My approach is to take some time before beginning the healing session to get to know you, understand what brought you, and what you’re looking to release/let go of throughout the session.
After our short introductions, I will ask you to lie down on your back, turn down the lights, and put on some nondescript music. We will do a short meditation to get into the right headspace and get you relaxed + comfy, then the session will begin.
If you’re okay with physical contact, I will place my hands at various points of your body (neck, shoulders, forehead, hips, legs—wherever I’m intuiting energetic blocks) and if you’re not ready for physical contact (absolutely okay) I will leave my hands in the air above you instead. I will work over your body, working to relieve stuck energy helping it get released.
After the reiki session we will take a few minutes to discuss what came up for you, what you felt, what you perceived, what you released. (some people need time to process and that’s absolutely okay). I will also let you know what came up for me.
You’re absolutely welcome to record the sessions with the voice recorder on your phone or take notes after the fact (journaling is encouraged)—I always find it’s nice to reference afterwards because processing the energy can be a lot sometimes.
Following your session the reiki energy will remain with you for 72 hours, call upon it anytime you feel out of balance. Be sure to drink lots of water, get lots of rest, and open to whatever comes up for you. I recommend journaling if that feels right to you.
