Reiki is a Japanese practice of energy work. During a session, you rest on the table while my hands are placed lightly on the body, or held just above it, in a series of positions. The room may smell faintly of Palo Santo. It is quiet.

The idea underneath it is simple. Everything living carries energy. And when we are worn down by stress, or grief, or the pace of our days, we can start to feel disconnected from ourselves. Reiki works with universal life force energy. It does not create anything new. It reconnects you with what has always been there.

Where I Am Coming From

Before Indigo Light Path, I was an oil and gas insurance broker. Fortune 500 accounts, rigs and chemical plants and fleets of a thousand vehicles. I was good at it, and I was not sleeping. I figured that was simply the cost of the job.

What I eventually learned is that you cannot talk yourself into rest. Your body does not stand down just because your calendar cleared. What actually helped me was going somewhere once a week where nothing in the room was my problem. It helped me manage my stress. It supported my sleep. That is not a dramatic story, but it is a true one, and it is a big part of why this work matters to me.

What I Do, and What I Do Not Do

This is the part that matters most to me, so I want to be clear about it.

I am not the source of anything that happens on the table. I think of myself as a clear vessel. Universal energy flows through me, and I clear what is in the way. The rest belongs to you. You do your own healing, in your own time, and I walk beside you while you do it.

There is nothing to force and nothing to fix. I do not decide what you need. The energy moves where it is needed, and it seems to know far better than I do.

What a Reiki Session Can Feel Like

Every session is different, because every person arrives carrying something different.

Some people feel warmth, or tingling, or something like a gentle wave moving through them. Some people cry and are not sure why. Some fall asleep. Some feel nothing they can name and simply get up feeling lighter.

There is no right way to experience it. And you do not have to talk, or explain anything, before or after. Some people want to. Some never do. Both are welcome.

Afterward, many people notice a calm that lasts longer than the drive home. Sleep that comes a little easier that night. Something that felt tangled feeling a little looser. Those changes are usually quiet, and I have learned not to underestimate quiet.

Reiki Belongs to Everyone

Reiki is spiritual, but it is not a religion. It asks you to believe nothing and to give up nothing. People come to it through faith, through meditation, through nature, or through plain curiosity, and all of those are welcome here.

You do not need to be certain it works. You only need to be willing to lie down and see what happens.

Coming Home to Yourself

I have found that the biggest changes rarely arrive as breakthroughs. More often they arrive slowly. A deeper breath. A better night of sleep. A little more room inside than there was before.

And perhaps, for the first time in a long while, the quiet feeling that you have come home to yourself.
