Crystals for Travels & Protection

Do you travel with crystals? When going to new places, I’d like to bring one or two crystals with me for protective purposes. I usually put them next to my bed. Here are some crystals that are great as travelling companions. Black tourmaline is known for its centering properties. It helps to center oneself, especially when we are in a large and crowded space. Black tourmaline deflects, dispels and shields the carrier from external negative energies. I have a small one that I’d like to wear when I travel to new places and a generator which I’d like to put aside by the bed. Smoky quartz is an accessible yet protective stone. Smoky quartz might have more gentle energetics compared to clear quartz, but its protective properties are powerful. If you are travelling by car, smoky quartz is great for protecting you from road rages and helps to reduce stress from traffic. In addition, smoky quartz is known for keeping away from evil and paranormal, especially at night. We all have heard some stories of hotels hey? Malachite, the stone of love goddess, it is a great stone for overcoming fear. I recently discovered that malachite works for overcoming fear for flying. Try empowering your malachite by holding it and picturing yourself in the wings of Archangel Raphael. Lepidolite is a stone of tranquillity. Anyone who might experience sleepless nights when sleeping on a new bed? (*hand up). The soft nurturing energies of lepidolite helps to bring inner peace and calmness. The lithium in lepidolite is also known for tuning down anxiety. Clear quartz, an all-time favourite multi-tasker. Clear quartz helps to amply energies, so if you carry another crystal with you, clear quartz will help to increase the healing properties of the other crystals. It is also a great crystal to ward off nightmares. I sleep with a clear quartz pointer every night. However, be mindful of the clear quartz that you are using. It is important to work with a clear quartz that you are connected to. To connect with a clear quartz, simply hold it in your hand and feel its vibration. Inhale the energies of the clear quartz to your heart chakra, and exhale your heart chakra energies to the clear quartz. Do this for a few time and daily before bed. You will soon feel connected to your clear quartz and by holding it before going to sleep, let the cleansing and calming energies of clear quartz sooth you. Do you like to travel with crystals? Feel free to drop your comments below as I would love to hear what crystals you’d like to take with you on a trip!

Ten Uses for Reiki in Everyday Situations

After learning Reiki level 1, we can begin to use Reiki in many everyday situations to enhance our intentions and send Reiki for our highest interest and good. Here are some examples of using Reiki in some day-to-day situations, provided by Dr Nina L. Paul in her book ‘Reiki for dummies’. 1. Helping Plants Reach Their Potential Reiki has the power to help plants grow, flower and fruit, simply Reiki on seeds before planting, before pruning or send Reiki to those who are ailing. 2. Boosting Your Food’s Fortitude Send Reiki to your food to fortify the nutritions. You can also Reiki the meals you are preparing for others. 3. Shoring Up your Water Give the water you use some Reiki and the heathy properties of your water will be amplified. You can do it when you take a shower or bath, the water you drink or simply, the water you use to water your plants. 4. Making the Most of Your Medicine According to Dr. Paul, the advantage of using Reiki on your medication or supplement can reduce dangerous side effects and maximize the healing benefits of the drug. 5. Cleaning and Clearing Out Clutter There are times that you may feel that a room has an off-putting vibe. Then this is the time you can Reiki the room for some cleansing. You can Reiki every corner of the room, with some energy cleansing practices such as sound and purifying smoke. People will often Reiki int he middle of the room, the four walls, the ceiling and the floor too. 6. Protecting Loved Ones You can send Reiki with your intention for the loved ones to be protected on their special occasions, such as undergoing a medical operation or going for a job interview. You can also send Reiki in distance after learning Reiki level 2. 7. Shielding Your home This is actually one of my frequent practices of using Reiki and personally I would Reiki all corners of my home externally with the intention of asking my home to be protected. You can also do it when you are away from your home for a period of time. 8. Calming Computer Problems Reiki Works on electronic appliances. You can send Reiki to your appliances when they act up. Remember that Reiki is not a substitute for good computer practices but it will help to promote the best outcomes. 9. Managing Money with Reiki You can use Reiki to help you connect with your money from a place of soul and spirit. With the intention of healing, some people’s relationship with money can be alleviated. 10. Bolstering Your Transportation You can use Reiki on the road for an extra level of protection with the intention of safe travel. Interested in finding out how you can connect to Reiki as a student?

How to cleanse and restore your aura

Aura typically refers to a subtle energy field that surrounds all living beings, including humans, animals, and plants. It is an electromagnetic field or a luminous glow that emanates from the body and extends beyond it. The aura serves as a protective shield against negative energies (also known as psychic debris) or influences. For someone who has a weak, damaged or negative energy dense aura, it is more likely for them to experience physical discomfort, mood swing, lack of spiritual connection and mental disturbance. Nightmares and psychic parasitic attachments can sometimes take place too. Maintaining a healthy and balanced aura helps to create a barrier to repel or transmute negative energies and achieve the balance of mind, body and spirit. Cleansing and restoring your aura is one way to maintain a healthy aura and it can be as simple as taking a shower. Here are some accessible and easy ways for cleansing the aura, and of course, the more regularly you do it, the more powerful the effect is! Cleansing Your Aura Purifying smoke: This is one of the most common ways of cleansing the aura. Pass sacred smoke through your aura by using plants and resin with purifying properties. Some examples include sage (of any type), palo santo, lavender, frankincense, rosemary and rose. Some plants can be hard to find in fresh forms so essential oil will also work. Shower or Bath: Taking a shower or bath with epsom salt as epsom salt and water contain purifying properties. Salt and Sage Quartz Foot Soak Detox This foot soak detox will help if you are feeling drained, ill, depressed or attached by any negative entity. For this ritual, you will need: -a small tub or a bucket -1 cup of sea salt or Himalayan salt -1 large clear quartz -some cleansing incense or herbal smoke -3 lavender wands -3 sprigs of fresh sage (sometimes finding fresh herbs can be hard, so I suggest using dried herb will have the same effect) For optimal result, leave your bucket of water in the sun with clear quartz and salt. Before you start the ritual, light the cleansing smoke and let it pass your aura, from your crown to the bottom of your soles and all four sides of your body. Add in the herb. If you are using dried herb, you can also make it into a tea and pour it in the bucket of water. If you haven’t added the quartz and salt by now please do so. Place your feet in the tub for 20 minutes. Release all worries and let go of your thoughts. Imagine the water absorbing any negativity, any toxic energy that is attached to you. Once you are done, take the water out and throw it into the earth or dispose it to whatever way that is convenient to you. Use of Selenite: use a selenite stick to scan your aura, starting from the top of your head, all four sides of your body and down to the soles of your feet. Selenite has a powerful cleansing property and it is often used in cutting energetic cords and remove psychic parasites. Restoring Your Aura Use of Crystals: Crystals such as aragonite cluster, spirit quartz, golden healer’s gold can help restore and heal damaged aura. Try wearing them, carrying them around or even sleep with them on a regular basis. Earthing: Grounding with the nature is always a good idea! Try standing on the ground bare feet (natural environment) and imagine you are redirecting all the energy that does not serve you to the ground and draw up the earth energy to your heart. Earthing always serves as a way to filter and renew our own energy. I would suggest doing one way of cleansing at the end of the day and one way of restoring/healing and the start of the day. Lastly, you can always have the effect of cleansing and restoring your aura through a Reiki session. Reiki works on different layer of the subtle body, including the auric body. In my Reiki sessions, I incorporate different crystal healing protocols to serve the needs of my clients. Interested in trying one of my crystal Reiki sessions?

Solfeggio Frequencies

Solfeggio frequencies, sometimes called as ‘the Miracle Tones’, refer to specific tones of sound that help with and promote various aspects of body and mind health. These frequencies are part of the olden six-tone scale which can be date back to ancient history and said to be the fundamental sounds used in both Western Christianity and Eastern Indian religions, chanted by the Gregorian Monks and in ancient Indian Sanskrit chants. There are seven main Solfeggio Frequencies: The 432 Hz Although the 432 Hz is not part of the main Solfeggio Frequencies, it is a natural frequency from the universe having cosmic healing abilities. Many ancient musical instruments were constructed for 432 Hz tuning and it was the standard of instrumental tuning before the mid-20th century. The 432 Hz frequency resonates with the Schumann Resonance of 8 Hz and is known for its deeply calming and soothing effects. This frequency helps to slow down heart rate and fills the mind with feelings of peace and well-being, making it the perfect accompaniment for gentle exercise, meditation, or sleep. The Benefits of Sound Healing Healing with sound can be date back to ancient Greece, when music was used for mental health. Music Therapy is continued to nowadays for various purposes, for treating a number of conditions or simply for relaxation. Some of the benefits of sound healing include: -Relieve physical pain -Regulate blood pressure -Help to balance the human biofield -Help to manage stress, anxiety and sleeping disorder Recommend Playlists of Solfeggio Frequencies: Sound has been playing a huge part in my life. Not only am I sensitive to sound, I am also very selective in sound. In Human Design, my 43-23 channel has made me an ‘acoustic’ and ‘deaf’ person who has a very particular choice of sound. I can listen to some songs or a type of sound over and over again in days, weeks or even in years without getting bored. The Miracle Tones, one of my often go-to sound choices, have helped me gone through several sleepless nights and moments of stressful times, and of course, it is often used in my Reiki healing sessions as background music.

The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)

In previous Reiki sessions, I encountered many clients who told me that they were feeling dull or a lack of interest in life. If this is the case, the sacral chakra is often closed. The sacral chakra is located below the belly button and above the pubic bone. For a female body, the sacral chakra resides in where the womb would be. The Sanskrit name for the sacral chakra, Svadhisthana, means ‘sweetness’. This is because the purpose of the sacral chakra is for us to experience pleasure, sensuality, movement and creativity. Through opening and balancing the sacral chakra, we will learn how to express our emotions and experience pleasure and sensuality in healthy ways. Signs of a balanced sacral chakra If your sacral chakra is open and balanced, it is an indication that you are enjoying the gifts your physical body has to offer. You can be emotional, but you are able to work through your emotions in a way that allows you to flow with life with ease. People with a balanced and open sacral chakra can: Signs of an overactive sacral chakra An overactive sacral chakra can often result in forming addictive patterns. This is because the sacral chakra relates to experiencing pleasure and it is quite common for it to become overactive. People with an overactive sacral chakra can sometimes feel their emotions too much. For someone who is a highly sensitive person with an overactive chakra, their feelings of emotions can be tenfold! People with a balanced and open sacral chakra can: *To bring down the energy of an overactive sacral chakra, try wearing or carry a piece of aquamarine, or working with the heart chakra as well as using physical movements to process strong emotions. Signs of an underactive sacral chakra An underactive sacral chakra can make people feel that they do not deserve pleasure and sensuality, and having emotions is wrong. This can be common if people are brought up in a home or societies where discussion of pleasure or sex is not encouraged. People with an underactive sacral chakra can: Common ways to balance the sacral chakra As the sacral chakra is associated with the element of water, working with water can be one way to open this chakra. Go for a swim, take a bath or shower or simply listen to the sound of water and visualize yourself flowing with water. Another way to balance the sacral chakra is through movements, especially dancing. Dancing can be a powerful tool for activating the energy in the sacral chakra. Turn on the music and move your body! There is no right or wrong way when you dance to the music! Carnelian is great for enhancing the energy of the sacral chakra. It can help increase creativity, sex drives and emotions. Moonstone is a gentler option compared to carnelian. In addition, sunstone, red garnet and opal are also helpful in bringing an uplifting vibration to the sacral chakra. Ylang-ylang, sandalwood and cinnamon are great options when you want to balance the sacral chakra through aromatherapy. If a bathtub is not accessible, simply take a few drops of these essential oils into your shower and let the scents lift you up! One of the many benefits of Reiki is to bring your energetic body back to alignment by balancing the chakras. Want to discover what Reiki can do for you? Click the link below and find out!

My Spiritual Journey Into The World Of Reiki

My first Reiki experience had a profound impact on me. Before I booked my first Reiki session, I was in a constant state of fatigue. I was also battling with PCOS and pre-diabetes (I still am). One day, I started to notice that Instagram had been promoting a Reiki advertisement to me very frequently. Like many people, at first I did not pay attention, but when something happens for more than three times, you start to pay more attention. I started to google ‘what is Reiki’, and, like most of my first time clients, only knowing it is a type of energy healing modality. But, what is energy healing? How is energy healed? Out of curiosity, I booked my first Reiki session. I appreciated that my Reiki practitioner Saira Ramirez, who is now my Reiki teacher, did not explain too much before the session, which helped me to keep an open mind. I lied down with a crystal eye mask and some crystals placements on my chakras. The music started. My mind was preoccupied with many thoughts: what if I did not feel anything? What would the outcome be? Does Reiki work or is it just woo woo? Having all these thoughts, I could sense that my Reiki practitioner was sometimes near my head and sometimes was by my side. In the middle of the session, suddenly, I felt my heart was ripped open. It sounds horrible but that was how I felt, my heart was open and something wanted to come out, something to be released. I wanted to cry, for no reason. Before Reiki I had been quite calm the whole week. I did not know why I wanted to cry. It was not a happy cry. It was more of a grieving or mourning feeling. It was also a sense of bitterness, bitterness due to being undervalued or, I was pushed/forced to pretend everything was okay. You see, it was a truly complex feeling. After a while, the sensation was gone. I was back to a calm state, like nothing had happened. The session finished. Saira told me that there were some past emotions stuck in my heart. Also, I should pay more attention to my root chakra. All of these were work related. She also suggested that I could look into past life if I want to investigate further. Saira was spot on about my work situation. As mentioned before, I was in a constant state of fatigue and burnout; part of it was because of my old job. It was mentally and physically consuming that I needed double the amount of time for a full recovery. I would not be surprised if my heart and root chakra were not balanced. However, this is not the end of my story. One night, I had a dream. I dream about a white car, driving on a swirling twirling road. It was driving steadily. Suddenly, the car started to race. It was racing on a straight road. There was no ending. It was extremely fast. It rushed straightforwards and, I woke up. My heart was pumping, as if I was in the race too. A vision came up. Yes, a vision, an image. I thought I was still dreaming but I was not. To confirm this, I turned on my bedside light. The vision was still here, right in front of me, up in the air. It was a labyrinth. It was white and there were some red bits under the labyrinth like flames. The flames were moving but the labyrinth did not move. The labyrinth existed for several seconds then it was gone. My heart was still pumping. My mind was puzzled. What just happened? Before this encounter, I was never able to see things that do not belong to our dimension. I was not clairvoyant in any way. I got up and searched what does a labyrinth mean as a symbol. From ancient times, it is used as a symbol for spiritual quest, a new beginning and inner growth. “A labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. It combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path. The Labyrinth represents a journey to our own center and back again out into the world.” From that moment, I deeply believed that this had something to do with Reiki; or, with me in contact with Reiki. I believe this is an inner calling for me to dive deeper into the world of Reiki. Soon after this interesting encounter, I determined to learn more about Reiki. I signed up for Reiki Level 1 training and subsequently Level 2 training and became a Reiki practitioner. One of the biggest take away after I practice Reiki is that Reiki is an act of compassion, compassion for others and compassion for myself. Despite the physical healing effects, I have noticed that Reiki has helped me to look within myself introspectively with compassion, which is something I was not able to do in the past. Reiki has helped me changed my perception of the world through the lens of compassion. Through (re)-discovering the compassion for myself, I learn how to treat others with genuine kindness. Just like the meaning of the labyrinth, with Reiki, I look within, with love to myself. Then I turn outwards, to love others. I am grateful that I found Reiki, or rather, Reiki found me. I experienced transformations physically, mentally and spiritually. This year marks the 100th year of Reiki and it means a lot to me that I am able to share this magical spiritual heritage through my service! “Reiki is love, Love is wholeness, Wholeness is balance, Balance is well being, Well being is freedom from disease.”– Dr. Mikao Usui

The Heart Chakra (Anahata)

For clients who feel uninspired and low energy, I often focus on the area where the heart chakra is then move on to lower chakras. The heart chakra (Anahata) is located in the centre of the chest. It is the balancing point of lower and higher chakras and the balancing point of lower vibrational energy and higher vibrational energy. The Sanskrit translation of anahata means “unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten”. It signifies the heart chakara’s ability to experience two opposing forces and not be negative affected, or ‘hurt, struck or beaten’. Therefore, the essence of the heart chakra is balance, love and acceptance. It is the energy of loving yourself unconditionally and honour both your positive and negative traits. It is also the energy of empathy and acceptance. The empathy and understanding of dualities in the world and yet, accepting as it is with love. Signs of an overactive heart chakra People with an overactive heart chakra can experience high sensitivity of others’ energy and emotions. Therefore, it is hard for them to maintain healthy and firm boundaries. There are other sources stating for those who are identified as an ‘empath’ might have an overactive heart chakra. Other signs of an overactive heart chakra also include:• Saying ‘yes’ when you want to say ‘no’;• People pleasing;• Attending to other people’s needs first while dropping personal boundaries;• Overly empathetic For an overactive heart chakra, protection work is crucial for bringing down the energy of your heart and help to stay grounded and centerd. This can include doing energy protection meditation, practicing affirmations, casting protective spells and wearing protective crystals such as black tourmaline, malachite and hematite. It is also important to practice saying ‘no’ and eventually building up firm and healthy boundaries for yourself. Signs of an underactive chakra Looking back to my past, I believe that I often had an underactive chakra. It is not uncommon to find your heart chakra underactive when you find it difficult to care for yourself and feeling lack of self-love. When you are in a position where self-love is lacking, you may be easily and quickly offended and hold on to resentments. Other signs of an underactive heart chakra also include:• A tendency to think negatively and have negative self-talk;• Comparing yourself to others a lot;• Easily holding onto things and finding it hard to let go and forgive;• A tendency to think that you do not deserve love and support Common tips for balancing the heart chakra The heart chakra is associated to the element of air. Therefore, breathwork can be very helpful. There are different types of breathwork techniques so just find the ones that suit your current state. In addition, it can be as simple as just being aware of the quality of your breath. Note how long and how deep is your breath. The more aware you become the easier for you to access the heart chakra. For crystal healing, rose quartz is the queen of heart healing. For setting healthy boundaries, I will suggest put rose quartz and amazonite on your heart to support speaking your truth with strong self love. Rhodonite helps to stabilize your emotions and balance feminine and masculine energy. If you feel your heart is out of balance, try rhodonite for a few weeks. Malachite is a protective stone with transformative energy. It helps to build courage and support positive changes while it shields you from negative energy. You can make your own heart healing energy spray or essential oil blend with rose, bergamot and ylang ylang. Add some rose quartz chips in your bottle can increase the magick of the blend. When you use the spray or roller blend, imagine yourself basked in white light and repeat the affirmation ‘I love and accept myself as I am’.

The Combination of Reiki and Yoga

I became a dedicated yogi in 2017—It was my second year of full time teaching, 40 hours a week on top of professional development every few weekends and after work meetings. The intense workload has led to a stiff body that barely had time to recharge and replenish. It wasn’t until another ordinary massage therapy visit that I leant about Yin Yoga. In the middle of the treatment, the massage therapist said: “You should try Yin Yoga. It works very well for people who have a stiff body, like you.” I’ve known Yoga for a while and I’ve tried it before, I just wasn’t interested. Somehow the massage therapist’s words stuck with me and that night, I searched Yin Yoga on Youtube. The next day, I googled my nearest yoga studio, bought an intro pass and attended my very first Yin Yoga class. I remember I had the feeling of pins and needles throughout the whole class. From then on, I became a dedicated yogi, attending yin yoga classes 5 days a week. After one year I decided to practice asana too and my yoga practice has not stopped since. Nadis The subtle body is directly connected to the physical body. It is invisible to the naked eyes but for some people, especially those who are clairvoyant, can see the subtle body. The subtle body is consisted of three parts: the nadis (channels of energy), the chakras (focal points or wheels of energy), and the aura (luminous energy that surrounds the body). Nadis are channels that carry energy, or prana, throughout the subtle body, very much like the blood vessels in the physical body. There are three primary nadis within the subtle body: -The IDA: associated with the left side of the body and with feminine energy. -The PINGALA: associated with the right side of the body and with masculine energy. -The SUSHUMNA: begins at the base of the spine and runs to the top of the head. This nadi is associated with enlightenment and where chakras are located. 　 Combining Reiki and Yoga practice The reason why I mentioned the nadis system is because the combination of Reiki and Yoga supports the flow of the prana. The practice of yoga can open your nadis and align the seven main chakras of the body, which allows Reiki energy go deeper to the physical body for the purpose of healing. In return, Reiki can free up stagnant energy through removing blockages and boosts the natural healing process in the body, which helps to create a balanced state of physical, mental, and spiritual wellness as well as to support the body to move more lightly with ease. Both Yoga and the system of Reiki typically associated with physical practice at first. Yoga in the West is often associated with asana practice, which is to build strength, flexibility and balance. Similarly, first emphasis of Reiki practice is at the physical level, as a hands-on healing modality. Reiki practitioners typically start practicing hand positions to channel energy to induce relaxation, and promote health. Reiki helps to improve mobility and flexibility by clearing stuck emotions and stagnant energy that might hold one back. The more the physical body opens up through yoga practice, the deeper Reiki can go for deeper healing. The combination of Reiki and yoga can be an effective way to help increase awareness, insight, wisdom and personal growth. It also promotes the restoration and enhancement of physical and emotional well-being. BOOK REIKI SESSION HERE

The Root Chakra (Muladhara)

The weather in the last two weeks in South East Queensland and New South Wales has been extreme and posed a lot of hardship in the community. People’s homes were lost and some lives were lost. I was not affected by the flood badly, but I could certainly feel the intensity in the air. I could feel the fear and chaos. I was very unsettled, watching heavy rain hitting the surroundings. During this difficult time, I found it very hard to be grounded. My root chakra was shaken. The essence of the root chakra is safety, stability, and groundedness. The root chakra is situated at the base of the spine. As the root chakra relates to the adrenal glands, when your survival needs are challenged or when you are stressed, your body will instantly go into the ‘fight or flight’ mode. The root chakra serves as an energy filtration system, bringing up supportive energy from the earth and releasing stagnant and toxic energy that you don’t need back into the earth. It is the foundation of energy channels. When you move through life with a balanced root chakra, you are calm and confident. You feel safe and protected. You are connected to your body and enjoy the physical world. You trust that what’s meant for you will come at the right time. When the root chakra is overactive, it is a sign indicating that you might be too obsessed with the physical world. You might also feel angry and greedy and you might be scared of not having enough of what you need. Overeating can also be a sign of an overactive root chakra. It is common that people might experience an underactive root chakra, especially for those who spend very little time in nature. Some indicators of an underactive root chakra also include anxiety, disconnection from the body, hard time going to sleep due to a racing mind and inability to focus. Looking back at the times during the flood, I definitely had an underactive root chakra. I was disconnected to my body. Watching all the pouring rain I started to think that how horrible it was outside. The quality of sleep was not good either. I still had a lot of thoughts when I lay in bed. I was feeling uncomfortable, day and night. So what did I do for relief? I practiced yoga for three days in a row. My body felt lighter one day after another and I could feel that my anxiety and fear were slowly fading away. Most importantly, I had a deep sense of connection to my body which allowed me to say that I was feeling grounded again. There might be a misconception that the higher chakra the better it is as the highest chakra connects to higher consciousness. It is not wrong that the crown chakra is related to the Divine, but the fact is all chakra is equally important in the system. Spiritual growth requires a strong foundation. This is why the root charka is so critical in the process of growth. If a tree does not have strong roots, how does it grow into one that can stand for a hundred years? While people look for enlightenment, do not forget to look after your root chakra, which is the foundation of spiritual transformation. Energy is always flowing instead of being static; therefore, the state of imbalance is not permanent just as the state of balance will not last forever if it is not supported actively. Tips For Balancing The Root Chakra Common tips of balancing the root chakra include connecting to nature (go for a walk), connecting to your body (movement activities ), chanting ‘LAM’ and visualizing red colour at the base of your spine and eating root vegetables. It is important to consume as less processed food as possible if you want to feel grounded. If you are interested in using crystal, picture jasper, black tourmaline and smoky quartz can be helpful. Herbs which has an earthy scent will also help to support the root chakra, for example, clove, cypress, patchouli and cedarwood. These are great for oil diffusers. Now, I am interested to know, what are your go-to practices for balancing the root chakra?

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The term “reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Reiki is a complementary therapy that guides energy throughout the body to promote the recipient’s self-healing abilities and encourage a healthy flow of energy. Please note that the Reiki practitioner does not cause the healing, nor are they the source of the healing energy; they’re a channel for the energy — similar to the way a garden hose acts as a channel for water. Benefits of Reiki: Reiki practice may help with a variety of physical and emotional problems, including insomnia, stress, depression, anxiety, and pain. Reiki gives the body a break from the stresses of daily life, helping the physical body return to a state of relaxation. Once in this state, the body is able to heal any damage brought on by stress, injury, or disease. However, as Reiki serves as a complementary therapy, it is NOT recommended to substitute anything prescribed by your healthcare practitioner. What to Expect for a Reiki Session? During a Reiki session, the Reiki practitioner will gently move their hands above or on the client’s clothed body in a series of hand positions to channel the life force energy. Each hand position is held for around 3 to 10 minutes or depending on the client’s needs, and typically focus on around the seven chakras and feet. Session times vary from 45 minutes to 60 minutes. At the beginning of the session, Sylvana might ask if anywhere in the body needs more focus. During the session, Sylvana will be guided to move her hands where she thinks the energy should flow. The experience of Reiki is subjective, changeable, and sometimes very subtle. People often experience heat in the practitioner’s hands, but sometimes the practitioner’s hands feel refreshingly cool. Other common experiences can be feeling very relaxed and some people will simply fall asleep. The Gentle Power of Reiki Reiki is cumulative and even people who don’t notice much the first time usually have progressively deeper experiences if they continue. Besides the immediate experience of the Reiki, you may notice other changes that continue to unfold as the day goes on: perhaps stronger digestion, a sense of being more centred and poised and less reactive, and sleeping deeply that night. After the session, Sylvana will check in with you and share any channelled messages that come up during Reiki. Different sets of oracle card decks are provided so you can pull a card for extra guidance. Tip: Please wear comfortable clothing. If this is your first time seeing Sylvana, please arrive 5-10 minutes early to complete a client intake form. I WANT TO KNOW MORE
