After your Reiki session, you may wish to take some time to continue the feeling of relaxation and calm.
• Allow yourself some quiet time after your treatment if possible, giving your body and mind space to settle.
• Drink water or herbal tea and enjoy a nourishing meal when you feel ready.
• Try to avoid rushing straight back into a busy schedule where possible. Gentle activities such as reading, relaxing at home, or taking a warm bath can help you prolong the sense of calm.
• Pay attention to how you feel over the following hours or days. Some people notice changes in their mood, relaxation levels, sleep, or sense of wellbeing, while others may simply enjoy the experience of taking time out for themselves.
• Everyone responds differently to relaxation-based treatments, so listen to your body and give yourself the time and space you need.
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive relaxation practice and works alongside, rather than replacing, any medical care you may need.
To help you get the most from your treatment, please follow the advice below:
Stay hydrated, drink water or maybe even a lovely warm herbal or fruity tea.
Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day and, where possible, limit caffeine.
Give yourself permission to relax. If you can, spend the rest of the day taking things easy, a warm bath, reading a book or simply enjoying some quiet time will help prolong the relaxing effects of your massage.
You may experience some temporary after-effects such as feeling deeply relaxed, sleepy, light-headed, a mild headache or feeling more emotional than usual. These are normal neurophysiological responses for some people and should settle within 24–48 hours.
Listen to your body and allow yourself time to rest if you feel you need it.
Drink to thirst. You don’t need to force large amounts of water, but staying normally hydrated supports your body’s normal functions.
Gentle movement, such as a 10- to 20-minute walk, can encourage lymph flow further, as the lymphatic system relies on muscle movement.
Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day if you feel tired, but light activity is encouraged.
Eat a balanced meal and, if possible, avoid excessive alcohol for the rest of the day, as it can contribute to dehydration.
You may notice increased urination, mild fatigue or a feeling of deep relaxation. These are common responses, although not everyone experiences them.
Everyone responds differently. Some people feel lighter and more relaxed immediately, while others simply notice gradual changes over the next 24 to 48 hours. If you have any concerns following your treatment, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
