I am a Holy Fire Reiki practitioner and certified as a Master Teacher. I've been practicing for a handful of years and I still find myself in awe of this universal healing energy and by the way one session can provide so much relaxation, calm and overall peace. Each session is a unique experience and no two are ever exactly the same. Many recipients report a sense of feeling very "light" and as if they were floating during and even after their treatment. 

​

Why do we need energy healing?

Every situation and each person we come into contact with has their own unique vibration and aura. Your aura is the energy field that surrounds the body. It acts as a magnetic field of energy that picks up on emotions, health, psychic debris and circumstances around you. When we come into contact with another, we take in some of the energy they give off and they take in what we give off - without ever realizing it. Receiving Reiki clears away this excess energetic "junk" that accumulates over time and creates balance in the body and mind.

​

I see the process of Reiki as a way to "smooth" down the rough edges in the energetic field. While I do not visibly see energy, I perceive it intuitively. In this way, I've observed energy that feels disconnected, scattered and/or depleted. When our energy becomes drained, we're left feeling un-grounded, lacking clarity, unhappy, anxious, depressed, and the list goes on. When our energy is disordered, it can even reverse directions or halt completely. There are many reasons why this occurs and could be related to having a bad day, dealing with conscious or unconscious past trauma, being in the midst of or recovering from a sickness, having an argument, habitual negative thinking, speaking harsh words to another or having harsh words spoken to us. One contributing factor that I often see is from the way we give away so much of ourselves, our time, love, and energy without ever taking time to replenish our own.

​

Similar to yin, Reiki helps to relieve tension and stress from our bodies. The process clears and creates the necessary space for us to take on more of whatever life throws our way. If we don't "empty" our bodies (one way or another) of tension and stress, it will overflow, rendering us less than capable of handling life's ups and downs. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, all dis-ease first occurs in our energetic field.

​

A session with me goes something like this...

I begin each session with a guided relaxation. This cultivates a calm and receptive state of being and is very beneficial to the process. When very relaxed, there is a noticeable difference in the way one receives the energy. After the guided relaxation, I use my hands to do an initial body scan. This is hands on or can be done above the body if one does not prefer touch. Beyond the initial scan, I use a crystal pendulum to re-scan the body and it's 7 main chakras (energetic centers along the spine).

The information gathered from the initial and pendulum scan will direct the focus of the treatment. Although there are areas that may receive extra attention, the process will affect the entire body.

​

Sound instruments may be used in the session upon request. If requested, tuning forks, tongue drums, Tibetan singing bowls, crystal sound bowls & pyramids, etc are incorporated into the session. Because crystals have their own unique vibration and healing qualities, they are usually around and a part of the session as well. 

​

After each session, I allow time to process & talk about whatever came up. I will share what was perceived from my end of the experience and offer the option for the recipient to share as well. It's always very interesting to consider the themes, visualizations, and sensations that came up.

It is a journey for sure and one that you will want to take!
