Your First Visit

Preparation & Expectations
 
     Chiyu Center offers exceptional care.  Our furnishings are beautiful, nourishing, and relaxing.  Our rooms are filled with healthy plants and healing artwork both local and from as far away as Bhutan.  Your Reiki treatment will be conducted on a soft and supportive massage table in a comfortable, private treatment room.  We offer our clients clean sheets, warm towels, and transformatively healing music.  We are honored and glad to provide excellent and powerfully healing care!     
  
 
      Here are some things you can do to help create your optimal experience:
  • Plan so you can arrive on time.  Allow a little extra travel time if your appointment will require you to drive in rush hour traffic.  Please be respectful of other's time and space and do your best to arrive no more than 5 - 10 minutes early or late.  If you arrive early, feel free to let yourself in and rest in the downstairs general area and waiting room.  (Your practitioner will come down to get you when ready.)  If you are running late, a phone call would be great!
  • Dress comfortably - you will remain fully clothed throughout the session. Bathe or shower either the morning of or immediately before your session, if possible.  Do not apply scented lotions or perfumes (energy work tends to magnify odors). 

 

What to Expect Before, During, and After a Reiki Session
 
     When you arrive, we will conduct a brief health intake where we discuss your current health and wellness goals and all of your health concerns.  Please be prepared to pay before your session.  If you pay at Chiyu Center, we can accept cash or check.  If you wish to pay via credit card, you may pay online at Chiyu Center's online store or via Paypal prior to your session (just ask us to email you an invoice).  
 
     During the session, your practitioner will place his or her hands directly above and lightly touching you, and will move through several hand positions over your front and back.  Reiki energy sessions do not include massage.  You may feel warmth or a light pulsation. You may see colors, experience mild twitching, feel energies moving and a physical shifting within you, and feel releases of blockages.  You may also simply fall asleep.  Experiences vary between clients and no two sessions are ever alike -- even for experienced clients.  Most repeat clients grow increasingly conscious of what is happening during the treatments as they progress in health.
 
     Reiki is very gentle, safe, and relaxing.  After the treatment, you may feel very joyful and invigorated or you may feel very peaceful and a need to sleep (during sleep is when our bodies do the physical work of healing).  You will notice less tension in your body and your mind will be clearer.  You will likely experience a profoundly deep sleep the night of your treatment.  Positive changes from one treatment can last days, weeks, months, or years, depending on the condition and the individual client.    Our intention is to heal the energetic pattern underlying the immediate condition and set the foundation for a new, healthier, and more enjoyable life.
