What do I do after my Reiki session?

Following a Reiki session, it's essential to nurture your mind, body, and spirit to fully integrate the energy shift. Take these steps to enhance and prolong the positive effects of your session.

Hydrate and Nourish

After any energy work, it's crucial to drink plenty of water to help flush your system and maintain hydration. Step it up a notch, and treat yourself to a high quality coconut water for an extra boost. Additionally, consider nourishing your body with wholesome foods such as fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Eating mindfully can further support the energetic shifts initiated during the session.

Practice Mindfulness

Engage in mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing, or gentle yoga to continue fostering a state of relaxation and inner peace. These practices can help you stay grounded and connected to the healing energies experienced during the reiki session.

Journaling

Take some time to reflect on your experience by journaling your thoughts, feelings, and any insights that arose during the session. If you participated in a Reiki and Guidance session at the Holistic Loft, writing about the guidance you received can be a powerful tool for processing emotions and gaining clarity on areas of your life that may need attention or healing.

Rest and Relaxation

Allow yourself the luxury of rest and relaxation following your Reiki session. Take a warm bath, indulge in a soothing cup of herbal tea, or curl up with a good book. Giving yourself permission to rest can facilitate the integration of the healing energies and promote overall well-being.

Connect with Nature

If you have the time and inclination, spending time outdoors in nature can further amplify the benefits of your Reiki session. Take a leisurely walk in the park, sit by a body of water, or simply bask in the warmth of the sun, in tune with the healing energy surrounding you. Nature has a way of replenishing our energy and restoring balance to both body and soul.

Honor Your Emotions

Allow yourself to feel whatever emotions may arise following your Reiki session without judgment. Whether it's joy, sadness, or anything in between, honor your emotional experience and give yourself the space to process and release any energetic blockages.

Follow-Up Sessions

Schedule your follow-up Reiki session to maintain and deepen your healing journey over time. Consistency is key when it comes to energy work, and ongoing sessions can provide continued support for your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Based on your goals and current state, we at The Holistic Loft can advise you on a cadence of sessions most suited to you and your journey. 


Implementing a post-reiki routine can help maximize the benefits of your healing session and support your ongoing journey towards holistic wellness. By nurturing your mind, body, and spirit in the aftermath of a reiki session, you can amplify its positive effects and cultivate lasting transformation in your life.
