Discover What Reiki Energy Feels Like and How It Clears Energy Blocks

Have you ever wondered what Reiki energy actually feels like? Maybe you’ve heard of Reiki healing from a friend, or stumbled across it while searching for natural ways to ease stress, anxiety, or emotional heaviness. Whether you're new to energy healing or already on your spiritual journey, this post will help you understand the powerful, transformative sensations that can arise during a Reiki session, and, more importantly, how Reiki gently clears energy blockages that may be holding you back from feeling your best.

As a Reiki practitioner in Cambridge, I’ve had the privilege of working with many beautiful Souls, both in-person and online, guiding them through deep healing experiences that reach far beyond the physical. Let's explore how Reiki works, what to expect during a Reiki session, and why so many people describe it as a deeply relaxing, emotional, and even life-changing experience.

What Is Reiki Energy

Reiki is an energy healing technique based on the idea that everything in the universe is connected by a life force. When this energy flows freely and is in balance, your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being can thrive.

In a typical Reiki session, a practitioner channels this energy to help restore balance and support your body's natural healing processes.

What Reiki Energy Feels Like

Reiki energy is subtle yet powerful. During a Reiki session, many people report a range of physical and emotional sensations, from tingling or warmth in certain parts of the body to feeling lighter, deeply relaxed, or even emotional. Some clients describe it as a gentle wave of peace, while others feel a sense of being “held” or supported by something greater.

It’s important to know that every experience is unique. Some feel very physical sensations, others feel more emotional, and some simply enter a deep state of calm. Whatever arises is perfect for you in that moment. Reiki always meets you exactly where you are.

One of my wonderful clients, Michelle, shared this review:

“I had the privilege of working with Tatiana and it was such a wonderful and healing experience. Tatiana has an incredible ability to create a safe, nurturing space. After each session, I felt lighter, more centered, clear and peaceful. Tatiana’s calming and healing presence and good energy are really special—she has a gift for helping others restore harmony in their lives. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for more clarity or deep, restorative healing.”

How Reiki Clears Energy Blockages

Reiki healing works on a subtle but profound energetic level. Our bodies are surrounded by an energy field and within us flow channels of life force energy. When this energy flows freely, we feel balanced, healthy, and connected. However, emotional issues, stress, trauma, or physical illness can cause this energy to become blocked, stagnant, or imbalanced.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner channels universal life force energy to gently dissolve these blockages. This energy flows where it’s most needed, restoring balance and harmony to your energy system. As these blockages release, your body and mind can relax deeply, allowing your natural healing abilities to be activated.

Sometimes this clearing process is accompanied by physical sensations like warmth, tingling, or waves of relaxation, which signals that energy is moving and stuck emotions are being released. This flow of healing energy helps you process and let go of old emotional patterns that no longer serve you. However, if you don’t feel any noticeable sensations during a session, that’s absolutely fine too - it doesn’t mean Reiki isn’t working. Energy healing often works quietly and subtly, gently shifting and balancing your system in ways that may not always be immediately felt but are just as powerful.

To support your healing journey, Reiki can be combined with other healing modalities such as guided meditation, crystal healing, or flower essences. These tools gently enhance the clearing of emotional blocks and deepen your sense of calm and well-being.

It’s important to understand that healing is a process. While a single Reiki session can bring immediate relief and clarity, clearing long-ingrained emotional patterns like trauma, childhood issues, or deep-seated stress often requires a series of sessions. Each session helps you gently peel back layers, allowing your body and spirit to realign and restore harmony over time.

Many clients find that with consistent Reiki therapy, they feel lighter, more centered, and better able to navigate life’s challenges with grace and calm.

Preparing for a Reiki Session

Knowing what to expect during a Reiki session can help ease any apprehensions. Normally, during a Reiki session, you’ll start by having a gentle chat with the practitioner. This is your time to share what brought you to the session and what you would like to focus on - whether it’s emotional healing, stress relief, or simply reconnecting with your Inner Self.

Afterwards, you’ll lie down fully clothed in a comfortable, quiet space to receive Reiki. The practitioner will place their hands lightly on or just above your body, facilitating the free flow of healing energy. You can simply relax and allow yourself to be supported in this safe space.

During my Reiki sessions, I always take time at the end to share feedback with you. I explain everything I worked on, what I intuitively picked up during the session, and any energies or emotions that were released. This reflection helps you better understand your healing process and feel more connected to the experience.

Does Reiki Work Online?

Absolutely! And this is something I love helping people experience. While it might seem surprising at first, Reiki healing works beautifully online because energy is not bound by physical space. Just as you can feel someone’s presence through a phone call or video chat, Reiki can be felt powerfully across distance.

Many of my online clients tell me they feel the same shifts, sensations, and emotional release as if we were in the same room. Often, they’re amazed by how “seen” and supported they feel, even from afar.

Whether you’re based locally or living abroad, an online Reiki session can offer deep energetic clearing, emotional balance, and a beautiful reconnection with yourself, all from the comfort of your own home.
