What is Reiki? A Journey into Energy Healing
Feb 19, 2025
I remember the first time I experienced Reiki. I had no idea what to expect—only that I was searching for something deeper, something beyond the physical world of symptoms and struggles. At that moment in my life, I was carrying so much—emotionally, mentally, and physically. But when I laid down and allowed myself to simply receive Reiki, something shifted. A warmth spread through my body, a peace I hadn’t felt in years settled over me, and I knew... this was something special.
That experience was just the beginning. Reiki became my gateway into the world of energy healing, the starting point of an expansive journey that would not only change my life but the way I support others on their healing path.
So, What Exactly is Reiki?
Reiki is a form of energy medicine—a gentle, yet profoundly powerful healing modality that helps bring balance to the mind, body, and spirit. The word itself breaks down into two parts:
Rei = Universal Life Force
Ki = Energy
At its core, Reiki is the practice of channeling this universal energy to support healing. It’s closest to meditation in the way it calms the nervous system, relaxes the body, and clears energetic blockages. The beauty of Reiki is that it does not require belief to work—it simply meets you where you are, gently restoring balance and flow.
Why Reiki?
Life is full of moments that weigh us down. Stress, anxiety, trauma, illness—they create energetic blockages that keep us stuck. Reiki works like a deep exhale, allowing the body to reset, realign, and remember its natural ability to heal.
It’s a completely safe and non-invasive practice, making it perfect for pregnancy, postpartum, children, and even those navigating chronic illness. And unlike other healing modalities, Reiki can only bring positive energy—it cannot harm.
The Many Benefits of Reiki
I’ve personally seen Reiki:
- Bring deep relaxation and relief from pain and anxiety
- Help balance emotions and calm the nervous system
- Improve sleep, digestion, and overall well-being
- Speed up physical healing and reduce inflammation
- Ease the side effects of medications and treatments like chemotherapy
- Strengthen intuition and enhance creativity
- Support emotional breakthroughs surrounding fertility, childbirth, and postpartum healing
- Offer profound peace for those in their final transition
But more than anything, Reiki connects you to yourself. It reminds you of the energy that moves through and around you, bringing you back home to your body in the most gentle, loving way.
What Does a Distance Reiki Session with Me Feel Like?
Many people wonder, Does Reiki work if we’re not in the same room? And the answer is a resounding YES! Some of the most profound healings I’ve facilitated have happened from a distance—because energy knows no limits.
During a virtual Reiki session, we meet over video chat from the comfort of your own home. The session is about one hour long, and here’s what it looks like:
-
We start with a conversation. If it’s your first time, I’ll walk you through what to expect and answer any questions. We’ll discuss what you’re feeling, what you need support with, and what your intentions are for the session.
-
I intuitively select crystals and set healing frequencies. I work with specific crystals chosen for your energy and incorporate a Healy frequency device to infuse your session with harmonizing vibrations for deeper clarity, healing, and release.
-
You get cozy. I’ll have you find a comfortable space, preferably lying down, so you can fully relax and receive.
-
Chakra balancing and guided meditation. We begin with an interactive chakra activation, allowing the Reiki energy to flow more freely. Then, I guide you through a grounding meditation to help you connect deeply with your body, your higher self, and the healing energy available to you.
-
The Reiki healing begins. As you rest in this peaceful, meditative state, I channel Reiki energy to support your healing process. Healing frequency music plays in the background, helping bring both your conscious and subconscious mind into alignment.
-
We integrate and reflect. Once the Reiki session ends, I gently guide you back to full awareness, and we discuss anything that came up during the session. This is where we piece together the energetic shifts that took place and explore how you can continue integrating the healing in your daily life.
I often hear from clients that Reiki leaves them feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply at peace—like something heavy has been lifted, even if they didn’t realize they were carrying it.
