A Rose by any Other Name: 2 Energy Healing Modalities

“A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.” Shakespeare’s famous line from Romeo and Juliet can also be applied to energy healing modalities. All energy healers work from the common intention of the achieving the greatest good for our clients and raising the overall vibration of the planet. It’s impossible for there to ever be “too many” lightworkers; we’re all needed. Gatekeeping and competitiveness in energy work should be avoided as it’s a symptom of leading from ego, which will lower our vibration and will stall our common goals.

Clients should not worry about finding the “wrong” healer. Energy healers are as unique amongst ourselves as our clients, and our highest selves will always work to ensure we cross paths with our best energetic matches.

And really, the separate names or labels given to the many energy healing modalities are just that- labels created by humans. The energy that connects all of us is the same regardless of what we call it. Energy healing modalities are primarily based on the comfort and preference of the practitioner; it’s what feels “right” to them in order to channel that energy for healing the client. Similarly, when choosing an energy worker, clients should look for what feels right to them.

That said, let’s explore the similarities and differences of InsightPhysics.com’ resident energy workers, Megan and Alisha.

Alisha’s Approach to Energy Work:

As an energy practitioner, I work with energy and vibration to help heal mind, body, and spirit. Sounds fancy, but it is something we are all capable of working with. Everything that we access with our 5 senses is a form of energy and the sixth sense is the ability to tap into that and help people in their time of need.

When I started working with energy and researching energy healing modalities, I was going to study Reiki, however I found I was able to source and feel the energy without that program and began my own road of learning. I felt that if I personally explored this capability on my own, I would learn more about myself and the use of energy in helping others.

Today, when I perform and energy session, in-person or distance, it is about helping my client get the best and most out of it. I ask that their spiritual team (guide, angels, and higher self) step forward to assist me. This is because they are with us from the moment our soul enters our body until we leave this plane of existence.

I open myself to be used as a conduit for individual spiritual team’s so that they may direct me in your care. This, almost always, ensures a client will begin to feel a noticeable difference in their state of being over the next 24-48 hours. Of course, that also depends on intention setting when we begin, discussed later.

Additionally, during my sessions I will receive spiritual messages that help illuminate the root causes of one’s struggle. These messages typically include some sort of action a client can do in order to help themselves continue the energy healing that was performed. Keep in mind this is what typically happens but not always. There are those that I come in contact with that have no actions to take, but more of a reflection of where they have been and things they need to address from their lifetime.

Megan’s Approach to Energy Work:

I am a Reiki practitioner. In Reiki, the name given to the energy that flows and unites everything in the universe is Universal Life Force, identical to what is also referred to as Qi, Chi, Prana and more in other energy healing modalities. It is unlimited light and love, will always work towards the highest good and can do no harm. The foundational tenet of Reiki in its simplest terms is that energy flow can be blocked, built up, or become otherwise stagnant (called ‘byoki’) due to emotional or physical trauma, which will manifest in physical ailments if left untreated.

Energy healing modalities have different routes for training. There is a suggested course of professional study in Reiki to maintain integrity to the original practice so a Reiki session today practiced from Arizona is similar to ones conducted in Japan a hundred years ago.

There are three recognized levels of Reiki healers:

• · Level I- refers to channeling energy to oneself, and just requires self-study and intention.

• · Level II is the Practitioner, who channels energy to heal others in person, across distances for virtual healing and across timelines to heal past trauma or provide future protection. Practitioners are required to train and obtain certification referred to as attunement or ignition by an experienced certified Reiki Master.
• · Level III is Reiki Master, who has completed Level II and received further certification with other experienced Reiki Masters in order to train and certify others as Masters.

It’s important to note that the attunements are not giving the healer any “special powers,” it’s just extra training in healing, much like any medical profession. I am an empath and use my senses to help identify problem areas for clients, but it’s not magic, I’m more like an energy EMT or doctor facilitating the resources you need to heal.

What Happens During a Session with Alisha:

During an energy session, I begin with a short discussion about expectations and wants related to the healing experience. Categories in this area include physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional struggels.

I invite my client to get in a comfortable position whether that be lying down or sitting with their feet planted on the floor. This is to allow your body to relax and accept the healing that is about to take place. From there I ask that you set intentions for the session, one of the most important is accepting the healing that is about to occur.

It is extremely important that consent for the session be expressed, as I will never force someone to receive healing, nor should anyone pressure you to receive one.

Once the client is in their position of comfort, I select meditative music with specific frequencies related to needs. This plays at a comfortable level throughout the session so that we are not just sitting there in silence. As I focus on your spiritual team, I tend to not communicate as my intention is to create a relaxed and comfortable environment. I will however answer any questions or respond to comments during your session.

The exact type of clearing, cleansing, or healing is determined with our first conversation. Your spiritual team and I will stay within the boundary of your requests and never go outside of those desires. At the end of the session another discussion occurs. This is to inform the client of what energy work was performed, actions they can take, as well as possible messages from their spiritual team. My goal is to ensure client’s feel better walking out than they did walking in.

What Happens During a Session with Megan:

During a Reiki session, I start by talking to the client about potential focus areas and any physical ailments they may be experiencing. I then invite them to relax in the most comfortable position for them, and will guide the client into a relaxing meditation and channel positive Reiki healing. Sessions are all tailored to the individual needs and sensitivities of the client and may include use of music or crystals if applicable or requested.

Free will and consent is paramount to Reiki healing and other energy healing modalities. Regardless of how well intentioned, I do not send Reiki to anyone who is not open to receiving healing.

During a session, I am only a conduit, none of my energy is transferred to the client and none of the client’s energy is transferred to me. I work to clear the byoki from the client’s body where it can be sent the universe to be cleansed and recycled. I then ensure all Chakras are balanced, then close the session sealing the healing. I use intuition to employ symbols and hand placements to focus Reiki energy, but ultimately, Reiki healing energy will always go where it’s needed most first. A full session is typically complete within a hour, and clients often feel immediate improvement.
