FAQ
Q: "WHAT DOES REIKI MEAN?"
A: Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. "Reiki" is a Japanese word that translates into ‘Rei’ - Universal Life Force and ‘Ki’ - Energy. Together they mean ‘Universal Life Force Energy’. If you practice Yoga, Chi Gong, Meditation or have had therapies such as Acupuncture or Ayurvedic Medicine you will have heard of the terms 'chi', 'ki', 'prana' and 'life force'. Each culture has a different way of describing energy and how to rebalance and realign energy in the body.
Q: "WHEN WE DO A REIKI SESSION, IS THIS YOUR ENERGY? WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?"
A: Reiki does not draw from my energy. During my training, I was attuned to Universal Source Energy. I serve as a conduit for that energy so it can better work through your own energy systems.
Q: "HOW DOES REIKI WORK?"
A: Reiki is based on the belief that there is a life force energy that flows through all living things. When this energy is blocked or disrupted, it can cause an unwell state of being. Reiki helps to restore the flow of this energy by rebalancing the body’s energy centers.
Q: "WHAT IS SOUND HEALING?"
A: Sound Healing uses various sounds and vibrations produced by instruments like singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, or even voice to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being.
Q: "HOW CAN SOUND HEAL?"
A: Sound healing works by creating resonance within the body, encouraging a sense of harmony, balance, and overall well-being. The calming vibrations can soothe the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation of both body and mind.
Emerging research also suggests that sound waves may reach deep into the body’s tissues and cells, potentially supporting healing and regeneration on a cellular level.
Q: "WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SOUND BATH?"
A: During a sound bath, participants are invited to lie down in a comfortable position while I play singing bowls or tuning forks. The resonant sound waves create a deeply immersive experience, gently "bathing" the body in healing vibrations. This full-body listening experience helps quiet the mind, ease tension, and promote a meditative, deeply relaxed state.
Q: "WHERE ARE YOUR SESSIONS HELD?"
A: Sessions are generally held at the Healing Echoes, LLC office located at 108 W. Main St. in Manhattan, MT. Some services (Sacred Ceremonies and Group Services) can be at your chosen space or venue in the greater Bozeman, MT area. Ideally, the setting will be quiet and peaceful- an environment where you can fully relax, unwind, and allow healing to take place on all levels: body, mind, and soul. Sessions are available for individuals or groups, and Sound Healing & Reiki can also be offered virtually for your convenience.
Q: "WHAT ARE SACRED CEREMONIES?"
A: Sacred Ceremonies are held in group settings, either indoors or surrounded by nature, and are created to honor ourselves, our shared connection, and the world around us. These gatherings are deeply healing, meditative, and spiritual experiences. They may include elements such as dancing, chanting, drumming, and other instruments- all provided to support the flow of the ceremony. Each ceremony is thoughtfully tailored to you, your group, and the intention or event being celebrated.
