What is Reiki Healing: How it Works and What to Expect

Are you feeling drained, anxious, or out of balance? Many people in the Midlands are turning to Reiki healing as a gentle, natural way to restore emotional, physical, and energetic harmony. But what exactly is Reiki and what happens during a session?

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is an ancient Japanese energy healing technique that promotes stress reduction, emotional release, physical healing, and inner peace. The word Reiki combines Rei (universal) and Ki (life force energy). This healing practice helps clear energetic blockages so your body and mind can return to a more balanced state.

How Does Reiki Work?

Reiki is performed by a certified practitioner who gently places their hands either just above or lightly on your body. You remain fully clothed and usually will be lying down comfortably on a massage table; however, it can be done while sitting in a chair. The practitioner channels healing energy through their hands into your body, targeting areas that may feel blocked, heavy, or out of sync. The session usually begins with your head, neck, and shoulders and then moves down your body, ending with the practitioner helping to ground you by applying the healing energy to your ankles and feet. You can let go of the outcome, trusting that your body knows what to do with the healing energy.

During or after the session many people report feeling:

  • Warmth or tingling

  • Deep relaxation

  • Emotional release

  • A sense of clarity or lightness afterwards

What Happens During a Session at Indigo Palm Healing?

At Indigo Palm Healing in West Columbia, SC every session is customized based on your emotional, physical, mental and energetic needs. We’ll start with a discussion to share, as you feel comfortable, what’s been going in your life physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Then you’ll receive:

  • 20 – 60 minutes of Reiki, depending upon the session and Add-ons you choose (may include an energy scan, crystals, sound healing, or intuitive messages if you’re open)

  • A gentle wrap-up with insights, grounding tips, and suggestions for aftercare

Who is Reiki For?

While Reiki is safe for everyone, check with your healthcare professional if you have any concerns. Remember Reiki is always a complement to your regular health care. It is especially beneficial if you:

  • Are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck

  • Struggle with fatigue, insomnia, or burnout

  • Want support for emotional healing or trauma recovery

  • Feel disconnected from your intuition or purpose

“Monthly reiki sessions with Claudia have been a great way for me to indulge in some much needed self-care. After just a few sessions I have seen improvements in my sleep, stress levels, and shoulder pain. Claudia has created a calm and peaceful environment and I’m always excited when I come for my session!”
