To give a sleep-focused Reiki session to a friend or family member, ask the recipient to lie down while you position yourself near their head. Imagine a steady stream of healing light going from your hands into the back of their head and clearing the mind of any pain or discomfort experienced that day.

Ask your loved one to take several rounds of deep breaths and slowly count an inhale of three seconds and an exhale of three to five seconds.

Ask them to slowly see their whole day one memory at a time and to thank each memory before letting it go with their breath.

Allow them to drift off as you continue to channel the energy through your palms and send the healing light into their entire body. Imagine the body becoming healed, relaxed, and heavy for a peaceful night’s sleep. You can offer this Reiki for as long as you want, but between fifteen and thirty minutes is usually enough for them to feel relaxed and peaceful.
