- Weighted forks. These have small weights on the ends, so they make a tone you can feel as a gentle buzz.
- Unweighted forks. These ring with a tone you mostly hear, and they are often moved through the air around you.
Reiki is a gentle practice that uses no touch or only a light touch. The forks add sound to that calm, quiet setting. Related: Harmonic Egg vs sound bath vs float tank: what's the difference?.

- You settle in and get comfortable in a quiet space.
- The practitioner begins the reiki part at a calm, steady pace.

How are reiki tuning forks different from the Harmonic Egg?
Reiki tuning forks use a practitioner and handheld forks held near you. The Harmonic Egg is a chamber you sit inside on your own. Both aim for calm, but they work in different ways.
| Feature | Reiki tuning forks | Harmonic Egg session |
|---|---|---|
| Setting | Quiet room, you rest on a table or chair | Enclosed chamber you sit inside |
| Sound source | Handheld metal forks tapped by the practitioner | Sound and light run by the chamber system |
| Your role | Lie still and breathe | Sit back and relax alone in the chamber |
| Privacy | One on one with the practitioner | Fully private, you are alone inside |
You can learn more about the chamber on our Harmonic Egg sessions page. Many guests like to try both of them over time.
