Healing Modalities

Here at PranaDevi Energetics we provide synergistic healing by utiltizing a variety of energetic and vibrational modalities. We realize that with so many amazing forms of Lightwork, it can sometimes become confusing. For your convenience we have provided some introductory information about each one of these modalities.

Usui Reiki Reiki is a hands-on healing technique that originated in Japan. It is non-invasive, has no contraindications and does not require the client to disrobe. Reiki has been clinically proven to reduce stress, aid in pain management, speed recovery from illness and surgery, and mentally support those coping with traumatic life changes and issues. In Europe, hospitals in many countries are staffing Reiki Masters regularly, as they have found them to be indespensible. Surgeons request their presence during high-risk operations, as patients who are supported by Reiki energy during surgery require less anaestheic to keep them under, less pain medicine afterwards, and a faster discharge with fewer complications overall! Following suit, some North American hospitals have begun running Reiki clinics to scientifically document the effects. Insurance companies in Europe and the United States are also beginning to provide limited covereage for Reiki treatments. The positive effects of Reiki are becoming common knowledge in the mainstream, and we here at PranaDevi Energetics couldn't be more pleased! During a Reiki treatment, the client lays on either a massage table, or a yoga mat while the Reiki Master asseses their energetic field and then begins the treatment. A Reiki treatment consists mainly of the healer moving her hands through a series of traditional positions on the body. These hand-positions correspond to the major energetic centers and pathways in the body, called chakras and meridians in Eastern medicine. There is little to no pressure applied by the hands, and at some points the healer may lift them off the body's surface to work in the auric field. All that is required of the client during the treatment is that they close their eyes, relax and open themselves to the experience. The most commonly reported experience during a treatment is a profound sense of peace and relaxation that often lasts for days after a treatment. Other clients may slip into a light-trance or dreamlike state where memories or vivid daydreams may dance before them. Often these visions hold a key to one's current state of health and mind, and can serve as a powerful form of constructive introspection. Our Reiki treatments are not only an effective way to heal your body, mind and spirit, but they are an amazing way to treat yourself and relax!

Ruach Healing Ruach Healing is a method of energy healing that is based in the Western mystical tradition of the Qabalah. Ruach is the Hebrew word for 'breath' and 'spirit'. Ruach is the breath of God and is synonymous with Life. It is the same divine animating force called prana and chi in other cultures. By studying the central glyph of the Qabalah, The Tree of Life, the various aspects of mind-body-soul and their relationship to the Earth, the Universe, and the Divine can be understood more directly. In Ruach Healing, the knowledge of these subtle, but powerful connections between various levels of existance as expounded in the Hebrew mystical tradition of the Qabalah are put to work through an energetic healing session based on these same principals. This form of energywork is more dynamic than many modalities such as Reiki. The recipient will likely hear the practitioner chanting and toning, engaging in breathwork, and slapping their hands together in order to rid themselves of released energies. Ruach Healing is a no-touch system of healing, that works entirely in the energetic atmospheres above and around the physical body. Generally, a large amount of Divine White Light is called into the Kether sphere or crown chakra area of the recipient, and is used by the practitioner to help clear out any areas of stagnant, blocked, or otherwise abnormal energies. After each new energetic "adjustment" is made, the practitioner re-scans the bio-energetic fields to track the overall progress. Very specific energetic vibrations are tapped into through visualization, breathwork, application of esoteric symbols from Judeo-Christian mystical traditions, by the chanting of Hebraic Divine and Angelic names, as well as through intuitive manual manipulations of the energetic fields. These vibrations are used to continually assess, clear, charge, balance, and seal the energetic bodies of the recipient. Once the recipient's energy has been successfully cleared as much as possible, the practitioner will charge up the entire subtle body with fresh, vital White Light energies. This portion of the session can be performed lying down, and is the more passive and relaxing section of the treatment for the recipient. Upon completion of the charging, the aura is expanded, calmed, smoothed and finally sealed.

Crystal Healing Crystal healing is sometimes referred to today as the 'laying on of stones', and is a very popular modality of vibrational energywork. During an Intuitive Energetic Bodywork treatment that includes crystal healing, stones will be placed on the body, and may also be placed around the client to create a vortex of crystal energy. At certain points during the session, the Reiki Master may intuitively feel that other crystals need to be added or taken away, or even manipulated over the body's surface in the energetic field. Each type of stone and crystal carries a different energetic vibration, and by placing these on the body, areas that are out-of-tune can be brought back into the proper vibration. When added to an Intuitive Energetic Bodywork healing or a Healing Ritual session, the stones contribute their own unique vibrations and spiritual attributes to the session. Many client's report deep introspective or visionary experiences having been triggered at the moment when a crystal was placed onto them during a treatment.

Spiritual Aromatherapy The healing art of Spiritual Aromatherapy, also known as Vibrational Aromatherapy, utilizes the vibrational properties of essential oils by introducing very small amounts (a single drop is often suffienient) into the energy bodies of the client. Unlike traditional aromatherapy, there is no topical application of the oils to the recipient's physical body in Spiritual Aromatherapy. Instead the oils are introduced into the aura on the fingertips of the practitioner, or through finely misted sprays. The energetic signature and subtle effects of the oils positively affect the aura and chakras, clearing out disonant energies and gently re-establishing harmony and balance. The delighful natural scent helps anchor the healing into the physical, mental and emotional bodies. Since there is no physical contact between the oils and the skin, there is little to no chance for any contraindications with Spiritual Aromatherapy (even so those with allergies or those who are pregnant should inform their practitioner ahead of time to avoid any chances of adverse reactions). Those undergoing Spiritual Aromatherapy can expect to experience various essential oils and oil blends to be passed through their aura and chakras while the Reiki Master performs off-body energywork. Some of these oils may be applied to the hands of the practitioner as she works, or may be spritzed throughout portions of or the entire auric body during the session. Spiritual Aromatherapy has a very uplifting effect on the client, as well as being deeply therapeutic.

Flower and Gem Essences Vibrational essences can work to subtly bring changes into one's environment, body, and spirit by introducing the energies of a specific plant, crystal, or other energetic influence into one's immediate surroundings. Flower remedies are the most common and popular of the vibrational essences, and some lines are readily available at most good health food stores. Gem and crystal essences as harder to find, but are equally powerful in their effects. What is so incredible about vibrational essences is that it allows an individual to experience the healing power of a flower or gem without having to either take large qualities of that herb, or constantly wear a crystal. That makes them convenient and easy to use. They also work gently, having no contraindications, meaning that they can safely be used when other therapies cannot. By preparing an essence that resonates with the intended purpose of a healing ritual, it can be utilized to help charge sacred space, misted within the aura to encourage the manifestation of the wanted attributes, or may even be taken internally to bring those vibrations into the physical body. Often today people find themselves in a situation where they must take a daily medication to address a serious health concern, but these medicines can often have troubling side-effects. Other people may have a more complex disorder to requires them to take several medications, but still leaves them suffering from lingering symptoms that remain unaffected. These types of people have very limited options open to them for alleviating their continuing issus, without risking a negative and harmful drug interaction. Vibrational essences can work on relieving many of these discomforts, without risking any contraindication with the necessary allopathic medications! Vibrational essences are made by placing the flower or gem into fresh spring water and allowing the subtle vibrations of it permeate and "program" the water. This charged water, now a vibrational essence, is then bottled with a small amount of preservative (to prevent the water from becomnig stagnant), and several drops taken internally over the course of each day. The essence can also be misted into the aura or the air to help bring the desired effects into the surrounding energies and atmosphere. Flower or gem essences can be utilized in several ways during an Intuitive Energetic Bodywork session. They can be misted into the air around the treatment area to prepare the space with a specific healing vibration, or can be misted throughout the aura of the client. In most cases, Devi can suggest a flower or gem essence that would complement the energetic work being done, in order to maintain the balance and positive changes that have taken place during a treatment. Sending a client home with a water bottle containing such an essence is also a common event after an Intuitive Energetic Bodywork session.

Aromatherapy Diffusion Another way of utlizing the healing properties of plants is through the usage of essential oils, which has become well known as aromatherapy. These oils are distilled from various parts of the plants and contain the complete medicinal constitution of the plant from which is was derived. While many strong-smelling fragrance oils are marketed as "aromatherapy" products, they are usually synthetic, containing none of the therapeutic value of the plant. Essential oils are pleasantly mild in aroma and can be either inhaled via diffusion, or dilluted in a carrier oil and applied topically to partake of the therapeutic qualities. For those who have asthma, or for other reasons do not like to be around smoke, a diffusion of a healing essential oil blend is a wonderful alternative to the burning of incense during ritual. During diffusion a few drops of essential oil are placed on top of a small bowl of water, which is then heated, usually by a tea candle. As the water heats up, the oil is carried into the air by the steam vapours, where it is inhaled into the lungs and absorbed into the bloodstream. The aroma itself is extremely pleasant, and will create the same psychological effect as burning incense. Dilluted essential oils can also be applied directly to the skin for absorbtion. The oil is massaged anywhere on the body, but can be placed on energetic hot-spots, such as the chakras, the hands and the feet (as all parts and systems of the body are energetically accessible from various points on the hands and feet, as in reflexology). This allows the scent to carry, providing the psychological and atmospheric effects, but also directly activates specific energetic areas of the body. Most all healing sessions at PranaDevi Energetics will be accompanied by the diffusion of an essential oil blend appropriate to the treatment context and goals. If you are pregnant, nursing, on any prescription medications, or suffering from any chronic illnesses, please inform your therapist, so that they can ensure a safe and effective blend.

Chakra Energy Foot Massage Based on reflexology principals, gentle pressure and massage is applied to the points on your feet that correspond to the 7 major chakras. The effect is intensified by Reiki-beaming hands and a rose quartz massage wand which permeate the feet with soothing and healing energies. This treatment also works to distribute the influx of energies introduced during the healing session, in a balanced way throughout the system. This will also help anchor the effects into the physical body, and begin the grounding process.

Sound Healing The power of sound has been recognized since the dawn of time, with various instruments being used to create drones and other pulsating music intended to facilitate the listeners' spiritual evolution as well as physical health. From the digeridoo, tribal drumming, Tibetan singing bowls, and mantric chanting to the more modern therapeutic soundscapes created by blending organic sound with sythesized frequencies unattainable by other methods, sound therapy can take many different forms. By using certain frequencies of sound, vibrations within the energy body can be brought into harmony through the application of resonance. This allows the healer to immerse a participant in the desired therapeutic vibrations by filling the treatment room, and thereby the aura, subtle bodies and physical body with the needed frequency. During some of our Intuitive Energetic Bodywork sessions and Healing Rituals here at PranaDevi Energetics, we will utlize guided vocal toning and chanting, as well as recorded soundscapes intentionally created for healing purposes. Toning and chanting along with the client helps free up stagnant energies, and invoke a healthy and vibrant vibration that can encourage greater healing and manifestation of postitive change.
