Maybe a friend mentioned it. Maybe you’ve tried massages, vacations, and long weekends, and you’re still tired in a way sleep doesn’t fix. So you’ve searched “reiki near me,” and now you’re wondering what actually happens, and whether it’s for someone like you.
This guide walks through your first Reiki healing session: what you’ll do, how it may feel, what it costs, and how to join from wherever you are.
What happens in a Reiki healing session?
A Reiki healing session is a private, 60-minute session where you lie down fully clothed and rest while a practitioner works with light touch or no touch at all. At Sphaera Lucis, it costs ₱3,288 for a 60-minute reiki session and you can have your session in our Makati studio or online via Google Meet. Most people simply feel deeply relaxed.
The hour usually goes like this:
- You arrive, we talk about your current life situation, how you’re feeling, or anything that’s taking up space in your mind and heart.
- Your lie back on a comfortable bed, keeping your clothes on. We start with a few rounds of relaxing breathing, then a gentle sweep of your energy field so you can begin to unwind.
- We check your energy centers (chakras) and choose crystals for what you need that day.
- You rest while Reiki, crystals, and the soft sound of tuning forks help your body and mind settle. You don’t need to do anything.
- We close slowly, talk through anything that came up, and share a few simple ways to stay grounded.
There’s nothing to prepare and nothing you need to believe, just the openness to experience however way the session unfolds for you.
What does Reiki feel like?
Everyone’s experience is a little different. Our clients commonly describe experiencing:
- warmth, coolness, or a gentle tingling
- a heavy, sinking kind of relaxation, as if the bed is holding you
- emotions rising and passing, sometimes with a few tears
- falling asleep, which is completely fine
- feeling very little in the moment, then sleeping better or feeling calmer over the next few days
One client, Soumik B., put it this way: “It started with a tingling sensation in my body and then gradually I was in deep sleep. After the session I felt very relaxed and light.”
Afterward, people often say they feel lighter, more grounded, or more like themselves.
How much does a Reiki session cost in the Philippines?
Reiki healing session costs in the Philippines vary with the practitioner’s experience, the length of the session, and what’s included. At Sphaera Lucis, the 60-minute Energy Wellness Session is ₱3,288 in the studio or online, and it includes Reiki, crystals, tuning forks, and a chakra check. If you’d like regular support through a stressful season, there are packages of 3 or 5 sessions. If you’d also like a tarot reading to talk through what’s on your mind, the 90-minute Calm & Clarity session is ₱3,488.
When you compare prices elsewhere, look at how long the session is, whether it’s private, and who’s leading it.
Is there Reiki near me?
Our studio is at the GF, The Grid Co-Living, Yakal Street, Barangay San Antonio, Makati City. It’s a quiet, private space with a restorative bed and soft light, and nobody rushes you.
Clients come from all over Metro Manila: Quezon City, Pasig, Mandaluyong, BGC, Manila, San Juan, Parañaque, and Alabang. Many book a weekday evening or a weekend slot so they can come straight from work or make a quiet afternoon of it.
If you live further away, are short on time, or would rather stay home, you can have your Reiki session online. Distance Reiki follows the same steps as a studio session while you lie down somewhere comfortable at home and we stay connected on Google Meet. Clients join from across the Philippines and from abroad, so wherever you’re searching from, there’s Reiki near you.
How to choose a Reiki healer or Practitioner
Reiki is a personal experience, so choose someone you feel safe with. Ask where they trained and which tradition they follow. Usui Shiki Ryoho is the Japanese system most Reiki lineages come from, and a Reiki Master-Teacher has completed every level of training and can teach others.
Read their Google reviews and testimonials, and look for people who describe feeling safe, listened to, and cared for. The space should feel clean, calm, and private, whether you’re in a studio or on a video call. A good Reiki healer will never promise to cure an illness, and will encourage you to keep seeing your doctor.
Your session at Sphaera Lucis is with Aileen Javier, a Reiki Master-Teacher in Usui Shiki Ryoho and Angelic Reiki and a Certified Advanced Crystal Practitioner. She has offered Reiki sessions since 2020.
Frequently asked questions
Is Reiki the same as massage?
No. Reiki is a light-touch or no-touch practice. You stay fully clothed, and there’s no pressure, kneading, or oil. Massage works on the muscles, while Reiki therapy helps your whole body, mind, and heart relax and settle. Many people enjoy both.
Do I need to believe in it?
No. Some of our clients come in curious or even skeptical. You rest and notice how you feel during the session and over the following days.
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on what you’re going through. Some people come once when they need a reset. If you’re in a stressful season, weekly sessions for a few weeks are a good start. To stay balanced, once or twice a month is usually enough.
Can I go online if I’m outside Metro Manila?
Yes. Online sessions run on Google Meet and follow the same steps as a studio session. You need a quiet place to lie down and a stable internet connection. Clients join from the provinces and from abroad.
