  • Show Notes

    In this episode, Reiki master teacher Dani Van de Velde dives deep into the transformative power of Reiki energy healing. She explains how Reiki works by channeling universal life force energy to promote balance and healing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

     

    Dani shares powerful stories of Reiki's ability to address a wide range of issues, from chronic pain to fertility challenges to emotional blocks. She emphasizes that Reiki is an intelligent energy that goes where it's most needed, guided by the client's innate healing wisdom.

     

    But Dani's Reiki sessions go beyond the basics - she often incorporates intuitive messages, mediumship and even past life information that comes through during the healing process. She shares incredible experiences of feeling the moment of a client's conception, communicating with their angels and guides, and witnessing spontaneous physical shifts like bones straightening before her eyes.

     

    While these mystical elements are profound, Dani is quick to point out that Reiki is not a magic bullet. It works best in conjunction with other modalities like meditation, therapy and a healthy lifestyle. She sees Reiki as a way to empower clients to become active participants in their own healing journey.

     

    Throughout the episode, Dani and Amanda also discuss the importance of working with a qualified Reiki practitioner, the power of distance healing, and the role of intention and belief in the healing process. They emphasize that Reiki is not just a temporary fix, but a tool for deep transformation on all levels.

     

    Whether you're a curious skeptic or a devoted energy healing enthusiast, this episode will expand your understanding of what's possible with Reiki. Dani's grounded wisdom and incredible stories are sure to inspire you to explore the power of universal life force energy for yourself.

    Key Takeaways

    • Reiki is a form of energy healing that taps into the universal life force energy to promote healing and harmony in the body. It helps bring the body back into balance.
    • Reiki can help with physical issues, mental/emotional issues, reducing stress, improving sleep, and more. It is an intelligent, guided energy that goes where it is needed in the body.
    • Reiki relies on the practitioner running the energy through themselves to the client. The quality and technique of the practitioner matters. It works at deeper levels when the practitioner has a more conscious relationship with Reiki energy.
    • Reiki opens up perception and expands awareness. It can enhance intuition and psychic senses. Other phenomena like feeling the presence of guides/angels can happen during sessions.
    • Reiki complements other therapies. It is used alongside Western medicine for things like cancer treatment to help with side effects.
