If you’ve been feeling emotionally drained, energetically heavy, or like your nervous system has been running on iced coffee and pure determination, Reiki may be a beautiful place to begin.
Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice designed to support relaxation, emotional balance, and energetic alignment. It is often used as a complementary holistic wellness practice for people who want to feel more grounded, peaceful, and connected to themselves.
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that works with the body’s energy system. During a Reiki session, the practitioner gently places their hands near or lightly on the body, or offers Reiki from a distance during a virtual Reiki session.
The intention is to support the body’s natural ability to relax, restore, and rebalance. Reiki is not about forcing healing or “fixing” you. It creates a calm, supportive space where your mind, body, and spirit can soften. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, Reiki is considered a complementary health approach, and research on its effectiveness is still limited and mixed. (NCCIH)
Distance Reiki, also called virtual Reiki or remote Reiki, allows you to receive Reiki energy healing from the comfort of your own space. Your practitioner does not need to be physically present with you.
A virtual Reiki session may take place through video conferencing and usually includes a short check-in, the Reiki treatment, and a closing reflection. You can relax in bed, sit in a quiet room, light a candle, grab a blanket, or simply show up exactly as you are. No perfect spiritual setup required. Your laundry pile does not block energy, thankfully.
Many people book Reiki sessions for:
Stress relief
Emotional balance
Energetic clearing
Deep relaxation
Nervous system support
Spiritual connection
Chakra balancing
Feeling grounded and centered
Support during life transitions
Reconnecting with themselves
Reiki is especially supportive when you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, burned out, emotionally heavy, or unsure how to slow down.
Every Reiki practitioner works a little differently, but a virtual Reiki session often includes three parts:
You’ll begin by sharing how you’re feeling, what you’re moving through, and what you’d like support with. This helps set the intention for the session.
During the Reiki portion, you’ll be invited to get comfortable and relax. You may feel warmth, tingling, emotional release, heaviness, lightness, calm, or you may simply feel still. There is no “right” way to receive Reiki.
After the treatment, you’ll reconnect with your practitioner to discuss how you feel, anything that came up, and any grounding practices that may support you afterward.
Before your distance Reiki session, choose a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax without interruption.
You may want to have:
Water nearby
A blanket or pillow
A journal
Soft music
A candle
Crystals or spiritual tools if you use them
But truly, all you need is yourself. Reiki can meet you in cozy socks, messy buns, and “I barely made it here” energy.
After a Reiki session, your energy may continue shifting for 24–48 hours. Support yourself with gentle aftercare.
Try to:
Drink water
Rest if you feel tired
Journal any emotions or insights
Spend time in nature
Avoid rushing into heavy tasks
Notice what comes up without judgment
Give yourself permission to move slowly
This is integration time. Your energy is not a microwave meal. Let it simmer.
No. Reiki is a complementary holistic wellness practice and should not replace medical care, mental health treatment, therapy, medication, diagnosis, or professional healthcare advice.
It can be a supportive addition to your self-care and spiritual wellness routine, but it should be used alongside appropriate care from licensed healthcare providers when needed. NCCIH notes that Reiki has not been clearly shown to be effective for health-related purposes, though it has not been shown to have harmful effects. (NCCIH)
Reiki may be a good fit if you are craving:
A peaceful reset
Emotional grounding
Spiritual support
A deeper connection with yourself
A softer way to process stress
Time to pause, breathe, and receive
You do not have to be deeply spiritual to benefit from a Reiki session. You can be intuitive, curious, skeptical, exhausted, hopeful, or somewhere in the middle. All are welcome.
If your energy has been feeling heavy, scattered, or stretched too thin, The Sacred Energy Reset was created to help you slow down, reconnect, and receive support.
This virtual Reiki session includes a gentle check-in, distance Reiki treatment, and closing reflection to support your mind, body, and spirit.
You deserve care that feels peaceful, grounded, and deeply supportive.
Book your Sacred Energy Reset session today and begin your return to calm.
