Where will my energy or bodywork session take place?
Your session will take place in a warm, comfortable, quiet room. Soft music may be played to help you relax. You will lie on a massage table.

What should I wear?
You will be fully clothed in all sessions.  Please wear comfortable clothing.

Will I be covered during the session?
Yes, the client will be fully clothed and covered with a sheet for warmth and comfort in the summer and with a blanket in the winter. 

What will the energy session feel like?
The session will start with a brief discussion on how you are feeling.  You will then lay on the massage table face up with healing music in the background. The aura will be cleansed with sage & palo santo unless you prefer no fragrance.  All sessions are very relaxing and there is no need to do anything but relax.  The therapist will assess your energy as they use hands to hover over the chakras and stones may then be placed on the chakras.  With USUI Reiki there are basic hand positions on the head, forehead, shoulders, throat, stomach, abdomen, hips, legs, and feet.  You may feel a light energetic tingling, pulling, or bubbling sensation along with heat. A pendulum will also be used to assess blockages.  The pendulum is basically an amplifier and is a tool that helps the therapist access the collective unconsciousness and Higher Self.  Everyone is basically capable of working with this tool and learning to work with it is like learning to play an instrument. 

Are there different kinds of energy work?
There are numerous types of energy and bodywork; Reiki, Crystal Reiki, Healing Touch, and Qigong all work with the same energy but have specific techniques in accessing the energy.  These techniques may include no touch or light touch, specific hand placements, working with the chakras, tracing meridians, application of pressure to specific points, and more. We can discuss which methods may be most appropriate for you.

What should I do during the session?
Prior to the appointment, feel free to ask the therapist any questions about the technique or the upcoming session. During the session, make yourself comfortable. The therapist will explain the intent for the manipulation of energy and/or what is needed throughout the session, ie: what and when to focus on a particular aspect. Many people just close their eyes and completely relax, communicating if/when they feel the need to share something about the experience, asking for another blanket, or anything else relevant to the session. Again, If you have any questions regarding the session or about the particular technique you are receiving, feel free to ask.

How will I feel after the massage or bodywork session?
Most people experience feeling as if they are lighter, relaxed, and very calm.  Depending on what you choose to work on there may be some slight digestion issues for a day such as with detoxification and clearing.  Talk to your therapist regarding what to expect after your session.

Are there any medical conditions that would make energy work inadvisable?
No, Reiki energy sessions are non-invasive and vibrational in nature as love and calming energy are sent to the recipient . However, its best to avoid Crystal Healing sessions during pregnancy as the energy is pulled through the body for removal and then recharged.
