How did you get into Reiki and what drew you to it?
Reiki wasn’t something I just stumbled upon. It felt like an awakening and I’ve been fascinated by the energy that flows through all things, living and non-living. You see it in a way in which the energy flows; in a way in which plants reach for sunlight or how a box is a box until you break it down. In our fast-paced world, we often neglect this connection to ourselves, we neglect our life force. Reiki offered a way for me to reconnect to it and tap into a wellspring of balance and well-being that resides within each of us. It feels profound, almost supernatural, and the idea of channeling that energy to promote healing and myself and others ignited a spark in me. It’s not just my practice, it’s my purpose.
Can you walk me through one of your healing sessions?
One of my healing sessions typically starts by creating a calm and relaxing environment, which includes calming music and aromatherapy. Then I guide the client to set an intention or goal for the session and to take 3 to 4 deep cleansing breaths before we begin. Usually, the client lies down comfortably, fully clothed, on the massage table, if they’re able. Then, I gently place my hands in various positions on their body or slightly above it, depending on their preference. When I’m finished, I give them time to integrate the experience and offer water. The water helps release the toxins. In the end, we might discuss the sensations that they felt and the sensations that I felt to determine if they need and want to come back for another session.
Can you share a memorable success story?
I wouldn’t be able to single out one memorable success story as all my sessions are success stories in their own merit, even if not all the clients got what they were looking for. However, all of them got a deep sense of relaxation. That’s a success story to me! It’s about turning negative energy into positive creation and getting your mind, body, soul/spirit, and emotion in balance. Oftentimes that takes more than one session to balance out, but the initial session is a great starting point.
What sets you apart from your colleagues?
What sets me apart might be my belief that everyone can benefit from Reiki regardless of their background or their beliefs. Reiki promotes relaxation and stress reduction, which are valuable for everyone in today’s world. It can also support emotional well-being and improve your sleep quality. It can even boost your body’s natural healing abilities. Another thing that is somewhat unique about me is that I also incorporate crystal healing into my Reiki sessions if requested, as well as aromatherapy. I will also soon be offering guided morning meditations and group Reiki sessions.
You also run the HM & C Shop. What can people find in it?
Yes, I run the HandMade and Crafted Shop or the HM & C Shop. Currently, I offer handmade items such as necklaces, pyro graphs, and painted wall hangings, as well as hippie sunglasses. I will be adding eye pillows that can be used in Reiki sessions or any other sessions of your choosing. You can also use them for relaxation. On top of that, I also plan to start offering crystals and other Reiki-related things. I also have plans to start making monthly Reiki boxes.
Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
Whether someone is seeking deep relaxation, managing chronic pain, or simply looking for a way to connect with their inner well-being, Reiki can be a powerful tool on their journey. I will be setting up shop once again at the Beauty Alchemy, starting on April 15th. I’m located in the Hocking Hills of Ohio, which is Logan, OH, and you can reach me via text at 740-605-0594, via email at [email protected], or at my website www.thereikichamber.net.
