As touched upon in the posts on Reiki & Aromatherapy & Reiki & Reflexology and to some extent in the post on Reiki & Acupressure, Reiki & Massage complement each other extremely well and since either of these therapies work well on their own, the combination makes for an extremely powerful session. The main idea is that the Reiki practitioner channel the Reiki energies prior to beginning the massage and just allows the Reiki energies to flow as the massage continues. There is no need for any further consideration… just let it flow.

Another favorite practice of mine is to give Reiki to the massage oil that I will be using for 5-10 minutes prior to the treatment. A more advanced practice, for the Reiki Masters out there who wish to take advantage of it, is to actually give a Reiki attunement to the oil that you will be using. This is especially potent if the oil contains any essential oils, as they hold the Reiki energies extremely well.

One word of caution… in some places Massage is illegal without a license whereas non-contact Reiki is fully legal. One should always be aware of the laws governing the place where you are practicing Reiki… especially if it includes some sort of massage. If you are traveling be sure to learn about the laws of the place you are visiting, as they may differ from your home laws.
