I want to share something a little personal with you. This year I promised myself that I'd start to be more true to myself and the direction that I want my life and business to move in and I'm so excited to take you with me!
This promise is taking me on a path to learning more about the holistic side of life like Reiki, meditation, and eventually sound therapy!
I’m sure you’re asking:” What’s this mean for me?” or “Why should I care?” Maybe even, “Wtf is Reiki?”
I recently got certified in Reiki I & II and have started incorporating it into my services in the salon for you!
If you’re not familiar with Reiki, or maybe you’ve heard of it but don’t really know what it is, here’s a little rundown for ya!
Reiki (at least the form I practice, currently) is a Japanese practice of energy work or energy healing created by a man named Dr. Mikao Usui. It’s a non-religious, but sometimes spiritual practice that involves a “laying on of the hands”. Basically a gentle healing touch that helps to channel universal energy to where it’ll do the most good in your body.
It promotes:
Relaxation
Stress and Anxiety Reduction
Better sleep
Peace of Mind
And Overall well being
It’s based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through us all and by tapping into that energy it helps promote healing and balance within the body.
I mostly like to think of it this way:
Most people realize that the body and mind have an ability to heal itself. This is how we recover from colds, cuts, and sometimes even old traumas.
If you've ever been in the hospital - or even seen basically any tv show where someone is in the hospital after an accident or heart attack - you're told that now you need to "rest and recover, preferably without any outside stressors" (which inevitably show up right afterwards in the show or movie).
If your body, mind, or spirit is holding onto stress and tension you're going to heal from that cold, cut, trauma, or surgery soooo much slower.
Reiki helps relax you and gives you space to let those stresses go and free up your body's energy resources to focus on the healing or work that really needs to be done instead of holding onto that tension.
During the experience, you may feel gentle warmth or tingling sensations, or maybe simply feel very relaxed and peaceful. Either way, the intention is to help you release any energetic blocks or tension in your body and promote a sense of calm and balance.
So when you think about it, adding Reiki to my hair services is a no-brainer. I always want you to feel taken care of from the inside out when you are with me. I truly believe (and see with my own eyes every freaking day!) that when we feel good on the inside, it shows on the outside. And when you see that energy on the outside, it grows that good energy on the inside even more. It’s a beautiful cycle of feel good = look good, look good = feel good.
If you’re curious about Reiki or want to give it a try, I’d love to chat with you about it and how it can benefit you!
Feel free to reach out to me anytime to learn more or schedule a 30 or 60 minute Reiki session. You can also add a mini session onto your hair appointment to experience a luxurious shampoo, style or color, and Reiki session all in one!
