No Two Sessions are the Same...

I held space for a beautiful friend yesterday and the session was incredible. The energy was intense as she is working through a lot of 'stuff', but the Reiki did it's job and she released a lot of blockages and stuck energy. She has had a few sessions now and she was a bit surprised at the intense experience. Previously they have been very gentle and very relaxing. Reiki energy only gives you what you need at that time and yesterday she needed to be reminded that self-care and prioritising herself when life gets tough, is so important. She has been neglecting this lately and it catches up with you in your mind, body and spirit.

At the end of a Reiki session I invite clients to pull an oracle card and often find that these provide even more insight into where you are and they prompt you to think about the messages they provide. Yesterday's card initially seemed to not be that relevant, but just the title 'standstill' told me loud and clear that my friend needs to literally stand still. Take a moment, breath, centre and stop the chatter of the outside world for a while.

I encourage drinking lots of water after any Reiki session to help flush through any toxins that are released through the energy shifts, but also because it is just so good for your body!

Journaling is an excellent way of getting things out of your head and can really help to process what is going on in life and just by physically putting pen to paper you think more clearly and can often find answers or make sense of things. Equally, talking things through with a friend is very therapeutic, even if they just listen and allow you the space to just offload. I am always available to speak to after a session if you need me or anything arises that you want to discuss.

Reiki is always gentle but Holy Fire Reiki is a more powerful energy and is amazing for rebalancing, clearing blocks, realigning your energy centres and is very relaxing. When you have a more challenging session it is useful to have a few more sessions at weekly intervals just to keep the energy flowing until you feel yourself again. If I have let my own 'stuff' build up and haven't practiced my own self-care, I find that a session like my friend experienced can actually leave me feeling like I have done a workout. This is commonly called a healing crisis where you feel a little under the weather - headaches, muscle soreness and tiredness. This passes just like post-exercise soreness does. If you can avoid taking pain killers to alleviate these feelings then it truly allows your body to heal itself fully - but if you are struggling without, then obviously do what is right for you.

The free sessions are filling up now and I am delighted to be offering the opportunity for you to experience the beautiful healing energy of Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki, free of charge. However, there are only a limited number of these free sessions left so if you haven't already grabbed yours then do it now!!
