What is intuitive reiki and what is distance reiki?

Reiki is based on the idea that everything in the universe is made of shared energy. As an Intuitive Reiki practitioner, with a client’s consent, I tap into their energy and I am guided in exploring what energetic blocks or barriers are stopping the energy flowing as it should. Sometimes I also feel on my own body where to work on you. Energy and white light are sent to wherever it is needed. 

This process is collaborative, between client - practitioner- client’s spiritual/energetic healing team. The client's part in the session is simply being there, being open to the work and just relaxing.

Sometimes in a session, a client is not quite ready to 'let go' of something, and we (or the client) may need to come back to this particular 'something' another time. The session will then focus on what we can shift, clear or soften.  In our debrief we will talk about what came up, what was done and  often I will provide suggestions for things they can do themselves to work on this (for example, it could be a free online guided meditation exercise). 

What is an example of not being able to 'let go'?

A client feeling anger or hurt from a past event. The client may feel if they 'let go' of the anger or hurt, their suffering was for naught and/or that the person/s who were behind the event will 'get away with it' with no consequences.  

What do you mean energetic blocks or barriers?

Sometimes there may be inner child healing that we need to do. I will be guided by your higher self and your spiritual healing team, as we help clear and heal. Sometimes we may have old programming or schema on how to be or do, but these are outdated and now hinder, not help you. Sometimes we can also pick up energy that isn't ours and this may be also cleared in session.

Ok, I think I have an idea on what you do, but what is distance reiki?

Distance reiki is when a reiki practitioner connects to a client,s energy and does the work, without being in the same room/town or country as the client. We are all connected and distance isn't a barrier to being able affect someone's energy. Science even talks about theories such as quantum entanglement, where distance is not a barrier to being able affect another (they do speak about particles).

Clients often lead busy lives, and sometimes traveling to appointments is an extra stress clients do not need. Being able to relax at home, seated or preferably laying down, means it is so much easier to make time for you and your needs.

Do you use anything else in session?

I use what I am intuitively drawn to use, primarily I work with reiki/white light. I may be drawn to use things like sound to help shift energy/blocks or crystals. Sometimes in session I drawn upon healed aspects of yourself to assist. When working on inner child wounds, I often draw upon older/mature healed aspects of yourself to come in and help heal the inner child. It is very powerful work, as you trust you. It is a joy to see the wounded inner child opening up, and feeling safe to be held, and to be loved unconditionally by the mature you. Sometimes at the end of session I may feel drawn to pull an oracle or tarot card. If you are not comfortable with oracle or tarot cards, please let me know and we can skip that. You are the focus of the session and it is important that you feel comfortable.

You work intuitively, so what if there are personal experiences I don’t want you to know about or see, in session? 

The session is a collaboration between myself, you and your healing team. I won't be shown anything you are not ready to share, or that I don't need to see or know about. You and your healing team won't show anything  that will create embarrassment or trauma for you. That doesn't mean we can’t still work on it, if you are ready to.

An example: I had a client who was scared of things being shown to me that they were not comfortable with. I explained the process to them and we started the session. During the session, in my mind’s eye I was shown a box. I wasn't able to open it or see inside. I asked if I was meant to send the box reiki/light and received a 'yes'. I then asked if I needed to see more or know what this is and received a 'no'. I sent reiki/light to this box till it dissolved in light. This was likely to be an experience that was very personal to client  and may have caused them trauma or embarrassment for me to see. It may have also possibly placed me at risk of vicarious trauma and perhaps my healing team were protecting me as well? If you are not familiar with what vicarious trauma is, information on it can be found here.

What does that a session look like practically? 

1) We make an hour booking

2) You decide if you want me to :

 a) Send a message/email as a debrief/feedback post session.

At the appointment time, you relax while I tune in, send reiki/energy and clear energetic blocks and top up your chakras. I will be intuitively guided on what to work on and what to use (crystals, sound, reiki etc). You can also ask for me to make time to focus on something in particular you feel you need help with. Once the energy work has been done, I will then send a message/email with the feedback. You can also reply and provide feedback or asl questions. 

 b) Send a Zoom/call as a debrief/feedback post session.

At the appointment time, you relax while I tune in, send reiki/energy and clear energetic blocks and top up your chakras. I will be intuitively guided on what to work on and what to use (crystals, sound, reiki etc). You can also ask for me to make time to focus on something in particular you feel you need help with. Once the energy work has been done, I will then Zoom or Call you (as you advise me at the time of booking) and provide feedback and we can debrief. 

c) Zoom or phone call you at the appointment time, and we stay online as you relax while I tune in, send reiki/energy and clear energetic blocks and top up your chakras.

I will be intuitively guided on what to work on and what to use (crystals, sound, reiki etc). You can also ask for me to make time to focus on something in particular you feel you need help with. During the energy work, I don't generally chat as I focus and tune in to working on your energy. Once the energy work has been done, I will gently let you know and then provide feedback and we can debrief. 

d) or we can do a combination of the above, as best suits you.
