Reiki is a Japanese technique of channelling energy where it should go in the body. Usually, Reiki involves a gentle “hands-on” approach on different parts of the body. I prefer the “hands-off” approach. Why? Reiki is energy work, and it flows just as effectively when hands are placed slightly above the body as when they rest lightly on the body. If Distance Reiki works, which it does; then
For some people, touch can be calming and grounding. But for others—especially those with sensitive nervous systems or delicate auras, or touch-related trauma —hands-off Reiki can actually be more beneficial.
For example: When I received my first hands-on Reiki session, I could not relax and my nerve endings felt as though they were bouncing against the cells in my body, trying to escape. My body could not accept or process the healing. Several years later, the second practitioner’s hands hovered above my auric field, and I could breathe deeply, let go, and truly accept the healing.
This isn’t strange—it’s simply the way my energy responds best. Reiki adapts to you. Whether hands-on or hands-off, the energy flows where it is needed most.
Most energy practitioners will offer either solely hands-on technique, or maybe a combination of both, but I practice solely hands-off.
Why do I offer solely “Hands-off” treatment? Part of the reason is for you, part of it is for me, and the third part to the reason why I prefer to practice hands-off Reiki is so that my energy is not transferred to you. Energy comes from Source, the practitioner is simply the conduit.
When you arrive for your session, we will talk about your comfort level beforehand, so you can feel safe and supported in your healing experience.
At the first part of your appointment, you will be introduced to the The Crystal Lounge which is a new concept in crystal usage. Most practitioners who use crystals treat them like tools and just place them on or around your chakras. We, at My Health and Wellness Corner, believe this is Your Health and Wellness Corner and that you are responsible for your health and wellness, and should feel responsible and in-touch with that and have a say in that (within reason). Allowing you to connect with the crystals, learn about each one, and feel their energy is one way My Health and Wellness Corner can put the some of the power (literally) in your hands.
