Frequently Asked Questions
1) Reiki Energy Balancing
-
Reiki is a gentle form of energy work that utilizes the universal, omnipresent life force which flows in and around every living thing. The vibration of this energy is akin to that of unconditional love.
Within the sacred space of a Reiki session, I act as a conduit for the energy to be channeled and focused into your energy field. When the vibration of your personal electromagnetic field meets the purifying frequency of Reiki, many blocks and densities within your subtle and physical bodies will naturally begin to dissolve. All your systems will instinctively shift toward harmony and balance.
This circulation and release of energy can trigger deep relaxation, a clarity of mind and emotions, a peaceful sense of grounding, a heightened connection to joy, an experience of ease, an opening of trust and the illumination of profound insights.
-
The lightness of energy transcends time and physical space, which allows Reiki to be "sent" to anyone in the world from any location. Think of it like radio waves traveling invisibly through the air. Gently focused intention and attention is all it takes to tune-in to a specific “station” and transmit healing from one person to another.
-
It is not necessary to do anything different or special in order to receive the healing benefits from a distance session. However, it can be a profound experience to sit or lay in meditation and feel the energy as it is channeled to you. We also recommended that you do not schedule your service during a time when you know you will be driving, operating heavy machinery or be otherwise occupied in deep concentration.
-
No. Reiki itself is simply a neutral, loving frequency being channeled into your energy field. I practices an enhanced form of Reiki which combines clairsentient and clairvoyant techniques in order to tune into data being emitted from within your personal energy field.
These insights will be relevant to the issues you present at the start of the session. Any intentions or details you share regarding your issues act as illumination along the pathway of information. I can then gaze into the thread of possibilities related to your issues to gain perspectives and reflections that support your growth and well-being.

5) Workshops
-
A Reiki attunement is a ceremony of energetic rites passed down to you from a Certified Reiki Master Teacher. The process creates a pathway or portal in which wisdom and symbols of the Usui Reiki tradition are channeled and transferred directly into your aura and electromagnetic field. Through the power of intention and ritual, an attunement permanently raises the frequency of your subtle body, immediately triggering densities and energetic blocks to dissolve, creating a more clear connection to spirit and your Higher Self. Each attunement received is like raising the dimmer on a lightbulb. The results can be palpable and profound, leading to a more clear connection to intuition, a more grounded interconnectedness with the world and an incredible lightness of being.
-
There is no standard protocol for the amount of time to be spent between each level. I have known people to receive all three attunements within weeks of each other while others spend months or even years between each attunement. Personally, I waited four weeks between Level One and Two, then 18 months between Level Two and Three. Our interaction with the subtle world and with Reiki energy is unique and personal. With the guidance of your Higher Self, your Reiki teacher and spirit, you will know when it is time to progress.
