What to expect in a Reiki Session. Reiki Dublin.

A lot of clients in Dublin come to my healing rooms at Indigo 9 Healing because they’re feeling “burnout.” They’ve heard about Reiki and know it’s about energy, but some still wonder, “What actually happens during a session?” If you’re a bit skeptical or just nervous about trying something new, this guide is for you.

1. The Environment: A peaceful sanctuary in the city.

As soon as you walk in, the aim is to help you “decompress.” Unlike the busy streets outside, a Reiki session brings calm and stillness. You stay fully clothed, lying comfortably on a massage table, with soft lighting and relaxing holistic music filling the room.

2. The Physical Sensations

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive technique that can be “hands-on” or “hands-off,” depending on what you prefer. Everyone’s experience is different, but most people notice one or more of these:

> Heat: You might feel warmth where my hands are placed.

> Tingling: A light pins-and-needles feeling as energy blockages start to shift.

> Deep Relaxation: The “Reiki Sleep,” a state between being awake and asleep where the deepest healing happens.

3. The Emotional Release

It’s totally normal—and quite common—to feel an emotional release. Some people feel pressure followed by relief, while others might get a bit teary as their body lets go of built-up stress. This doesn’t happen every time, as each person’s experience is unique. I always create a safe, non-judgmental space for whatever comes up during the session.

4. After the Session: The “Reiki Glow”

Most people leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more centered.
