COVID-19 health precautions and reiki

Posted on by

Currently, as of October 2022, much has changed in terms of the NSW government guidelines for managing COVID. People no longer need to isolate, but are asked, if they have COVID, to stay at home.

So, it seems like life is almost back to normal, whatever that is. Generally, as I only see up to two clients a day (very occasionally three), and I’m the only one who gives treatments, I always considered my reiki service to be more like a visit to a friend, and very low risk of infections either from me or to me.

Still, we know that Omicron is very infectious. So:

  • If you are sick, please don’t come for a treatment. If you have a fever, cough or difficulty breathing, please seek medical care and COVID-19 testing. If you’ve made an appointment and need to cancel it, please let me know as early as possible that you’re not coming.
  • I would prefer to give treatments to clients who have been at least double-vaccinated. I won’t check your vaccination certificate though and will operate on trust. 

Mask-wearing.

  • If you would like to wear a mask during the treatment, I’m happy with that but I’m also fine with you not wearing a mask.
  • I’m also fine if you would like me to wear a mask during the treatment.
  • We can take off our masks if and when we’re drinking water or tea. 

If you’ve been exposed to COVID-19 and it’s suggested that you self-isolate, please don’t come for a treatment at this time. For my part, I’ll make sure the place is clean and tidy and that my hands are washed, though I would do this during non-COVID-19 times too. Thanks for reading. Hope to see you soon.

Radio interview: Is reiki legitimate if it can’t be proven to work?

Posted on by

I think I’ve only ever posted writing about reiki, and maybe a link to a video or two, so it’s good to be able to share this radio interview with you, in case that’s the way you like to receive information:

Can Reiki be a legitimate treatment if no one can prove how it works?

It’s an interview with Jordan Kisner for CBC radio (from Canada, my homeland). Kisner is a journalist and was really interested in finding out how reiki works, and did reiki training along the way. I think the interview is really interesting in that Kisner reports on her findings in a balanced and objective way: she didn’t find a clear explanation for how reiki works, but she also asks if it’s really necessary to know. I don’t think most people know exactly how aspirin works or a vaccine, and yet most of us put our trust in them.

I also love her reporting of the answer to the question, ‘During a reiki treatment, what are you supposed to be thinking or doing to the person being treated?’ Her reiki teacher said ‘Nothing. You’re just supposed to love them’.

I’ve found the article in The Atlantic that Kisner wrote and the interview is based on, but I’ll save that for another post!

Is that it?

What if a reiki treatment is just relaxing to quiet music in a room for 50 minutes?

A person standing next to you who wants you to feel better?

Time when you’re not thinking?

Or time when you’re only thinking about yourself instead of other people?

The only time in the day (or week) that you’re not thinking about what you’ll do next?

Or worrying about a problem or hurting because of something that happened?

What if a reiki treatment is just making a decision to try something new, or to feel better, and then actively making the time to do so, and then going to do it?

One of the only times that you’re awake but not checking your phone?

A conscious act to take care of yourself?

What if that’s all reiki is? Would you find it helpful?

Don’t come to reiki!

Posted on by

Not long ago, a client called up about her treatment. I had worried about her, since she made the booking at 2am for the morning after, but then she rescheduled to the next day. But she called in the morning. Should she come? She was feeling absolutely terrible, and couldn’t get in to see her therapist, and was tired and just wanted to sleep.

I was glad she asked. I think if you’re in a crisis, reiki isn’t really going to help. If you know that it will help you in a situation like this, then by all means, book in for a treatment. But otherwise, I think that if a client is too upset to really function then a reiki treatment, which is about tapping into a quiet, healing energy, isn’t going to be possible. And as I’ve written before, reiki is a collaboration. I can’t make you heal, or make you feel quiet or relaxed. You have to be open to healing and being in a state to receive that healing.

Another client weeks before had come, actively hurting from a relationship breakup. While I hoped that a treatment could help ease her pain and relax her, she said there was too much quiet and too much time to think. She spent the whole treatment thinking about her breakup and I’m not sure if the treatment helped in any way.

As a final scenario, I’d recommend not coming to reiki if you’re not familiar with it and you’re hoping for a very specific result (particularly in terms of a physical issue). This reminds me that I had a client years ago who felt a cold coming on and came in to try to prevent it from doing so … which didn’t work. But what I’m thinking of is a person who called up because their parent’s cancer treatment wasn’t working. As we chatted, it became clear that they had no idea what reiki is: they were wondering whether people get blocked energy which causes illness (I’ve written about this and believe no) and it sounded like they desperately just wanted something which could work for their parent. Reiki should never substitute for medical treatment and I also never want to give someone false hope. A person recently called who wanted a cure for terrible headaches that he’s had for four years, that doctors and therapists haven’t been able to help. But he had no idea what reiki was, and I advised him not to come since it didn’t sound like he would be satisfied unless he found his magic cure.

Most of my clients find reiki beneficial and some think it’s wonderful. But I can’t guarantee specific results and you have to be in a state to be able to receive it. So, if you sound like any of these scenarios above, don’t come to reiki! But if you’re interested in a treatment for other reasons, or you’ve had reiki before, do come to reiki! I look forward to seeing you.

Is that relationship really toxic?

Posted on by

I’ve had many clients visit over the years who have talked about being in a toxic relationship as a reason for coming for a treatment. It could be a romantic relationship or just a friendship, or used to describe a workplace. And it got me wondering about the word ‘toxic’ and what’s it all about?

Lillian Glass is a specialist in communication, who had a private practice in Beverly Hills, first helping those with voice and speech disorders, and then working on self-confidence and communication skills to the stars. She’s the author of 12 books, including the 1995 book Toxic People. Glass describes a toxic relationships as one in which people ‘don’t support each other, where there’s conflict and one seeks to undermine the other, where there’s competition, where there’s disrespect and a lack of cohesiveness.’

So, I can see how the expression can be useful. If someone is trying to make a relationship work or is ignoring how it is not working, defining the relationship as ‘toxic’ could be the push the person needs to get out of the relationship. It can be used to say, ‘I’m going to stop pretending this is good, and I need to find ways out of it.’

But I do worry that this idea and language has been spreading far and wide for over two decades now and that in some cases, it might not be accurate or true.

People are complicated. Relationships and friendships are complicated. The differences between us can cause friction and misunderstanding.

The other thing is that friendships and relationships may not last forever, and nor do they need do. We have different reasons for being in each other’s lives, and sometimes what worked for a while, doesn’t work any longer. Instead of sounding like I’m preaching, I should admit that it’s been one of my great weaknesses in life to hang onto friendships for dear life, to fret and worry about their maintenance and being in contact, and to focus too much on them. I have left friendships behind. Others have left me behind. But I have learned, over time, to accept that. As one of my friends told me long ago, ‘Doors open, doors close’.

If it truly does help you to recognise a relationship as toxic, because it prompts you to action to do something about it, then by all means, do so. But otherwise, I invite you to do some reflection. While I understand that there are some people who act in really negative ways and treat others badly, my worry is that based on my many clients, quite a few people classify every negative relationship as ‘toxic’, rather than a more objective understanding that relationships and friendships don’t always last and that they may require work and effort. I also think that it may be really hard to let go of relationships and move on if you’ve classified them in your mind as being, literally, poisonous.

What I say before each treatment

Posted on by

If you’ve been for a reiki treatment with me, you’ll have heard this before… What I say to clients when they come for a treatment and before it starts. If you come for a treatment, this is what you’ll hear:

  • I’ll welcome you to the apartment, ask you to take off your shoes and if you need to use the bathroom before we start.
  • I’ll invite you to sit down and ask if you want water or tea.
  • Then I’ll ask you why you came for a treatment or if you’ve had reiki before.
  • I’ll respond to the explanation of why you’ve come with whether it’s common for other people to come for the same reasons, or I might ask you if there are other actions that you are taking to address the situation, particularly if a situation is complex or a problem longstanding.
  • I’ll ask if you have any other questions, and then invite you to lie on the table, with your head on the pillow, looking up, and that most people like the under-knee pillow to keep them straightened out.
  • If it’s cold weather, I’ll ask if you want a cover, and if it’s hot, I’ll ask if the fan is on a fast enough setting!
  • Then, this is what I say to start things off:
  • ‘I invite you to close your eyes and relax into this space that you’ve given to yourself.’ Not everyone closes their eyes automatically, so it’s good to say so. I have had some clients open their eyes at times, but I think it’s best to be relaxed to close one’s eyes instead of looking at the fan or ceiling, or trying to see what I’m doing. Then I like to acknowledge that clients have made done a positive act already by either wanting to address a problem, try out reiki, or just feel better. Even if the treatment was a gift, a client still needs to make time for themselves to come to the treatment. And it’s all part of the idea that the treatment is a partnership. I’m not doing reiki on you. You are joining me in a healing treatment.
  • ‘Take in a few long and slow breaths, and if that feels comfortable, continue to do for the treatment’. It’s amazing how little breath some people take. But it’s so important to relaxing and being still. You can feel it the moment that you take in a big, deep breath of air. Rarely, if I see someone having troubles with breathing, I might suggest taking in a breath of air to the count of four or five, and exhale at the same pace. Try it. It feels good, doesn’t it?
  • ‘You can allow your mind to wander, think of nothing, meditate or follow your breath, whatever feels most comfortable.’ So many clients early on asked ‘What should I do during a treatment?’ that I thought I should try to set the scene right away. I also want to counter the idea that to meditate, or receive reiki, or to be still, that your mind automatically clears and you stop thinking. Our minds are always in motion; that’s what they do. If you want to meditate, it’s not about clearing the mind completely for an hour. It’s noticing when the mind wanders away, and then bringing it back to the centre (or your breath). And do it again. And again. Many clients report that they had trouble stopping thinking about their problems or otherwise, or that the reiki treatment did help them to still their minds. I think what’s important is not to fight the thoughts too much, to either let the mind wander or think of nothing, in a gentle way and see what comes up. I used to say ‘You can think about the issues you’re facing’ because I do think that in a relaxed state, you can sometimes solve your problems or see new solutions; but I worry if clients get caught up thinking about their problems the whole treatment in a way that interferes with them relaxing. So I’ve stopped saying it!
  • ‘Finally, I invite to take part in healing yourself and to take from this treatment what it is that you need at this time. I’ll ring a bell at the end of the treatment.’ I’ve followed my teacher, Frans Stiene, with this line and I think it’s so important. Again, it’s about not just ‘receiving’ a treatment, but being active: asking your subconscious to heal yourself, and that you are taking an active role in taking what you need, not just hoping that someone else will do the work to heal you. I used to ask that you ‘set the intention to heal yourself’, but I found a fair number of clients got this mixed up with setting intentions, and then, instead of having an open and quiet mind, it seemed they were concentrating very hard on repeating intentions or affirmations. It’s better to just to be open to what the treatment might bring you. 

And then the treatment starts…

A half a dozen reviews of Reiki Surry Hills

Posted on by

As of February 2022, it looks like the Omicron wave of COVID-19 is lessening in Sydney. This period has been a bit quieter for me. I think clients are being somewhat cautious about being out and about; I’ve been doing this too. In this context, I haven’t felt like making too many new blog posts, since we’ve all been a little less active, but perhaps I shall put on my optimistic glasses and try to post a bit more. I’ll start by sharing half a dozen of my first reviews on Fresha, which bought out Bookwell, my old booking service. So far, clients seem to be really enjoying using Fresha, and find it easy to use and book in. My only complaint is that I lost all my Bookwell reviews, as they wouldn’t transfer them over, and I’m discovering now from clients that it’s not particularly easy to leave reviews for me on Fresha. So, if you managed to, special thanks!

Reiki, sleep and remote healing

Posted on by

One of my regular clients, let’s call her Anita to keep her confidentiality, switched to remote reiki treatments during the lockdown. In case you haven’t heard of it, reiki practitioners can give treatments at a distance, to a client in another room, neighbourhood or even country. It is often called ‘distance’ healing, though, as my teacher, Frans Stiene, points out, the whole idea is to ‘be one’, and to share the energetic space, the opposite of distance. I usually use the expression ‘remote reiki’ instead.

If I wasn’t a reiki practitioner myself, I think I might find the concept hard to believe. But at the same time, when we talk to each other by phone, or see each other on the computer using Zoom or Skype, we may not physically be in the same space, but we feel each other. Most of us have had the experience too, of feeling someone we are close to, a family member or partner or friend, thinking about us, even when they are far away. The biggest reason that I believe in remote reiki though is because of my personal experience having them, and the experience of my clients.

In the treatments that I’ve given, I think 100% of my clients have reported ‘feeling’ the treatment and having good results. Because it is a bit more ‘out there’ than a treatment in person, I do check, before someone books for a remote treatment, that they’ve had reiki before and are open to it. I think if you are inexperienced with reiki and don’t know what to expect, or if you’re cynical in any way about it, it would be possible to not feel or block out the effects, perhaps like when you’re supposed to be on a Zoom work call, and instead you’ve turned off the screen and are checking your Facebook!

Anyways, for Anita, what I was excited to learn was that while she didn’t find the remote treatments as strong as in-person ones, she still felt effects. And the proof was in her health monitor, which she later showed me: an inobtrusive rather pretty ring, called an Oura ring, which monitors your heart rate, sleep and relaxation. Her ring told her that when she was having reiki, it was like having a nap: her heart rate slowed down, and her ring thought she was asleep.

More recently, Anita shared with me a screenshot of her Oura ring results, during an in-person treatment, and she gave permission to me to share it with you. I was very excited to see it, as it showed that not only during the treatment did the ring think she was asleep, but that the majority of the sleep (60%) was deep sleep, rather than light sleep. And that out of the 50 minute treatment, she was able to go into that sleep-like state for 43 minutes of it, which seems pretty good to me.

To me, this is a very good explanation of one of the ways that reiki works. It allows your brain to tune into the brain waves of deep relaxation and sleep, rather than the day-to-day brain functioning which helps us get to appointments and not bump into things when we’re walking!

And that place of relaxation is healing. I’ve read that sleep it is when repair and healing takes place. Some people believe dreams are the brain’s way of healing and reordering. When we don’t get enough sleep, we feel bad, and if we don’t get enough sleep over long periods, it can have really detrimental effects on our health.

Many clients say after a treatment, ‘I think I fell asleep’, and I think this is a good thing. Some might ask, why not just get some sleep instead of doing reiki? But I think a reiki treatment is intentional relaxation. It is rest with purpose and the best kind of sleep rather than sleep because you are too tired to stay awake, or because you have to.

The price of a reiki treatment

Posted on by

As of November 2021, the price of a reiki treatment at Reiki Surry Hills $85 for a 50-minute treatment. That’s $85 Australian, since I’m located in Australia (I know some visitors to this website come from overseas)! If you book directly with me and pay in cash, it’s $80.

I just found out from Google that my blog posts on prices are among the most searched for … so I better delete the old posts, and try to keep this one up to date.

When I started my reiki practice in 2012, I charged $60. Cheap, right? In  September 2016, I went up to $75 and in October 2018, I went up by $5. I’m pretty sure my fee is manageable for my clients. In fact, many of you have said how inexpensive my charges are compared to other places in Sydney, and one or two have suggested that I raise the price! My costs have increased too from when I started, for the online booking service, for taking credit card payments, and for paying the Australian Taxation Office.

I did some searching on the internet to see other rates. One person offered 45 minutes for $90, another 50 minutes for $135, another 90 minutes for $150 and another $140 for 60 minutes. There was a mobile reiki (they come to you) for $100 for an hour, which seemed a good rate, considering the convenience, but I don’t know if they are still running. Another place is $90 for an hour, and another place is $95. In Bondi, $100 an hour. An ‘Angelic Reiki Healing and Chakra Balancing Session’ not far from me is $300 for the treatment. On a number of sites, it’s difficult to actually see how much the charge is!

The last time I checked a few years ago, there may have been one or two others at a similar price, but at the moment, it looks like I’ve not only got the best reviews in Sydney, but am also the cheapest! I know that I’m lucky to be able to charge less, because I don’t depend on reiki to make a living, as I have other work. And as I work from home, I don’t have to make up the costs of renting a reiki studio.

If you do want reiki but have troubles affording it, just let me know, and I offer a concession rate of $60 for students and those in a financial bind as long as you book directly and pay in cash. When I was a student, I appreciated discounts, so I want to extend this courtesy to others. On the other hand, if you can afford my regular rate, I’d appreciate you paying it, even if you are a student. I’ve had people wanting a ‘deal’ or who said they can’t afford the regular rate and then drive to the appointment (if you can afford a car in Sydney, I think you can afford to pay the regular rate) or who are wearing rather expensive clothes!

For some years, I’ve been able to take credit card payments with my handy little Square and Verifone devices, or even do payments through my iPhone for appointments booked on Fresha. I still prefer to receive cash, but I know that not many people use cash regularly these days!

And finally, if you cancel, reschedule or don’t show up without more than an hour’s notice, I request a small fee. This will come off automatically from your card if you’ve booked through Fresha. A no show costs me: I will have spent time setting up the room for the appointment and will have blocked off my calendar when someone else could have booked in instead. Thanks for understanding.

My last reviews from Bookwell

Posted on by

So, the latest news, which will only affect some of the clients, is that my booking service, Bookwell, has been bought out by Fresha. I’ve really appreciated Bookwell over the years and it really helped my business. Clients generally find it easier to book online, at their leisure, and the system worked well for me. It’s good to know their team are being absorbed into the new organisation

But now it’s over to Fresha I go (I don’t really have a choice). I’ll need to do some adjustments to my systems around here, although hopefully you won’t notice.

I’ve been told that my reviews from the Bookwell site will stay there, but there will be a link on my profile at Bookwell to make a booking at Fresha instead. Still, it’s a bit of a shame that these amazing reviews won’t be on exactly the same page as my current booking service. I had a 5.0 average rating for 89 reviews. I’m pretty sure I was their best-rated reiki practitioner in Sydney.

In any case, I have diligently copied all of my reviews here into blog posts, over the years, and for posterity, here are my last reviews from Bookwell (they stopped after this because of the Sydney lockdown).

I have visited Andy twice now and both experiences were great. I had not tried reiki before so I was nervous at first but felt welcomed by Andy from the moment I arrived. Andy takes the time to listen understand what brings you to reiki before the session. After both sessions I felt calm and I didn’t feel as overwhelmed. It was as though a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I highly recommend Andy and I look forward to visiting again soon.

My visit with Andy was amazing. From the moment I booked in (at the last mnute btw) i felt taken care of and welcome. This was my first Reiki session so I wasn’t entirely sure wha to expect, Andy welcomed me in, offered me tea and we had a nice conversation about what I was hoping to gain form the session. There was no judgement from him, I felt very comfortable. After the reiki session we had another chat and I felt like he really was taking the time to check how I was feeling, and inform me of what to expect in the coming days. Once I got home, I saw he had even followed up with an email outlingin our session and giving me some tips on what toe expect and some tips to help me with my issue. I really do recommend him. The whole expereince was absolutely fantastic and I will definitely be returning.

Andy was very welcoming and took time to listen to my reason’s for booking my session. I felt extremely comfortable with him. He has made his home a beautiful retreat for people seeking help. This was my first Reiki experience and i would highly recommend it to anyone seeking any form of healing. I left my session feeling a lot more at ease with what I’m going through at the moment. As days pass i continue to feel better and stronger. I will definitely be returning for follow up session’s as i feel my soul will truly benefit from this amazing process. Thank you, Andy 🙏

I researched Reiki as I’ve been feeling incredibly stressed, drained, anxious and down. I chose Andy because of his customer reviews… which I can now say are true to their word. Andy’s place and presence are so soothing and comfortable. The treatment was even better than expected. I felt heat, tingles, energy and what I can only describe as an intense release off my shoulders. I felt so much better afterwards. I will definitely go back and I would recommend Andy to anyone!
