Reiki treatment is usually given  in a peaceful, private setting. However, the treatment can take place anywhere or by distance dealing. During an in person session, the client will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed.The practitioner will then place their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the client’s head, limbs, and torso. They will typically keep their hands in these positions for 3–10 minutes.If there is a particular injury, such as a burn, the practitioner will hold their hands just above the wound. While the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, an energy transfer takes place.. They will hold each hand position until they sense that the energy has stopped flowing and move to a different body area. Crystals may be used to enhance the healing process as well or to work with certain chakras.
