Energy Healing & Reiki Sessions
What is Energy Healing & Reiki?
The human body consists of an array of energy systems including our aura, chakras and meridians. If energy is blocked in our energy systems, it will affect the flow of energy into our organs and the cellular levels of our body and can be the precursor to dis-ease in the body.
Energy healing is an umbrella term that covers many modalities that work on restoring balance to these energy systems and to facilitate our body’s innate healing system. The enhanced energy flow results in increased energy levels and balance. Modalities include reiki, acupuncture, kinesiology, crystal healing….
Is Energy Healing/Reiki like a massage?
No. Reiki is a non-manipulative and non-intrusive treatment that works with the energetic body, as opposed to massage which manipulates the physical body. Some liken it to a ‘massage of the soul.’
What should I wear?
A common question I am asked is “Do I need to take my clothes off?” As there is no manipulation of the physical body, you remain fully clothed during the session. However, as you will be lying down on a massage table, it is recommended to wear loose comfortable clothing that you can relax in. You just need to remove your shoes and any items that may constrict you from relaxing.
What happens in a session?
Denise will first have a chat with you about why you booked in for a session and what you want to achieve out of the session.
The energy treatment will then take place on a massage table. Once you are settled in, the energy will softly start to flow and you will be guided into a place of relaxation. You may experience a feeling of warmth coming from Denise’s hands slowly moving up your body.
Denise will then move around the table and scan/assess your energy field (aura) and energy systems (chakras/meridians). Based on that assessment, Denise will be intuitively guided to which techniques to use to work on clearing any energy blockages identified and to identify which areas of the body need an energy boost.
At the end of the treatment, there will be time for two-way feedback and relaying any messages that may have come through in the session.
What can I expect during the session?
Each session is unique and your experiences can also be different each session. You may experience:
✯ A deep sense of relaxation and peace
✯ Different sensations such as heat, cold, tingling
✯ Feeling uncomfortable in certain part of your body where the energy is being directed (e.g. pulsing in your wrist if you have a sprained wrist)
✯ Different emotions coming to the surface such as peace, sadness…
✯ Old memories coming to the surface
✯ Visions of colours, angels, past events…
What do I need to do to prepare for my appointment?
Set your intention what you want to achieve out of the session. For example:
✯ An hour of “me time’ to unwind and experience a sense of peace and deep relaxation
✯ An Energy balance and/or energy boost
✯ Relief from pain or presenting symptoms such as headaches, depression, chronic fatigue
✯ Releasing emotional stress or grief
✯ Wanting to move through old limiting patterns and beliefs
Please refrain from the consumption of alcohol or drugs on the day of your session.
What do I need to do during my appointment?
Before we commence the session, let Denise know if you are experiencing any aches or feeling pains. It is also beneficial to discuss any recent events or emotions that have affected you recently.
When you are lying on the massage table just allow yourself to relax and enjoy the gentle energy that is flowing through you. Trust that the healing energy will be directed to where it is needed most. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, please let Denise know. Try to be open to the process as much as possible and allow whatever is happening to happen because once the energy starts to move, it can shift old memories, emotions and wounds. So go with it and allow any memories, tears and/or emotions to be released. Feel free to discuss what you are experiencing as it can assist with releasing. The session provides a safe and supportive environment to allow this process to unfold. And of course, anything that is discussed is confidential.
What can I expect after my appointment?
Drink water after the session as there may be some releasing of toxins. It is ideal have a quiet day and evening if possible with some quiet time for yourself. Taking an Epsom salt bath or reading a book can be a great way to enhance the feelings of deep relaxation that you felt during the session.
The benefits of the healing session may be felt immediately, or it may be more subtle – more of a knowing that something has shifted. As the energy will continue to process after the healing session, you may experience any of the following:
✯ Feeling tired or energised
✯ Sleeping soundly or restlessness
✯ Feeling emotional or peaceful
✯ Need for space/quiet time/reflection
✯ Recalling past events, memories and emotions
Just allow the process to take place and trust that healing is taking place. If you are having old memories and emotions coming to the surface, it is ideal to write these down into a journal or a piece of paper. It is all part of the process to release that which no longer serves you and to welcome in your new and positive energy, and a new way of being.
Denise will normally send you a text message the next day to follow up on how your experience was. You can also email with any questions or concerns about how the energy is shifting after the treatment, or if you have any further questions about your session.
Should I book in for 60 minutes or 90 minutes?
60 min is ideal if you are booking in for the following: ‘me time’/to unwind and experience a deep sense of relaxation/chakra balance/energy boost.
90 min is ideal if there is a specific issue that you want to address, such as going through an emotionally challenging time. This will give time for the initial discussion and for the treatment on the table.
Should I add the Oracle cards option?
It is optional as to whether you want to add on 10 min oracle card reading at the end of the session or incorporate it into your 90 min healing session.
The Oracle cards can enhance and complement your healing session. It is uncanny how many times the cards provide confirmation of what has unfolded in the session. They can also provide valuable insight into where you are currently at in life.
How many sessions will I need?
This is dependent on why you are seeking an Energy Healing session and the outcomes you are looking for.
✯ You may be seeking a one off treatment if you are after a relaxation session or an energy boost.
✯ If you are coming for a specific issue, it may take a few sessions to get to the underlying issue. Often we have to unpeel a few layers of the onion until we get to what is really happening underneath.
✯ Others come on a regular basis when they are working on their personal and/or spiritual growth. Regular treatments can help transform your life as you release any old limiting patterns and beliefs, enabling you to welcome in new and positive energy and a new way of being.
