Before being initiated into Reiki by me, it is nice if you have received a Reiki treatment. This way, you already get acquainted with the Reiki energy. Also if it has been a long time since you received a Reiki treatment, I advise you to first make an appointment for a Reiki treatment.
On the day of the initiation and the following days, it is better not to consume alcohol or drugs. If you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, unfortunately, you cannot receive a Reiki initiation. However, you can still receive a Reiki treatment!
