Reiki + Sound

BOOK SERVICE HERE

WHAT IS REIKI + SOUND? Reiki is a Japanese healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. This ancient practice is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy (called by many names in various belief systems such as Ch’i, Ki, Prana, Mana, or Ruach) flows through everyone and everything, giving us life, and that Reiki practitioners can utilize certain hand positions to channel this energy. Low, blocked, or unbalanced energy can manifest in various ways, including, but not limited to, illnesses, bodily aches and pains, and increased, heightened, and/or unbalanced emotions. If our life force energy is flowing and balanced, however, we are more capable of living a joyful, abundant, and aligned life. 

This can not only be accomplished through Reiki, but also sound healing, which is based on the principle that everything in the universe is comprised of energy, frequencies, and vibrations, and that specific sounds and frequencies can be used to harmonize this energy inside each of us. As a Certified Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Practitioner (Level II), I combine Reiki with sound healing instruments, like crystal singing bowls and Tingsha cymbals, to treat the whole person - body, emotions, mind, and spirit during these sessions.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Each session lasts approximately 60 minutes and you remain fully clothed while lying down comfortably on a massage table. In most cases, you will be lying on your back, but the session is adaptable if needed to maximize your comfort. Before your session, you will be asked to complete a brief questionnaire to provide information critical to customizing the healing session to meet your physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual needs. Based on these responses, specific sound healing instruments and Reiki techniques/hand positions will be chosen to use on and/or around the body to maximize healing potential. 

Common examples of instruments I may use in some combination during Reiki + Sound sessions include, but are not limited to, crystal and/or Tibetan (aka Himalayan) singing bowls, tuning forks, my Heng gong named "Sunny", and Tibetan Tingsha cymbals. The sounds produced by these instruments - which have historical reputations for promoting healing - invite you into a deeper state of consciousness, serve as an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli, and promote self-inquiry/discovery. I invite you to learn more about my instruments here. 

LOCATION: This service is available either on a come-to-you basis or an in-person appointment at the Holistic Health Collective (3368 Beltline Ct, Grand Rapids, MI 49525). Upon booking, we will work together to determine the best option for you and your comfort.
