Feeling called to try Reiki energy healing in Morris, IL? At Healing Spirit Wellness Spa, we guide first-time clients through this powerful yet gentle healing practice with warmth, respect, and heart-centered care.

If you’re curious about what happens during a Reiki session, here’s everything you can expect when you walk through our doors for your first experience with this transformational energy work.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced RAY-kee) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and energetic healing. It involves the gentle laying-on or hovering of hands above the body to channel universal life force energy into areas that need balance.

Reiki is completely non-invasive — there’s no manipulation of muscles or physical pressure involved. Instead, it works at the energetic level, helping to restore harmony to the body’s natural flow.

Preparing for Your Reiki Session

You don’t need to do anything special before arriving for your Reiki appointment at Healing Spirit Wellness Spa in Morris, IL. However, here are a few tips to maximize your experience:

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes.
  • Arrive a few minutes early to ground yourself and relax.
  • Stay hydrated before and after your session.
  • Set an open-minded intention to receive whatever your body and spirit need most.

There’s no right or wrong way to experience Reiki — simply come as you are!

During the Reiki Session

Your Reiki session will take place in a peaceful, private room filled with calming music, soft lighting, and healing intention.

Here’s what typically happens:

  • You’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table or reclining chair.
  • The Reiki practitioner will lightly place their hands above or gently on different areas of your body — typically starting at the head and working downward.
  • You may feel warmth, tingling, pulsing, or a gentle wave-like sensation as the energy flows.
  • It’s perfectly normal to fall into a meditative or deeply relaxed state — some people even drift into light sleep.
  • Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes.

Each Reiki experience is unique. Some clients feel immediate physical or emotional release; others experience subtle shifts that unfold in the days following.

Common Experiences During Reiki

During or after your Reiki session, you may notice:

  • A deep sense of calm and emotional balance
  • Release of built-up tension and stress
  • Increased mental clarity and insight
  • Physical sensations like warmth, lightness, or gentle pulsing
  • Emotional processing or letting go of old energy blocks

Many clients at Healing Spirit Wellness Spa in Morris, IL report feeling a renewed connection to themselves — and a lighter, more peaceful outlook on life after just one Reiki session.

After Your Reiki Session

After your session, take it easy. Your energy field will continue rebalancing for hours — sometimes even days — afterward. We recommend:

  • Drinking plenty of water to help the body flush energetic toxins.
  • Listening to your body’s needs for rest, movement, or nutrition.
  • Journaling any emotions, visions, or inspirations that arise.

Be gentle with yourself — Reiki awakens a natural healing response within your own being.

Benefits of Ongoing Reiki Healing

While a single Reiki session can create powerful shifts, consistent Reiki sessions offer deeper benefits, including:

  • Enhanced emotional resilience
  • Faster recovery from physical or emotional stress
  • Greater sense of spiritual connection
  • Improved sleep quality and energy flow
  • Support for other healing practices and therapies

Many of our clients schedule monthly Reiki sessions as part of their ongoing self-care and emotional healing practice.
