WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is an energy healing practice with roots in Japan, which may promote stress reduction, relaxation and overall wellbeing by activating your nervous system's parasympathetic state, known as the "rest and digest" state. It's like a massage, but for your energy, and it’s achieved by tapping into “universal life force” energy.
During a Reiki session, the practitioner acts as a facilitator and as a person who is holding space for you. Any healing and energy work that happens is your magick. Your energy body intelligently and naturally works with the universal life force energy to give yourself what you need and are ready for at that time.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A REIKI SESSION?
At the scheduled time, log into the Google Meet link. We'll have a brief introduction, and then you can lie down and close your eyes in a space where you can relax and spend 30 minutes uninterrupted. You can move around to get comfortable during the session as needed!
During that time, I will complete a Reiki session by connecting to your energy field remotely. Both our eyes will be closed during the session and I do not need to see you on the camera. In fact, a virtual meeting connection is not required to complete a distance Reiki session, but I include it to provide assurance that we can speak to each other live both before and after the session.
Everyone experiences Reiki uniquely and your experience can change each time you have a session. Some just feel like they get into a relaxed state (kind of like when you get a physical massage!), some fall asleep or go in and out of sleep, some may get into a deep meditative state (I noticed this is more likely if you have or have had a meditation practice), some feel heat, coldness or a buzzing in their body, and some feel NOTHING at all. These examples are not exhaustive. Don't let expectation drive your experience - just be and honor what happens.
Because the energy continues to move and settles in over the course of a few weeks, things MAY come up for you in the days to follow. Trust, be open and flow with what comes up. Sometimes, uncomfortable things may come to the surface (it's happened to me!), but it may be things that you are ready to face and heal from. Sometimes, nothing consciously comes up for you and you may not emotionally/physically feel anything.
Overall, there's no specific result I can promise. Being open and if you wish, setting an intention for yourself, may be helpful.
Be sure to also hydrate after and be mindful of anything your body asks you for!
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET A REIKI SESSION?
As with many things in life, the answer is that it depends. My best guidance is to trust yourself and book again when you feel called to.
A Note from Your Reiki Pracitioner
Hello! My Name is Tracy Lugo. Thank you for being here and considering a Reiki session with me!
I’ve been practicing Reiki since November 2025, following Level I and II Usui Reiki attunements with Barbara Denny in South Carolina.
I’m grateful for the healing Reiki enables and its reminder of our innate sovereignty, power, and intelligence. My hope is that a Reiki experience will not only support your overall wellbeing, but also spark curiosity about the magick that you are.
If you’d like to follow me along on my journey, I’ll be posting videos at https://www.youtube.com/@Takingapause.
