ENERGY MEDICINE

ENERGY MEDICINE is an umbrella term for various energy healing modalities.

For centuries, energy healing therapies have been practiced by cultures and traditions across the world.

The modalities that I practice are Reiki and Seichem.

The underlying principle of energy healing is to restore the flow of Life Force Energy (also known as Prana, Qui or Ka). This can be translated as the vital life creating and sustaining force that permeates all living beings and the Universe. The flow of life force within our being gives rise to our physical, mental and emotional health. It is also deeply connected to our spiritual health.

What is Reiki?

The word Reiki means ‘Universal Life Energy’ in Japanese. It is a healing system that was founded, or rediscovered by Mikao Usui, a Japanese scholar, in the early 20th century. It evolved through his experience and research, with roots in ancient healing practices.

Reiki is a non-invasive complementary therapy that is delivered through the practioner’s hands. It is a safe therapy to optimise physical, mental and emotional health. Reiki has no religious basis and can be received by individuals of all faiths and beliefs.

It is important to note that you won’t be receiving ‘the practitioner’s energy’. The intention is for the practitioner to act as a channel for Universal Life Force Energy, allowing you to receive healing by activating your body’s innate ability to restore balance and well-being.

What is seichem?

Seichem (pronounced say-keem) is one of the Healing Arts practiced in Ancient Egypt. It was rediscovered in 1980 by Patrick Zeigler while he was visiting Egypt. Seichem works in the same way as Reiki but is said to be a more advanced form of Energy Healing.

Similar to Reiki, it works to restore harmony in the energy system of the body. In addition, there may be healing taking place in the energy field surrounding the body (the aura). It has the potential to offer deeper clearing, restructuring and balancing of the energy field. It can also support spiritual transformation. Reiki is one of the four elemental rays which make up Seichem - earth (Reiki), water, air and fire.

The Session

Here’s a little bit about what to expect in a session with me.

Initially, we will have a chat about what your intention might be for the healing, how you are feeling and what you are currently moving through in life. We will be in a quiet and calming space, where you will then lie fully clothed on a couch. I will encourage you to close your eyes, relax and drop into your body for the duration of the 30-40 minute treatment. I will usually start at your feet and work my way up, gently placing my hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near your body, with your consent. I will spend more time on areas that require more focus and attention. There will be no massage or manipulation.

What does the treatment feel like?

Experiences vary from person to person and can depend on what you may be moving through at the time of the session, your intentions, how much healing you have already done and more.

I truly believe that this medicine will meet you where you are ready to be met and offer what is required for your greatest good at that point in time. Your openness and trust play a crucial role in your transformation and results.

 

Experiences during the treatment may include:

·      Feeling deeply relaxed or even falling asleep

·      Not feeling much, mild or moderate relaxation

·      Experience of seeing colours

·      Feelings of energy moving

·      Sensations of heat, cold or tingling

·      Physical symptoms of release such as coughing, sneezing, burping, passing wind

·      Emotions surfacing such anger or sadness

·      Memories from the past resurfacing

·      Spiritual experiences

·      Feelings of love, surrender and oneness

 

Aftercare

Taking good care of yourself after the session is essential. Going slow, nourishing yourself and allowing any form of release that may want to happen. Drinking plenty of water to aid the detoxification process. Integration will happen in the days following your session.
