Ever experienced feeling tired after a Reiki session? Energy work like Reiki therapy can have all sorts of effects, and fatigue is certainly a common one! Let’s explore reasons and remedies.
First, some background. My name is Lillie, and I’ve been a Boston Reiki practitioner since 2018. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the years, and write from hands-on personal experience, as well as numerous trainings.

Why Do I Feel Tired After Receiving Reiki?
As we learned in “What is Reiki?” this gentle Japanese touch calming method helps the body relax into an assisted meditative state, and thus process what it needs to process. Depending how the processing goes, it can either lead to more energy — or fatigue.
Neither effect is necessarily “good” nor “bad” — they’re just different ways for your body to metabolize emotions — but fatigue certainly requires some strategies to deal with. Let’s look at an actual example that happened to me when I got a Reiki treatment, myself, last week.

As a Reiki Master, myself, it’s essential that I make time to also receive treatments, as well as give them. However, even I was surprised that after last week’s session: I ended up going right home, exhausted, getting in bed early, and sleeping that night for a full ten hours!
I also noticed that in some ways I was feeling worse after Reiki — I felt emotionally open and raw. What had happened to give me such fatigue after the session? I turned to my support network of friends, loved ones, and mentors to talk it through.
What I realized, after reflection and discussion, was that the Reiki session had helped my body process that something that had happened between me and another person earlier that week had been deeply disturbing. I had been repressing how upset I was about it, but the energy work (epitomized by the purple aura that popped up) helped the reality rise to the surface.
Indeed, one of the benefits of Reiki is that it helps provide clarity of thoughts, and allows you to tap into what you’re REALLY feeling — but the result can be fatigue from finally looking something in the face that you have been avoiding. The good news is that fatigue is worth it because it is bringing you closer to your true self and desires… you just need to make sure you put things in place to support the journey.

As I explained in my article about emotional numbness, we often numb out thoughts, situations, or feelings they are exhausting to confront head on… but at the end of the day, it’s healthiest to process them. We just need to make sure we put things like therapy, journaling, conversations with trusted friends, and other healthy bolsters in place to do so.
Sometimes a Reiki practitioner will help you talk through what’s coming up for you, but some practitioners don’t do much talking at all, leaving you to do the processing yourself. This is not to say that the latter type is bad — just be eyes wide open about what type you are seeing, and make sure to activate a wider support network or self-care and self-processing tactics to compensate.
Physical Reasons for Feeling Tired After Reiki
Though I find that fatigue after energy work is usually caused by emotional processing, I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention that there can be a physical reason: Dehydration. As I explained in my “Headache After Reiki” article, you need to drink much more water than usual in the 48 hours after a Reiki session, as you’ve essentially just done a workout for your energy. Failure to do so certainly causes discomfort, so make sure to be on top of it.
