A Sacred Remembering That Meets You Wherever You Are...

There’s a quiet rhythm beneath all the noise — your body knows it.
It’s the pulse that whispers:

"You don’t need to do more. You just need to come home."

Energy healing invites you into that remembering.
It’s not about fixing.
It’s not about someone doing something to you.
It’s about creating safe, sacred space so your body, energy, and spirit can soften… and realign themselves, naturally.

But what if that space isn’t shared physically?
What if you’re on one side of the world, and your practitioner is on another?

This blog will gently explore what energy healing is, how it works both in person and at a distance — and why the heart of this work isn’t about physical proximity, but sacred presence

What Is Energy Healing?

At its essence, energy healing is a non-invasive, intuitive practice that works with your subtle energy body — the part of you that holds emotion, memory, spiritual connection, and life force.

Some traditions call this qi, prana, or vital energy.
Science might call it the biofield or vibrational field.
Whatever name you give it, this energy flows through and around you.
And sometimes… it gets stuck.

Through intention, energetic connection, and deep listening, energy healing helps:

• Release what’s heavy or stagnant

• Soothe the nervous system

• Restore energetic flow and inner clarity

• Reconnect you with your own wisdom

You don’t need to “believe” for it to work.
You just need to be willing to receive.

In-Person Energy Healing: The Ritual of Shared Space

In-person sessions often include gentle touch or the practitioner’s hands hovering just above the body. There may be soft music, grounding scents, crystals — ritual elements that anchor the experience in tangible presence.

These sessions can support:

• Deep nervous system rest

• A felt sense of being physically held

• Connection through shared stillness

But physical proximity isn’t the source of the healing — it’s simply one way of holding it.

Remote Energy Healing: Healing Across Time and Space

Remote or distance healing may feel unfamiliar at first, but it’s no less potent.
Because energy doesn’t rely on geography.

You’ve likely felt this:
The moment you think of someone — and they call.
The way you sense a loved one’s mood from afar.
That knowing in your bones.

Energy travels. Intention directs it. Connection makes it sacred.

In a remote session:

• You rest in your own space at a set time

• I attune to your energy with reverence

• The healing unfolds intuitively — no video, no call

• You receive a detailed post-session summary and gentle aftercare

Many find that being in their own familiar space allows them to relax even more deeply.

Does Energy Healing Really Work?

It’s a question many hold — and you’re not alone if you’ve felt curious, uncertain, or even skeptical.

The idea that healing can occur through subtle presence, intention, or energy might feel abstract or intangible.

But just because something is subtle, doesn’t mean it isn’t real.

As both a spiritual practitioner and an academic researcher with a science background, I hold space for duality:
That healing can be intuitive and sacred — and also supported by emerging evidence.

What the Research Suggests

While energy healing is still met with hesitation in some corners of conventional science, the research base is quietly growing.

• A large-scale effectiveness trial of Reiki therapy involving more than 1,400 participants found significant improvements in pain, anxiety, depression, and overall well-being following just one session, with even greater benefits from multiple sessions. Reiki was also associated with high satisfaction, low risk, and broad accessibility across populations (1).
• A 2014 literature review of randomised trials found that Reiki had clinically significant effects in reducing anxiety and pain across multiple settings, including cancer and post-operative care (2).
• A 2024 integrative review concluded that Reiki is safe, cost-effective, and supportive of both emotional and physical wellbeing, particularly for those experiencing chronic stress or emotional dysregulation, or trauma-related symptoms (3).
• A systematic review of clinical trials confirmed Reiki’s impact in reducing stress, anxiety, and pain, and improving emotional regulation and nervous system balance (4).
• Beyond Reiki, broader biofield therapies (including Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch) have also demonstrated measurable outcomes, particularly in oncology and palliative care settings. These include improvements in emotional distress, fatigue, sleep, and quality of life, as well as activation of the parasympathetic nervous system — the body's natural rest-and-repair response (5).

While more rigorous trials are still needed, the existing evidence supports energy healing as a low-risk, trauma-sensitive, and integrative approach to emotional and energetic wellbeing.

A Note on Crystal Healing

While scientific research on crystal healing remains limited, many practitioners, and clients, report that crystals help them feel more grounded, centred, and emotionally supported. The Complementary Medical Association (CMA) describes crystal therapy as a vibrational tool that interacts with the body’s energy field to promote balance, clarity, and energetic release (6). Crystals may also act as powerful anchors for mindfulness, ritual, and intention — all of which are known to enhance emotional well-being.

But What If It’s Just the Placebo Effect?

Let’s be clear: the placebo effect is not “nothing.”
It’s a powerful, measurable, psychobiological response.

When we feel supported,emotionally, spiritually, energetically, the brain releases endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine. These reduce inflammation, ease pain, and regulate the nervous system (4).

So even if belief plays a role in healing?
That belief activates change.
It doesn’t invalidate the experience — it supports it.

Where Science Meets Subtle Energy

Here’s how modern research helps us understand the why behind energy healing — even when it seems intangible:

• Neuroplasticity: Your brain rewires itself based on repeated experience. Intention-setting, guided meditation, and energy healing may all contribute to forming new, healing neural pathways.

• Biofield science: Studies have begun measuring subtle electromagnetic fields around the body. While still under scientific exploration, some researchers propose that energy-based therapies work by interacting with these fields (5).

• Epigenetics: Traumas,even ancestral ones, can alter gene expression. Healing experiences may support gene expression linked to resilience and repair.

• Quantum interconnectedness: Concepts like entanglement remind us that reality isn't strictly local. Many believe this helps explain the effectiveness of remote energy healing, which works without physical contact or presence.

A Balanced View: Critique, Curiosity, and Experience

Not every claim about energy work is evidence-based — and that matters.
Critical thinking is essential.

But just as science doesn’t explain everything yet, personal experience shouldn't be dismissed.

Many Indigenous and spiritual traditions hold thousands of years of insight into energy, emotion, and soul healing. These aren’t “less than” — they are simply spoken in different languages.

As someone who walks between science and soul, I don’t ask you to believe blindly.
I invite you to explore what feels true in your body.
To soften into what resonates.

Because healing isn’t always found in logic.
Sometimes, it’s found in the quiet moment you finally feel seen — even across time and space.

Why Some Souls Prefer Remote Sessions

For sensitive, spiritually conscious beings, remote sessions can feel even more nourishing than in-person work.

• You don’t have to talk or explain

• You’re held in your own safe space

• You can rest without performing

• Integration happens gently, without overstimulation

This isn’t about less connection.
It’s about more space to be exactly as you are.

How I Hold Remote Sessions at Crystal Stream

All energy healing sessions I offer are remote, intuitive, and rooted in reverence.

We begin with a simple step: an expression of interest.
You’ll complete a short enquiry form to share your energy, intention, and where you are on your path.
This helps me sense whether we’re an aligned fit.

If it feels right, you’ll receive an invitation to book — along with a detailed intake and consent form, where you’ll provide:

• A recent photo (used only to attune to your energy)

• Your healing intention

• Any relevant emotional or physical context

This form is part of the energetic container — not just admin.
It ensures your session is trauma-informed, ethical, and grounded in safety.

What Happens in the Session?

At your scheduled time, you’ll simply lie down or rest quietly. No Zoom. No phone. Just presence.

You’ll receive a grounding meditation in advance to help settle.

During the session, I tune into your field using Reiki, Seichem, Holy Fire®, Atlantean Healing™, or another lineage — whatever your energy calls for.

I may work with:

• Chakra harmonisation

• Karmic release

• Aura clearing

• Elemental balancing

• Soul-level guidance

Everything unfolds intuitively and gently — guided by your intention, your energy, and Spirit.

After the Session

You’ll receive a gentle rhythm of aftercare:

1. Session Summary

   • Notes from the session

   • Intuitive messages or symbols

   • Oracle card guidance (if you purchased the bundle)

   • Aftercare suggestions

2. Integration Support

   • What to expect

   • Journaling prompts or affirmations

3. Reflection Invitation

   • A space to share your experience (if you wish)

No pressure — only presence.
Take what resonates. Leave the rest.

Final Thoughts

Energy healing doesn’t need to be complicated.
It simply asks for presence. For trust. For the willingness to be met where you are.

Whether across the world or within your own heart, the invitation is the same:

• Return to your rhythm

• Trust your inner wisdom

• Release what no longer serves

• Remember who you are beneath it all

You are not broken.
You are not behind.
You are in a sacred season.
And I’m honoured to walk beside you.
