One of the most fascinating components of Reiki is the often noticed rise in body temperature of both the recipient and practitioner. It is very common for the hands of the Reiki giver to become quite warm and tingly and for the body part of the receiver to become equally as warm. It’s important to remember that as the body is drawing in the energy through the practitioner it is the body itself that begins to respond to Reiki which in turn increases the amount of energy being drawn in.
