My Journey to Reiki: From Anxiety to Healing
Hi, I’m Christie, founder of Mind Soul Sync in Dubbo, Australia. My journey into Reiki wasn’t just a career move—it was a profound personal transformation. Today, I work both in-person in Dubbo and virtually across Australia, helping others find peace, balance, and healing through Reiki. But before I became a Reiki practitioner, I was the one searching for healing.
I still remember the tight knot of anxiety that lived in my stomach for years, the lingering effects of past trauma. I tried everything—medication, counselling—but nothing truly worked. I craved something deeper, something that resonated with my soul. That’s when I stumbled across Reiki healing in Dubbo through a simple Google search. I didn’t fully understand what Reiki was, but something about it called to me.
My First Reiki Session: A Moment of Awakening
I’ll never forget my first Reiki session. I walked in shaking, heart racing, my stomach in knots. But as I lay on the Reiki table, something incredible happened. A warmth spread through my body, tingles danced across my skin, and visions flickered through my mind. I felt energy moving—something I had never experienced before.
By the time I sat up, the anxiety was gone. My mind was clear, my body felt weightless, and for the first time in years, I experienced true peace. It was as if I had been carrying a heavy backpack my whole life, and suddenly, it was lifted. That was the moment I knew—Reiki healing was life-changing.
What is Reiki? The Ancient Art of Energy Healing
A Gentle Yet Powerful Healing Modality
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that works by channelling universal life force energy (Qi) through the hands of the practitioner into the client. This energy helps to clear energetic blockages, balance the chakra system, and activate the body's natural ability to heal.
Think of your energy like a river. When debris (stress, trauma, negative emotions) builds up, the flow gets blocked, leading to emotional, mental, and physical imbalances. Reiki works like a gentle stream washing away these blockages, allowing your energy to flow freely again.
The Science of Reiki: Shifting from Stress to Healing
Reiki calms the nervous system by shifting the body from a state of stress (fight or flight) into deep relaxation (rest and digest). This allows the body to:
- Reduce anxiety and stress
- Ease physical pain and tension
- Balance emotions and promote inner peace
- Improve sleep and mental clarity
- Encourage deep healing on all levels
Who Can Benefit from Reiki?
Reiki is for anyone seeking healing—whether you're struggling with anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, stress, or simply feeling disconnected. Many of my clients come to Reiki feeling weighed down by life and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more balanced.
Becoming a Reiki Practitioner: My Path to Healing Others
At first, Reiki was just for my own healing. But as my passion grew, I felt a strong calling to share this gift with others. I became attuned to Reiki, allowing me to channel this powerful energy not only for myself but for my children, friends, and eventually, my clients.
I combined Reiki with another transformative practice—hypnotherapy—which helped me rewire subconscious patterns and release deeply rooted fears. Together, Reiki and hypnotherapy completely transformed my life, helping me attract healthy relationships, build confidence, and create the business I love today.
What to Expect in a Reiki Session at Mind Soul Sync
Each Reiki session is a unique and deeply personal experience. Some clients feel warmth, tingles, or see colours. Others experience deep emotional releases—like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon.
Before we begin, I often pull an intuitive card to guide the session. Then, as you relax fully clothed on the healing table, I channel Reiki energy through my hands, gently placing them over your energy centres (chakras).
You may experience:
- Tingling sensations or waves of warmth
- Emotional releases such as tears or laughter
- Visions, colours, or intuitive insights
- A deep sense of relaxation and peace
For some, one session is enough to feel a profound shift. Others commit to multiple sessions to peel back the layers of emotional and energetic imbalances, allowing for deeper healing over time.
The Role of Crystals in Reiki Healing
As a crystal healer and self-confessed crystal addict, I love integrating healing crystals into my Reiki sessions. Crystals work as energy amplifiers, enhancing the healing process. Each crystal is intuitively placed on the body to support the specific needs of the client. Even the most sceptical clients have felt the powerful energy shifts when working with crystals during Reiki.
Why Reiki is My First Love in Healing
Even after years of practicing hypnotherapy, energy healing, and crystal healing, Reiki remains my first love. It was my first experience of true healing, and it continues to be the foundation of my work. It’s the practice that showed me what was possible—and now, I get to share that magic with others.
I believe that we are all healers. Reiki isn’t just for practitioners—it’s an innate gift we all have access to. If you feel drawn to Reiki, I encourage you to explore it, whether through a session or by becoming attuned yourself.
