Energy Work.

What Is Energy Healing?

You are, and everything around you, is energy, and you exist via an ever-changing process of energetic evolvement.

My intuitive Renewal energy healing sessions specialise in releasing your body from any trauma response symptoms that have arisen from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system activation, and incorporate both Reiki and Crystals with information on each below.

Traditional Chinese and Japanese practices including Reiki have been around since the millennia and are fast becoming the first choice in alternative therapy with research showing that such practices are very effective in the understanding and healing of mind-body symptoms in stress and emotional trauma. Do you:

• either live life off adrenaline or exist in a state of numbness? feel in fight or flight mode, anxious or nervous or find yourself light-headed, lethargic and unable to think?

• have health challenges including migraines, digestive or reproductive issues, chronic fatigue, skin irritations or hormonal imbalances?

• are fed up with muscular tension and tightness, throat sensations, cold sweats or panic attacks? grind your teeth, have a tight jaw, hot flashes, excess sweating and insomnia? feel agitation in some situations, have intrusive thoughts, repetitive patterns and sensitivity to light or sounds?

Some people experience dramatic improvement when receiving energy healing, whilst others experience relief from their symptoms without gaining a complete cure, but notice that other areas of their lives improve and long standing emotional as well as physical issues are resolved. 

I work in line with current research and teachings incorporating the Polyvagal theory of Stephen Porges, and Peter Levine’s work, with the added intention that your soul knows what is in your highest of good when bringing your mind, body and spirit back into harmony so you can function at your creative best.

Reiki has it’s foundation in Tibetan Buddhism and is Universal Life Force Energy, that translates to ‘Rei’ meaning ‘free passage’ and ‘ki’ being ‘universal life energy’ in Japanese. However the word may originate from the Tibetan word, ‘Raku-Kei’ which is the art and science of Tibetan self improvement representing the vertical and horizontal flow of energy. It is also known as Chi by the Chinese, Prana in Hinduism or Mauri by the Maori to mention just a few names from different cultures, but does not require any participation in faith or religion.

However the word Reiki originates, all are one and the same although the extent to which they are applied along with their theories, differ greatly. It is the force behind Yin and Yang. It is whole, complete, unique and powerful and can be used on any condition in any time or place and is the vital flowing energy for the basis of continuity.

It is the belief that disease and illness is first manifested on non-physical levels, i.e. within the auric field, and later shows within the body. So when the auric body is recharged, health can then return to the physical body.

Reiki is great for:

• detoxifying your body and dissolving energy blockages.

• supporting medical treatments, relieving pain and stimulating the immune system.

• deep physical, emotional, mental and spiritual relaxation and support.

Reiki often relieves pain, speeds up your healing process, reduces stress and stimulates the life force energy that recharges your energy system facilitating the non-physical body’s return to full balance and wellbeing.

Treatments are for 60 minutes either seated, reclining or lying down fully-clothed, and can be either laying on or off of hands through various positions at pain sites, energy centres, acupressure points and meridians, acting as a conduit for your self-healing. Occasional use of a pendulum can be used to act as a visual to you for energy flow and little to no pressure is applied although client’s often feel heat from my hands.

A light covering is used because the body temperature often reduces as the parasympathetic nervous system slows down, so I can use a massage table warmer to relax muscles and for your comfort. Your inside healing space will be quiet with optional therapeutic music, lighting and aromatherapy. Expect to feel relaxed and likely drift off to sleep.

Crystal Healing

Crystal healing, or Psychogeology, is the influence of geology - rocks, minerals and crystals - on how our minds work combined with moods, wellbeing and our life’s experience. Crystals influence our energy body that carries life force known in the East as Prana, Chi or Qi, and when placed at energy centres (Chakras), amplify self-healing effects as the chakras expand, spin, cleanse and energise.

In addition, every crystal has it’s own unique healing properties that correspond with the mind, body and auric field. Knowledge of these properties are used to individually correspond with points in your body that require attention, to strength and align allowing the flow of energy to resolve imbalances that can cause health issues.

Contrary to popular belief, our energy fields do not automatically correspond to the order of colours in books, and our individual auras, which I can sense, provide information as to what you may need at any given time. 

Crystal healing is great for:

• aligning and clearing your energy centres (chakras) for optimal health.

• grounding, centering and boosting of energy.

• to relax, refresh, de-stress and gain mind clarity with a sense of calm.

I only use ethically sourced, non-dyed crystals which are cleansed, cleared and re-charged prior to each healing and I specialise in particular stones for abandonment, rejection, anxiety and stress.

I’ve accumulated a sizeable selection of crystals over the years. The ‘big chap’ crystals are very heavy and are placed under the massage table whilst I place the smaller ones on your body and in your hands for you to hold. You are also very welcome and encouraged to bring any crystals that you own to use during your session.

There is little to no touch during Crystal healing other than to lay on crystals at various placements on the body, although subtle energy waves or pulsing can often be felt which is similar to a heart beat sensation. Sometimes the top of your head can tingle or similar to Reiki, other subtle metaphysical sensations can be experienced.

Sessions are either sitting, reclining or lying down fully-clothed whilst I place crystals on various energy points, acupressure points and meridians, acting as a conduit for your self-healing. Occasional use of a pendulum can be used to act as a visual to you for energy flow. A light covering is used because the body temperature often reduces as the parasympathetic nervous system slows down, and I can use a massage table warmer to relax muscles and for your comfort. Your inside healing space will be quiet with optional therapeutic music, lighting and aromatherapy. Expect to feel relaxed and likely drift off to sleep.

I offer crystal ‘prescriptions’ based on our session that identifies exactly the right crystal(s) for your needs, since carrying a crystal with you can enhance your self-healing ability. From there you’re free to source them yourself or I can do that for you, or you can choose from a variety that you can purchase at the time of your session.

Distance healing works equally as well as it does in-person and incorporates both crystals and Reiki, therefore I do offer both and is not a requirement for you to be present in the same room.

I’ve had many, both distant and in-person, healings that have generated notable responses and benefits. Some of the most powerful have been via distance which does leave the part of my mind that is logical in awe!

Remote healing and readings work as it is simply a direction of energy. With regards to Reiki, specific symbols are used that can also clear blockages from the past, and work to the principles of the Hermetic Law of Similarity whereby we are all connected via our energy matter and that we are one part of a larger whole.

Some practitioners don’t use objects that link to the energy field of the client, but I prefer a recent photo as I am visual and find this boosts my claircognizant and clairsentient abilities.

Agreeing on a mutual time for your remote healing is beneficial but not essential. I’ve found that timezone differences don’t always allow for simultaneous session times, but does not negate the healing effects as I send the healing for you to access at a time that is convenient for you. The best time is evening when you can totally relax and wouldn’t be a problem if you fell asleep.

Clients have reported to me felt sensations of where I’ve concentrated their healing, together with differences they’ve noticed either immediately or over the proceeding weeks.

A healing session is for one hour at NZ$75 per session. Alternatively, some clients choose a healing programme of four sessions which I offer for NZ$275.
