Erika M. Schreck, Turtle Healing Energy, offers reiki sessions in Boulder, Colorado, as well as locally and distantly.
For reiki sessions with me, an in-person reiki session is typically conducted in the following way, and reiki sessions by phone and Zoom follow a similar approach. I also offer remote “absentee” reiki [I do the reiki on my own time, often using a photo of you, someone else or your pet, and I email recorded notes].
What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a hands-on or hands-hovering, non-invasive, non-denominational, spiritual form of relaxation and stress reduction that promotes healing, health and peace. With Japanese origin, reiki is composed of two words: “Rei” (Divine Wisdom and Light) and “Ki” (life force energy). Reiki is a wonderful, relaxing experience that can heal emotional blocks and trauma, deter addiction, offer clarity and relieve discomfort; each session is often different, and every person has their own experiences. I have observed and like to explain that reiki works on the cellular level.
Reiki is a form of bodywork, similar to massage and acupuncture, that is often experienced fully clothed and comfortably on a massage table. It can be a catalyst for healing and can bring attention to areas and patterns needing attention.
A Typical Reiki Session with Me
Reiki sessions for adults are typically about 75 minutes (but can also be scheduled for 60 or 90 minutes), including pre-session check-in, table time and post-session check-in, and are completed fully clothed. I begin your session with initial check-in, which includes my sharing intuitive insights. Additionally, I ask about physical, spiritual, emotional and mental concerns and/or patterns where you would like more focus and for your main intentions and needs for that day’s session. You don’t need to have something “wrong” to experience the benefits of reiki.
As I do reiki for you, I use different, traditional reiki hand positions and trust intuitive guidance for other reiki approaches and focus. Some clients say they experience different sensations, while others may feel virtually nothing; regardless, reiki will work energetically and can do no harm. At the end of the session, I encourage you to drink water before leaving and to increase water intake for the rest of the day; additionally, we briefly discuss your experience and perhaps end with goal-setting. Each session is so different and individual, and clients leave relaxed, lighter, more positive, and clearer. For in-person sessions, I handwrite notes for you to take with you at the end of your session.
While offering reiki, many practitioners and I receive intuitive and spiritually guided messages, which are not necessarily inherent with reiki healing. I typically share these messages at the end of the session.
I live in Boulder, Colorado USA, but I can do reiki sessions by phone and Zoom [scheduled time, live and participatory] or even in “absentee” form [not live or participatory with you; I email recorded notes after I do reiki on my own time, per your request]—these remote reiki sessions are just as powerful as in-person sessions. I also do reiki for kids and pets. Reiki sessions for children are a bit shorter sessions, and for pets I can do a remote absentee session (and sometimes offer a home visit).
