In recent months I started running my clinics in a beautiful new space in Bridgwater, Somerset. Such a gorgeous old building based in the town centre, high ceilings and big windows! Creating accessibility for my existing clients was really important to me - I've been busy working on establishing this practise and introducing new faces to my work! (in amongst juggling home life with the children and the other love of my life working for the NHS).
One of the most notable things from the many sessions I've conducted with clients of all ages is the overwhelming sense of feeling rested immediately after the session.
Often sitting up with a big stretch and a sleepy surprised expression.
"I didn't expect that" or "Wow!"
It's so rewarding!
Whether clients are bereaved, stressed or exhausted, offering space that is created with soft, gentle and restful experiences is part of the vision!
Reiki is incredible, I struggle to put into words all the reasons why. But let's look at the simplest and most beautiful side effect of my sessions!
Rest, recoup and restorative practise.
Not a single person has left my room feeling anything less than wonderful, I feel so very proud of this 😊
I know I bang on about it, but there are no negative side effects, you can't have too much and it's not time intensive.
I think half of the battle is getting people to understand they don't need to be afraid of it - whilst Reiki is relatively new ( hundreds of years ) the Chakra systems are not - it's not a fad, its a longline of history surrounding the human body and how it interacts!
How we describe storing a memory? What does it look like in the body? Really! What is that?
How would you describe your 'gut feeling'what does this look like and what is it made of?
Hmm, let's get those cogs turning and thinking about energy in the body.
What is energy? Can we see it, touch it and move it?
What happens when we catch a ball?
We disrupt the energy! We absorb the energy! How many types of energy can you think of?
The concept of energy in my opinion just needs a little more explaining so that people understand that it's not a sinister or strange practise, rather than a part of the world and our place in it.
If you're reading this and have had a revelation I'd love to hear it - as always I invite questions and comments!
Love always,
