What to Expect in a Reiki Session
​
At Soul-Smudge, our Reiki sessions are designed to clear away unwanted energies, balance your chakra system, promote relaxation, and restore harmony to your mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're new to Reiki or experienced, here’s what you can expect during a session with us.
​
Session Goals
​
The main goals of a Reiki session include:
-
Clearing unwanted or stagnant energy
-
Opening, aligning, and balancing the chakra system
-
Promoting relaxation and emotional clarity
-
Restoring harmony to your mind, body, and spirit
Our intention is to support your healing journey by creating a safe and calming space for your energy to realign and flow freely.
How to Prepare for Your Session
​
-
Clothing: Reiki is performed fully clothed. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
-
Jewelry: Minimal jewelry is recommended.
-
Hydration: Drink water before your session to help your energy flow smoothly.
-
Mindset: Come with an open heart and mind, and set an intention for your healing. What are you hoping to achieve during your session? We'll also discuss this during the intake.​​​​​​

​​What Happens During a Session?
​
-
Intake Discussion: Every session begins with a brief intake conversation. This is your opportunity to share why you're here, any specific concerns or intentions you have, and what you'd like to focus on during the session.
-
Getting Comfortable: You’ll be invited to remove your shoes and lie down comfortably on a massage table. A blanket will be provided if needed, we’ll dim the lights, and play soft meditation music to create a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
-
Starting with Energy Clearing: We begin by guiding you into a calm, meditative state. Aura cleansing (using smoke, essential oil mists, sound tools, or crystals) and a chakra check will be performed to prepare your energy field. Sometimes, we may take you through a guided meditation to help release unwanted energy before the Reiki begins.
-
Reiki and Energy Healing:
-
We use traditional Reiki hand positions, starting at your head and working our way to your feet.
-
Light touch may be applied at specific chakras (e.g., head, neck) but never in sensitive or private areas. If you prefer no touch, we can work with hands hovering above the body instead.
-
In addition to Reiki, we may integrate other healing modalities like crystal healing, sound therapy, Light Language, or shamanic energy work. Spirit and intuition guide the session, tailoring the experience to what you need most at that moment.

​​
Your Experience During the Session
​
Clients often report sensations such as:
-
Warmth or tingling
-
Seeing colors or lights with their eyes closed
-
A feeling of deep relaxation or falling asleep
-
Sensations of extra hands or presences (especially when angelic energies are channeled)
Each session is unique to the individual. Whatever sensations you experience are valid and perfect for your healing journey.
After Your Session
​
Once the session ends, we will take a few minutes to discuss how you feel and address any questions you may have. It’s common to feel deeply relaxed, peaceful, and even slightly "light-headed" as your energy continues to balance.
-
Hydration: Drink plenty of water afterward to help flush out any toxins released during the session.
-
Grounding: You may also find it helpful to eat a small snack or take a short walk to ground your energy.
-
Self-Care: You may continue to feel shifts in your energy over the next 24-48 hours. Rest when needed and listen to your body.
We Look Forward to Working With You!
