What does Reiki feel like?

💚Sensations of warmth or heat are frequently reported during Reiki sessions. This warmth is often felt in the areas being treated or in the hands of the practitioner, and it's associated with the flow of energy.

💚Sensations of energy pulsing or flowing through the body are also reported. It might feel like waves of energy moving through different areas. Some individuals describe feeling tingling sensations, like gentle vibrations, as Reiki is administered.

💚One of the most common reactions to Reiki is a deep sense of relaxation and calm, akin to a deep state of meditation.

💚A feeling of lightness or expansion is also often reported. This might involve a sensation of energy spreading out beyond the physical body. Like a breath of fresh air for your spirit.

💚 During a session, individuals may experience emotional releases such as tears, laughter, or feelings of profound peace and contentment.

💚Reiki can quiet the chatter of the mind, bringing a sense of mental clarity and inner peace.

💚Some people report seeing images, colours, or experiencing visualizations. These experiences can range from seeing bright lights or specific hues to intricate patterns and symbolic imagery.

💚 Not everyone feels distinct sensations during Reiki. Energy is subtle, and sometimes things are happening on deeper levels that may not necessary manifest as an noticeable external reaction. Perhaps a few days or weeks later you may feel calmer or less reactive to something that really bothered you before. Or you notice a general improvement in your overall well-being and resilience in the face of life’s challenges. Trust the Reiki energy to do what is needed. 😊💫

The problem with YouTube Yoga, apps and DVDs

So many people tell me they do yoga at home, following along with a YouTube or DVD teacher, especially since lockdown in 2020/21. Whilst I am all for getting more people into yoga, for all its incredible benefits, hearing anyone say this always rings alarm bells for me 🔔🔔‼️‼️

The problem is that it’s just a one-way process. The teacher on screen cannot see what you are doing. They can’t tell you if what you are doing is safe for you. They don’t know about your health, previous injuries, your body size or shape. The chances are the person on screen is not exactly the same age, shape, or fitness level as you, so by merely copying them you could be causing lasting and irreparable damage to your body.

You also miss out on the other 7/8 of yoga. Yoga is not and was never meant to be merely an exercise class. Physical postures or ‘asana’ form just one of the 8 parts of yoga. It’s a whole way of life. What these on screen teachers deprive you of is the deeper understanding of yourself, your body, your mind and your interactions with the world that comes with practising physical yoga as part of the bigger picture.

So I would ALWAYS recommend going to a real, in-person class if you can. That doesn’t have to mean being in a room with a group of people who are younger, fitter or thinner than you! I teach one-to-one classes, that are especially written for your unique body shape, health, age, and fitness levels. I work with lots of people who have significant or chronic health issues. During our classes, I can see exactly what you are doing and can offer slight adaptations that might make poses more comfortable or more accessible for you. You are also not tied to the same time or day every week as I work on an appointment basis - just book in whenever you like. So you can work around shift patterns at work, or childcare needs.
