What Does the Person Receiving Reiki Experience?

If the healing involves laying on of hands the recipient usually feels intense heat emanating from the hands of the healer. He is likely to feel powerful relaxation and many often drift off to sleep. In some cases people may also experience light trance states. Some people recall past lives or remember long forgotten experiences that emerge to assist the process of learning, insight and healing so that the recipient can let go of old painful memories and experience freedom from emotional baggage.
