As we are all unique individuals, and we each have our own path towards balance, our individual response to Reiki will vary. Historically, Reiki treatments have sometimes been offered four days in a row initially - a kick-off to the healing process. This is not always feasible. I usually recommend a few sessions spaced close together, and then to broaden them out as time passes. If you learn to practice Reiki yourself, then you can start replacing or augmenting treatments with your own self-treatment.

For people with serious needs, a Reiki intensive can sometimes be a good way to go. This involves getting treatment every day for an extended amount of time (two or three weeks commonly), or getting treatment from a group of practitioners for an entire day.

Ultimately, it is you who will know how much Reiki you want to receive. And it is you who will decided to receive treatments or to learn to do Reiki yourself. All Reiki is good, and some is better than none.
