My Approach
Reiki is an incredible practice that allows the mind, body and spirit to open and self-heal. My mom, who is my teacher, has written clearly on her website, about what Reiki is, if you’re new to the idea.
Reiki energy flows through me for your highest good. It does not come from me, but rather I am a transmitter, conducting the energy through my intentions. My overarching intention is for the highest good for all in the progression and evolution of humanity. When we work together, my intention is to release you of the patterns and pain of the past so that your present and future are free, and you can step forward towards the life you want. Sometimes we release something that takes us a baby-step forward, and sometimes we get a great leap – but it is always forward.
I have taken a hands-off approach to Reiki, which is unique in a technique that is traditionally very hands on. I’ve developed my practice primarily working with my family, which consisted of my various out of state family members, and then, my kids. I used Distant Reiki when I was working with my family, and when I had kids, it was the easiest way to work with them, too. It’s awfully hard to get infants or toddlers to lie quietly on a table for a full Reiki treatment!
Over time, I was led to work heavily with emotions, which led me to the understanding that I am an Empath, which led me to the ability to release and heal emotional traumas. I continued to be led by the issues that arose in my own life, and everything that came up somehow related back to something that I was so incredibly “stuck” about. What I came to understand, is that all the digging I’d done through my life, finding all the events and experiences that had made me feel bad about myself in some way, was only releasing the issues from the surface. No matter how much I released from my memory, certain things just wouldn’t shift. That’s when I started being led into working with past lives and ancestral patterns.
When we begin a session, we’ll start by talking a little about what’s going on in your life right now. I can assume that there is some issue that inspired you to reach out to me – something that feels decidedly stuck in your life, right at this moment. Because everything happens in patterns, we will start by asking our guides where to begin to release this pattern from your life. We may need to begin with whatever is happening currently, with your past, or with a past life. After that, we’ll follow our guidance to the beginning of the pattern. Often, we will be led to start with a past life, because that’s where we can find the first instance of the pattern that is manifesting currently.
Sometimes, we are led to a place that doesn’t immediately make sense, but we need to trust that guidance, because there are so often connections that only become apparent after we start digging into it more deeply. Releasing the past is like allowing a rose to open and bloom. Rose petals open in layers, and in an order – the outer petals always open first. Sometimes, we are bound so tightly, so trapped in fear, that we struggle over and over with the same issues, holding tight and refusing to open. Other times, almost all of our petals have opened, but one or two petals are still held tightly in place. Either way, we will work gently and gradually at releasing what is holding us back from opening and blooming.
You can expect me to be casual, and comfortable, and easy to talk to. There is no judgment in this work, and I am only grateful for your willingness to let go of whatever holds you back. I say this a lot, because it’s really important… When you face your demons and free them from the past, it frees you and opens clear paths to your future. But you should also know, that by allowing that pain to dissolve, it releases from the collective consciousness of humanity, which frees us all.
