Clarissa Boggess is a Certified Crystal Practitioner (HMCCP) through the Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy (www.hibiscusmooncrystalacademy.com) and has received Level 1 Reiki attunement in the Usui Tradition of Reiki. 
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a
 specific form of energy work, a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. During a session, hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body, as in “laying on of hands.” Reiki can also be done “long-distance,” as a form of prayer. In a Reiki session, the practitioner is seeking to transmit Universal Life Energy to the client. The intention is to create deep relaxation, to help speed healing, reduce pain, and decrease other symptoms you may be experiencing.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (http://nccam.nih.gov)  places Reiki within a domain called Energy Medicine or Biofield Energetic Therapies. In this domain, therapies are based on the belief that disturbances in energy cause illness. Energy medicine practitioners seek to improve the flow and balance of energy in a beneficial way. Many Reiki practitioners utilize complimentary and integrative energy modalities during sessions. Clarissa combines the energy recalibrating effects of crystals and stones with Reiki, oftentimes incorporating mantra, the soothing vibrations singing bowls, and gong.  
What is a Crystal Session?
A crystal healing session is a relaxing, rejuvenating, clothing on, minimal contact therapy of placing crystals and stones on the body while in relaxation. Energetic imbalances eventually manifest as physical ailments or emotional issues. Utilizing crystals (through the physics principle of entrainment) for the realignment of energetic frequencies within our body's major energy centers, helps activate our body's natural ability to heal itself; removing emotional and energetic blockages, allowing for soul learning, healing, and spiritual growth. 
Hibiscus Moon Certified Crystal Practitioners have an understanding of the human electromagnetic field and of how crystals interact with it. They are trained in how to recognize and remedy energetic imbalances or blockages within this field utilizing crystal energy. Hibiscus Moon Certified Crystal Practitioners recognize crystals as powerful energetic tools. It’s essential that those who use crystals for healing purposes have had adequate training in order to do so in an effective yet secure and sensible manner.


   *Never use Crystal Healing, Reiki, or any alternative or complimentary modality in lieu of professional medical or psychiatric advice and/or treatment.*

FOUNDATIONAL ENERGY SESSION (DISTANCE OR IN-PERSON): $65
Foundational 60-75 minute chakra recalibration utilizing the Hibiscus Moon certified crystal practitioner method. This in-person session is ideal for those new to energy work, wanting a seasonal energetic "tune-up", or looking for an effective energetic recalibration within a shorter time-frame. The distance option is ideal for long-distance clients, those wishing to avoid in-person appointments, or those short on time but in need of energetic support. This practice is thought to help in re-aligning energetic frequencies throughout the human electromagnetic field (aka: energy body, auric field). Clarissa incorporates Reiki, mantra, and singing bowls to support the session and allow for potential soul learning, healing, & spiritual growth. Gentle and effective, assisting all areas of the body. 
There are several options for distance support. Contact Clarissa at paintedlotusyoga@gmail.com for details.

Beyond the foundational chakra recalibration layout, these 60-90 minute sessions utilize the Hibiscus Moon certified crystal practitioner method to recalibrate and help re-align energetic frequencies throughout the human electromagnetic field with a focus on specific intentions and specific crystal arrays for your session. Reiki and the vibrational modalities of singing bowls, tuning forks, and mantra support the session and allow for potential soul learning, healing & spiritual growth. Gentle and effective, assisting all areas of the body.  Some suggested intentions and focused crystal layouts available include:
  • Abundance + Manifestation Layout - This Reiki and crystal session includes the standard chakra recalibration followed by a crystal layout to boost your innate ability to manifest abundance. Attention is focused on the lower three energy centers to help build your foundation, enhance creativity and courage. You go home with the stones used in your layout to continue the work on your own. Aventurine, jade, citrine + pyrite. 

  • Protection + Grounding Layout - This Reiki and crystal session can be done anytime but is especially effective done during the new moon when it is easier to connect with the Earth’s electromagnetic field in an effort to restore balance and ground our own EMF. This layout is done after a chakra recalibration. If requested, we can work with a guided meditation to bring you deeper into Earth consciousness. Black tourmaline, smokey quartz + hematite. To take home, you will receive either a grounding stone set with affirmations to use for grounding on your own or a grounding/protection pouch for your vehicle. 
 
  • Relaxation Layout - This Reiki and crystal session involves a chakra recalibration, then a focused layout to gently and lovingly help you relax into the crystals. Perfect for times of high stress, those always on the go, and anytime you are having challenges reaching relaxation on your own. Rose quartz, lepidolite, lithium quartz + amethyst. To take home, you will receive either an eye pillow infused with lavender flowers and amethyst chip stones or Clarissa’s Relaxation Tea Blend.
 
  • Self-love Layout - This Reiki and crystal session involves a chakra recalibration, then a focused layout for self-love and compassion. This layout is perfect for those encountering relationship challenges, increasing compassion, shifting self-pity into self-compassion, or for those recovering from abuse. You go home with the stones used in your layout to continue the work on your own. Rubelite, ruby zoisite, rhodocrosite + rose quartz.
 
  • Upper Chakra Activation - This Reiki and crystal session involves activation of the throat, third eye and crown to enhance psychic work, connections to spirit guides, the angelic realm, channeling, and authentic self-expression. iolite, amethyst, apophyllite + clear quartz. You go home with either a Clear Quartz point or Amethyst point to continue connection and meditation on your own. 
 
  • Transmuting Shield -  Reiki and crystal session involves a chakra balancing, then we move into a deep transmuting shield to strengthen your electromagnetic field, optimizing transmuting abilities. This is perfect for those going through a rough time, feeling vulnerable, or empaths. This layout is one that energizes, and strengthens, so it is not recommended for those looking to relax. It is perfect for those who work with the public, in high-stress environments, and in healing professions. Hematite, black tourmaline, pyrite + clear quartz. You go home with a Protective Bath (inspired by Hibiscus Moon) for future transmuting and energetic fortification when needed!

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 allows crystals and stones to raise and recalibrate frequencies at the major energy centers of the body (chakras) facilitating emotional, mental, and physical healing.

How does a crystal/energy session work? 
With intuition as the foundation, 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 healing session. You will stay fully clothed and lie face up on a massage table. Soothing music, singing bowls, crystals, Reiki and aromatherapy may all be incorporated into your healing session to maximize the healing effects. After your session, you will receive a summary of the session including notes and impressions discussed as well as 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 healing 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). 

What is your refund policy?
Cancellation Policy. Amid the ongoing uncertainty regarding COVID-19, this is a reminder of my cancellation policy to alleviate any stress or hesitation you may have about an upcoming appointment.  If you need to cancel or reschedule for whatever reason, and especially if you are not feeling well, I understand and urge you to contact me as soon as possible to do so.
