Back in February, 2024 I collaborated with a small business for a women's empowerment event in Putnam CT - Popular for their amazing services and strong team of independent woman entrepreneurs, Known as Smoke & Mirrors Beauty Loft. Within this business there are businesses that offer beauty services like lashes, spray tanning, nails, teeth whitening, newly offered hair services and what we are here to talk about; Reflexology & Reiki, I booked her energy healing package - Reiki.
Orchid Lilly Rose is ran by business owner and energy healer Kimmie B. If you don't already know Reiki is an alternative healing focused on someone's energy. an example of when someone may need Reiki is if they are stressed, depressed, or have low energy. When done by a professional like Kimmie, you may notice benefits like reduced stress, less tension, more energy, pain relief, and studies have shown it to help promote mental health.

Spoiler alert!
I already had 2 sessions with Kimmie and LET ME TELL YOU WHY!
I am a VERY mind occupied person, what do I mean by that? My mind runs faster than Eminem could rap. I can be very anxious and stress easily. The moment I walked into Kimmie's studio I felt a wave of peace just wash over me. Whether it was due to the soothing music and pleasant smells or if it was the comfort of the warm air that hugs you or all of it together - it felt amazing.
The first session I was dealing with 3 weeks of Drama, Stress, professional issues and personal. I went into this DETERMINED to release tension or just at least have an excuse to put the phone down and not respond to anyone for a solid hour. As soon as I laid down on the bed - I melted directly into the heated surface. I closed my eyes and left the rest of the work to the professional. She started at my crown and worked her way down the side of my body - moving to my shoulders, elbow & wrist, knee & ankles then the feet. As soon as she placed her hands on my crown I felt a wave of tingles and energy rush to her hands starting from my chest. Moments after I noticed my breathing slowed, tension was released, and my thoughts were not only clearer, but slower.
From previous reiki sessions I knew to follow the advice to let the thoughts come but to also release them and to not let them take over. It was like I had that excuse to lay down for an hour but to also file away thoughts and put them were they belong - or in file 13.
About half way through I felt like I could have just sat up and out of my body. yeah, I know, sounds crazy right? It's not uncommon for people to dream, lucid dream, or even Astro-project during a reiki session. All I could think was to wave my arm without lifting my arm. I couldn't nail down how I physically felt other than - I wanted to get out of my body and to explore. While focusing on my arms and staying completely still at the same time, I was convinced my hands were contorted like a video game glitch. Bent in ways a normal human hand could never function or achieve. I found myself wiggling my pinky then my thumb every few seconds to make sure my hands were still by my side on the table beside me. I would say my first session was a bit more intense than the second.
My second session I was a bit more curious to feel the same or similar feelings as the time before - but I was wrong. Walking into my second session I wasn't nearly as stressed or high strung. Maybe It was because I knew how amazing I would feel both during and after. The second session was more mental stimulation, unlike how physical the first session felt with my bodily disconnection and contorted hands. This time as Kimmie moved the energy throughout my body I found my mind and emotion would change depending on where she was. I still had the same energy wave flow to my crown where she started slowing and clearing my thoughts. Thinking about my friends and their situations, then letting it go, my family and their situations, then letting it go, my career, and letting the thoughts go. not letting myself stick to one topic for too long.
Then as soon as she moved to the next touch point my thoughts would flood with self love and appreciation. I loved myself. i knew i was beautiful, I allowed myself to be proud of me. The next touch point, I had business ideas come in left and right letting them go knowing damn well I wanted to sit up and write every single one down in hopes I don't forget them at the end of the session. It was crazy to live in the moment with the flow of your own energy not knowing what to expect and knowing you are in trusted, professional, caring hands just adds an extra layer of comfort.
At the end of both sessions Kimmie ended at the feet and did a sample of reflexology on my feet. Who knew a foot rub could heal pain in your shoulder? I surely didn't but I'm thankful for it now!
Each session I left leaving with a smile bigger than my face could handle. I felt on top of the world, relaxed, and ready for the next task.
I would recommend this experience to all and everyone. Whether its recurring visits or a special treat you book for yourself - anyone at any moment in their life good, bad, high or low, can benefit from a Reiki session!
