It was a small cozy room, a rented office space in a gym, and she was a petite blonde woman, and those were my first impressions. She introduced herself as Jodi Hutchinson, a certified PA, but her passion is in ancient healing traditions like Reiki, Ayurveda, acupressure, etc. The energy healing session I requested for was Reiki, so all healing was meant to be entirely hands-off. I was curious how this would even work.
We started off talking about how I came to her, and then about a few things that bothered me (bald spots, neck pain, work) but it seemed like there was another conversation going on beneath the surface that we weren't verbalizing. Once we started talking, tears started leaking out of my eyes and I didn't even know why. I had no pre-conceived topics of conversation - I just went with what was coming from within me. Mostly about the unsatisfactoriness of my work, and any direction past this job. So I was really surprised, when Jodi said at the end of the session, that I was releasing a lot of old, pent up sadness. I hadn't said anything to her about my unhappiness, but when she mentioned it, something touched a nerve, or my emotional faucet, and it came out in more tears. It seemed like even the conversation we were verbalizing wasn't anything concrete, and in fact that was the case with Reiki itself - I couldn't put my finger on anything. For an hour or more, Jodi was guiding me through a healing session that felt meditative, as if I was in a half-trance. Even though I found it hard to understand what was going on around me, I could feel something deep within me. I guess that's what was getting released as tears. It felt like I was cocooned in a nest of protective energy.
Besides the tears, what I felt during the session was a tingly feeling in certain parts of my body - in my feet, my arms, my chest, and my forehead. Later Jodi explained this was the energy moving! I also felt heaviness sometimes, chilly, lightness... I was pleased when she said that my body absorbed the energy work she was doing without any blocks. The one block that she said she couldn't dissolve all the way was the tight knot in my neck, but for me, as soon as I got off the table, I felt the neck pain was gone! That was one tangible thing I could take away with me.
