The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from practitioner is a very simple process. The recipient simply live on a Reiki table (plinth) and if they are not able to lie down the treatment can be given in a sitting position.
The main concern for the recipient is to be as comfortable as possible and there is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through anything.
The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the entire body.
The person is treated rather than specific symptoms and the person giving the treatment does not diagnose or try to control what happens.
