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).

- Visualize the Reiki energy as a soothing, healing light, targeting the areas of discomfort in the head.
Transition to Guided Meditation (1-2 minutes):

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):

- Invite them to take a few more deep breaths, gently moving their head or neck if they feel comfortable.

Post-Session Notes:
- Advise participants to stay hydrated and avoid any immediate strenuous activity.
- Suggest they rest in a quiet, darkened room if the headache persists.
- Remind them they can use the visualization of the cool breeze as a tool to manage headache symptoms whenever they arise.
This script is designed to provide a calming and relieving experience for those suffering from headaches, blending the healing touch of Reiki with the power of visualization. It’s important to tailor the session to the individual’s needs and remind them that while Reiki and meditation can help in headache management, they should consult healthcare professionals for persistent or severe headaches.
