Through Symona's reassuring, soothing, and peaceful nature, her reiki session (complete with…read moresmudging, a new term I learned, and sound healing) speaks volumes. Tucked away in the coziest, bohemian-esque nook of a sweet nook, you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. A mindful and informative breakdown of what your appointment will look like kicks off the time, then it's to the table you go! Soft, instrumental music playing from a speaker lulls you, while the familiarly comforting scents of incense and palo santo paint a nurturing mood in the room.
I felt oh so relaxed that I nearly fell asleep, with an eye mask over my face and a fuzzy blanket covering me. Symona encourages you to "just be," which serves as an undermined reminder in today's age. Connecting with her really reminds you to slow down; that it is more than all right not to be "on" all of the time. The session itself seems so quick perhaps because of the calm atmosphere around you. She also offers both hands-on and hands-off style of reading your energetic channels, which is thoughtful for a teacher who wants the best for you.
What I also appreciated was her nourishing language throughout our conversation. I matter of factly inquired which chakras of mine were blocked, to which Symona mentioned that nothing is in fact "blocked," the word itself suggesting that an area of the body and mind cannot be healed, when it can. Any and all of us can improve. My solar plexus and heart chakras were the most effected, yet she softly urged that that is not to say they will always be that way.
With Spirit is one special spot for chakra-balancing and healing, what with such a caring mentor leading you through the experience. This dear healer has such a gentle persona and talks to you as if you were a lifelong friend rather than a "client" or "patient." She truly, authentically cares about one's sacred self and their mission to improve, and you can read that through her clearly. Nearing the end of the time, she suggests to lay for a couple minutes to let the reiki integrate, which is when it ends all too soon! What a sanctuary of peace and quietness she provides; you don't want to get up!
If you are looking for a time-efficient, serene, and thought-provoking way to wind down and tune in, turn to With Spirit. Again, you can sincerely tell that this one of a kind healer works with her heart on her sleeve and pure compassion. Whether she is using a tuning fork (my favorite part!) on your knees or handing you fresh water in a welcoming white cup after your session, I can guarantee that one feels safe and sound in Symona's expertise. :-)
P.S. You'll sleep like a baby that night! As she instructs, stay hydrated and eat healthy afterwards.
Thank you with the warmest regards, Symona! Reporting live, feeling aligne
