REIKI SHANTI - INFORMED CONSENT

REIKI/ENERGY WORK

​

Please note that my Reiki practice is generally a hands on healing practice.

While there is a protocol of hand positions, I also work intuitively as to where to

place my hands and which hands positions to use. My hands will rest on your

body. If, at any time, you are uncomfortable, I can switch positions, or use the

floating hands method. I use a variety of learned techniques, place healing

stones, leverage singing bowls all as a means of creating the right energy environment.

There is no difference in the benefit experienced by the placement of my hands

on your body versus floating my hands over your body. Should you desire to

alternate positions during the treatment, please feel free to ask me to do so.

​

What happens during a Reiki treatment?

During a Reiki treatment, you will lay fully clothed on a massage table, covered

in a blanket if you choose, listening to soothing music. I will lay my hands on

your body in a series of hand positions to deliver Reiki energy. If the reclined

position is uncomfortable, Reiki can be performed while you sit in a chair or on a

stool.

 

What does Reiki feel like?

Reiki tends to feel warm and profoundly relaxing. You may feel my hands

become hot or tingly. Some people describe a floating sensation and some see

colors or shapes during the session. Some people fall asleep. Some experience

emotional release. Reiki treatment is unique for each individual who receives it.

The most common results of Reiki treatment include:

• Perceived reduction in stress

• Increased relaxation

• Enhanced sense of balance, centeredness and calm

• Better overall alignment

 

What are the benefits of several sessions?

Just like meditation or exercise the effects of Reiki are cumulative. While one

session can work wonders, repeated, regular Reiki treatments can invite

significant improvement. As an example: if you exercise for an hour, you will

receive benefit. If you exercise every day for a month, the results will be much

more profound. Reiki works similarly – regular sessions support well-- being in

every way.

​

Can Reiki “cure” me?

Reiki is a complementary medical art that works well alone as well as in concert

with other treatments. Healing is often the result of gentle shifts in awareness,

release of emotional patterns, achievement of new understanding, and daily

practice. Reiki is not a replacement for traditional medical treatment.

I understand that Reiki is a relaxation and stress reduction technique. I

acknowledge that treatments administered are only for the purpose of helping me

relax, relieve stress, and facilitate healing. Reiki practitioners do not diagnose

conditions, nor do they prescribe substances or perform medical treatment, nor

interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional and are not

licensed by the state of North Carolina. I further understand that Reiki treatment

received from Reiki Shanti are not to be construed as a substitute for medical

examination, diagnosis or treatment. It is recommended that I see a licensed

health care professional for any physical ailment I may have.

Having read, completed and understood the foregoing, I request to receive Reiki

treatment. I understand that my practitioner is providing Reiki treatment for me at

my request.
