The Reiki Cafe 

When I reiki someone (only family or friends)there are times when I keep my mind clear, times when I focus on my intentions, and times when we end up chatting away. It all depends on the severity situation. What is mindful intent for you?

I would say that I just ask for the light in which ever way healing is needed.

When I work with my clients, be it people or animals my intent is full on healing, this does not stop me talking to the clients or pet owners. The energy will flow anyway as my intent was to give healing. I often talk people through what I am doing while I'm healing as this is comforting when it is their fisrt time having a Reiki treatment. Hope this makes sense and answered your question.
