A Reiki Journey
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction and relaxation technique that promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands “or “distant energy healing” and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed; if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei, which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power," and Ki which is "life force energy." So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy." A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person, including body, emotions, mind, and spirit, creating many beneficial effects, including relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works with other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
We welcome you to experience the transformative power of Reiki, a natural healing practice that transcends belief systems. Reiki operates independently of your beliefs, ensuring its efficacy whether you're a believer or not. Derived from a higher source, Reiki's influence often leads individuals to connect more deeply with their spirituality, enriching their religious experiences beyond mere intellectual understanding.
​
While Reiki isn't a religion, it encourages a lifestyle that fosters harmony among all. Inspired by Mikao Usui, the visionary behind Reiki, we embrace fundamental ethical principles that universally promote peace and unity, transcending cultural boundaries.
Usui's wisdom crystallized during a meditation, prompting the inclusion of the Reiki Ideals into the practice. Drawn partly from the Meiji Emperor's five principles, these Ideals bring spiritual equilibrium to Usui Reiki. Their purpose lies in guiding individuals towards self-improvement, recognizing that healing the spirit is integral to the Reiki journey. Sustainable healing requires active participation and accountability from clients as they embrace their role. The Usui system thus encompasses more than energy utilization; it necessitates a commitment to personal growth for a holistic experience. These Ideals act as both a roadmap for gracious living and virtues to be cultivated for their inherent worth.

Sound Bath
Our Meditation Sound Bath is a unique and immersive wellness service designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being through a combination of sound therapy and meditation. This experience typically takes place in a tranquil and comfortable environment, often in a dedicated studio or a serene natural setting.
Here's a description of what you might expect from our meditation sound bath service:
Imagine lying down or sitting comfortably, surrounded by cushions and blankets, in a serene space designed to create a sense of calm and tranquility. Soft, ambient lighting gently illuminates the room, creating a soothing atmosphere. As you settle in, you're guided by a KTJ skilled meditation facilitator who will lead you through the journey.
​
The heart of the meditation sound bath lies in the carefully selected instruments that emit soothing and harmonious sounds. Our sound bath instruments can include crystal or bronze/copper singing bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, tuning forks, and various other resonant tools. Each instrument produces unique frequencies and vibrations that can be felt as well as heard, creating a multi-sensory experience. As the session begins, our meditation facilitator invites you to close your eyes; we generally will do 3 to 5 deep breaths and start to let go of any tension or stress. We will then use the instruments to produce gentle and melodic sounds, allowing the vibrations to wash over you. The sound waves interact with your body and mind, helping induce a deep relaxation state. We will incorporate positive word associations generating a specific tone so the words can take root within your soul.
​
The experience is designed to guide you into a meditative state effortlessly. The soundscape envelops you, creating a sense of being surrounded by a cocoon of harmonious vibrations. This encourages your mind to quiet down, allowing you to enter a state of deep mindfulness. Many participants report experiencing a heightened sense of awareness, a release of physical and mental tension, and even moments of profound insight. We invite the participants of our session to share any insight about their experience at the closing and answer questions. Our meditation sound bath is 60 to 90 minutes long, depending on the type of session. Throughout the experience, our facilitator may gently guide you through visualization exercises, breath awareness techniques, or mindfulness prompts, further enhancing the therapeutic effects of the sound bath.
​
As the session comes to an end, the sounds gradually fade away, and you're gently brought back to the present moment. You might feel a renewed sense of calm, clarity, and relaxation. After the experience, participants often report improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of well-being that lingers beyond the session. Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, a meditation sound bath offers a unique and profound way to connect with yourself, release stress, and find inner peace in a world filled with constant stimuli. It's a genuinely therapeutic journey for the mind, body, and soul in fully coming into knowing thyself.
Our Service Policies
The services provided by the Know Thyself Journey coaches to the client can be conducted through face-to-face sessions or video-conferencing, as mutually agreed upon. The coaching sessions can address various aspects of the client's life, including personal struggles, business issues, or general conditions in their personal or professional life. The coach may employ different coaching techniques such as values exploration, thought-storming, creating action plans, examining patterns of behavior, asking clarifying questions, and offering empowering suggestions or requests for action. It is possible that during the coaching process, the client may be prompted to reflect on complex topics or situations, which may elicit emotional responses.
Throughout the coaching relationship, the coach will engage in direct and personal conversations with the client. It is important to understand that successful coaching requires a collaborative and cooperative approach between the client and the coach. In the coaching relationship, the coach serves as a facilitator of change, supporting the client in their journey towards achieving their desired outcomes. However, it is ultimately the client's responsibility to take action and implement the changes they seek. If at any point the client feels that the coaching is not yielding the desired results, it is important for them to communicate this to the coach as soon as possible.
This feedback allows the coaching strategy to be restructured and tailored to address the client's specific needs and desired outcomes. It is important to recognize that not all coaching methods and mediums work equally well for every client. Therefore, a process of trial and error may be necessary to find the most effective solutions. Clients are strongly encouraged to engage in open and honest communication with their coach to gain a better understanding of the coaching process and how to maximize its benefits.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality All information about the coach/client relationship will remain strictly confidential except in infrequent circumstances where decreed by law, i.e., where the court might issue an information request/subpoena for the file or information. If you wish for me as your coach to speak to someone outside our interactions, you need to give me written permission (original letter, fax, or email). Exceptions to confidentiality relate to circumstances such as intent to seriously harm someone, child abuse, thoughts of suicide, etc. Otherwise, all remaining information is kept strictly confidential. It is also important to note that in some situations, it is vital to be aware of the use of technology. For some clients, there is a risk in using certain media such as the internet, mobile phones, and internet conferencing. If you use these to communicate with me, I will assume that it is appropriate to continue to do so in my interactions with you.
Responsibility of Service
Services to be provided by the coach to the client are face-to-face, telephone coaching or video conferencing, as agreed jointly with the client. Coaching may address specific personal life struggles, business issues, or general conditions in the client's life or profession. Other coaching services include values, thought storming, identifying action plans, examining modes of operation in life, asking clarifying questions, and making empowering requests or suggestions for action. Additionally, the client may be asked to reflect on complex topics or situations, which may result in an expression of emotions. The coach will engage in direct and personal conversations throughout the working relationship. The client understands that successful coaching requires a co-active collaborative approach between client and coach. In the coaching relationship, the coach plays the role of a facilitator of change, but it is the client's responsibility to enact or bring about the change by their action. If the client believes the coaching is not working as desired, the client will communicate this with the coach as soon as possible, and the coaching strategy will be restructured to address the client's desired outcome of coaching. The client understands that not all coaching methods and mediums work for all clients, and a course of trials may be required to find the best solutions. You are very much encouraged to talk more with the coach to understand better what coaching is about and how to get the most out of it.
Release of Liability
Life Coaching is a service that provides personal coaching to specific individuals and/or groups. The client is aware that coaching is in no way to be construed or substituted as psychological counseling or any other type of therapy or medical advice.
