No, just like you don’t have to believe in gravity for it to work. The same healing mechanisms are activated and magnified, that are associated with deep restorative sleep.

There are many intricate elements involved, but on a VERY BASIC level; reiki / energy healing switches the electromagnetic field from ‘fight or flight’ to ‘rest and restore’ creating an environment for your body, mind and emotions to heal.

We are often unaware of the energetic baggage weighing us down in life. Energetic baggage being emotional energy, mental energy or physical energy which are all working together to influence how we feel. Reiki / energy healing works to lift that baggage from your general day to day life experience.

I like to leave a full hour for a session, which allows time for any questions at the beginning, 40 minutes of therapy, and time at the end for you to gradually recalibrate to your new reality. Just one reiki / energy healing session will benefit you massively (especially in times of high stress) but I usually recommend 3 sessions, one week apart to feel the full results of the therapy.

It is more important to pick a time slot when you can continue to be ‘gentle’ with yourself AFTER a session; this allows you to fully benefit from the therapy. For example, if you have stacks to do in the afternoon, but are free in the morning, go for

an evening slot! You may feel too relaxed and spaced out in the hours after a session, to perform at your best. The following day you may feel a new lease of life and energy. As for the session itself; wear what you feel comfortable in. Stay hydrated.
