“Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change forms.”

Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is an ancient alternative energy healing modality. The word is Japanese, and translates to “Universal Life Energy”. Reiki healing is a natural healing system that works in perfect harmony with other healing techniques and practices.

In a session, a Practitioner is a channel of this pure healing energy and delivers it to the client via their hands. Reiki energy can be received hands on, hands off, or virtually.

Reiki assists the body with its own highest level of healing and wellness and neither conflicts nor interferes with proper treatment. It promotes relaxation, stress relief, and overall healing.

Reiki practitioners receive attunements from a Reiki Master. A Reiki attunement is the process of opening a channel for Reiki energy to flow from practitioner to client.

It is not a replacement for modern healthcare, and I highly recommend continuing to see your current healthcare providers.

The word Chakra is Sanskrit for the term "wheel". So when we say “Chakra”, we’re referring to an energetic wheel.

We have seven main Chakras. Our Chakras are grouped into three distinct categories. First, the Chakras of Matter are the ones most connected to our physical bodies: the Root (located at the base of the tailbone), Sacral (located below the navel), and Solar Plexus (located in the abdomen above the navel).

Then there are the Chakras of Spirit, which bridge the gap between us and our spiritual source: the Throat, Third Eye (located between the eyebrows) and Crown (area at the top of your head and slightly above).

Then there’s the tie between Matter and Spirit, the Connecting Chakra – which bonds our physical and spirit together: the Heart.

Chakra Healing is recognizing and identifying undesirable feelings within, focusing on the relevant Chakra to transform negative energy to positive energy so that our energy continues to flow appropriately.

When our chakras are blocked, overactive, or under-active, we can develop a multitude of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms that manifest in a variety of ways.

For example, our Root Chakra represents safety, security, and grounding. If it is blocked, we might feel chronic fear, insecurity, anxiety, and lost in our thoughts. It could lead to panic attacks or heath problems in the colon, lower back, or legs.

The colors associated with each Chakra:
Root - Red
Sacral - Orange
Solar Plexus - Yellow
Heart - Green/Pink
Throat - Blue
Third Eye - Indigo
Crown - Violet

The true ‘why’ behind crystal healing comes from their vibrational frequencies, which can interconnect with other energetic frequencies around us.

Crystals have their own natural vibration and attributes, which can activate and promote both emotional and physical healing – if the frequency is the right match for you and your needs.

The right crystals can augment energy which can assist Healers like myself in balancing the Chakras. A crystal’s particular energetic vibration can help guide the flow of energy to or within an individual, then – with the right understanding and training – to a certain Chakra or part of the body to bring balance and stimulate wellbeing.

They can be helpful on their own, but if coupled with other methods, crystals can become powerful enhancers and healing tools. This is why energy healers – such as myself – like to have or place certain stones on (or near) their clients. I use crystals in almost all of my healings through direct skin contact, and I channel Reiki healing energy through them. I am also able to channel Reiki through them virtually.

I have seen great results myself using crystals, and recommend my clients use them for energetic protection and healing by utilizing them in meditations, keeping them with you, wearing them, having them in your homes, and more.
