Check out the interview below!
When did you start Rejuvenating Hands and what was the motivation for you in that journey?
I guess I’m like most people. I found I needed something in my life and I wasn’t sure what that would be until I had a Reiki treatment and thought WOW! After that I trained using the Japanese style of Usui Reiki Ryoho.
I started Rejuvenating Hands in 2009 and I then trained with Philip Permutt and other wonderful crystal teachers to develop my own crystal course.
My other qualifications are:
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Hypnotherapy
Time Line Therapy™
Reiki & Crystal Therapy Master / Trainer
Munay Ki Rites
What are the healing sessions and courses that you offer to your clients and students?
I hold the only Reiki federation approved and verified Reiki courses in Essex, Reiki classes are taught in 3 levels.
Level 1 is Shoden, and is the beginning of your Reiki journey. Level 1 is all about you, clearing and balancing your energy. We like you to practise lotson yourself and family members before you move on to level 2.
Level 2 is Okuden, which is for becoming a practitioner and developing your Reiki. On this level we learn about the Symbols and Mantras.
Master and teacher level is Shinpiden. On this level you can deepen your development of Reiki and learn how to become a teacher.
My crystal courses run over 2 levels.
I offer free CPD days and Reiki shares where students can come and practise and learn something new. My students can also benefit from re-sitting courses free of charge.
I believe in looking after my students so I have facebook and WhatsApp groups. My Reiki & Crystal treatments are an hour long.
What are the most common issues and conditions that your clients bring to you?
Stress. Most issues and conditions start with stress. Using Reiki and Crystals I can help and teach my clients methods to help them relax and destress.
What do you believe are the main causes for low self-esteem and lack of confidence?
Media, especially nowadays with special filters people can use on their phones and airbrushing on magazines. Pier pressure also plays a part.
Do you believe that those issues are more common these days, especially with younger people?
I’m not sure, I remember feeling very low with self-esteem and confidence issues when I was a teenager, we only had the TV (4 channels only!) and magazines, not realising at the time models were airbrushed. Social media can be brilliant but also has a lot to answer for with cyber bullying.
Can you share with us the benefits of reiki and how it can help with many issues?
Reiki is the name given to a method of natural healing that works with life force energy, using specific techniques and principles to relax and release any energy blockages.
Reiki is the vital life energy which flows through all living things and which can be utilised for the purpose of therapeutic treatments. Reiki practitioners believe that everyone has the ability to connect to their own healing energy and use it for the purposes of strengthening the Ki (energy) of others.
It is a safe, non-intrusive, non-diagnostic and non-manipulative therapy that can help to de-stress, rebalance and recharge the mind, body and spirit. Reiki, which was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century and was brought to the West by Hawayo Takata in 1938.
Reiki’s gentle energy is safe for people of all ages.
Reiki can enhance everyday living and regular sessions may help to develop a healthier and more resourceful state of being. Reiki is being used in some GP surgeries, hospitals, hospices, cancer support groups as well as complementary therapy centers and private practices.
A session is usually carried out with the recipient / client lying down or sitting in a clean, comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki will pass through all materials including plaster casts.
The practitioner places their hands gently on or over the body and channels the energy (Ki) through their hands to the recipient, activating the body’s natural ability to support itself. During the session the recipient may experience a mild tingling sensation or feel warm, or cool, most however feel calm and totally relaxed.
Can you share a special message with our audience in these challenging times?
Somethings you just can’t fix, and my favourite saying is…. “It is what it is” and let it go then concentrate on what you can fix.
