It is true, happiness is an inside job. As a Reiki Master Teacher, Empowerment, and Spiritual Life Coach, I am a firm believer in a holistic approach to healing. Reiki, the healing touch, is a positive, universal life force energy, also known as Chi, Prana or Ki, used to improve one's health and quality of life. The human body is made up of the mind, body and spirit. All three must be in alignment and in working order, so that a free flow of energy is achieved. I am here as a facilitator for the energy, a channel for which the higher vibrational energy flows through me and transferred to the recipient (you) using our seven main energy pathways known as chakras.
These invisible swirling wheels of energy that are located along the spine correspond to massive nerve centers in our bodies and correlate to particular emotions as well as physical organs and glands. Our bodies have an innate wisdom and when our chakras become disrupted or blocked due to stress, toxins, trauma, fears and other adverse influences the body sends us signals and the results can lead to illness, disease and imbalances in the body.
Through my practice and the power of intention, I work to release this energy and promote well-being on a mental, physical, emotional and spiritual level for my clients. I hold a safe space in order to help you reduce stress, anxiety and other alignments while restoring more peace and harmony into your life.
On a cellular level, our bodies and quartz crystals are both made up of mineral silicon dioxide, water, and salt. Because of this, we are naturally receptive to the vibrations of crystals as they transmit, reflect, store light and receive energy. When crystals are placed directly on our body, they have a powerful vibratory effect that surges from the crystal to us. According to the law of physics, thoughts direct energy and energy follows thought.
Crystal energy can help us to heal, focus our intent and manifest desires. There are many different types of crystals. Each type of crystal has its own unique characteristics and will help us in different ways.
According to crystal therapy, every crystal has its own unique electromagnetic charge (healing vibrations). These healing vibrations interact with the body's energy centers (chakras) to remove negative energies, blockages and restore a healthy flow through the body and mind.
While you are receiving Reiki, specifically chosen crystals are placed on your chakra points during the session. Some Reiki sessions are combined with healing crystals and this type of session is a stronger session.
The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to wheel or disk. In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. There are seven main chakras, which align the spine, starting from the base of the spine through to the crown of the head.
