Reiki Machi - Reiki and Qigong Healing FAQs
What is Reiki?
- Reiki is a gentle, balancing, energy therapy modality. It is a spiritual practice and meditation that helps to restore, relax and balance
- Reiki activates your self-healing mechanism
- Reiki energy is not a pathway modality. Therefore, it is received by the body where it is needed most.
- Reiki can be practiced hands-on, in-person, or remotely, with Clients in office or in the comfort of their own space, lying fully clothed, on a treatment table, or seated comfortably in a chair
What is Remote Reiki?
- Because Reiki energy travels across distance and space intact, the session unfolds the same way as an in-person session except it is done via Skype, Zoom, Facetime, or phone. And, if Practitioner and Client live close to each other, and weather permits, we can set up safe-distance chairs outdoors and sit across from each other. That's really fun!
What is Qigong?
- Qigong is a 4000+ year old Chinese Energy Medicine that refreshes our energy systems and activates our self-healing power.
- Qi = Life Force Energy. Gong = Skill. QiGong = The skill of moving life force energy!
- Qigong exercises mirror the movements of nature, cultivating health, vitality, and deep relaxation

What does a typical Remote or In-Person Reiki Machi session look like?
- A Reiki session can range in length from 30-60 minutes and longer depending on the needs of the Client. Reiki Clients are treated fully clothed, while lying down, or seated, fully supported, in a comfortable chair.
- The Reiki Practitioner will start with a Client intake, to understand health and spiritual goals, and to customize the sessions
- The intention is set. This intention confirms and supports the Clients' needs and guides the entire session. Once the Practitioner concentrates on the intention, energy follows
- In both In-person and Remote sessions, the Reiki Practitioner will determine which series of hand positions are best suited to the Client's needs. If In-Person, the hands lightly touch or hover slightly over the Client. There is no manipulation or massage. If Remote, the Practitioner will place her own hands on, or over her own body. Clients may feel a warm tingling sensation, soft or cool vibrations, and others may feel nothing in particular except that they feel relaxed, calm and grounded. (And Reiki still works great even if you fall asleep!)
- Many sessions begin with gentle Qigong exercises to raise up vibration energy
- In addition to Reiki and Qigong, we will enhance your wellness toolkit with meditation, prayer, chakra balancing, somatic exercises, visualization, character drawing and story re-writing.
Is there any preparation necessary before and after sessions?
- It is helpful for Clients to dress comfortably, lie or sit in a nice comfy spot and drink water throughout the day after the session
How many sessions are necessary?
- Clients usually report feeling better and more relaxed after their first session, and typically additional weekly or every-other-week sessions are encouraged to strengthen and stabilize results. We have been having raising a lot of joy with the 3-day mini retreats, customized to Clients' schedules. See more on booking page
