or worried in states of expanded openness is really challenging. thats why organizations like Zendo offer psychdelic support at festivals, for experienced and brand new psychdelic explorers who’ve been rocked by whats happening around them and gotten overwhelmed. Space determines your experiences as much as safety. Being able to move easily and freely, breath clean air, get into the sun or move into the shade are all critical pieces of having a nice experience, on psychedelics or sober. So be mindful of where you are taking. Psychedelics for the first time at a music festival is not the move. Mushrooms are not like pot. Strength and effect can vary from mushroom to mushroom in the same bag. And if you’ve never tried a drug before, it takes time and experience to understand how it will affect YOU personally. It makes little difference if you are bigger or smaller than someone else taking a similar dose. Psychedelics are not like beer. Give Yourself Grace You will think and experience things that you weren’t expecting. You may not make any headway on whatever you took psychedelics to work with. We have a limited perspective, inherently. It is part of being human. Expanding your consciousness is opening yourself to what lives inside of you. Your true self. Every exploration of who you are is worthwhile, even if it means you didn’t figure what job you are supposed to take next, what your purpose is or why you are depressed. The very nature of the psychedelic experience is to explore, to watch, to wait and see what your higher self wants to share- don’t white knuckle it trying to solve a “problem”. Avoid Distractions Be strong then, and enter into your own body; there you have a solid place for your feet. Think about it carefully! Don't go off somewhere else! Just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you ~ Kabir Another way to say it is reject modernity. Phones, televisions, computers these are modern tools based on modern constructs that exist completely OUTSIDE of your body. There is nothing natural about our phones, we were not born with them. Save some playlists of music you like, avoid stuff with words, gentle easy stuff like this and put your phone on do not disturb. Movies and television shows were made to entertain you, not support your awakening so avoid the tube while you’re altered, theres nothing there worth your time in this open state.

A few days of rest, relaxation (deep) and effort brought right back into the moment of what it is like, what the tight turn between parts can feel like. Alternating lights of sun and moon, days bringing on new waves of heat and relief. When we go away, we come back with more of a sense of our self. We get to see the patterns we’ve trimmed, the new spaces we’ve cultivated and lived in over the last stretch of… time. That is what time feels like, seeing the curve of sheer moments of presence stacked- details opaque but clear enough to tell its been longer than my fingers and toes worth of days since or until something will happen. When we discovered by looking up over and over again that cycles existed above us, that each day bringing in each glorious night was a progression, or a noticeable pattern within the world around us- that must have been truly a series of very bendy moments. Come to think of it, there are probably other utterly altering realities around us that we have yet to see, and the beauty of this one, for us right now, is that it is all we have. Yet we count. We’ve built tools to count, to measure. Precision grade. We are exact. Sharp. Many experiences point us at the passage of time. We’re on time heavy. I’m thinking, and trying to do less time heavy stuff. Less looking back and forward more moment to moment. As an experiment. ——————————————— ——————————————— THE BIG BLUE ANNOUNCEMENT IS Altar of Now will now be in a beautiful studio in the outer sunset one day a week.

If you’re interested in these services contact me Using indigo dye is a meditation, an exercise in letting go of what we want and appreciating what arises. When you submerge something new or something old, something you love, something you’d like to have a new relationship with INTO the dark dye you turn it over. It comes out different, especially in the ways you know it. How it is now, is how it is now. Here are some ways to take care of your “new” item in the early moments. 1. Let It Dry Hang it up somewhere to air dry and get crispy. Setting the stuff in a sunny spot is a favorite of mine. Watch your hands after you set it to dry- you might have dye on your hands ;) 2. Rinse Carefully Once you’ve let it dry out, you’re gonna get it wet. Rinse it outside, or in a steel sink or a bucket or something. You don’t want the excess dye staining your beautiful sink. Now you dont need to rinse it if you dyed something thats art or gonna be on a table or something. If you’re not gonna wear it, you dont need to wash it. 3. Wash Alone, Cold With Salt Rinsing it prior to washing is cool because you don’t want dye running off as you wash it getting on your washer and dryer walls. I wash my dyed stuff for the first time by itself, in cold water with a little bit of salt (any kind is fine). If you don’t have salt its all ok. 4. Dry Alone Dry it alone for the first time just to be safe, better yet air dry it outside in the sun again. 5. Check Your Appliance My hope is that no excess dye leached out into your washer or dryer, but if it did- a rag with a little bit of water should wipe it right off. 6. Enjoy What ever you got, appreciate that ya got it now. Look at it, embrace it, wear it if you can and see it for what it is. Something special. https://www.altarofnow.com/meditations/preparetodye monthly 0.5 2025-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/1720670795899-2VJB4Y3C6KAKN3NJ9QFA/preparetodye.jpeg Meditations - Cool considerations when preparing to dye Altar Of Now, based in San Francisco, is an energy healing service in the Outer Sunset providing Reiki, Bodywork, Psychedelic Integration and a type of counseling called Internal Dynamics. If you’re interested in these services contact me It is very cool that you are going to be bringing something somewhere to try something new and dye it shades of blue. I’d like to share some cool things to think about as you prepare for the dye party. What should I bring? A couple small items ( size examples: hat, t-shirt) or one larger item ( size examples: pants, hoody). Its really about the size of the item/how much water (thus dye) it will suck up. So a small item could be socks, it could be a handkerchief, shoes- you get it. Same principles go for bringing one large item. It's nice to save some dye for everyone so don’t bring your duvet-cover. Cotton works best, Indigo shows up the most on natural or white cotton- but that doesn't mean you can’t get weird and bring something made of wool or yellow nylon and see what happens. Things you can dye you might not think about: quincera dress, pottery smock, stained Depop purchase, your shoes What will I do at the dye happening? Ok so you’ll have your stuff, we’ll chat and I’ll point you to a station where you can bind up your items (creating designs). When you’re done preparing your items, you’ll take bring em back to me to the dye station where we’ll talk about what you’re working with and how it should be dyed. After dyeing, your item will be set aside to cure before you take it home. Do I have a design in mind? Cool contemplation. Sometimes dyeing is cool because you can hide something in blue. Sometimes dyeing is cool because you can make something super ornate, delicate, other times its really fun to hold an item in your hand, twist it all wild and see what happens. The truth is whichever approach is going to be the most satisfying for you is the best. Once it hits the dye its out of our hands, it will be what it will be, most likely something beautiful. I have a tote bag that could be cool to dye should i bring? Yes most definitely. I’ve dyed a tote bag and its one of my favorite items. Should I bring a waterproof way to transport my items? Most definitely! Your stuff may not dry by the time you’re done hanging out so bring a way to get it home without spreading dye to ALL your stuff. Then read this article about what to do with your stuff post dyeing. https://www.altarofnow.com/meditations/godslug-432hz-outsidelands2024-ckr monthly 0.5 2024-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/1723239665774-9AW1NIABSM355KGSYQNP/IMG_2954.JPG Meditations - PURPLE HEAT Playing @ the Altar of Now: Tonal Alchemy by Goldman Currently Being Read @ the Altar Of Now: Seeing That Frees My books are clean closed until the first-ish week of September, and appointments are already booking out.

We can get pretty tired searching for the truth, in part because we feel some sense of time moving. We “need” to get it figured out now because if we don’t, then we won’t and we want. The next moment we hold is meant to be perfect. AND it will be. Like other experiences in our life, in a way we could never imagine. Cloth from cotton was incomprehensible That’s why it’s so helpful to explore. That’s why it’s so helpful to take a moment. Once in a while look at your hands take stock of your feet. Feel the breeze on your arms. Maintain contact with the outside. Use your voice to make an object. This is all the real thing. Even that which feels so far. Into the karma lagoon you go. At this present moment tools outside of my normal practice are required. In this new moment it is ALL new, all firsts firsts. I’ve been in similar states and know them to be beautiful, challenging, hard, easy, eye opening. Environments change. Skill sets too. All follow the wave. And where will I be? In the past I’d say that I’m at the oars, or working the rudder- some muscled sculpting the path ahead. And now? I feel as if all I have the energy for, the sole act I can commit is to turn my self over to the water. A river runs. ——————————————— https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/c1fc0830-f32b-45a6-afc8-8dddab59eb83/Screenshot+2024-08-09+at+2.01.42%E2%80%AFPM.jpeg Meditations - PURPLE HEAT - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.altarofnow.com/meditations/peace-water-bliss-trick-san-francisco-earth-realm monthly 0.5 2024-08-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/1723756582574-LWSMAI5BYBR5KDREYIMM/yes.jpg Meditations - peace water bliss trick Playing @ the Altar of Now: The Birds by Rick Cuveas and ゾッド by Mukqs Currently Being Read @ the Altar Of Now: Seeing That Frees My books are closed until the second week of September, and appointments are booked out.

There is no right way to do anything, except what arises out of you in each moment. Whether we are breathing together, meditating alone, walking the dog, drinking water or preparing for an upcoming breathwork session- it is all an exploration. If it feels right- do it. Experiment. Change. Nothing is static. ——————————————— In preparing for your breathwork session, the guiding light is to take it easy. In the time before, particularly in the week and days before a breathwork session: Take in less highly stimulating stuff like violent movies, challenging energy, stimulants. Take in less dulling stuff like grass, alcohol, big heavy rich meals, empty content. Drink more water. Clear your to do list. Schedule less. Build a schedule buffer. On the day of your breathwork session, it’s helpful to not have any concrete plans or important conversations- same goes for the day before. It’s nice to keep this time for you. Reduce inputs, especially about Holotropic Breathwork. I’ll cover some specifics of the experience that are helpful to know below- I’ve found that taking in other peoples “trip reports” , watching Youtube videos about how something “is” can create limiting assumptions about what our experience can hold. Plus up your intake on things that make you feel grounded, whole, in your bag. This is listed last but it takes precedent over the preceding bullets. If it’s for you, it’s for you. If it brings you into deep love for you, it is a ok. These observances aren’t to make the experience more powerful, or more visually stimulating- they’re suggestions to calm the chatter in mind, the fuzz, so when you’re lying on your back breathing you can drop into the knowledge within you with less crackle on the radio. ——————————————— https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/1723756582574-LWSMAI5BYBR5KDREYIMM/yes.jpg Meditations - Preparing For Holotropic Breathwork - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/1712079856212-U9UN2DXI57G4L0IMJLMZ/Dune%2BMondrian.jpg Meditations - Preparing For Holotropic Breathwork - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.altarofnow.com/meditations/sanfranciscoearthrestingonearth-reiki monthly 0.5 2024-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef015d4627cbb2a696f7f71/1725934376301-IPTUBZCP6ZWWUB3O868V/repeated_rebirth.jpg Meditations - earth resting on earth Playing @ the Altar of Now: Dream Of Love (Anjunadeep 11 Mix) by Nox Vahn and Mimi Page Currently Being Read @ the Altar Of Now: History Ends In Green Books are open through October for Reiki, Psychedelic Integration & Consultation, Individual/Group Holotropic Breathwork and Meditation - Lets hang out (book here) ——————————————— On Work by Kahlil Gibran You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth. For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite. When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison? Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune. But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthest dream . . . And all work is empty save when there is love; And what is it to work with love? It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth. It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to dwell in that house. It is to sow seeds with tenderness and reap the harvest with joy, even as if your beloved were to eat the fruit.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that channels "universal life force energy" through a practitioner's hands to promote balance and healing in the recipient's body, mind, and spirit. The word "Reiki" combines two Japanese characters: "rei," meaning universal, and "ki," meaning life force energy. During a session, a Reiki practitioner serves as a conduit for this energy, placing their hands on or near specific areas of the client's body to facilitate healing and relaxation. While research has not conclusively proven Reiki's direct healing properties, many clients report reduced stress and anxiety when using it as a complementary treatment. Brief history of Reiki and its origins Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th century. The practice is sometimes called the Usui system of Reiki or therapeutic touch. From Japan, Reiki spread worldwide and has evolved into various styles and approaches, while maintaining its core principles of energy healing and holistic wellness. Overview of key benefits and applications Reiki is primarily used for stress reduction, relaxation, and promoting overall wellbeing. Potential benefits include reduced pain, anxiety, depression, and improved sleep quality, particularly for people with cancer and other chronic conditions. Reiki is generally used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments rather than as a standalone cure. Fundamental Reiki Questions What does "Reiki" mean? According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the English alternative medicine word reiki comes from Japanese reiki (霊気) "mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign", combining rei "universal" and ki "vital energy"—the Sino-Japanese reading of Chinese língqì (靈氣) "numinous atmosphere." What are the core principles of Reiki? The core principles of Reiki center around balance, harmony, and the free flow of energy throughout the body. Practitioners believe that when life force energy becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual distress. Reiki aims to clear these blockages and restore natural energy flow. Additionally, many Reiki practitioners follow the Five Reiki Principles (or Precepts) taught by Mikao Usui: Just for today, do not worry Just for today, do not anger Honor your parents, teachers, and elders Earn your living honestly Show gratitude to every living thing Is Reiki a religious practice? No, Reiki isn't part of any type of religion or belief system. While Reiki has spiritual elements related to energy and healing, it doesn't require adherence to any particular religious belief. People from diverse religious backgrounds can practice and receive Reiki without conflict with their personal faith. How is Reiki different from other healing modalities? Reiki differs from other healing modalities in several key ways: Unlike massage therapy, Reiki involves light touch or no touch at all, with clients remaining fully clothed during sessions. Unlike acupuncture, Reiki doesn't involve needles or physical manipulation of the body. Reiki is distinct from many other practices as it specifically focuses on channeling "universal life force energy" rather than using physical techniques to promote healing. Reiki Sessions What happens during a Reiki session? During a Reiki session, the recipient lies down fully clothed in a comfortable and quiet environment. The practitioner may use techniques like dim lighting or soft music to create a serene atmosphere. The Reiki practitioner positions their hands in up to 15 different ways, deciding how long to leave their palms in each spot based on the energy flow they perceive. Sessions typically follow a sequence of hand positions that cover the head, front torso, back, and sometimes the limbs. How long does a typical Reiki session last? Typically, a single Reiki treatment session will last around 60 to 90 minutes. Some practitioners may offer shorter 30-minute sessions for specific issues or longer sessions for deeper work. The duration can be adjusted based on the client's needs and the practitioner's approach. How should I prepare for my first Reiki session? For your first Reiki session, it's best to: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing Avoid heavy meals right before your appointment Reduce or eliminate alcohol or caffeine intake beforehand Enter with an open mind and without specific expectations Communicate any concerns or health conditions to your practitioner What should I wear to a Reiki session? You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to a Reiki session. Layers are recommended as body temperature can fluctuate during treatment. Since you remain fully clothed during the session, choose non-restrictive garments that allow you to relax completely on the treatment table. Will I need to remove clothing during treatment? No, you do not need to remove clothing during a Reiki session. Unlike massage therapy, Reiki is performed with the client fully clothed. The practitioner's hands are placed on or slightly above various parts of the body, and energy can flow through clothing without any impediment. How many sessions are recommended? The number of recommended Reiki sessions varies depending on individual needs and goals. Typically, a Reiki practitioner would recommend three sessions as a starting point, regarding more Reiki as being better than less. For general wellness and stress management, monthly sessions might be sufficient, while addressing specific health concerns might benefit from weekly sessions initially. Benefits and Effects What conditions can Reiki help with? Reiki is used as a complementary approach for various conditions, including: According to practitioners, Reiki can help with conditions such as insomnia, headaches, gastrointestinal issues, chronic inflammation, gout, arthritis, and asthma. Some research suggests Reiki may offer benefits for improved mood, enhanced coping mechanisms, reduced pain in children with cerebral palsy, management of fibromyalgia symptoms, and improved sexual function and self-confidence in women with sexual distress. However, it's important to note that Reiki should complement, not replace, conventional medical care for serious conditions. What physical sensations might I experience during a session? Recipients often report various sensations during a Reiki session, such as warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of relaxation. These sensations are considered signs of the energy doing its work. Some people may also experience: A feeling of heaviness or lightness Subtle pulsing sensations Temperature changes in different body areas Emotional releases like spontaneous laughter or tears Visual imagery or colors behind closed eyes Not everyone experiences noticeable sensations, and lack of physical sensations doesn't indicate the treatment isn't working. How soon will I notice results from Reiki treatments? Results from Reiki treatments vary widely among individuals. Some people report immediate effects after a single session, including reduced pain, increased relaxation, or emotional release. "Just like exercise, benefits increase with regular sessions. It's a cumulative therapy. With that being said, some people do benefit greatly from a single session when dealing with a specific issue." For chronic conditions or deep-seated issues, consistent treatment over weeks or months may be necessary before significant improvements are noticed. Can Reiki be used alongside conventional medical treatments? Yes, Reiki should be regarded as a complementary therapy rather than an alternative to conventional medicine. It is important to note that Reiki should never take the place of medical treatments. Some people with cancer use Reiki alongside their treatment as a complementary therapy. It is sometimes used in palliative care, especially in hospices. Always inform your healthcare providers about all complementary treatments you're receiving. What scientific research supports Reiki's effectiveness? The scientific research on Reiki presents mixed results: A review of available English-language literature found that out of 13 suitable studies, 8 demonstrated Reiki being more effective than placebo, 4 found no difference but had questionable statistical resolving power, and only one provided clear evidence for not providing benefit. However, most research on Reiki is poorly designed and prone to bias. There is no reliable empirical evidence that Reiki is helpful for treating any medical condition, although some physicians have said it might help promote feelings of general well-being. A 2022 systematic review of 14 controlled trials found high-quality evidence of Reiki's benefits for symptoms of clinical stress and depression. Practitioner Information What training do Reiki practitioners receive? Reiki practitioners typically receive training through a series of levels or degrees: Attunement to first-degree Reiki (Reiki I) confers the ability to treat oneself and others by touch. Attunement to second-degree Reiki (Reiki II) confers the ability to use specific symbols to access Reiki mentally for distant healing. Attunement to third-degree Reiki (Reiki III), or master level, confers the ability to attune others into Reiki. Training involves learning hand positions, attunement procedures, Reiki symbols, distant healing techniques, and ethical guidelines for practice. What are the different levels of Reiki certification? Reiki certification typically consists of three main levels: Level I (Shoden): Focuses on self-healing and basic hands-on techniques. Practitioners learn to channel Reiki energy and the basic hand positions. Level II (Okuden): Introduces the Reiki symbols and teaches distant healing, allowing practitioners to send Reiki across time and space. This level deepens the practitioner's connection to Reiki energy. Level III (Shinpiden)/Master Level: Provides advanced training and the ability to attune others into Reiki. At each level, the ability to effectively heal with Reiki develops progressively through committed practice. How do I choose a qualified Reiki practitioner? When choosing a qualified Reiki practitioner, consider: Anyone treating you should hold a minimum Level 2 Reiki qualification. They should be registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) as a Reiki practitioner. While not legally required in many countries, reputable practitioners usually belong to professional Reiki associations. Look for practitioners with: Clear information about their training lineage and certifications Professional conduct and clear communication A comfortable, clean treatment space Good reviews or personal recommendations Willingness to answer questions about their practice What questions should I ask before booking a session? Before booking a Reiki session, consider asking: What is your Reiki training and experience? What can I expect during a session? How many sessions might be recommended for my specific situation? What is your cancellation policy? Do you have experience working with my specific health concern? How do you maintain professional boundaries? What results can realistically be expected? Do you keep treatment notes and maintain confidentiality? What are your fees and payment options? Do you offer any post-session support? Practical Considerations How much does a Reiki session cost? One private Reiki session can cost between $25 and $100. However, prices may vary. Costs differ significantly based on: Geographic location (urban centers typically charge more) Practitioner experience and reputation Session length Practice setting (private practice vs. wellness center) Special packages or discounts for multiple sessions Some community wellness centers offer sliding scale fees or group sessions at reduced rates. Does insurance cover Reiki treatments? Generally, most standard health insurance plans do not cover Reiki treatments as they are considered complementary or alternative therapies. However, there are some exceptions: Some flexible spending accounts (FSAs) or health savings accounts (HSAs) may reimburse for Reiki if prescribed by a physician for a specific medical condition. Certain integrated healthcare settings may offer Reiki as part of covered treatment plans for pain management or palliative care. Check with your insurance provider about specific coverage options and whether you need a doctor's referral for potential reimbursement. Can I learn to practice Reiki on myself? Yes, you can learn to practice Reiki on yourself. Self-Reiki is actually one of the first skills taught in Level I Reiki training. Learning self-treatment allows for daily energy maintenance and is considered an important part of a practitioner's personal practice. Benefits of self-Reiki include: Daily stress management Energy balancing on demand Complementing other wellness practices Supporting personal growth and awareness Cost-effective long-term health maintenance To learn self-Reiki properly, you should receive attunement and training from a qualified Reiki Master Teacher. Is distance/remote Reiki as effective as in-person sessions? Attunement to second-degree Reiki (Reiki II) confers the ability to use specific symbols to access Reiki mentally for distant healing. Many practitioners and recipients report that distance Reiki can be just as effective as in-person sessions, as Reiki energy is believed to transcend physical limitations of time and space. The effectiveness of distance Reiki depends largely on: The practitioner's skill and experience with distance healing The recipient's openness to receiving energy remotely Clear intention and focus during the session Established connection between practitioner and recipient Distance sessions are typically conducted at a pre-arranged time when the recipient can relax and be receptive to the energy. Special Applications Is Reiki safe for children and infants? Research on the risks and side effects of Reiki is limited, but existing evidence suggests Reiki is safe for the general population, including children. When performed by a qualified practitioner, Reiki is generally considered safe for children and infants. For children and infants, sessions are typically: Shorter in duration (15-30 minutes) Less formal, allowing for movement and comfort Modified in hand positions to be appropriate and non-intrusive Conducted with a parent or guardian present Many parents report that Reiki helps calm fussy babies, improve sleep patterns, and ease discomfort from teething or minor illnesses. Can Reiki help with pregnancy and childbirth? Reiki is increasingly used to support women through pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. During pregnancy, Reiki may help: Reduce anxiety and stress Alleviate common discomforts like nausea and back pain Promote bonding with the baby Support emotional balance during hormonal changes Improve sleep quality During labor, Reiki may provide: Natural pain management support Increased energy during lengthy labor Calming energy for both mother and baby Support for the birth partner or doula As with any complementary therapy during pregnancy, consult with your healthcare provider first and work with a Reiki practitioner experienced in prenatal care. How can Reiki benefit seniors? Reiki can offer numerous benefits for seniors, including: Complementary support for managing chronic conditions Reduced anxiety and improved mood Better sleep quality Support for grief and loss Enhanced sense of peace and well-being Non-pharmaceutical approach to pain management Gentle touch that is safe for fragile skin or mobility issues Reiki sessions for seniors can be modified to accommodate physical limitations, allowing treatment while seated in a chair or even in a hospital bed if necessary. Can Reiki help with emotional and mental health issues? A research study published in the Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine journal notes that participants who received Reiki "showed a progressive improvement in overall mood," particularly those with high anxiety and depression. Reiki may support emotional and mental well-being by: Creating a deeply relaxed state that allows emotional processing Helping to release emotional blockages stored in the body Promoting feelings of safety and security Supporting better sleep, which impacts mental health Complementing other mental health therapies and treatments For serious mental health conditions, Reiki should be used alongside, not instead of, conventional psychological or psychiatric care. How is Reiki used for pets and animals? Reiki has gained popularity as a complementary therapy for animals of all types. When practicing Reiki with animals: The approach is often less structured than with humans Animals are allowed to determine their comfort level with the energy Sessions may be shorter and less formal The practitioner follows the animal's lead in terms of proximity and duration Pet owners report benefits including: Calming anxious or fearful animals Supporting recovery after surgery or illness Easing transition to new homes or environments Providing comfort for aging or terminally ill animals Strengthening the human-animal bond Many animal shelters now incorporate Reiki programs to help traumatized animals heal emotionally before adoption. Common Concerns and Misconceptions Is Reiki safe? Reiki is generally considered safe. If you're healthy, regular Reiki therapy sessions may be able to prevent certain conditions and increase your means of responding to stress. There are no known direct risks of Reiki treatments. However, it can be harmful if a person chooses Reiki treatments instead of treatments with more scientifically proven benefits. Since Reiki involves only light touch or no touch at all, it presents minimal physical risks and can be adapted for people with various health conditions. Are there any side effects to Reiki treatments? Reiki itself has no known negative side effects when performed properly. However, some people may experience what practitioners call a "healing reaction," which can include: Temporary emotional release (crying, laughter) Mild physical reactions like headache, fatigue, or lightheadedness Increased urination or bowel movements as the body releases toxins Vivid dreams or memories Temporary intensification of symptoms before improvement These reactions are generally mild and short-lived, considered part of the healing process rather than adverse effects. Why do some medical professionals remain skeptical about Reiki? Most research on Reiki is poorly designed and prone to bias. There is no reliable empirical evidence that Reiki is helpful for treating any medical condition, although some physicians have said it might help promote feelings of general well-being. Medical professionals may be skeptical due to: Lack of a scientifically measurable mechanism of action Inconsistent or limited high-quality research Difficulty in designing double-blind studies for energy work The subjective nature of many reported benefits Professional training that emphasizes evidence-based approaches Despite skepticism, many hospitals and medical centers now offer Reiki as part of integrative medicine programs due to patient demand and observed benefits. Can Reiki replace conventional medical treatment? No, Reiki should never take the place of medical treatments. A person should always consult their doctor before engaging in complementary therapies. Reiki does not treat conditions on its own but can be used to support traditional treatment you may receive. Reiki is most appropriately used as a complementary approach that works alongside conventional care to: Support the body's natural healing abilities Enhance well-being during medical treatment Help manage stress and anxiety related to health issues Potentially reduce side effects of necessary medical treatments Learning Reiki How can I learn Reiki for myself? Learning Reiki typically involves finding a qualified Reiki Master Teacher and completing formal training through the degree levels. To learn Reiki: Research Reiki styles and lineages to find an approach that resonates with you Ask for recommendations for reputable teachers in your area Interview potential teachers about their experience, teaching style, and post-class support Begin with Level I training, which focuses on self-healing and basic techniques Practice regularly after receiving attunement Progress to higher levels as you feel ready and after sufficient practice Certificates can be purchased online for under $100. It is "not uncommon" for a course to offer attainment of Reiki master in two weekends. However, for deeper understanding and skill development, look for comprehensive training programs with experienced teachers. What are Reiki attunements? Attunement is done by a Reiki master, through a series of rituals that are said to open the energy channels of the body. The attunement process is a ceremonial initiation that: Connects the student to the Reiki energy source Opens and clears the energy pathways in the body Enables the student to channel Reiki energy Passes the ability to practice Reiki from teacher to student Is performed differently at each level of training Many students report significant experiences during attunements, including sensations of energy, emotional release, or visual perceptions. The effects of attunement are considered permanent, though some teachers recommend "reattunements" to refresh the connection. How long does it take to become a Reiki practitioner? The time required to become a proficient Reiki practitioner varies based on: Training format: Weekend intensives vs. extended courses meeting weekly Personal practice commitment: Daily self-Reiki vs. occasional practice Progression through levels: Time between completing each degree Mentorship opportunities: Working with experienced practitioners Most people can learn the basics of Reiki I in a 1-2 day course. However, developing proficiency requires: Regular self-practice (ideally daily) Practicing on others with permission Integration of Reiki principles into daily life Continuing education and community connection At each level, the ability to effectively heal with Reiki develops progressively through committed practice. Can anyone learn Reiki? Yes, virtually anyone can learn Reiki regardless of religious background, education level, or prior experience with energy work. Reiki doesn't require special abilities, psychic talents, or previous healing experience. Requirements for learning Reiki typically include: Openness to the process and concepts Willingness to receive the attunement Commitment to practice after training Respect for the tradition and lineage Following the guidance of your Reiki teacher Some Reiki traditions may have specific prerequisites for higher levels, such as a minimum practice period between degrees or completion of case studies. Conclusion Summary of key points about Reiki Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and overall wellbeing through light touch or hands-hovering techniques. Its gentle approach works to dissolve energy blockages and foster profound emotional and physical relief. While scientific evidence about Reiki's effectiveness varies, many people report benefits including stress reduction, pain management, improved mood, and enhanced quality of life. Reiki is generally safe and can complement conventional medical care, though it should never replace necessary medical treatment.
