So what IS Reiki anyway?  Reiki is a Japanese word which can be translated as follows: 

Rei:  Spirit       Ki:    Energy

Reiki uses similar principles to Acupuncture without the invasiveness.  Instead of using the needles to heal, Reiki gently uses energy to heal.

What does a Reiki session look like?   The client lays down on a table similar to that of a massage therapist.  The Reiki Practitioner plays soothing music while holding their hands over the person's body (or actually touches the body if the client requests so) in a specific manner as to enable the body to heal itself.  Reiki is so relaxing that the client often takes a cat nap during the session.

What does Reiki feel like?  You may or may not feel tingling or other skin sensations.  Body changes aside from a general feeling of well being and relaxation do not always occur immediately.  For example, if you come in with a terrible sinus headache, you will leave the office feeling relaxed but may still have some of the headache.  The ache will usually fade over the next few hours.
