How To Know That Your Energy Is Flowing During Your Reiki Session

Reiki healing is a powerful practice rooted in the flow of universal energy. As a Reiki practitioner, one of the most common questions you might have—especially when you’re just starting—is how to know if energy is flowing during a session. Whether you’re working with a client or practicing self-Reiki, recognizing the signs of energy flow can boost your confidence and deepen your connection to the practice.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the various ways to identify the flow of energy during a Reiki session and offer tips to enhance your sensitivity to this vital force.

How to know if the energy is flowing during the reiki session

1. Feeling Physical Sensations in Your Hands

One of the most immediate and noticeable signs of energy flow in Reiki is the sensations in your hands. Practitioners often report:

  • Warmth or heat
  • Tingling or buzzing
  • Pulsing or a sense of movement

These sensations typically occur when your hands are placed on or near the recipient’s body and indicate that the universal energy is moving through you.

2. Experiencing Intuitive Insights

As you deepen your practice, you may notice intuitive messages or sensations guiding your session. This could include visualizing colors, sensing blockages, or feeling drawn to specific areas of the body. These insights often align with the recipient’s energy needs and confirm the flow of Reiki energy.


3. Changes in the Client’s Body or Breathing

During a Reiki session, recipients often display signs of relaxation, such as:

  • Deeper or slower breathing
  • Muscle twitches or shifts in posture
  • Feeling warmth or tingling in certain areas

These physical responses suggest that energy is flowing and that the recipient’s body is responding to the healing process.


4. Emotional Shifts or Releases

Energy flow is not just physical—it’s deeply emotional and spiritual. You or your client may experience feelings of peace, joy, or even emotional release, such as tears. These emotional shifts indicate that energy is moving and helping to clear blockages.


5. Feeling Energized or Grounded Post-Session

After a successful Reiki session, you should feel energized, grounded, and peaceful. If you feel drained, it might mean you’re trying to use your own energy rather than acting as a channel for universal energy. Practicing self-Reiki and grounding exercises can help recalibrate your energy flow.


6. The Flow of Time Feels Altered

Many practitioners and recipients report a sense of losing track of time during a Reiki session. This altered perception is a strong indicator that you’re in tune with the universal energy, and the session is flowing as it should.


7. Your Client Feels the Energy

Your client may share their experience of energy flow, such as warmth, tingling, or relaxation, without you prompting them. These shared sensations often confirm that energy is being transmitted effectively.


Tips for Enhancing Energy Flow During Reiki Sessions

  1. Practice Grounding and Centering: Before each session, take time to ground yourself through meditation or breathing exercises.
  2. Set Clear Intentions: Intend to channel universal energy, not your own. Trust that the energy will flow to where it’s needed.
  3. Use Reiki Symbols: If you’ve learned the Reiki symbols, incorporating them can enhance the energy flow and focus of your session.
  4. Maintain a Calm and Receptive State: Stay relaxed and open to the flow of energy. Any stress or doubt can create resistance.
  5. Practice Regularly: The more you practice, the more attuned you’ll become to the subtle signs of energy flow.
