Frequently asked questions

What is Reiki?

Reiki means ‘universal life energy’ and describes a natural healing system.  When this energy flows freely, we feel balanced and well. Whereas, blocked energy can lead to stress, anxiety, illness, and imbalance. Reiki restores balance and supports the body’s natural healing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.

In-person treatments involve Reiki Practitioners channeling energy by placing their hands directly on or slightly above the client’s (fully clothed) body. If an in-person treatment isn’t possible, Reiki can also be sent remotely as distance healing.

Reiki energy flows where it’s most needed, always providing the perfect amount. It’s a gentle, beautiful healing method, working subtly regaining balance within your mind, body and spirit.

 

What is Crystal Therapy?

Crystals have been used for centuries by various civilisations to aid in daily life and healing. Each crystal vibrates at a unique frequency, connecting with our energy field to enhance emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Crystal healing, or crystal therapy, is a holistic, natural method that uses crystal energy to unblock, focus, and direct energy. It is non-invasive, works with other treatments, or can stand alone, aiming to restore balance by adjusting subtle energy flows through clearing, transmuting, or replenishing them. 

Crystals can be placed on or near the body during treatments, or their energy can be sent distantly if in-person sessions aren’t possible.

 

Who Can Benefit from Reiki and Crystal Healing?

Reiki and Crystal Healing are versatile practices, suitable for people of all ages, gentle enough for children, and even beneficial for animals.

 

What if I have a medical condition or currently under medical supervision?

Angelic Reiki, Usui Reiki and Crystal Healing use high-vibrational energies to promote balance and well-being. Please consult your GP or specialist if you have any concerns or conditions such as, but not exclusively: a pacemaker, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer or are in the first trimester of pregnancy. If you are taking medication and regularly receiving any holistic therapy, be sure to inform your doctor as they can assess whether adjustments to your treatment or medication may be necessary.

 

How can holistic healing benefit me?

Holistic healing embraces a whole-person approach, recognising the connection between body, mind, and spirit.  It empowers individuals to actively engage with their well-being, deepening their connection to physical and emotional needs while improving quality of life.

Holistic healing:

  • Promotes deep relaxation, supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself
  • Enhances mental clarity
  • Improves sleep
  • Helps reduce pain and ease discomfort
  • Compliments medical treatment and other therapies
  • Nurtures Spiritual Growth
  • Promotes harmony and balance

What can I expect during my in-person 1:1 Reiki session?

Your appointment includes a personalised consultation, giving you the chance to share any concerns, well-being goals, and any areas where you seek healing. You will have time to relax and set your intentions, followed by approximately 30 minutes of Reiki.  Afterwards, we’ll take some time to reflect on any insights, emotions, or feelings that arose and explore how best to integrate them into your daily life for lasting benefits.

 

What can I expect during my remote Reiki session?

Just as effective as in-person treatments, healing energy can reach someone across the globe with the same power as if they were right in front of you. One of the key benefits of remote healing is the comfort and convenience of experiencing it from your own home. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and includes a follow-up email summarising any insights or observations that arose during your treatment.

 

How do I prepare for an in-person Reiki session with Angel Holistics?

To gain the most out of your in-person session, I recommend:

  • Avoid consuming alcohol 24hours before your treatment
  • Wear comfortable clothing
  • Let go of any expectations and just be present in the moment

 

How do I prepare for a remote session with Angel Holistics?

To make the most of your session, I recommend finding a quiet space where you can sit or lie down comfortably during the treatment. This helps you fully relax and be more receptive to the experience.

If you can:

  • Avoid consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours before your session.
  • Take 5–10 minutes beforehand to settle yourself and create a calm environment.
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  • Have blankets on hand to stay warm and cosy.
  • Play soothing, relaxing music if you’d like.
  • Let go of expectations and simply allow yourself to be present in the moment.

Additionally, you may wish to set a personal intention to receive the healing in a way that aligns with your greatest and highest good.

 

What should I know about aftercare?

After a healing session, it’s essential to tune in and listen to your body. It will guide you toward what it needs to further release old energies and toxins, supporting your continued healing process.

Each person’s experience is unique. While some may feel energised, joyful, or peaceful, others may experience short lived symptoms such as:

  • Chills, headaches, etc.
  • Increased urination as your body detoxifies
  • Emotional release, such as feeling weepy as old memories or emotions resurface
  • General aches and pains

To ease any discomfort, make sure to stay well-hydrated and allow yourself plenty of rest. These self-care practices can help your body process and recover more smoothly.

You might also find it helpful to journal about your experience, noting any thoughts, emotions, or insights that surfaced during the session.
