Hypno-Reiki Sessions: What To Expect
Hello love,
How Hypno-Reiki Sessions Work: What To Expect
A Typical Session Structure
During a hypnoReiki session, the healer will typically guide you into a relaxed state using a hypnotic technique called an induction. This is to get you into a peaceful trance state where you will feel completely at ease and comfortable.
Phase 1: Hypnotic Induction
Letting go and finding yourself present in the moment, the hypnotist may use techniques such as:
Deep breathing exercises to activate your parasympathetic nervous system
Progressive muscle relaxation to release physical tension
Visualization to guide your mind into a receptive state
Positive affirmations to begin reprogramming limiting beliefs
Countdown techniques to deepen your trance state
You'll remain fully aware and in control throughout the session. Hypnosis is not sleep. It's a focused state of heightened awareness where you can hear everything and allow in suggestions that are for your highest good.
Phase 2: Reiki Energy Healing and Hypnosis
Life force energy is then channeled through a Reiki practitioner. This may be a second person present for your session or someone who practices both Reiki and hypnotherapy/hypnosis. Your healer may touch you with their hands or send the energy to you without touch, like a radio wave.
Reiki energy may be felt by you as:
Physical sensations: Warmth, tingling, pulsing, or waves of energy moving through your body
Emotional releases: Spontaneous tears, laughter, or waves of emotion as stuck feelings surface and clear
Visual experiences: Colors, lights, or symbolic imagery appearing in your mind's eye
Deep peace: A profound sense of safety, relaxation, and connection
Nothing at all: Some people don't feel sensations but still receive benefits (energy works whether you feel it or not)
The Reiki healer will channel energy to facilitate healing on different layers of your body's energy field, often working with your seven main chakras (energy centers) and addressing any blockages or imbalances detected. Simultaneously you will be verbally guided through the subconscious work. Balancing the chakras verbally or letting go of what arrises. You will be empowered and intuitively guided through the session that is a co-creation between you, your higher-self, and the healer.
Phase 3: Integration and Awakening
Your practitioner will gently guide you back to full waking consciousness, often incorporating:
Post-hypnotic suggestions for continued healing and positive change
Grounding techniques to help you feel centered and present
Gentle awakening at your own pace, ensuring you feel refreshed and alert
After Your Session
It's normal to feel:
Deeply relaxed and peaceful
Slightly spacey or "floaty" (this will pass)
Energized or sleepy (everyone responds differently)
Emotionally lighter or more clear
Thirsty (drink plenty of water)
Who Can Benefit?
This integrated approach can address a wide range of physical and emotional issues, including:
Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm
Chronic pain and tension
Trauma and PTSD
Grief and loss
Low self-esteem and limiting beliefs
Sleep disturbances
Creative blocks
Life transitions and uncertainty
Spiritual disconnection
Working on both the conscious and subconscious levels simultaneously, hypno-reiki can help you uncover and release deeply rooted patterns that have been keeping you stuck.
Finding A Qualified HypnoReiki Practitioner
When seeking a hypno-Reiki practitioner, look for someone who:
Is certified in both modalities (hypnotherapy/hypnosis and Reiki)
Has substantial training (not just weekend certifications)
Practices ethical guidelines and maintains professional boundaries
Creates a safe, comfortable environment for deep work
Explains their process clearly and answers your questions
Has testimonials or reviews from previous clients
Resonates with you energetically. Trust your intuition!
What To Ask Before Booking
What is your training background in both hypnosis and Reiki?
How long have you been practicing hypno-Reiki?
What can I expect during a session?
How many sessions do you typically recommend?
Do you offer in-person, distance, or both types of sessions?
Self-Practice: Bringing HypnoReiki Into Your Daily Life
In addition to workin with a practitioner, you can incorporate elements of hypno-Reiki into your life through self-hypnosis and self energy work.
Morning Hypno-Reiki Meditation (10 minutes)
Set your intention for the day
Use self-hypnosis through guided meditation or breathwork to enter a relaxed state
Place your hands on your heart, solar plexus, or any area calling for attention
Set the intention for Reiki energy to flow (or simply for healing energy if you're not attuned)
Visualize golden or white light flowing through your hands into your body
Repeat affirmations that support your goals and wellbeing
Gradually return to full awareness, feeling refreshed and aligned
Evening Release Practice (5-10 minutes)
Set your intention for your sleep
Use self-hypnosis to release the day's stress while channeling Reiki energy to your body, particularly focusing on areas of tension. Lay down in practice as you are ready to drift off to sleep. You may follow the above practice and intend more calming and relaxing visuals, affirmations, etc. This can dramatically improve sleep quality and emotional processing.
