Hi! My name is Josie, I’m in my early 40’s and live on the coast with my partner and our very black, and very silly cat. The Chakra Bee<\/em> is my corner of the internet where I share my research and thoughts on the various modalities of energy healing, and in particular, Reiki, of which I am a Master Teacher practitioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have likely landed here as you are curious about energy healing too. I hope The Chakra Bee becomes a valuable resource for you\u2014a place to explore, learn, and feel inspired. Whether you’re new to energy healing or already exploring it, my goal is to provide insights that resonate and help you on your journey to balance, clarity, and a deeper connection with yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term ‘energy healing’ has always intrigued me, but it wasn’t until 2023 that I booked a reiki session for myself and my own pathway of discovery began. Reiki is a natural healing process carried out by placing hands on or near the body to promote the flow of energy, prompting the body’s own self-healing response by activating the parasympathtic nervous system (that’s the ‘rest and digest’ response rather than the ‘fight, flight or freeze’ response – otherwise known as the sympathetic nervous system). It is a practice that can truly transform how we feel and function in our daily lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical ‘Magick’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside my own training, more reiki sessions, talking to practitioners and non-practitioners and diving into countless books, scientific research and articles, I realised that so much of what we know – or think we know – about reiki and energy healing is wrapped in layers of mysticism that can make it feel inaccessible or even a bit intimidating. This includes the ‘spiritual’ terminology often linked to reiki. This can scare some people as they think it works against religion or is not compatible with religion. In fact, reiki is not linked to any religion. That\u2019s why I\u2019m starting this blog: to share my research, my investigations, and my growing understanding of how energy flows through us and how we can work with it to create a better, more balanced life. It\u2019s not an illusion, it\u2019s not a secret, it’s not a religion (or a cult!), we are just dealing with energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, welcome to The Chakra Bee. Let\u2019s peel back the layers and demystify what energy healing is all about. The Chakra Bee isn\u2019t just for the \u201cspiritually inclined\u201d; it’s for anyone looking to enhance their well-being and find balance amidst the chaos of modern life. I am just getting my head around understanding the energy that moves through us and how simple practices can keep it flowing smoothly, leading to less stress, more clarity, and even a sense of calm in the middle of a hectic day. That\u2019s what I want to explore here at The Chakra Bee – and I\u2019d love for you to join me. It’s a place where we can talk about energy healing in a way that feels real, accessible, and without judgement. Whether you\u2019re a sceptic, a believer, or just curious, let\u2019s uncover the practical magic of energy healing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
