General Questions
Q: What is Usui Reiki? A: Usui Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing technique that originated in Japan. It involves the practitioner lightly placing their hands on or just above the client's body to channel universal life force energy. This energy promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the body's natural healing abilities on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Q: What is Crystal Healing? A: Crystal healing is an alternative healing technique that uses crystals and other stones to promote healing and well-being. Each crystal is believed to have unique energetic properties that can influence the body's energy field (aura) and chakras. Crystals may be placed on or around the body, used in grids, or carried to help balance energy, alleviate stress, and support various healing processes.
Q: Are Reiki and Crystal Healing safe? A: Yes, both Usui Reiki and Crystal Healing are generally considered safe, non-invasive, and complementary therapies. They work with the body's natural energy systems and do not involve any harmful substances or procedures. They can be used alongside conventional medical treatments, but should not replace them.
Q: Do I need to believe in energy healing for it to work? A: While an open mind can enhance your experience, you don't need to "believe" in energy healing for it to be effective. The energy works regardless of your personal beliefs. Many people report feeling relaxed and experiencing positive shifts even if they were initially skeptical.
Q: What is a remote (distance) healing session? A: A remote healing session, also known as distance healing, is a way to receive the benefits of Usui Reiki and Crystal Healing without being physically present with the practitioner. Energy is not limited by distance, so healing energy can be sent and received anywhere in the world. It works on the principle that we are all connected by a universal energy field.
Q: How does a remote healing session work? A: Before your session, we will typically agree on a specific time for the healing to take place. At the scheduled time, you will find a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax without interruption. I will then connect to your energy field from my location and channel Usui Reiki energy, often incorporating crystals to support the healing intention, just as I would in an in-person session.
Q: Do I need to do anything special during a remote session? A: To maximize your experience, we recommend finding a peaceful spot where you can lie down or sit comfortably. You might want to dim the lights, play soft music, or simply relax. It's helpful to set an intention for what you'd like to receive from the session. The most important thing is to be open to receiving the healing energy.
Q: Are remote sessions as effective as in-person sessions? A: Yes, absolutely! Energy is not bound by physical distance, and the healing benefits of Usui Reiki and Crystal Healing are just as potent whether you are in the same room or across the globe. Many clients find remote sessions incredibly convenient and equally powerful.
Q: How long do sessions last? A: Session lengths can vary. Typically, a single Usui Reiki or Crystal Healing session lasts between 45 to 60 minutes, though introductory or combined sessions might be longer. (Please check our services page for specific session durations.)
Q: How many sessions will I need? A: The number of sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Some people experience benefits after just one session, while others find a series of sessions more beneficial for deeper, more lasting results. We can discuss a recommended plan during your initial consultation.
Booking & Appointments
Q: How do I book a session? A: You can book a session by [mention your booking method, e.g., visiting our online booking page, calling us at [phone number], or emailing us at [email address]].
Q: What is your cancellation policy? A: We kindly request at least [e.g., 24-48] hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer the time slot to other clients. Cancellations made with less than [e.g., 24] hours' notice may be subject to a [e.g., 50% or full] session fee. (Be specific here!)
Q: Do you offer remote/distance healing? A: Yes, Usui Reiki can be effectively performed remotely, as energy is not limited by physical distance. Distance healing sessions are just as powerful as in-person sessions. We can arrange a time for you to relax in your own space while we send healing energy.
Preparing for Your Session
Q: What should I wear to a session? A: Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You will remain fully clothed during the entire session.
Q: Is there anything I need to do to prepare for a session? A: To get the most out of your session, we recommend that you:
Hydrate well by drinking plenty of water.
Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol beforehand.
Come with an open mind and a willingness to relax.
Think about any intentions or areas you'd like to focus on during the session.
After Your Session
Q: What can I expect after a session? A: After a session, you may feel deeply relaxed, peaceful, and refreshed. Some people experience increased energy, while others might feel a bit tired as their body integrates the energy shifts. It's recommended to drink plenty of water and allow yourself time to rest and integrate the experience.
Q: Are there any side effects? A: Reiki and crystal healing are very gentle. Any "side effects" are typically mild and temporary, such as feeling more emotional, tired, or having vivid dreams as your body releases energetic blockages. These are often signs of healing and are generally brief. Always listen to your body and hydrate.
