Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. Loosely translated it means ‘Spiritually guided Life Energy’. Energy is transmitted through hands by a reiki-attuned practitioner through in-person or distant sessions. The benefits of receiving Reiki include relaxation, lower blood pressure, deeper sleep, as well as decreased physical pain. 

Savannah is certified at the Teacher Level in Usui & Karuna reiki. In this restshop she discussed reiki and other forms of energy healing as tools to help bring balance and awareness to your daily life. She then lead a Community Reiki Circle to assist in bringing balance to the chakra system. This offering was for anyone looking for simple ways to build a deeper connection with Self, learn more about energy healing, and heal in community.

In a reiki session, Savannah acts as both a conduit and an amplifier for the reiki energy. In our Community Reiki Circle, Savannah helped us connect with our Guides, cleanse our auras, and balance our chakras. Participants were asked to be as comfortable as possible for this experience, to bring anything needed to feel comfortable sitting or laying down for an hour. Comfortable clothing, yoga mats, blankets, pillows, and stuffies were encouraged. Participants were also encouraged to bring a journal to write down anything that they wanted to explore later. Water and snacks were also highly recommended. Energetic healing has an effect on the physical body, we sought to honor that and nurture ourselves.

Participants left with a basic understanding of reiki and other energy work practices, an introduction to simple energetic cleanse techniques, and having experienced a reiki session.

TLDR Equipment List:

• Water and a snack
• Comfortable clothes, light layers
• Mat, blankets, pillow to sit on
• Stuffies, journals, tissue for emotional support

About Savannah Schmidt

Hi! I’m Savannah, a guide to a more fulfilled life through throwin’ that ass in a healing circle!

I am the Chief Twerk Whisperer at Throw That Ass Healing Studio and I assist folx in connecting with the power of creativity and desire through connecting to the wisdom of their bodies. Using a combination of somatic, spiritual, and energetic practices I assist folx with tapping into ancestral guidance. As someone who resides at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, I recognize that the fight for our collective freedom includes freeing ourselves from internalized violence. 

My practice is centered in consent, trauma informed care, and compassion. I uplift and celebrate the experiences of the PGM (People of the Global Majority), LGBTQIA+ folx, and Femme identified folx.
