Reiki & Energy Work

What is Reiki/Energy Work

Reiki is a non-invasive “hands on” energy healing modality. It works with each individual’s life force energy or “ki”, the energy that is in and around all living things. The effects of harsh situations such as stress or illness can impact the balance and flow of this energy through the body’s subtle energy fields (aura, chakras, and meridians). Reiki assists in re-establishing positive flow, bringing a feeling of peacefulness, harmony and balance. A Reiki practitioner simply acts as a vessel for the energy by placing their hands in various positions around the body during at treatment. Reiki is not a religion and holds no doctrines or creeds – it is open to everyone who wishes to receive the energy.

Deborah Hackett-Jones - COMING MAY 1ST 2023

End-Of-Life-Doula, Reiki Master/Teacher, Psychotherapist Counsellor, Medical Intuitive, Integrated Energy Therapist (LET)

deborah@whitbymassage.com

Deborah has 20 years of experience as a Integrative Energy Therapist with many modalities. Her passion is to help others reconnect with their inner self. During the birth of her first child, she was in a coma for 2 weeks and crossed over to the other side. This experience gave her a clearer understanding of her purpose and path in this life. She is also a two-time cancer survivor with a lust for life. 

       Our life-force can be affected by underlying stress, grief, adrenal fatigue and environmental toxins. She focuses on clearing the energy paths within us to allow our bodies to work at its full potential. When our energies flow, our vibrations rise optimizing internal body function, grounding and healing and leaves us with a greater sense of being centered. She has worked with mentors in all areas of her practice and her native roots. Her life experiences have given her the ability to connect with clients on a mental/emotional, physical and spiritual level.

       She specializes in Energy Therapy and Reiki. Integrative Energy Therapy (IET) is a safe, gentle, nurturing way to empower and balance your life by helping you increase your sense of well-being, life purpose, happiness, creativity, and health. Through Energy Therapy, you heal the body by activating its natural healing energies, and by restoring energies that have become weak, disturbed, blocked or out of balance. Being grounded helps you physically, emotionally/mentally and spiritually. Deborah combines these modalities that will help you ground, align, and balance your energies to move freely through your body.

Chakra Work

According to ancient Ayurveda, (knowledge of healing body/mind connections), chakras are invisible disks of spinning energy located throughout our bodies. There are 7 main chakras in the body – each one represents a physical, emotional and energetic portion of ourselves and sends energy to the nearby organs, bones and tissues. These energy databases absorb and transform energy into nourishment for our physical, emotional and spiritual selves. If we experience situations in life that may have come from stress, negativity or illness, they can imprint and get stuck in the chakras. Closed, blocked, or enlarged chakras can diminish our energy; we could feel listless, tired, depressed or emotional. Clearing and releasing the energy helps us to achieve overall body/mind well-being.

What can this therapy treatment do for me?

Reiki can lessen stress, anxiety and fatigue, improve circulation, lower blood pressure, relieve headaches, aid sleep and assist with pain. The most common benefit is the comforting, relaxing and peaceful feeling that most people experience during a session and often for days and months afterwards. Reiki is subjective and subtle as it is combined with the desire of the individual to work on self-healing and wellbeing on emotional, physical and spiritual levels. The intention of Reiki energy is to go where it needs to go for the greatest good of the individual. Chakra balancing is another form of energy work to attain balance and body/mind harmony. When we know the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual meanings in our chakras and practice opening and clearing them, we become aware of how we can help ourselves to heal, feel more peaceful, grounded, energized and confident.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive “hands on” energy healing modality. Reiki assists in re-establishing positive flow, bringing a feeling of peacefulness, harmony and balance.

What to expect

Reiki can be given while the client is lying on a massage table or sitting in a chair. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner places their hands in various positions, including around the head, shoulders, stomach and feet. Hand placements are non-invasive and can be held gently on or over the body. The experience of receiving Reiki can be felt differently by each individual - recipients may feel sleepy, peaceful, relaxed or drift off into a meditative state. Often one may experience sensations such as tingling, muscle release, or a glowing warmth or pulsation from the practitioner’s hands. Most people feel that it is a very comforting and personal experience. Reiki can leave one feeling refreshed and balanced. Therapists remove their ego when giving a treatment; the practitioner is simply a clear channel for the energy work to flow through - Reiki has a positive effect on all types of illnesses and is an excellent stress and anxiety reduction tool

         For chakra work, the client lies on a massage table fully clothed. Chakra work can involve assessment of chakra spin, breath work, meditation, aromatherapy, visualization, Reiki and/or polarity energy treatments and affirmations.

Sound Healing Therapy

Sound is an ancient healing medium. It has been utilized for well being around the world for thousands of years. When utilized consciously and intentionally, sound has the potential to soothe the nervous system, quiet and focus the mind, settle emotions, relieve pain and more. Sound Healing Therapy through the vibrations of a tuning fork, drum, or even specially composed music can leave you in a welcoming state of calm and relaxation. Our body is surrounded by an energy field, which science refers to as your “biofield”. Your biofield has electromagnetic energy that surrounds and infuses the human body (also known as Chi, Aura and the Energy Field).
