Frequently Asked Questions
Energy Healing is a complementary therapy used alongside conventional medical treatment to support the body’s natural healing. It is based on the principle that all living beings have a vital life force energy. Imbalances or blockages in this energy flow can lead to physical, emotional, or spiritual ailments. Practitioners aim to restore balance by clearing blockages, removing negative energy, and rebalancing the body’s energy channels to stimulate the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. Many people report feeling relaxation, reduced pain, and improved well-being after energy healing sessions.
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It involves a practitioner using their hands to transfer universal energy (or “Rei”) to the recipient to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Energy-based medicine is an approach to healing that uses the energy fields within and around the body. This form of medicine aims to balance and restore the body’s energy flow to improve health and well-being and support the body’s natural healing process.
The mind-body connection is the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can directly impact our physical health. By cultivating positive mental states and emotional well-being, we can influence our physical health, reduce stress, and promote healing.
Spiritual psychology explores the intersection between psychology and spirituality. It addresses the deeper aspects of human experience, such as purpose, meaning, and the connection to a higher self or divine power.

Ro-Hun Therapy is a transpersonal therapy that focuses on clearing negative emotions, thoughts, and patterns from the subconscious mind.

We all have a space in our psyche that holds our inner child – the pure, innocent and creative aspect of ourselves that carries memories, feelings, emotions and past experiences. By healing core wounds and nurturing our inner child, we cultivate self-love and a deeper acceptance of who we truly are. This process allows us to reclaim the creative expression, spontaneity and joy that is our birthright. When we strengthen the relationship between our inner child and our adult self, we can express this exuberance and creativity with the wisdom and maturity of who we are now.
Soul memory refers to the deep, intrinsic knowledge and experiences carried by the soul across lifetimes. It encompasses wisdom, lessons, and patterns that influence your current life.

During an energy healing session, you can expect a calm and relaxing environment where the practitioner may use hands-on techniques, crystals, sound, or other tools to balance your energy. Sessions are typically peaceful, and you may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, or emotional release.
To prepare for an energy healing session or reading:
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before the session to ensure your body is well-hydrated.
- Dress Comfortably: Wear loose, comfortable clothing to help you relax.
- Set an Intention: Reflect on what you hope to achieve or release during the session.
- Avoid Heavy Meals: Eat a light meal before the session to avoid feeling sluggish.
- Be Open-Minded: Approach the session with an open heart and mind, ready to receive healing and insight.
You might need a home clearing if you feel stagnant energy, experience frequent conflicts, or notice an overall sense of discomfort in your space. Home clearings help remove negative energy and create a more harmonious environment.
Goddess ceremonies can include rituals such as moon circles, honoring feminine deities, seasonal celebrations, and rites of passage. These ceremonies aim to connect participants with divine feminine energy and promote empowerment and healing.
Sound baths involve immersing oneself in sound waves produced by instruments like gongs, crystal bowls, and tuning forks. Vibrations from sound can realign the body’s energy, clear blockages and restore balance. Binaural beats can balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain. There is growing scientific interest and evidence supporting sound therapy, particularly in its ability to reduce stress, manage pain, and improve sleep and mental health. Sound baths also enhance meditative states.
Brainwave entrainment is a process where the brain synchronizes with external sound frequencies, influencing brainwave patterns. Different brainwave states—such as delta (deep sleep), theta (meditation), alpha (relaxed focus), beta (alertness), and gamma (high-level cognition)—can be stimulated using specific sounds. This technique can promote relaxation, enhance focus, and boost creativity by guiding the brain into the desired state, making it useful for stress management and cognitive improvement.
Chakras are energy centers within the body, each corresponding to different physical, emotional, and spiritual functions. There are seven main chakras, running from the base of the spine to the crown of the head, that need to be balanced for optimal well-being.
The Akashic Records are a metaphysical archive containing all events, thoughts, and experiences of every soul throughout time.

Accessing the Akashic Records can provide understanding of karmic patterns, and offer profound guidance on one’s life path and soul purpose.
Walking a labyrinth is an ancient meditative practice that promotes relaxation, introspection, and spiritual insight. It crosses cultural and religious doctrines. The labyrinth’s winding path symbolizes a journey to one’s center and back out into the world, facilitating mental clarity and emotional healing. It is a powerful tool for reflection and healing during the grief process.
Meditation offers numerous benefits, including stress reduction, improved focus, enhanced emotional well-being, and increased self-awareness. Regular practice can lead to a deeper sense of peace and a greater connection to one’s inner self.
Meditation techniques that use creative visualization are powerful tools for achieving a goal or healing from an illness. Techniques that incorporate active imagination allow your conscious mind to interact with your subconscious mind to explore deeper meaning or resolve inner conflicts.

The subconscious and unconscious are often used interchangeably, (including here at Soul Collaborators), but they have distinct meanings. The subconscious refers to thoughts and memories that are just below the surface of awareness, but accessible with a little bit of effort, for example remembering a phone number. The unconscious is deeper, containing repressed memories, desires and instincts that are not easily accessible. The unconscious influences our behavior, thoughts and feelings without us being aware of it. Typically, the unconscious requires deeper exploration, such as through therapy, to uncover and understand its contents.
After an energy healing treatment, you may feel a sense of deep relaxation, clarity, and emotional release. Some people experience increased energy levels, while others may feel tired as their body integrates the healing. It’s important to drink plenty of water, rest if needed, and allow yourself time to process any emotions or insights that arise. Healing effects can continue to unfold over the following days or weeks, promoting ongoing balance and well-being.
The need for multiple sessions varies depending on individual goals and needs. Some people experience significant benefits from a single session, while others may find that a series of sessions is more effective for deeper healing and long-term results. Your practitioner can help you determine the best approach based on your specific situation and desired outcomes.
