I had a memory surface the other day…
My first experience with Reiki at 15.
A woman my mom knew was learning different healing modalities, and I became the “guinea pig.”
My mom stayed in the room. The overhead lights were on.
And they kept asking, “Do you feel anything?”
I didn’t know what I was supposed to feel.
It was new… unfamiliar… a little awkward if I’m honest.
And I remember thinking…
Nothing’s happening.
Now I look back and realize—
it wasn’t that nothing was happening.
It was that my body didn’t feel safe enough to receive.
No softness.
No stillness.
No space to actually connect.
Because Reiki isn’t just about energy being offered…
it’s about the body being able to open to it.
Today, the space I hold is different.
Soft lighting.
Gentle music.
A calm, grounded presence.
A space where your nervous system can finally exhale.
And when that happens…
that’s when people begin to feel it.
Not because something is being forced—
but because their bodies are no longer in defence mode.
This is the part most people don’t realize:
Healing doesn’t begin when the energy starts…
It begins when you feel safe enough to receive it.
If you’ve ever thought,
“I didn’t feel anything”…
It doesn’t mean it didn’t work.
It might just mean your body was still protecting you.
And that’s something we gently work with… not against. 🤍
This is exactly what I support you through in my sessions—helping your body feel safe enough to receive.
