Transcript
00:02taking care of yourself and especially the mind-body connection is a lifelong practice
00:08it's worth it taking that time and really committing to it because the results have
00:13completely changed my life hi I'm Kate and I'm doing a Reiki and sound healing treatment today
00:25when I am really stressed out my body it tends to get really bad inflammation and that has typically
00:32come out on my skin so I got to a point where I just knew I needed to try something
00:36different and
00:37that's when I started first getting energy healing treatments so today my goal with this Reiki session
00:44is really just part of my continued effort for emotional and stress management my name is Queenie
00:50Hilfer I am a Reiki master teacher sound healer and the founder of my own private healing practice
00:56called Reiki and flow so for anybody who's new to Reiki and doesn't know anything about what it is
01:02it is a really beautiful gentle a very potent Japanese energy healing modality so Reiki as
01:10with sound is vibrational medicine Reiki originated in Japan Mikau Yasui often referred to as Yasui
01:18Sensei he came from a lineage of samurai so he was trained in martial arts he was very interested
01:24in divination he was very interested in world religion so one of the big influences of Reiki is
01:32actually Tendai Buddhism Reiki it's not a religion whatsoever but it's very very spiritual hi Kate it's
01:39been a minute so what brings you to Reiki today so I wanted to come in and get a session
01:44today just
01:45because I haven't seen you in a while and I've been doing a lot of personal work and would just
01:50love your support well let's do a chakra reading and we can take a look and kind of see your
01:55energy
01:55centers and what the flow is of each and that'll really help to kind of inform where we dig deeper
02:00into the treatment yeah so after the consultation I smudge my client I make sure I cleanse their energy
02:10because we're about to go into ceremony I take out my crystal pendulum I do a chakra scan so I
02:16scan each
02:17of their energy centers and that seven energy centers coming out of the chakra system from India and that
02:24really gives us an opportunity of visual to kind of see how open closed how much energy is flowing in
02:31each of those chakras and after the chakra scan we move over to the table I have the client lay
02:38on the table get
02:39nice and cozy I place an eye mask over their eyes and lots of crystals and then we get into
02:46the
02:46treatment so just starting to drop in you want to take a big deep breath in push that breath all
02:52the
02:52way down the length of the body out the feet and out the toes go ahead and do that one
02:57more time big
02:58deep breath in through the crown pushing it down the body and out the toes so then I love to
03:05layer in
03:06some beautiful beautiful sound healing what Reiki is really good at is it helps us to move that
03:21through the divine technology of the body as well as it helps kind of get us out of that busy
03:27beta brainwave
03:27state where all that ruminating that mental chatter is going on and then it drops us down to a deeper
03:33meditative alpha theta brainwave state and when we're there we're able to access emotions memories
03:40beliefs because this is all through the subconscious mind it's going to help move heavy emotions through
03:46the body so we're talking stress anxiety trauma grief shock depression all of those things that's
03:54energy all these emotions are energy and they get stuck in the body when we don't allow ample time to
04:00process to really acknowledge those emotions so a favorite for clients is the ocean drum also known
04:11as a wave drum or ocean wave drop they often feel they're under waves they feel a lot of release
04:21and then I love to also use my koshi chimes so they have really beautiful tunings and they sound like
04:28amazing it's almost like a circular sound that happens with these koshi chimes and I really hold the
04:35intention of sending lots of healing to their inner child so coming out of a Reiki treatment a client can
04:51you know feel a little bit groggy so I guide them to bring their consciousness back into their body I
04:59guide them to anchor in the healing the transmission into the root chakra into the earth star chakra from
05:05there I really kind of direct them to start calling it back into their body so how was that for
05:12you how do you
05:13feel I feel really good very relaxed and just calm yes today's session really helped my mind body connection as
05:23Reiki always does it's just this continual maintenance that I'll always do my advice to anyone considering
05:32trying Reiki especially for your first time is to go into an open-minded experience is going to be totally
05:39unique so trying to go in without expectations and really just being open to however the session goes we
05:47do need to feel it to heal it there's no other way there's no getting around that and then it's
05:51this
05:51beautiful life force energy and accepting that into your system
