What is Reiki?

Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique that promotes healing. It is based on the wisdom that everyone has life force energy that flows through us. When our energy is off-balance or blocked, we are more likely to become sick, stressed, or even injured. Reiki helps us by re-aligning our life force energy and removing blocks that are preventing our bodies from healing. It basically speeds up our natural inclination to heal ourselves by removing obstacles.

Reiki is safe, non-invasive technique that can be done hands-on (similar to Healing Touch Therapy, often utilized by nurses in patient care), or off-the-body (in the etheric body, or aura). A Reiki session feels very relaxing. Clients often report sensations of warmth, tingling, and peace when on the table.

What is a Soul Journey Alignment?

Soul Journey Alignment sessions are different for everyone, because each session is about what's ALIVE for you in the present. This information attempts to give you an idea of some of the possibilities of what can happen in a session.

A Heart Centered Approach

No matter where you are on your journey or no matter what challenges may face you, Michael brings a heart centered approach to each session, helping you find peace, compassion, and awareness in the present. With these, you may better navigate your soul journey by taking your highest path forward.

Life and Career Coaching

Assistance with life direction, transitions, new careers and lifestyles. Intended to empower individuals in life changing positive transformation. Based on the client's expressed interests, goals and objectives this relationship helps move you into designing a life you love. Through inquiry, reflection and discussion we develop ways for you to achieve your goals.

Deep Self Inquiry

Addressing questions such as:
What is my soul journey? Who am I? What is my purpose here on the planet? Why am I stuck? Why has life been so difficult? What are my dreams? How do I manifest my dreams? How do I move past certain challenges or traumas? How do I make empowered choices? How can I trust again? How do I love again? Where is my love? How do I love myself? How do I find peace in my soul journey?

Relationships

Relationships, starting with the relationship we have with our self, are core to the experience of what it means to be human. Most of our wounds come from relationship dynamics and then affect us consciously or unconsciously, until we are ready to heal and grow into a new person. Intimate relationships (whether romantic, family, or friends) are one of the best mirrors for seeing who we are and therefore, seeing how we can heal, grow, and evolve further down our soul's journey. Challenges within a relationship are an opportunity for us. If that person has an shared life journey with us, we can learn to navigate those challenges with more grace and compassion, and often turn lemons into lemonade. That said, navigating relationships is complex and difficult in this modern world and Michael is here to help with your process. We can work with healing and growth around love, trust, past traumas/wounds, finances, intimacy, commitment issues, communication, attachment style healing (insecurities, abandonment), family dynamics, etc.. Michael can work with an individual or both people within a relationship. If you are hoping to attract your soul partner, a Soul Journey Alignment can also help as well.

Core Approaches to Healing Work

Depending on the person and type of situation involved, Michael utilizes these core approaches during Soul Journey Alignment sessions:

~ Holistic Approach - Mind, Body, Spirit (Soul), Heart, Emotions - All are integrated and are the Whole, complete person. During the healing sessions we ask the question as to what part of us gives the opportunity for healing/growth/change. We follow this journey step by step, trying to get to the root of what's going on. Shadow work is often involved. Most often the root of the issue is not in the physical, but instead in the mind, emotions, or a part of our soul journey (karma).
~ Lifestyle - is a part of the Holistic Approach. When looking at healing/growth/change of the whole person, we look not only at the person, but also how the person interacts with the world. This includes what they eat/drink, their relationships, time in nature, physical activity, stress levels, balance in life (yin/yang), environmental exposures, etc.
~ Relationships - have so much to do with who we are. Most wounds/traumas come from relationships and much of our healing is also found within relationships (both with our self and others). Not only with people but our relationships with everything else - including addictions.
~ Traumas/Wounds Often Are Suppressed in the Body - A person can do endless psychotherapy but if the body is not addressed, then the wound is still there. For this, we can schedule massage/bodywork sessions to help with the healing.
~ Chakras - give us an extremely insightful structure with we we can begin to gain awareness into our holistic being. Michael uses the 7 main chakras to find out where the blocks occur, how we address these blocks, and evolve to a new person. Our souls and life journeys often go through common patterns within the chakras, as one life lesson leads to another. This helps us find the roots of the particular issues at hand and also the solutions (positive change) that a person can undertake. That said, each person is different and the chakras give us a fluid system where we can truly address what's going on (as opposed to the typical western approach, which mostly looks at the physical person and does not get to the root of the real issue).
~ Attachment Theory - within relationships, the attachment theory is key to understanding how we operate.
~ Focusing on the Inner Journey - true change comes from within. Inner change leads to outer change and manifestation. Our outer world and dynamics with it are only an expression of our inner world. Because of this, we will generally focus on inner transformation, before we focus on outer transformation.
~ Law of Attraction - everything comes down to energy. What we attract depends on who we are. That means our soul attracts our journey on this planet - that is the root. That could mean an endless number of things - such as attracting the love of your life, having a positive mindset to attract the job you desire, or having the awareness that you always attract the growth lesson that you are ready to confront.
