FAQ's

As a Reiki practitioner and master with formal training in this therapeutic art, I use gentle hand movements to guide the flow of vital energy through your body, known as life force energy in Reiki. I aim to alleviate stress, create a healing environment, and promote balance and relaxation. Reiki is recognized as a form of complementary and alternative medicine, with evidence indicating its effectiveness in reducing daily stress and supporting the management of certain chronic diseases. Throughout a Reiki session, I transfer energy from myself to the client, utilizing my hands to channel energy into the body, removing blockages and fostering natural healing. This holistic approach to Reiki therapy originated in Japan and has proven benefits for overall well-being.

Various research findings suggest that Reiki is associated with diverse physical and emotional health advantages. These benefits encompass improvements in sleep quality, mood enhancement, and relief from pain, as documented in published studies. Scientific investigations propose that Reiki plays a role in facilitating the body's return to a relaxed state, potentially enhancing its ability to recover from stress, injuries, or illnesses. Moreover, substantive evidence supports the use of Reiki as a complementary therapy in conjunction with conventional medical care. This integrative approach has shown promise in aiding post-surgery recovery and alleviating symptoms associated with conditions such as cancer.

As a Reiki Master, I channel universal life energy through my hands to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance your overall well-being. You don't need any prior knowledge or preparation. The process typically involves the client lying down fully clothed. At the same time, I place my hands lightly on or just above specific energy centers, such as chakras and other areas of the body. During a Reiki session, clients may experience sensations like warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. This energy operates on multiple levels, addressing physical symptoms and emotional and spiritual imbalances. Reiki is commonly utilized as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments, supporting the body's natural healing processes. A foundational principle of Reiki emphasizes that healing is a collaborative journey involving the practitioner and the client in an active role.

Reiki therapy, deemed generally safe and suitable for individuals of all ages and health conditions, is a complementary practice. It is gentle and non-invasive, making it appropriate for diverse populations, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Despite its widespread suitability, consulting with a qualified medical professional is crucial if you have any concerns or specific medical conditions. Reiki should be viewed as a complementary approach, not a medical treatment substitute. Before starting any new therapy or treatment, it is best to seek guidance from a healthcare professional to ensure it's appropriate for your specific needs.

While the precise mechanisms underlying the effectiveness of Reiki remain unclear in scientific terms, several studies indicate measurable benefits, including the reduction of blood pressure, improvement in sleep quality, alleviation of anxiety, and mitigation of pain. Some of these studies focus on specific populations, such as individuals recovering from surgery, while others involve healthy individuals. It is essential to note that mainstream medicine generally regards Reiki as a complementary therapy, meant to be utilized in conjunction with standard medical care rather than as a substitute. If uncertain about incorporating Reiki into your treatment plan, seeking advice from your doctor is advisable.

The frequency of Reiki therapy sessions depends on your individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from regular sessions once a week or every few weeks, while others may choose to have sessions as needed. It is important to listen to your body and discuss your goals with me to determine the best frequency for you.

I practice Colour Therapy as a holistic healing method that harnesses the vibrational qualities of colours to enhance your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Each colour carries distinct energies and restores balance and harmony.

I work with coloured bottles containing oils, water, and plant extracts in my Colour Therapy sessions. These bottles are associated with specific energies and arranged in a colour spectrum. During the session, I encourage my clients, including myself, to choose bottles intuitively based on attraction to the colours. This selection process provides insights into your state of being, serving as a tool for self-discovery and healing.

Each colour in Colour Therapy is linked to specific qualities, emotions, and aspects of life, often associated with the chakras, the body's energy centers. I may apply the chosen colours topically and/or recommend that these be worn as jewelry, or incorporated into your living or working environment.

Colour Therapy is valuable for promoting relaxation, emotional balance, and personal growth. The chosen colours influence your mood, perception, and overall energy flow, contributing to a profound sense of well-being.
Approaching Colour Therapy requires an open mind and a willingness to explore the symbolic and energetic aspects of colours.

Reiki therapy and Aura-Soma are holistic healing modalities but differ in their approaches, techniques, and fundamental principles.

1. Nature of Healing:
   • Reiki Therapy: Reiki is an energy healing technique where practitioners channel universal life energy through their hands to the recipient. The aim is to balance and harmonize the energy within the body, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
   • Aura-Soma: Aura-Soma, also known as Color Therapy, uses the vibrational qualities of colors to bring about healing. It involves selecting and applying specific colors, often in the form of dual-colored bottles, to restore balance and address various aspects of an individual's life.
2. Techniques:
   • Reiki Therapy: Practitioners in Reiki use hands-on or hands-off techniques, placing their hands lightly on or just above specific energy centers (chakras) of the body to channel energy.
   • Aura-Soma: Aura-Soma involves the intuitive selection of colored bottles by the individual, guided by their attraction to the colors. The chosen colors are applied topically or incorporated into the person's environment.
3. Philosophy:
   • Reiki Therapy: Rooted in Japanese spiritual practices, Reiki emphasizes the flow of universal life energy to promote healing. It recognizes the interconnectedness of an individual's physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects.
   • Aura-Soma: Aura-Soma is based on the belief that colors carry unique vibrations and energies that can influence different aspects of a person's life. It incorporates using colors to address imbalances and enhance overall well-being.
4. Role of Practitioner and Recipient:
   • Reiki Therapy: The Reiki practitioner channels and directs the energy, while the recipient generally lies down and receives the energy passively. Both play a role in the healing process.
   • Aura-Soma: The individual actively participates in healing by intuitively choosing colors. The practitioner may guide the selection but channels energy differently than a Reiki practitioner.
5. Application:
   • Reiki Therapy: This can be applied through hands-on or distant healing sessions and is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatments.
   • Aura-Soma: Applied through the selection and use of colored bottles, oils, and related products, personally and in consultation with a practitioner.

While Reiki and Aura-Soma differ in their techniques and approaches, they share the overarching goal of promoting holistic well-being and balance in individuals. Some individuals may find that one approach resonates with them more than the other, and personal preferences can influence the choice between these modalities.
