ENERGY WORK:
What it is and what to expect
|
What is a Crystal Session?
A Crystal Session is a restful, fully clothed, minimal-contact experience that uses intuitively selected crystals and stones placed on or around the body to help support energetic alignment and subtle body awareness. This practice works primarily with the body's major energy centers and subtle energy field - helping to resolve or neutralize emotional and energetic disturbances while offering grounding, clarity, and a potential for spiritual growth. While a standalone Crystal Session offers a deeply meditative experience on its own, crystals are also a powerful complement to Reiki. When used together, the crystalline grid is thought to amplify and direct the flow of Reiki energy, helping to deepen relaxation, harmonize the energetic body, and enhance the overall impact of the session. Many clients choose to incorporate crystals into their Reiki sessions for a more layered and multidimensional energetic reset — especially during seasonal shifts or times of personal transition. |
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese method of energy work intended to support the body’s natural capacity for balance and well-being. During a session, the practitioner gently places hands either lightly on or just above the body to encourage the flow of universal life energy—known in various traditions as ki, chi, or prana. This subtle, non-invasive practice is often experienced as deeply calming, helping to ease tension and invite a greater sense of peace. Reiki is considered part of a broader category known as energy or biofield modalities, which focus on restoring energetic coherence and alignment. Clarissa’s sessions may also include complementary approaches such as crystals and stones, mantra, breathwork, and the soothing tones of singing bowls or gong to further support stillness, presence, and integration. Clients often describe feeling lighter, more centered, or deeply relaxed after a session. Some notice shifts in energy, emotion, or physical sensations as their system integrates the work. While each experience is unique, it’s recommended to rest, stay hydrated, and allow space for reflection following a session. Regular sessions can support ongoing energetic hygiene and inner balance, and many find them especially beneficial at the turning of the seasons, when the body and spirit are naturally undergoing transition.

Painted Lotus Yoga & Wellness makes no claims as to the efficacy or results expected from our Energy Sessions. Always consult with a medical practitioner about the appropriateness of any complimentary modality you are considering."

Frequently Asked Questions:
How do crystals work?
Due, in part, to their geometric perfection at the molecular level, unlike human beings, crystals maintain a more consistent and precise vibration, or base resonant frequency. This vibrational consistency is thought to allow crystals and stones to align with and recalibrate frequencies at the major energy centers of the body (chakras) which may support emotional, mental, and physical healing.
How does a crystal/energy session work?
A session may include placing crystals and stones on or near the body, chakra balancing, and Reiki- Universal Life Force energy, to cultivate balance at the physical, energetic, emotional and spiritual level. A typical session lasts about an hour, depending on your specific needs.
What can I expect during my energy work session?
For your initial visit, you will fill out a detailed intake form which will help determine which techniques will be used in your session. You will stay fully clothed and lie face up on a massage table (Let Clarissa know if you have physical considerations that make lying on the back uncomfortable or if that position is contraindicated for any reason). Soothing music, singing bowls, crystals, Reiki and aromatherapy may all be incorporated into your session to maximize the beneficial effects. After your session, you will receive a summary of the session including notes and impressions discussed as well as a list of the various stones used and their properties so that you can continue to work with their energy.
How often should I receive a crystal/energy session?
This will depend entirely upon your particular situation and current needs. For general relaxation and maintenance, I suggest a session as often as once a month or as infrequently as once every three months (at the change of seasons).
