No prior meditation or Reiki experience is needed, and visualization is not required. You may notice imagery, sensations, emotions, colors, thoughts, deep relaxation, or the ease of simply being present. Wear comfortable clothing and bring anything that helps you feel cozy and supported, such as a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, or an eye covering. This offering is intended to support relaxation, self-reflection, and personal exploration, and it is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
