Reiki Session (15-20 minutes):
- Begin by centering yourself and setting an intention to relieve headache pain.
- Gently place your hands on or slightly above the participant’s head, focusing on the areas where they feel the headache (often the temples, forehead, or back of the head).

Guided Meditation (10-15 minutes):
- Start by describing a serene, natural setting, perhaps a meadow or a gentle forest.
- Introduce the imagery of a cool, gentle breeze softly blowing through this space.
- Encourage participants to visualize this breeze passing over their head, gently caressing the areas where they feel the headache.
- With each touch of the breeze, imagine the headache pain diminishing, as if being carried away by the wind.
- Guide them to focus on the sensation of relief and coolness as the breeze continues to flow over their head, soothing and alleviating the headache.
- Encourage deep, relaxing breaths in sync with the rhythm of the gentle breeze.
Closing (2-3 minutes):

Post-Session Notes:
- Advise participants to stay hydrated and avoid any immediate strenuous activity.
