What does Reiki feel like?
July 30, 2007
Some describe a reiki session as feeling like a sense of peace or contentment coming over you. Others feel tingling, warmth or other sensations. Often a reiki session brings on a release of some kind, coughing, sneezing or even burping, and then a feeling of relief.
What does reiki feel like for you?

I felt peaceful and sleeping during the first session. felt like vomiting afterwards but did not.
The second time felt longer and I did dose off. Felt a tingling sensation a few times. Afterwards felt enlightened but not completely relieved.
Hi Simone,
Yours are pretty typical experiences. Glad you stuck to it after feeling nauseated that first time. Sounds to me like you are interested in doing more reiki work. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
Namaste,

what does it mean when you have a buzzing sound coming through your hands, not all the time, but at times.
It happened while I was placing my hands close to my husbands face.
In fact he said, what is that sound.
I couldn’t hear anything, I only felt the energy coming from both hands.
I also have another question.
When I go to the store I have such electric shocks
from the cart that I am pushing I end up using my
forearm to push instead of my hands.
Does that mean anything or am I just full of shock.
I haven’t heard of this buzzing sound happening before, but that doesn’t prove anything. The first question I have is what level reiki are you? When were you attuned. If the attunement was recent, what you are experiencing may simply be the energy settling into your body. If not, some folks are just naturally sensitive to static electricity. I was even before I became reiki.
Either way, it doesn’t seem harmful. Please keep us up to date on what is going on.
All the best,
Dee
I had reiki for the first time today, intially i felt as though i was spinning round and round really fast, i felt quite unsteady although i was seated, i was worried my feet would slip from under me as such!!! I felt a tingling sensation and “saw” (my eyes were shut!) colours and a few random images sort of popped into my mind.
It was very peaceful and I felt very calm, however i currently feel immensely unsettled is this normal?
thanks emma xxx
Emma,
This sounds perfectly normal. Reiki affects folks in all kinds of different ways. You feel unsettled now because your body is assimilating the new energy. This should pass soon. I hope you continue to enjoy the reiki energy.

I ws attuned to reiki 1 last tues, apart from a few tingling sensations, iv not felt anything at all, im wondering if theres any exercises/practice that i can “feel” the energies more, or do i need to be attuned again? Iv had reiki myself in the past and felt it. But if i dont believe in my own abilities, how am i going to give treatments etc, even on myself? Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you
hi ang,
no, you do not need to be reattuned to reiki. I felt exactly as you do when I got my first attunement. I was certain the little tingles I felt couldn’t be the real thing. BUT THEY ARE! Your connection to reiki will strengthen the more you practice it. Treat yourself with reiki every day. Volunteer to give reiki to anyone who is willing. The more you give reiki, the more comfortable and confident you will become. Please don’t give up on reiki. You are doing fine. Please keep me posted on your progress.
Namaste,
