Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. During a session, universal life energy is channeled to unblock and harmonize the body's energy flows, helping to relieve tension, reduce stress, and foster a general sense of well-being.
If you've never experienced a Reiki session, you might wonder how it works and what to expect. I am Leticia Iborra, Reiki Master in Mauritius Island, and in this article, I’ll explain everything you need to know.
The Setting of a Reiki Session
My Reiki sessions take place in a calm and relaxing environment in Pereybère. I pay close attention to the atmosphere to ensure you feel comfortable and can fully relax. You’ll only hear the singing of birds, the rustling of wind through the trees, and soft, soothing music. There’s usually incense burning, but never to the point of overwhelming the space. The goal is to create an environment where you can disconnect from external worries and focus on your inner well-being.
Before We Begin
The session starts with a brief conversation between you and me. During this time, you can share how you’re feeling, whether you have any specific discomforts, or if you’re going through a particular emotional moment. This helps me tailor the session to your needs and helps you set a clear intention for the session.
Afterward, I’ll begin by cleansing your energy using sage.
How the Session Unfolds
During the session, you’ll lie on a mattress, fully clothed (make sure to wear comfortable clothes) and without shoes.
I will place my hands on or near different areas of your body in a series of specific positions. My hands may stay still or move slowly, depending on the energy being worked on.
It’s common to feel a sense of warmth or a slight tingling in the areas being treated, though each person experiences Reiki differently. Some feel deeply relaxed, while others may experience emotional release or even fall asleep.
The Role of Energy
Reiki is a complementary therapeutic practice recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Reiki does not involve physical pressure, muscle manipulation, or external tools. It is a non-invasive technique. The practitioner acts as a channel through which universal energy flows into your body, helping you balance your energy centers (chakras) and promoting healing.

After the Session
At the end of the session, we’ll share our impressions and sensations. Sometimes, I’ll share any intuitions I’ve had that might help support your well-being.
Many people report feeling lighter, with increased mental clarity or a deep sense of inner peace.
It’s important to drink water after a session to help your body release the energies it no longer needs. Subtle changes in the days following are common, such as improved sleep or a stronger emotional connection. Some people might experience mild diarrhea or a slight cold, which is nothing to worry about—it’s simply the result of the energetic cleansing that has taken place.
A Moment for Yourself
In a fast-paced world, gifting yourself a Reiki session can be a precious opportunity to reconnect with yourself and restore balance. Each session is a unique experience designed to help you return to your center.
