If you’re a Reiki Practitioner who would like to offer Reiki to cancer patients, I’d like to share with you my experience offering Sessions at the Wellness House in Hinsdale, Illinois, for the past three years. The Wellness House is a welcoming center for people living with cancer. It provides many programs to support cancer patients, survivors, and their families, through support groups, workshops, and a variety of classes in exercise, nutrition, meditation, and other wellness topics. I offer Reiki Sessions as part of the Wellness Tune-Up Program. It is such an uplifting experience to see a client, who entered the room full of anxiety and distress, leave with a feeling of calm and lightness.
As a Reiki Practitioner working with cancer patients, there are some things to keep in mind:
Why offer Reiki at a Cancer Center? As noted in a previous post, Reiki recipients experience a decrease in stress and anxiety after a treatment. Their mood improves and they are more relaxed and experience less pain.
Finally, as a Reiki Practitioner, if you plan on working with cancer patients, it is important to be prepared for the questions that you receive after a Session. Often the clients want to know what you have felt and where the energy was being drawn in the strongest. It is important to remember that as a Reiki Practitioner, we do not diagnose. The process is an offering. Therefore, the proper response to these questions is to find out what the recipients experienced. Their experience will be the one that matters in the long run and Reiki is offered for their highest healing good — always.

What is your experience after a Reiki session? Is your mood elevated? Are you more relaxed and less anxious? If you’re a Reiki practitioner is the experience different for you after self-Reiki than when Reiki is offered to you by others? Please share your Reiki experiences in the comments!
Wishing you abundant love and light!
