Helpful at the end of life. Reiki can be a great comfort, helping to promote a sense of peace and acceptance for the dying and their families.

A single session may be sufficient, but it is best to discuss this with your practitioner. If you have long standing emotional or spiritual issues, a series of sessions may be beneficial. In
general, if you find Reiki helpful and positive changes are taking place, it may be a good idea to continue treatment.
Contra-indications
There are no known contra-indications for Reiki. It is a non-intrusive treatment that can be delivered in a variety of settings and requires no special equipment.
"As running water smoothes the jagged edges of a rock until it
is small enough to roll away, Reiki flows to the areas of need, soothing and
supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself."
