It was amazing to feel my mind and body truly relax. Just one Reiki session can't change your life, but I can say that in the week that have followed I've felt a bit more emotionally stable. The solar plexus is in charge of all of that self-empowerment goodness, so it would make sense that I'd feel the impact of the session in my stomach. I had told her that I wanted to work on my anxiety levels, which were getting unmanageable, and the stresses of starting a new job and feeling like I wasn't enough. But she reminded me that we'd worked on my solar plexus, which are located in the stomach. Rutsch emailed me to check-in and I told her about my stomach pain and that I'd attributed it to too much caffeine or stress.
I spent the entire day in bed afraid to eat anything beyond saltines and rice and peas (my go-to childhood meal for an upset stomach). Two days later I had terrible stomach pain. It probably wasn't the best use of my post-spiritual-healing time, but it kept that calm feeling going. After a few minutes, I had to go inside and lie down. It was 75 ☏ and I was sitting outside shivering in a throw blanket. Once my session with Rutsch ended, I tried to sit on the deck with my mom and brother, but I was so cold. But I know what I felt meditation has never made me feel this way. There's still so much about Reiki I don't yet understand. And that transcends time and space."Īfter being raised in Christianity and discovering that wasn't really my jam, I am still very early on in my spiritual journey. And so I hold this perfect picture in my head, in my mind's eye, and I direct the energy and focus to the spirit of the person that I'm working with. I recognize that we both have this higher level of self. " Hon sha ze sho nen is basically saying that the Buddha in me is the Buddha in you.
"There is no such thing as time and space," says Hallums. Hallum explains that distance Reiki happens by channeling the symbol hon sha ze sho nen. Unlike the Holy Fire Reiki practiced by Rutsch, where there is only one symbol (The Holy Fire), there are many symbols in Usui Reiki. Hallums practices Usui Reiki, one of the first type of Reiki that was introduced outside Japan. Reiki can be traced back to 1920s, and many forms of Reiki have since been created. And I am still reeling off of the calmness,'" recalls Hallums. "He said 'I don't know what that was, but I felt like I had a muscle relaxer and two glasses of wine after that. A few days after the session, the client reached out to Hallums and further expressed his gratitude. Hallums set up an altar with a picture of his client, a candle, and a flower to better focus his attention. Hallums recently arranged a session with a client and texted him to let him know when he'd be sending the Reiki his way. Generally, when I'm doing a remote session with someone, I don't need you here, but I'd prefer the person to be in a relaxed state you could be going on about your day and you're still going to notice the effect." "It also depends on how sensitive one is. "I have given people Reiki in New Zealand and they have felt the effects of it," he says. While Reiki can be done over Zoom, Hallums says it can also be done with very little interaction. With the use of technology we are able to help clients with greater clarity and mastery." Clients are in the comfort of their own home.
"However, I find them to be even more powerful. "I think most clients didn't think distance sessions would be as beneficial," says Rutsch. The energy works directly on you, I'm just helping you see it."Īnd I'm not the only one who has a hard time grasping that. When I channel that it goes directly to the client and I don't have to do anything. (The "holy" is tied to the root word whole and is not meant to denote religion.) "It just means source comes straight from God, or the universe, or the higher power. "If it's in person or distance there's no difference," says Rutsch. I asked her how virtual reiki was even possible, and it's apparently not that far off as it sounds. Rutsch was patient and kind and didn't seem bothered. So it was no surprise when I was five minutes late to a virtual Reiki session in my own bedroom.
I'm consistently that girl™ who shows up to a yoga class three minutes late and awkwardly rolls out my mat trying not to disturb the opening breathwork.
