Jikiden Practitioners have learned to sense levels of toxins (byosen) present in the body and to use Reiki intensively to promote detoxification. These in-person sessions may last anywhere from 60 – 90 minutes and are generally concentrated on the head and affected areas. Minor sicknesses, such as coughs and colds, will generally move through the body much faster than usual. Injuries tend to heal faster and with fewer complications, postoperative recovery may be greatly enhanced. Treatment of more serious or long-term conditions is possible. The number and frequency of sessions is determined through consultation with the practitioner.
