I get it, seeing a healing practitioner in person is so cozy, rewarding and comfy. I miss seeing you in person too! However, during these interesting times when virtual sessions are our best option, we need to make the most of it.. plus, you get to wear your pajamas while receiving your treatment;)
Receiving Distance Reiki, guided journeying or truly any other virtual healing treatment can be just as, if not MORE comfy than in person with a few steps! Let’s face it, we are likely spending more time on facetime, zoom and skype than not so these tips can apply to your other non-healing meetings as well!
Location, location, location. Where you choose to sit or lay during a virtual session matters. If possible, make sure your space is:
-Quiet
-Clean, free of clutter or work materials that may distract
-In an area where others in your home are able to give you privacy
-Let your loved ones know you’re unavailable during the session
2. Energetic Cleanse: Our homes carry energy that we don’t necessarily need in our session with us. To clear:
-Light a candle of intention. Light the candle and say a mantra or prayer asking the space to be cleared
-Utilize rose water, incense, or a diffuser to infuse peaceful aromas into your space
-Take a moment to close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine golden light filling your space
3. Get Comfy
-Wear whatever is comfortable for you! The cozier, the better.
-Most sessions can be done with you sitting or laying down. Get your favorite pillows or blankets!
-Tea please! Make your favorite relaxing tea(I love chamomile/peppermint) or grab a glass of water
4. Technology!
- Try out the tech beforehand so you’re comfortable with it before the session. I use Zoom for my sessions.
-Zoom has great tutorials: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-Video-Tutorials
-Please close out of any other programs/websites you don’t need so you can stay focused
-Put your other devices on airplane mode or do not disturb
5. Music!
-Get some relaxing music ready to play on your end. I love Spotify and have created a Reiki playlist you can listen to: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3Gvr6GQVp9vGTSzfvhzZRE
Otherwise check out relaxing playlists on Youtube like this one:
6. Take Your Time
-A lot can come up in these session! Give yourself time afterward to breathe, call a friend, write and just “be” with yourself after the session before jumping into your next call!
-A nice long shower or bath followed by a nourishing meal is a great way to keep the healing energy flowing after. I’ve been liking this one lately:
7. Relax and enjoy your treatment!
