Reiki is performed in an area or space that allows for complete and total relaxation, free from outside noises and distractions, often using soothing music to help aid in the relaxation process. It can be received while sitting in a chair or lying in a bed and through casts and bandages. Clothing is never removed.

The Reiki practitioner places his or her hands lightly on or slightly above several areas of the head, upper body, back, and on the arms and legs. The practitioner's hands may also be placed over or on an injured area or an area of pain or discomfort.
