Tips & Warnings










It is important with Reiki that you allow it to work and only to guide it to its purpose on which you are using it.








Some positions may be uncomfortable for you or your client, find another way to place the hands if this is evident.








Some clients may have an emotional release and start crying or laughing uncontrollably. They may even start confessing feelings to you. It is important that you have no reaction aside from support and acceptance to make the client feel safe.
