REIKI SESSION AGREEMENT
Last Updated: August 27, 2026
This agreement is here to make sure we're clear about what Reiki through Awakened Sways is, what it isn't, and what you are choosing when you book a session.
Please read it before completing your booking.
THE REIKI EXPERIENCE
Reiki sessions through Awakened Sways are offered as a spiritual and wellness practice centered around intentional stillness, presence, receiving, and awareness.
Sessions are provided by Jonathan Diggs (JD) and may be experienced remotely from wherever you are comfortable.
There isn't a particular response you are expected to have during Reiki. Some people describe relaxation, warmth, tingling, temperature changes, imagery, colors, thoughts, emotions, or other subtle sensations. Some simply rest or notice very little during the session.
Your experience is your own. No particular physical, emotional, energetic, or spiritual response is promised or required.
YOUR CHOICE TO PARTICIPATE
Booking and participating in Reiki is voluntary.
By booking a session, you are choosing to receive Reiki from Jonathan during your scheduled time. You do not have to follow a particular spiritual belief, and you are not required to accept Jonathan's or Awakened Sways' personal spiritual beliefs as your own.
You may change your mind, decline any part of the experience, or ask to end the session at any time.
Your choice remains yours throughout the experience.
DISTANCE REIKI
At your scheduled time, you are encouraged to find a comfortable place where you can sit or lie down and remain relatively uninterrupted.
You do not have to be on camera or maintain a conversation throughout the session.
A Google Meet space may be available for those who would like to connect briefly or use the shared space or optional music. Participation through Google Meet is optional unless otherwise stated for a particular session.
As part of the Reiki preparation used by Awakened Sways, you may also be encouraged to remove metal jewelry if you are comfortable doing so. You don't need to create a particular mindset or try to make yourself feel something.
Come as you are.
REIKI IS NOT MEDICAL OR MENTAL-HEALTH TREATMENT
Reiki through Awakened Sways is offered as a spiritual and wellness practice.
It is not medical care, psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, or treatment for a physical or mental-health condition. Jonathan Diggs (JD) does not diagnose medical or mental-health conditions through Reiki, prescribe medication, change medication, or advise you to discontinue professional care.
Reiki should not be used in place of care from an appropriately qualified healthcare or mental-health professional. If you have concerns about your physical or mental health, those concerns should be discussed with an appropriate licensed professional. If you are experiencing an emergency or believe you may be in immediate danger, contact emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource rather than relying on a Reiki session.
EXPERIENCES AND OUTCOMES
Reiki is personal, and experiences vary.
Awakened Sways does not guarantee that a session will create relaxation, emotional release, pain relief, healing, spiritual insight, energetic changes, or any other particular result.
You may notice something during or after a session. You may not.
You are encouraged to notice your own experience without feeling pressured to interpret an ordinary physical sensation, thought, emotion, or life event as proof that Reiki caused it.
Nothing needs to be forced.
YOUR COMFORT AND RESPONSIBILITY
You are responsible for choosing a physical environment where you can participate safely and comfortably.
Do not participate while driving, operating machinery, or doing something that requires your full attention.
You are encouraged to communicate if something about the experience makes you uncomfortable or if you no longer wish to continue.
You remain responsible for your own decisions, wellbeing, healthcare choices, and actions before, during, and after the session.
PRIVACY
What you choose to share about yourself during the booking process or directly with Jonathan Diggs (JD) will be treated with respect and discretion. Awakened Sways does not require you to disclose private medical history, diagnoses, trauma history, or other sensitive information simply to receive Reiki.
Information may be retained when reasonably necessary for booking, payment, communication, session records, legal obligations, or operation of the service and will be handled in accordance with the Awakened Sways Privacy Policy.
Awakened Sways cannot promise absolute confidentiality where disclosure is required by applicable law, necessary to protect legal rights, or otherwise permitted under the Privacy Policy.
TESTIMONIALS, STORIES, AND CLIENT EXPERIENCES
Booking a Reiki session does not give Awakened Sways permission to publicly use your name, story, testimonial, private messages, session details, photograph, or identifying information for marketing.
If Awakened Sways would like to share something from your experience publicly, permission will be requested separately.
You are always free to decline.
PAYMENT, RESCHEDULING, AND MISSED SESSIONS
Payment is collected as part of the booking process where applicable.
Your scheduled time is reserved specifically for you.
If you need to reschedule, please do so as early as reasonably possible. Awakened Sways currently asks for at least 12 hours' notice when possible.
Cancellations made within 12 hours of the scheduled session and missed appointments are generally non-refundable, except where required by law or where Awakened Sways chooses to make an exception based on the circumstances.
If Awakened Sways must cancel your session, you will be given the option to reschedule or receive a refund for the affected session.
MINORS
Reiki sessions for a minor require the consent of the minor's parent or legal guardian and may require additional arrangements before the session is accepted.
A parent or legal guardian should contact Awakened Sways before booking Reiki for a minor.
RECORDING
Neither the client nor Awakened Sways should record a private Reiki session, including audio or video, without the other person's knowledge and permission.

By completing the required acknowledgment during booking, you confirm that:
