Top 7 Ways to Get the Most Out of a Reiki Session

What People Get Wrong About Reiki (and What Reiki Fusion Really Is)

What comes to mind when you think about a Reiki session?

A little too “woo”?

Just lying there while someone waves their hands around?
 Maybe even a glorified nap?

You wouldn’t be alone, those are the most common assumptions I hear (yes, I am talking about my husband). Reiki can feel incredibly restful. Some clients say it’s the deepest rest they’ve had in months. But my Reiki Fusion sessions are not just about zoning out.

It’s about turning on.

When your body relaxes, your nervous system shifts out of survival mode. When your mind softens, your subconscious starts to speak. That’s why I pair Reiki with hypnosis and subconscious reprogramming: while you’re cocooned in rest, your inner stories are quietly being rewritten.

Think of it less like “hocus pocus” and more like hitting the reset button for your entire system body, mind, and soul.

Let’s talk about the top 7 ways you’ll get the most out of a Reiki Fusion session, and why this experience can transform not only your personal well-being, but also your creativity, intimate relationships, and even your business.

1: Set a Clear Intention

Reiki Fusion always begins with your why. Do you want more calm? More clarity? More confidence? The clearer your intention, the deeper the session can land. Some clients come in wide open, ready to receive whatever messages surface and that’s beautiful too. But if you’re wrestling with something specific, intention gives us a powerful doorway in.

Maybe you’re feeling resistance with a difficult client at work, or you’re training for a marathon but can’t seem to move past two training runs a week. Perhaps you’re longing for intimacy with your partner but can’t quiet the inner chatter. Whatever the focus, we bring it into the session.

Think of intention like programming the GPS before a road trip: you’ll always arrive somewhere, but when you set the destination, your soul knows exactly where it’s steering you. Intention-setting amplifies everything: business strategy, relationship clarity, creative breakthroughs, and your capacity for lasting satisfaction.

2: Trust the Oracle

Once we set your intention, I pull an oracle card. The card isn’t fortune-telling, it’s a mirror. The meaning of the card is not handed to you; it’s something you co-create with your own intuition. This is the magic: when you interpret the imagery, your subconscious begins weaving connections and uncovering truths you may not have seen before.

When we carry the card into the hypnosis portion of the session, it often reveals layers you didn’t realize you were holding. One client, for instance, was wrestling with fear of change. The symbol on her card reminded her that change wasn’t about losing what she loved, it was about making room for more.

Think of the oracle card as your subconscious whispering through symbols, handing you breadcrumbs to follow. It opens your heart and mind, creating alignment in your work, your relationships, and your own sense of satisfaction.

3: Let Your Body Rest, Your Mind Rewire

There’s a beautiful alchemy when Reiki and hypnosis come together. Reiki is an ancient practice of channeling energy to support balance and healing. Because energy isn’t confined by distance, Reiki can be done in person or remotely; you don’t need to be in the same room for your system to receive its effects. We all tune into energy every day: the warmth you feel when someone you love walks into a room with joy, or the tension when someone is carrying stress. Reiki practitioners are simply trained to notice and direct this energy with more intention.

During a Reiki Fusion session, gentle music creates a cocoon while your body rests deeply. As your body softens, your subconscious becomes more open and pliable. This part of your mind quietly runs your habits, memories, and beliefs and in this relaxed state, it can finally be rewired. It’s like slipping into a hammock, but while you nap, your inner code is being updated.

The impact is profound: clients often leave with clarity in their work, deeper presence with loved ones, and a sense of creative flow they hadn’t felt in months.

4: Don’t Overthink; Allow the Experience

A common question I hear is: “Am I doing this right?” I felt this fear all the time when I first experienced hypnosis. The answer: you can’t do this wrong. Even if you fall asleep, your unconscious mind is still listening.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and you’re always in control. What we’re really doing is letting your conscious mind soften, so your deeper wisdom can come forward. Sometimes it shows up in images, sometimes in sensations, sometimes in words. And often, it feels like you’re just making it up because your unconscious mind speaks in whispers, not in straight lines. I narrate a story and your unconscious mind plays with my words to create a unique & personal experience for yourself.

You may feel an urge to edit or dismiss what arises. But your unconscious mind always answers first, and it always answers honestly. That’s why Reiki Fusion is so powerful: the gentler you allow the process to be, the more clearly your deeper wisdom can come through.

Your only job? Allow.

5: Notice What Comes Up Afterward

The session itself is just the beginning. Afterward, the insights continue to ripple. Clients often notice synchronicities, dreams, or unexpected clarity in the days that follow.

Your unconscious mind doesn’t stop working when the session ends. It keeps integrating, showing you breadcrumbs in non-verbal ways like a symbol, a sudden nudge of intuition, a conversation that lands differently. Pay attention to these subtler signs. They’re not random; they’re your deeper wisdom continuing to speak.

One client noticed that after her session, a single phrase kept echoing in her head during meetings. That phrase became the key to shifting how she led her team. Another client had repeat body sensation, which she realized symbolized a need for nervous system support.

 Integration isn’t about forcing meaning. It’s about noticing, allowing, and letting the messages of your unconscious mind unfold in real life.

6: Share and Reflect 

After the Reiki Fusion session, we take time to reflect on what came through. This isn’t about analyzing or “getting it right.” It’s about exploring what came to mind and where your intuition and imagination took you during your experience.

Sometimes, clients say: “I saw X and I think it means Y, but I don’t know if I just made that up.” My response: awesome. That’s how your unconscious mind works. It never shouts, it never lays out a straight, logical line. It’s subtle. Non-linear. Honest in ways your conscious mind often edits.

In our conversation, we’ll connect the dots together. Maybe a memory surfaced that ties into the intention you set. Maybe an image arrived that points toward a new creative project. Maybe your body simply felt safe for the first time in a while. All of it matters.

Reflection is how you anchor the experience so it doesn’t fade it becomes part of how you move through the world.

7: Commit to Your Satisfaction 

One Reiki Fusion session can feel like a revelation, but lasting change comes from deepening the practice. Each session allows your unconscious mind to soften a little more, to reveal more breadcrumbs, to rewrite the stories you’ve carried.

Think of it like tending a garden: one rainstorm nourishes the soil, but consistent watering brings the bloom. Reiki Fusion is how you keep choosing satisfaction again and again.

The more you show up, the more your unconscious mind trusts the process, and the more profound the insights become. Business strategy becomes clearer. Intimate conversations feel easier. Creative ideas flow without forcing.

Satisfaction isn’t an accident. It’s cultivated. And Reiki Fusion is one of the gentlest, most magical ways to practice choosing yourself.
