Reiki & Holistic Healing 

 

"The wound is the place where the light enters you." ~ Rumi

 

 

     Reiki is a powerful holistic healing modality, a non-physical healing energy made up of life force energy that is guided by the higher intelligence "rei" or spiritually guided life force energy. It's a method of amplifying your inner healing energy known as "ki". This energy is also known as Chi, prana, Ti, odic force, orgone, bio plasma or life force energy. Science has now proven when ki completely leaves your body, your body dies. Healthy "ki" nourishes your physical body and helps to balance mental and emotional energy. Being that it is an intelligent force, Reiki flows to where it is needed and can not be controlled by the mind therefore it can not be misused and is not limited by the practitioner, although Reiki flows more intensely through practitioners who give themselves Reiki regularly and are attuned to Master level Reiki. 

     Ki responds to your thoughts and feelings flowing with strength or weakness. Negative thoughts and feelings are the main cause of restricting the flow of Ki. Western medicine recognizes the role played by the mind in creating illness and some doctors state that as much as 98% of illness is caused directly or indirectly by the mind. 

     The mind exists not only in the brain, but also through-out the body. The nervous system extends to every organ and tissue. It is also known that the mind extends outside the body in a subtle energy field 2 to 3 feet thick called the aura. Because of this, it is more appropriate to call our mind a mind/body as the mind and body are so closely linked.   "Dis-ease" in the aura causes disease in the body.

Many people find that Reiki is a form of divine healing love which helps them deepen their awareness of their innate spirituality. Reiki serves as a bridge between medicine, science and spirituality. It is safe and can't interfere with any medical treatments you may be receiving, it actually can support them. Your first Reiki session brings improvements and the benefits grow with repeated sessions. In emergency situations patients usually show improvements within a few minutes. 

 

Many have sought Reiki treatment to help them cope with a wide range of  health conditions, including:

• Cancer

• Heart disease

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Chronic pain

• Infertility

• Nero-degenerative disorders

• ADD/ADHD

• Autism/developmental delays

• HIV/AIDS

• Crohn’s Disease

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome

• Traumatic brain injury

• Emotional illness, including mild psychosis

• Fatigue syndromes

• End-of-life care and bereavement

     

The following are commonly reported benefits of Reiki: 

• Relaxation

• Pain management

• Reduced anxiety

• Reduced depression

• Improved sleep

• Improved digestion

• Enhanced well-being

• Stronger self-esteem

• Support for substance abuse recovery

• Accelerated surgical recovery

• Reduced side effects from radiation, chemotherapy and Rx meds

• Greater self awareness

• Greater ease and satisfaction in relationships

• Heightened intuition

     

     Although currently the evidence for most of these benefits is anecdotal, there is research data showing Reiki treatment can be effective for relaxation, pain management, reduced anxiety, reduced depression, and enhanced well-being.

     When you receive your Reiki healing from me, you’ll lie fully clothed on a table while I place my hands lightly on or above your body beginning at your head moving to your feet spending more time anywhere I intuitively feel more attention is needed. Although Reiki needs nothing else but an open channel to flow, I often use crystals, relaxing music and aromatherapy during sessions to enhance your session and open other channels.

     If you would like to become attuned to Reiki, I have courses for Reiki I so you may practice Reiki self-treatment and offer Reiki treatment informally to family, friends, and pets. Many experience physical symptoms of energy in their palms after the first attunement including tingling, coolness or heat. Your Reiki I course includes an overview of the history of Reiki, hand placements and self and group practice.

     If you would like to become a Reiki practitioner, expand your energy channels and have completed Reiki I, I offer Reiki II courses. You will receive the Reiki symbols connecting you more deeply to the universal energy, as well as to draw on the qualities the symbols represent. This includes the ability to provide distance Reiki, or send healing energy to individuals anywhere and transcends time. Reiki II also includes practice in drawing the symbols, invoking their qualities, as well as distance healing.

     Reiki III or master level is traditionally considered the teacher's level, a practitioner who has received the energy and knowledge to attune new Reiki practitioners. Many receive the Master attunement, along with the corresponding symbol. Becoming a Reiki Master also represents a deep commitment to the Reiki practice and significant time should pass between achieving the Second Degree status and Master Level. If you are interested in becoming a Reiki master, contact me as this is a two day course.

Chakra Balancing 

 

     Chakras are wheels of energy where consciousness and matter that are throughout the body, meet. There are seven main chakras aligned with the spine starting from the base of the spine through the crown of the head. The energy of the chakras is called Prana, it is vital life force, which keeps us vital, healthy and alive. The seven main chakras contain massive nerve centers, major organs as well as our psychological, emotional and spiritual states of being. It is essential they stay open, aligned and fluid so the energy can flow and we remain healthy. When one Chakra is blocked, the other chakras begin to compensate and either become overactive or under-active.

  

The seven main chakras are:

• 1st, Root or Manipura Chakra

Sits at the base of your spine, at your tailbone. 

Physical imbalances in the root chakra include problems in the legs, feet, rectum, tailbone, immune system, male reproductive parts and prostrate gland. Those with imbalances here are also likely to experience issues of degenerative arthritis, knee pain, sciatica, eating disorders, and constipation. 

Emotional imbalances include feelings affecting our basic survival needs: money, shelter and food; ability to provide for life’s necessities. 

When this chakra is in balance, you feel supported, a sense of connection and safety to the physical world, and grounded. 

The lesson of this chakra is self-preservation; we have a right to be here. 

 

• 2nd, Sacral or Svadisthana Chakra

Located two inches below your navel. 

Physical imbalances include sexual and reproductive issues, urinary problems, kidney dysfunctions, hip, pelvic and low back pain. 

Emotional imbalances include our commitment to relationships and our ability to express our emotions. Also, our ability to have fun, play based on desires, creativity, pleasure, sexuality.  Imbalance produces fears of impotence, betrayal, and addictions. 

When this chakra is balanced, we have the ability to take risks, we are creative, and are committed.  We are passionate, sexual and outgoing.  

The lesson of this chakra is to honor others. 

 

• 3rd, Solar Plexus or Muladhara Chakra

Located three inches above your navel. 

Physical imbalances include digestive problems, liver dysfunction, chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, stomach ulcers, pancreas and gallbladder issues, colon diseases. 

Emotional imbalances include issues of personal power and self-esteem, our inner critic comes out. Fears of rejection, criticism, and physical appearances. 

When this chakra is balanced, we feel self-respect and self-compassion. We feel in control, assertive, and confident. 

The lesson of this chakra is self-acceptance. 

 

• 4th, Heart or Anahata Chakra

Located at the heart. 

Physical imbalances include asthma, heart disease, lung disease, issues with breasts, lymphatic systems, upper back and shoulder problems, arm and wrist pain. 

Emotional imbalances include issues of the heart; over-loving to the point of suffocation, jealousy, abandonment, anger, bitterness, and fear of loneliness. 

When this chakra is balanced we feel joy, gratitude, love and compassion.  Forgiveness flows freely, and trust is gained. 

The lesson of this chakra is I Love. 

​

• 5th, Throat or Visuddha Chakra

Located at the throat. 

Physical imbalances include thyroid issues, sore throats, laryngitis, TMJ, ear infections, ulcers, any facial problems (chin, cheek, lips, tongue problems) neck and shoulder pain. 

Emotional imbalances include issues of self-expression through communication, both spoken or written. Fear of no power or choice. No willpower or being out of control. 

When this chakra is balanced, we have free flowing of words, expression, communication. We are honest and truthful yet firm. We are good listeners. 

The lesson of this chakra is to speak up and let your voice be heard. 

 

• 6th, Third Eye or Anja Chakra

Located in the middle of the eyebrows, in the center of the forehead. 

Physical imbalances include headaches, blurred vision, sinus issues, eyestrain, seizures, hearing loss, hormone function. 

Emotional imbalances include issues with moodiness, volatility, and self-reflection.  There is an inability to look at ones own fears or to learn from others.  Day-dreaming occurs often and feelings of living in a world with an exaggerated imagination. 

When this chakra is balanced we feel clear, focused, and can determine between truth and illusion. We are open to receiving wisdom and insight. 

The lesson of this chakra is to see the big picture. 

​

•7th, Crown or Sahasrara Chakra

Located at the top of the head. 

Physical imbalance includes depression, inability to learn, sensitivity to light, sound, environment. 

Emotional imbalances include issues with self-knowledge and greater power. Imbalances arise from rigid thoughts on religion and spirituality, constant confusion, carrying prejudices, “analysis paralysis", and fear of alienation. 

When this chakra is balanced, we live in the present moment. We have an unshakeable trust in our inner guidance. 

​

     During your Chakra balancing, you will lay and relax on my table fully clothed. I may use crystals, music, aromatherapy and visualization techniques to cleanse and re-balance your chakras. I suggest certain activities for you to participate in to keep them open and balanced.

Past Life Regression

​

     Past life regression therapy allows you to explore how you've lived in other lives. It can help you better understand yourself, your habits, and your desires, possibly conquer phobias and nightmares, process grief, create forgiveness, and resolve some of your life’s mysteries.

 

     It can feel like you are walking through a portal to other worlds in which you have lived before. Or possibly you'll feel like you’re riding on a dimensional roller coaster, allowing you to see your life from another perspective. 

​

• Past Life Regression Therapy Uses Hypnosis

Accessing your past life’s memories or any distant memories needs you to focus inward and delve into the subconscious mind through hypnosis, a form of focused awareness. You will be in a light trance state, still aware of your surroundings, while at the same time completely engaged in your past life’s memory.

​

• Can Everyone Be Regressed?

As with anything, past regression therapy is not for everyone. Before your first session I make sure to get to know you and your personal history. The sessions will be most successful if you provide me with a feeling of any issues you may wish to address in your session and ensure the therapy is right for you.

There is no way for sure we can know if you can access a past life memory until we try. Success is about your soul’s readiness, your openness, and your willingness to change, as well as any unknowns that may be on your session day. Each person is different, so each session is different. 

​

• What Can Result from My Session?

You may gain many new perspectives such as helping you understand and resolve current relationships, unravel emotional problems including phobias and compulsions, and heal physical symptoms. All from re-experiencing and processing a past memory.

​

• How Many Sessions Are Suggested?

Some people can find one session gives them a massive shock of insight and changes their perspective. It can take time to process these changes as this is not talk therapy; rather, it’s a form of hypnosis that goes deeper. 

Unlike regular therapy, it is not necessary for you to attend weekly or monthly sessions. Some find another session a few months or a year or more later can help intensify their understanding and continue the healing process. 

​

• Break the Linear Mindset

Many grow up with the belief that life is like a timeline, moving forward and learning as we go. Only part of this is true. You may have been a hero in one lifetime, and an alcoholic the next. The linear belief is unfair. However, the universe gives us what we need to learn the right lessons and reach expansion in our souls. No lesson is greater than another; all lessons lead toward compassion, growth, and enlightenment. 

​

• Not Every Problem is About a Past Life

Many of us suffer from fears and phobias to the point where it seems to be a natural part of life. The origin of these fears and phobias are not necessarily from a past life. Even if you cannot remember a specific incidence of trauma, almost all fears can be found to have a current life origin. 

​

• You May Not Have Even Been Human

Prepare yourself. Yes, it may not be a common thing, however some have found themselves in past lives, looking down at their body, to be not human, and not on earth. If you are not expecting it, it can be a bit freaky, but otherwise fun. Sometimes you may visit a time in-between lives and tis can add much needed insight also, the key is to stay open to the lesson.

​

• Parallel Lives

When given the suggestion, “Let’s take you back to a past life that’s affecting you today,” 1 in 5 may go to a life they currently live in another body and another part of the country. By healing that issue you are helping both lives, and perhaps more parallel lives as well. You do not have to believe in concepts such as reincarnation at all to feel this effect. To go further and think you may actually be living more than one life at a time may open up in you a whole new fascinating understanding of the world.

​

• You Were Not Always Good

You may have been an alcoholic in a past life or much worse. This simply means there is a reason you recounted this past, and a reason why you are shown that information which means something healing comes from knowing that experience. With the bad means the healing good takes work. Life is about balance. We are both good and bad and yet neither because even this concept is our perception and judgement of a behavior. It will take time to figure out where we need to be in each life to learn the lesson we were meant to learn.

​

• Sorry, She Was Probably Your Mother Many Times Before

There are a few people in your life that will always reincarnate with you and another few that show up a lot. Some may be those you really do not like or get along with. They may even play the same role in some of those lives, whether you like it or not.

​

• The Unexplainable Moments

There are a few things we cannot explain that may happen during a regression session.

     ✴︎Strange feelings of heaviness all down one side of the body—phenomenon of this sort can be assumed to be injuries suffered by one of your past lives. If you suffered something painful, and it happened to come up in one of your past life memories it is unlikely you will physically feel it to that extent in your session. You may experience a physical sensation of pain or strange feeling in a part of your body as a sign or symbol of what happened to you in this memory you are recalling. Remember, you are completely safe, and 

     ✴︎ Your past life regression memory showed you as a man with blue eyes. Blue eyes are a recessive trait, and you have brown eyes though the image of the man you may or may not have been was clearly blue-eyed. 

     ✴︎ A recurring image. It might feel like something out of a Hollywood movie, yet feel very real as you experience your regression session.

​

• You May Have Been Famous Or Close To Someone Who Was

You may believe you are the reincarnation of Ghandi, Elvis Presley, or Abraham Lincoln perhaps? Your affinity for a particular historical figure may not be because you were them in a past life; rather, you were associated with them. Perhaps a member of Cleopatra’s court? Or a friend of Anne Boleyn? Famous more with a connection than actually famous… but you never know.

 

​

​

Tarot Readings

​

     Tarot is a deck of cards used for predicting the future and guided meditation. Many times they show truths your subconscious knows but your conscious mind is either hesitant, uncertain or resistant to accept or believe. They are the physical manifestation of what your soul already knows.

Young Living Essential Oils Raindrop Technique

 

     The Young Living Raindrop Technique is a method of using one of their products called Vita Flex, reflexology, massage techniques, and essential oils applied on various locations of the body to bring it into structural and electrical alignment. It is designed to bring balance to the body with its relaxing and mild application. It will help align the energy centers of the body and release them if blocked, without using hard pressure or trying to force the body to change, which should never be done.

     

Some of the benefits of the Raindrop Technique are:

• Balance and Re-aligning the Energy Centers of the Body – The combination of techniques brings electrical and structural alignment to the body. The essential oil blend of Valor helps the body align and is often referred to as "chiropractor in the bottle".

• Non-Manipulative Technique – No manipulation occurs as in chiropractic procedures. The oils help support the body to come back into harmony by opening energy flow throughout the body.

• Reduce Stress and Minor Anxiety - Not only can the oils enhance positive emotions such as joy and happiness, they can also help us release negative emotions that are subconsciously stored on a cellular level. 

• Aid the Body's Natural Response to Irritation and Injury – Thyme and Oregano support the immune, respiratory, nervous, and other body systems*. They are strong antioxidants.

• Eases Muscle Discomfort after Exercise – Muscles that are tense and in minor discomfort due to exercise will also benefit. Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress and Peppermint essential oils may reduce tension.

• Emotional Well Being and Release – Essential oils effect the limbic system where emotions are stored in the "brain's emotional computer".

• Help Detox the Body Systems – The oils that are high in phenols may cleanse cellular receptor sites and enhance cleansing of the body.

​

     During a session you will lay on your stomach on a massage table while I apply a series of oils to your feet and back.  I'll use the Vita Flex Technique and Feather stroking to disburse the oils into your skin. 

   

     * With all healing techniques, results are unique to each individual and as with everything in life, intention plays a huge part in your health and success of any treatment. It is strongly recommended that you drink lots of purified water after any treatment for at least 48-72 hours. Many holistic healing modalities have been around and successfully documented for thousands of years.  It has been introduced in the west but has never left the far east and indigenous communities. If you want to improve your health and life, its time to try holistic health alternatives. Science is beginning to prove what many healers already knew, the time is here to open your mind, awaken your soul and reconnect to healthy energy. Your mind, body and soul will thank you for it.

Ionic Detoxification

 

     Everyone has positive and negative ions in their body and it is important to cleanse our bodies of the the positive ions that have a negative effect on your body. Ionic detoxification is based on osmosis, an ionater in the water-filled foot bath releases ions into the water. The polarity is reversed periodically, creating positive and negative ions, which are then taken up into your body through your pores. Your cells are then energized by the ions in the water, which encourages your cells to release oil, acid, fat, heavy metals, and other debris and waste which has accumulated in your cells and bloodstream. As your cells release the toxins, again through osmosis, the toxins are carried out of your feet and back into the water.

     During an 30-60 minute session you sit in a chair with your feet in the water and relax as the water begins to change color. Benefits of detoxifying may include:
• Removing toxins and body waste products that can cause health problems
• Heavy metal removal
• Faster recovery time from illness, accident or surgery
• Reduced inflammation and fluid retention
• Enhanced nutrient absorption
• Increased oxygen levels and energy
• Inactivation of viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus
• Improved sleep and relief from tension
• Positive effect on Immune System
• Removal of waste products
• Helps clear up bad skin
• Rejuvenates and energizes your whole body
• Positive effect on weight loss (assists in weight loss)
• Seasonal allergy relief
• Symptomatic relief from edema, gout, swollen joints, pain and headache.
• Safe for children 4 years and up

 

     After a session most people experience feeling lighter, with a greater sense of overall well-being, increased energy and improved focus. Many people with pain, edema, gout, swollen or deteriorating joints report considerable symptomatic relief from their Detox Foot Spa session(s).
     *Even though you may feel this relief, it should be noted that the Detox Foot Spa treatments do not heal or cure diseases and conditions directly. The role of the Detox Foot Spa cleanse system should be viewed as that of a relaxing alternative therapy for reducing unwanted toxins from the body.  It is only an aid in the healing process carried out by your immune system.  The Detox Foot Spa detoxification and cleanse technology is only a valuable way of assisting the body to detoxify its organs and tissues. This detoxification and cleansing process aids in the healing process carried out by our immune system.
