Before and After Reiki Treatment – Best Practices

A Reiki session is more than just a moment of relaxation — it’s an energetic reset. When you prepare yourself before and care for your energy afterward, the benefits can flow even deeper and last even longer. Whether you’re new to Golden Tera Mai Reiki or returning for continued healing, these simple practices can help you make the most of your session.

Before Your Reiki Session

1. Set your intention

Reiki works with the energy of intention — so before your session, take a few quiet moments to reflect on what you’d like to release or invite in. It doesn’t need to be complicated; it might be something like “I want to feel calm,” or “I want to reconnect with my inner peace.”

2. Stay hydrated and grounded

Drink plenty of water throughout the day and, if possible, eat a light, nourishing meal beforehand. Reiki moves energy through the body, and hydration helps that energy flow smoothly.

3. Arrive with an open mind

You don’t need to “do” anything during your session — simply relax and allow the energy to move where it’s needed. Even if you don’t feel strong sensations, trust that the Reiki is working. Every experience is unique and perfect for what your energy requires in that moment.

After Your Reiki Session

1. Take time to rest and integrate

After a Reiki treatment, your energy continues to rebalance for hours or even days. Give yourself time to rest, reflect, or enjoy gentle activities like a walk in nature or a warm bath. This helps your body and spirit integrate the healing.

2. Continue to hydrate

Just as before, drink plenty of water. Reiki helps release stagnant energy and emotions, and staying hydrated supports this natural cleansing process.

3. Notice what shifts

Pay attention to how you feel in the days following your session — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Some people experience a burst of energy or clarity; others feel deeply calm or introspective. Whatever arises is part of your healing journey.

4. Honour your process

Healing isn’t always linear. Reiki works on subtle layers of energy, so sometimes the most powerful shifts are gentle and gradual. Be kind to yourself and trust that every session is moving you closer to balance.
