What is Reiki or energy work?
Rei roughly translates to God’s wisdom, Universe, or divine. Ki translates to life force energy. Put it together and you get universal life force energy. I also like to refer to it as love and light; light being the energy created by Source and the place we all return to after we leave our bodies to cross over. Reiki practitioners or energy workers (or lightworkers as they are also known) act as channels for the Reiki energies which flow into the client’s body, energy system, and chakras. Our energy systems are composed of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual layers. As we close off our energy systems not allowing the energies to flow freely, we can develop problems in any of these layers which eventually can lead to disease manifesting in the physical body if the problems aren’t corrected. Reiki works to release these blockages, balance out the chakras, and expand the client’s energy system while both connecting them to Source/God/Goddess/Universal energy as well as grounding them to the earth plane. Reiki is one type of energy work out there, but there are many other methods and ways of doing energy work (all of which are equally valid). I am currently expanding out my practices beyond just Reiki.
Is Reiki the same thing as massage therapy, and is it priced the same?
No, energy work is not massage therapy, and we are not licensed to do massage so please don’t ask. You will notice Reiki practitioners often charge more than massage therapists because it is quite draining work. A Reiki practitioner really can only do 4 or 5 sessions max in a day, or they risk burning themselves out and blowing out their bodies. Reiki energies do work on several levels though so seeing an energy worker is like seeing a massage therapist or a doctor (physical body level), a mental health counselor, psychologist, or life coach (mental and emotional level), a spiritual advisor, pastor, or psychic medium (spiritual level). You get your money’s worth. 🙂
What do you mean by intuitive energy healing?
I am an intuitive and thus I use intuitive information in my work. I work with my soul and guides and the client’s soul and guides to adjust the energies for the highest good of the client. While sometimes I will hear, see, feel, taste, or smell information on a psychic level, client’s may only get the information that they need or are ready to hear at the time of the session. Client’s should not expect to be getting a reading in the same way they would if they see a psychic or a medium. I work with the client’s energy in the present moment and try to refrain from making predictive statements. The future is mutable and the client always has the free will to make choices which can affect the ultimate outcome.
What does a session entail?
The client lies on a massage table (fully clothed) on their back and on their stomach during the session. I will then move up and down through their energy system placing my hands lightly on their body in various positions channeling the energy into them. I also work with the energies further out in the aura of the client, and will be drawing Reiki symbols above the client to help amp up, balance, and adjust the energies further. In person sessions are on hold right now for me, but I do remote sessions via the internet or over the phone. There is no time and space on the other side of the veil in the same way as our physical realm so energy work does not need to be done in the same room as the client.
What does an energy session feel like?
This varies widely based on the individual and how open the client is to the energy. The key is being open to the experience, because the moment one is skeptical and doubting the process, they close off their energy system and the energies won’t flow very well. Some of the descriptions I have heard people say to feeling the energies in a session have included feeling tingly, pin pricks, vibrations in the body, dizzy, high, stoned, relaxed, hot, and cold. People also can experience nausea and sometimes mild pain as blockages are released and energies are shifted. I have heard clients make statements like “I feel like something was draining all the heaviness and darkness out of me.” “I feel so much lighter and at peace.” I have had clients experience a mild attunement headache after the session. This is just the body getting used to the new expanded and higher vibrating energy. Clients have also gone through a bit of a physical detox the 24 hours after a session. It is very important to drink lots of water and get a lot of rest after a session as tiredness and dehydration are common side effects, and water and rest help with energy integration. As emotional, mental, and spiritual areas are cleansed and healed, the client could experience old emotions or thoughts coming to the surface to be released. It is not uncommon for a client to start crying, experience grief, or to get angry suddenly either during a session or after a session or even to have their “stuff” come up in their dreams. This is all just negative energies that need to either get out of the energy system or become absorbed and transmuted as a part of our whole selves. Finally, some people don’t feel anything at all. Just know that the energy is working regardless, and as your energy expands, you may begin to feel something in future sessions.
What sort of results can I expect to get from a session?
Energy work can improve life on many levels. The body is very powerful at healing itself, so once the energy system is flowing better, physical diseases, chronic conditions, and injuries have the potential to be managed or heal completely (or heal at a faster rate) through this work. Mental and emotional problems such as depression, grief and loss, addiction, low self esteem, anxiety, frustration, and ego, control, anger, and fear issues can all potentially be healed. People have experienced major life changes such as shifts in relationships, goals, careers, family life, and homes. The energy works to align you closer to your life purpose and what you want to create and manifest in your life. Reiki energy is subtle and individuals all grow and shift at their own pace. You are in charge of your own life and the energy won’t shift you if you are not ready or willing to make some changes and take responsibility for yourself and your life. Reiki can also be used to help people or animals diagnosed with a terminal illness to transition out of their current lives peacefully should they choose to. Finally, this work is meant to be complimentary to western medicine. Please continue to seek medical advice from your normal doctor. Energy workers are legally prohibited from prescribing medicine or diagnosing a condition or illness.
What is a distance session?
Believe it or not, energy work can be performed on someone when they are not even in the same room. The practitioner can unlock space and time and perform the session on a client even if they are halfway across the world. Energy healing works on a different plane than simply just the physical world, and there is no time and space on the other side so this is not a problem. Distance sessions can be just as effective as in person sessions. I have had distance sessions done on me before and have felt my energy system being worked on as it was happening so I know this is not simply some gimmick. I am available to do distance sessions so please contact me if you are interested. I usually advise the person to be in a place where they can be comfortable and relaxed and maybe even in a meditative state just to better facilitate the session. Plus, you don’t want to be working or driving a car in case you start to feel dizzy during the session.
