Reiki is not a religion,it holds no creed or doctrine, Reiki is not a belief system, therefore no mental preparation or direction is needed to give treatment, only a desire to receive and accept the energy.
Reiki can be given at any time in any place, but ideally in a quiet room, without the likelihood of interruptions. The recipient remains fully clothed throughout the session and it is recommended that they close their eyes to relax as much as possible.
Reiki relieves stress and tension, eases the pains of headaches, arthritis and muscular aches and pains. It balances the body as a whole - mentally, emotionally and physically - giving the recipient the strength to take on almost anything they choose.
