Common replies I hear when I tell a client that their Reiki or massage treatment is over:
“That went by so fast!”
“The shortest hour ever!”
“Already?”
And my all-time favorite?
“Nooooooo!”
It’s not that I’m cutting sessions short; truly an hour has passed, but it often doesn’t seem that way because in a relaxed state, time isn’t linear.
Many people experience altered consciousness during a session. Not quite asleep, not quite awake, someplace in between.
I suspect some enter a delta or theta brainwave state. This is the zone where deep healing happens.
In the in-between, minutes don’t matter, nor do they tick by in the way we usually experience them.
I’m usually in a flow state while providing sessions, so I have to keep an eye on the clock because time is different for me too.
Time might be relative in the treatment room, but that doesn’t make it any less valuable. Please believe me when I say that nobody is playing tricks with the clock!
You get the full benefits of a session, even if you’re asleep or in-between. Maybe even more as the healing can bypass any resistance from the conscious mind.
Time might be relative in the treatment room, but I can say with 100% certainty that when that happens, so does healing.
