Reiki Treatments
There are two main types of Reiki treatment 

1. Treatment with client present

2. Distant treatment with client not present

Treatment with Client Present

This is sometimes referred to as "hands on treatment" and is normally carried out with
the person (client) laying down comfortably on a treatment table or some suitable location or alternatively sitting comfortably in a chair. The client remains fully clothed and can be
covered with a light blanket to maintain warmth if required.

Initially the practitioner should explain a little about Reiki to the client and tell them what sort of feelings they may or may not experience. The clients permission should be sought before starting the treatment and it is suggested that they drink extra liquid for a while after the treatment as they may be a little dehydrated.

A treatment can take from 45 minutes to an hour or more and you will find that the time spent with each client may vary. There are a number of hand positions used during a treatment and  normally a time of 3 to 5 minutes would be spent on each position.

Although referred to as "hands on" it is not necessary to put your hands on the client and many practitioners work above the client's body without actually touching them. My personal preference is to work in the aura around 10" or so above the clients body and many clients prefer this method.

There are several different ways of carrying out a treatment and each practitioner would
(or should) develop the method that works best for them and they feel  most comfortable with.

As I am not one for trying to re-invent the wheel and as there are many 'Reiki' websites
to be found with information on the different ways of carrying out a treatment and the various types of Reiki such as Usui Shiki Ryoho, Shamballa, Karuna, Kundalini, Rainbow, Angelic, Tummo and Seichim to name a few I won't be elaborating on them in this article.

Treatment with client not present.

This again can be done in several different ways and intent is very important as it is in all Reiki treatments. You should have the persons name and location and a brief idea of the problem 'distant healing' is required. It would also be preferable if a suitable time when the person can sit or lay quietly and relaxed can be arranged.
To send distant healing you can: visualise the person (if you know them), use a photograph
or a proxy, visualise a miniature  person between your hands or you can simply write the persons details on a peice of paper and ask to send healing to that person.  A normal distant healing would take a round 15 to 20minutes whilst you sit quietly and focus your intent on channeling Reiki to that person. If there are several persons/clients requiring distant healing you can write their deatails on a sheet of paper and using your intent you ask to channel Reiki to all on the list.
