Okay, so I’ve been hearing a lot about Reiki lately, and it’s always sounded interesting. I finally decided to give it a try and, well, Memphis is where I live, so “Reiki Memphis” became my Google search term. Here’s how it all went down.
Finding a Practitioner
First things first, I needed to find someone who actually does Reiki. I wasn’t about to try this on my own from some YouTube video. I wanted the real deal. My searching started with google, and put in “Reiki Memphis” to see.
I looked through a bunch of websites, read some reviews, and tried to get a feel for the different practitioners. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming at first. There are so many options!
I finally narrowed it down to a few that seemed promising, based on their websites and what other people said about them. I wanted someone who felt… calming, I guess? Like, their online presence had to give me good vibes.
Making the Appointment
I picked one that had online booking, which I love because I hate talking on the phone. It made the whole process much less intimidating. I filled out the little form, picked a time slot, and boom – appointment made.
The Actual Reiki Session
Okay, this is where it gets interesting. I arrived at this cozy little office, and the practitioner, let’s call her Sarah, was super welcoming. We chatted for a bit about what I was hoping to get out of the session. I told her I was mostly just curious, but also a little stressed and anxious lately.
Then, I lay down on this massage table thing, fully clothed. Sarah explained that she wouldn’t actually be touching me much, but more like hovering her hands over different parts of my body. It sounded a little weird, but I was open to it.
Soft music was playing, and the room had this nice, relaxing scent. Sarah started at my head, and honestly, I don’t remember a whole lot after that. I think I might have even fallen asleep for a bit!
It’s hard to describe the feeling. It wasn’t like a massage, where you feel physical pressure. It was more like… a gentle warmth, maybe? And a sense of… calm. Like my brain just kind of switched off for a while.
After the Session
When it was over, I felt… different. Not drastically different, but definitely more relaxed. Like a weight had been lifted, even if I hadn’t realized I was carrying it. Sarah gave me some water and we talked for a few minutes about the session. She mentioned some things she sensed, but it wasn’t anything super specific.
The Verdict?
Would I do it again? Probably! It was a really interesting experience, and I definitely felt better afterwards. Is it some magical cure-all? I don’t know about that. But it was a nice way to de-stress and just… chill. If you’re in Memphis and curious about Reiki, I’d say give it a shot. Just do your research and find a practitioner who feels right to you.
