What does Reiki actually feel like? We share some Real Life Experiences with Reiki💚
Sometimes Reiki can seem like a strange concept to new people. Energy is an intangible thing, so it can help people to know what they can expect from a Reiki experience. So we asked our Reiki Healing Association Members to shed some light on what they feel when they experience Reiki. The responses were quite beautiful

The truth is the experience of Reiki can vary from person to person, and even from session to session. And there is no right or wrong way to feel or experience Reiki. But people who receive Reiki often report a range of sensations during and after a session.
What do people commonly experience during a Reiki session?
- Sensations of warmth or heat: Many people feel a warm or tingling sensation in the area being treated. This warmth is often attributed to the increased flow of energy.
- Deep relaxation: Reiki is known for promoting a state of deep relaxation. Some recipients feel a profound sense of peace and calm during a session.
- Energy movement: Some people report feeling subtle energy movements, such as tingling, pulsations, or a sense of energy flowing through their body.
- Emotional release: Reiki is believed to help release blocked or stagnant energy, which may lead to emotional releases. Some individuals may experience emotions such as sadness, joy, or even laughter during or after a session.
- Improved well-being: Many people report an overall sense of well-being, reduced stress, and increased energy levels after receiving Reiki.
- Visual experiences: Some individuals may have visual experiences, such as colors or images, during a Reiki session.
It’s important to note that not everyone feels distinct sensations during Reiki, and the effects can be subtle. Additionally, experiences can vary based on the practitioner, the recipient’s openness to the process, and individual sensitivity to energy.
What If I don’t feel anything during a Reiki session?
Not feeling anything during a Reiki session is a common experience, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that the session wasn’t effective or that Reiki isn’t working for you. People have varying levels of sensitivity to energy, and some may not perceive the subtle sensations associated with Reiki right away.
Here are a few reasons why you might not feel anything during a Reiki session:
- Individual Sensitivity: Sensitivity to energy varies from person to person. Some individuals are naturally more attuned to subtle energies, while others may need more time or repeated sessions to develop this sensitivity.
- Expectations: Having specific expectations or trying too hard to feel something can sometimes hinder the experience. Relaxation and an open mind can contribute to a more receptive state.
- Stress or Distractions: If you’re feeling particularly stressed or distracted during a session, it might be challenging to notice subtle sensations. It’s important to find a quiet and comfortable environment to enhance your receptivity.
- Blockages or Imbalances: If there are significant energy blockages or imbalances in your system, it might take some time for the energy to flow freely and for you to notice the effects.
- Receptivity: Reiki works on multiple levels, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Your receptivity to energy healing can vary based on your current state of being and your openness to the process.
If you don’t feel anything during a Reiki session, it doesn’t mean that the session is ineffective. People often report experiencing benefits over time, even if they don’t feel immediate sensations. It’s essential to approach Reiki with an open mind and allow the process to unfold naturally. Additionally, discussing your experience with the Reiki practitioner can provide insights, and they may offer guidance on how to enhance your receptivity to the energy.
