Why 60 Minutes of Distance Reiki Gives You Time to Truly Relax
Sometimes it takes more than a few minutes to properly switch off.
You might lie down ready to relax, but your mind is still thinking about everything that needs doing, replaying conversations or mentally working through tomorrow’s list.
By the time you begin to settle, part of your relaxation time has already passed. That’s one reason why a 60-minute personal distance Reiki session can feel so lovely. It gives you enough time to arrive, unwind and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.
What is a personal distance Reiki session?
A personal distance Reiki session is focused entirely on you and how you are feeling at the time.
You don’t need to travel anywhere or welcome somebody into your home. Once you have booked, I will contact you personally to arrange a suitable time for your session.
At the agreed time, you can lie down, sit comfortably or simply continue with a quiet activity while I send Reiki to you remotely. There is no phone or video call required unless you would like one.
Some people dim the lights, play relaxing music or get cosy under a blanket. Others prefer to carry on with their evening as normal. There is no right or wrong way to receive Reiki. The session is yours.
Why is 60 minutes a good amount of time?
A full hour gives you space to settle into the session gradually.
Some people relax quickly. Others spend the first part of the session noticing how busy their mind feels or becoming aware of tension they hadn’t realised they were holding.
With a 60-minute session, you don’t need to put pressure on yourself to relax immediately. You have time to get comfortable, allow your thoughts to settle and enjoy having an hour where nothing is expected of you.
People often tell me that the first part of a longer session helps them begin to unwind, while the second part is when they experience a deeper sense of relaxation.
More time without more pressure
One of the nicest things about distance Reiki is that it asks very little of you.
You don’t need to explain everything you are going through. You don’t need to find the right words or keep a conversation going. You can simply take the hour for yourself while I focus the Reiki personally on you.
For people who spend much of their time caring for others, working, managing a home or dealing with a busy mind, having a full hour in which nothing is expected of them can feel incredibly valuable.
It is a chance to pause, slow down and receive.
Is an hour of Reiki better than 30 minutes?
Not necessarily. Both session lengths can be valuable, and the right choice depends on what you need.
A 30-minute session can be ideal when you are short on time, want some focused Reiki support or already find it quite easy to settle.
A 60-minute session may suit you better if:
- You find it difficult to switch your mind off
- You have been feeling particularly stressed or overwhelmed
- You want to set aside some proper time for yourself
- You often need a while to relax
- You would simply like a longer, more immersive session
The main advantage isn’t that you have to do more. It is that you have more time to stop doing.
Why I now offer one-hour Reiki sessions
When my children were younger, I generally offered 30-minute distance Reiki sessions. Realistically, finding a completely uninterrupted hour wasn’t always easy when somebody usually needed me!
Clients would regularly ask whether I could offer a full hour because they wanted longer to relax and enjoy the experience.
Now I am able to provide 60-minute personal sessions, and I understand why people requested them so often. An hour feels like a meaningful amount of time to put aside for yourself. It doesn’t feel hurried or squeezed between everything else.
What might you experience during distance Reiki?
Everyone experiences Reiki differently, and every session can feel different too.
You might notice warmth, tingling, heaviness, lightness or a feeling of calm. You may become very sleepy or drift off. You might notice very little during the session but feel more settled afterwards.
There is no particular sensation you need to experience, and you don’t have to concentrate or try to make anything happen.
After your session, I will contact you with personal feedback about the Reiki and anything I noticed while working with you.
Give yourself a full hour
