Reiki sessions can vary in length depending on the situation. The receiver of Reiki is fully clothed, lying or seated, eyes open or closed. The receiver decides to accept the energy using hands on or above the body (or to receive at a distance when practitioner and client are in different spaces). There are a wide range of potential sensations during a session. Tingling, temperature changes, images are common but many more are subtle and may not be detected. Overall, a Reiki session is a relaxing experience.
