Reiki sessions with Aura Sweeping

Do you practice Reiki? Do you finish (and begin)

your Reiki sessions with Aura Sweeping? Well if
not, you’ve got to try it! (If you already do, then
yay! And tell me about your experiences in the
comments below.)
You can do it both before a Reiki session and
after. When you do it before a session, it’s sort
of comparable to wetting your hair before you
wash it. And when you do it at the end of a
Reiki session, It’s sort of akin to rinsing your
hair after shampooing. And you know from
experience that these things give you way
better results and fluffier hair!
Well, who wouldn’t want way better results
from their Reiki sessions? And way fluffier
clients! Wait, that last part doesn’t’ sound
right…
Sweeping Your Client’s Aura
Before a Reiki Session
Before you start to give Reiki, you’re going to want to
prep your client’s aura for the energy healing that is
about to occur. You can do this with Aura Sweeping,
which is exactly what it sounds like. It involves you
sweeping your hands through your client’s aura or
energy field. It takes about a minute to do and can
 make a world of difference in the effectiveness of
your Reiki treatments.

When to Sweep Your Client’s

Aura
I do this after setting my intention and right before
the laying on of hands. I also do this at the beginning
of distance Reiki sessions in which I use a surrogate
for sending the healing.

What Does Aura Sweeping Do?

 This process removes any superficial energy
build-ups.
 These are bits of negative energy that are
just sort of hanging out in your client’s energy field.
 By removing them now, you stop them
from adhering to your client’s energy field and
causing problems down the line.
 And by getting rid of them before you
begin the session, you don’t waste any of your session
time or Reiki’s focus dealing with them.
 It also brings harmony to your client’s aura,
starting to bring in a lovely soothing and balancing
energy.
 Important: It helps to form a positive rapport
between your client and you.
 In does this in three ways:
 By getting both of you energetically in
sync.
 By getting you tapped into their energy
field.
 And by helping your client to feel more
at ease with you, their practitioner.
 Preparing your client’s aura with aura sweeping
also gives you an extra opportunity to feel their
energy field and start to discover any spots that are
going to need a little extra Reiki. So pay attention to
your hands when you’re doing the preliminary aura
sweep. Use your intuition and sense for any possible
blockages or hot spots to that you’re going to want to
focus on during the Reiki session.

Sweeping the aura is just one of

those things that I love so much
that it feels incomplete to do a
treatment without it.
How to Sweep Your Client’s
Aura Before a Session
 Run your hands in your client’s aura about six
inches above their body.
 I prefer to keep my hands in the standard
Reiki pose, i.e. ever so gently cupped with finger held
together. But I have seen people do this with their
fingers spread wide, kind of like they’re raking their
client’s aura.
 Move from their head right down to their feet in a
slow, smooth motion.
 Repeat this process at least three times. You can
do it more if you feel that it’s needed. Use your Reiki-
senses (sort of like spidey-senses, but way better) to
determine this.
Now you would go forward with doing whatever your
version of a full Reiki-treatment is, whether that’s
 standard hand positions, intuitively guided or a
combo.

Finishing Up the Reiki Session

with a Final Aura Sweep
I always complete the treatment by sweeping my
client’s aura. I don’t generally like the word “always.”
While I like to provide clear steps here as a great
Reiki practice foundation for my readers, I don’t
actually like rules. I think it’s great to learn the rules,
because then you gain the knowledge, and ideally the
wisdom and intuition, that you need to let you know
when it’s okay to just throw the rules out the
window. Sweeping the aura is one of those things that
I have learned that I love so much that it feels
incomplete to do a treatment without it.

Why Sweep Your Client’s Aura?

And what’s not to love? Finishing up with aura
sweeping removes energetic debris that may have
been released during the session. It’s like you’re
giving the client an energetic clean slate. Doing the
Reiki session loosened all sorts of un-harmonious
“junk” and now you get to fling it away from your
client. What a gift!

How to Sweep Your Client’s

Aura
 Sweep your client’s aura with your hands held a
few inches above their body.
 Move from over their crown chakra to down to
their feet.
 Make sure continue past their feet.
 Now flick the energy away from both of you.
 You can either use one long motion or series of
smaller strokes to sweep the aura.
 Repeat this sweeping process a total of three
times.

Be sure to add some intention

for some extra oomph:
 While you’re doing this, visualize any negativity
that you are removing being transmuted into light.
 If you’d like to, you can visualize a violet
flame on the floor just past the end of the Reiki table.
 You can send the energetic debris that you
are sweeping off of your client and right into the
flame.
 Know that as you do so, it is instantly
transmuted.
 Can also speak the following intention (silently to
yourself): “I ask that any energetic debris that I
remove be sent to the light, for the good of All. And so
it is. Thank you.”
That’s it! Now you’d move on to sealing the session
and giving thanks.
Thanks so much for reading. I hope you’ve found some
useful tips here. If you haven’t been sweeping your
clients’ auras be sure to try it out and see if you feel a
difference. Come back and tell me all about it in the
comments below.
Have you already tried out these methods? How’d it
go? I’d love to hear about it!
So Reiki ON, my dear Reiki friends!
Wishing you successful Reiki sessions and many Reiki
blessings,
