I had heard about reiki but didn’t really know what it was and I’d only experienced 10 minutes of a recorded sound bath experience, so I came into my session with hardly any preconceived ideas or expectations. I had said to Lee and Simone that my ideal takeaway from the experience would be to reduce my anxiety, stress and exhaustion. Their calm welcome made me feel at ease straightaway and the smudging ritual and most beautifully scented oil I have ever smelt, and the pure comfort of the bed, pillow, eye-mask and blanket made me realise that I was in for a spiritual treat. When the sound started and Simone placed her hands on me, it all made sense. I could feel the reiki energy and feelings from the sound work together in perfect harmony. I was blown away by the sounds that Lee was creating and at one point could have sworn I heard monks chanting. I felt Simone channelling the reiki energy and each part she worked on felt like it was being unblocked. I felt the sensation of my head feeling lighter and lifting a little outside my body. Simone said later that was when she was working on my aura just after working on my head. Another sensation I had was that she was still working on my chest area as I thought I could still feel her hands there, but then I realised she had moved somewhere else, which I realise now was the reiki energy still doing its work. If I was at all sceptical before, just feeling Simone’s hot hands on the soles of my feet near the end was enough proof to me that there was real energy flowing. I thought she was using hot stones but I asked later and it was just that her hands had got so warm from the reiki energy. I felt extremely relaxed afterwards and slept amazingly well that night and felt the lightest I’ve felt in a very long time all this week with no feelings of anxiety. And the last affirmation of how much the sound and reiki must have worked is that this week I should have had my usual PMT/PMS, which is really unpleasant for the last couple of days of my cycle. But I didn’t feel one symptom of PMS this time, which is unheard of. On the contrary, I felt even lighter and more content and happy as the week went by. I really believe that the sound and energy washed that hormonal tension away. I might have to make this a monthly thing now! Thank you so much Lee and Simone. X
