About Reiki

Reiki is an ancient Japanese relaxation technique that gently works to align your body, mind, and spirit. Although there are many different stories about how Reiki originated, one thing that cannot be argued is its profound healing effects. Reiki is the hands-on channeling of energy from the Reiki Master/Practitioner to recipient. The healing energy used in Reiki is the energy that the Reiki Master received in an attunement. Everyone and everything is made up of energy. Therefore, Reiki is used to strengthen and cleanse your energy field, also called your aura.

You may feel extremely tranquil, more positive, pain relief, a full night's sleep, flushing out of toxins, a strengthened immune system, confident, safe, and healthy after receiving Reiki. With 1 out of every 5 Americans suffering from stress-related health problems, who couldn't use a little more relaxation? The majority of the medical community is now recognizing Reiki as a wonderful and powerful healing modality. Simply put, there are no negative side effects of Reiki. You can only benefit from it. Reiki works on a holistic level because it will not cover up symptoms of another problem but rather work from the roots of them to generate healing. It's irrelevant what religion you practice, your age, your health status; Reiki is truly for everyone.

About Chakra Balancing

Chakra Balancing is bringing a state of balance to your energy bodies (physical body, emotional body, etc). All living things are made up of seven main chakras; Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Root. The word chakra means "spinning wheel of light."

Each of those chakras has specific characteristics, which affect you on a physical and emotional level. For instance, your Third Eye relates to your unconscious (i.e your dreams, your deepest thoughts and feelings, your intuition). When your third eye is overactive you may experience frequent headaches, migraines, and have a trouble relaxing. Besides being over or under active, there may be "blocks" in your chakras as well caused from negative belief patterns, past experiences, and so on. Chakra balancing uses healing life force. Chinese medicine calls it Chi, yogis call is Prana, but it all refers to the same healing life force.

Use chakra balancing to feel energized and completely centered.

About Meditation

In its most basic definition meditation is the stillness of the mind. It's the quieting of thoughts, worries, deadlines, to-do lists, etc for a period of time ranging from 5 minutes to hours, accompanied by breath awareness. I believe meditation is the foundation of a healthy body and mind. If from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep your conscious mind is continuously making decisions, running errands, working, exercising, and so on, it takes a toll on your well-being. Give yourself and your mind the peacefulness, stillness, and simplicity of meditation.

It's natural when first beginning to meditate for your mind to go in every direction possible, but simply acknowledge your thought, and then go back to only paying attention to your breath. Breathing is probably the most natural thing our bodies do for us and meditation teaches us to pay attention to how we breathe. Full breathes in AND out help high blood pressure, anxiety, and sharpen memory and mind. Even just five or ten minutes of meditation a day will leave you feeling refreshed and make your time to work and be active even more productive with a fresh, centered outlook.

About Crystal Healing

During my Reiki sessions I may place a crystal on top of your chakras to provide continuous healing energy. Crystal healing is another holistic method because crystals all form from hot magma. After thousands of years, the magma cools and molds in different gemstones, rocks, and minerals. The energy within crystals is healing Earth energy. The connection between crystals and their associative healing properties has been told and passed on for thousands of generations. The United States now finally recognizes what has been in existence and practiced in other part of the world since the beginning of time. The most popular and widely accessible crystals to start out using are clear quartz, rose quartz, citrine, amethyst, and hematite. Crystals are sources of much healing energy and power. I find they work best when used in conjunction with other holistic remedies, yet their healing affects should not be underestimated. Be creative with how you choose to use crystals. For example, you can wear them as jewelry, placed under your pillow to help you sleep, on your work desk to keep you focused, etc.

*Crystals should be placed near a window on the day and night of a full moon to cleanse and recharge their energies.

About Spiritual Aromatherapy

Smell has a profound effect on our well-being and state of mind. When we inhale a scent it stimulates our olfactory nerves causing the limbic system (deals with emotions, memory, and learning) of our brain to respond. The particular scent triggers physiological responses. We may feel peaceful after breathing in fresh lavender or we may feel energized after lighting an orange scented candle.

It's no secret that smell has a direct influence on how we feel. Aromatherapy is a wonderful additional holistic therapy to use. Spiritual Aromatherapy can consist of anything from essential oils directly on the skin to incense burning to essential oil air diffusers.

*Can be especially helpful to ease depression, induce relaxation, and energize yourself. Also excellent for house and space blessings/purifications.
