Cynthia Salaysay, Reiki Practitioner

I’m a new convert to reiki. My session with Cynthia was my second one ever, but I tried it because of some severe lower back pain that acupuncture and massage wasn’t helping. I didn’t have high expectations, but figured there was no way it’d get worse after reiki, so why not. Cynthia was matter-​of-​fact about reiki, not touchy-​feeling or woo-​woo about the whole thing. I appreciated this. She asked me if I wanted to know what it was, and when I said yes, explained the process. Then we got to work.
She played relaxing music, and I drifted away. I found it funny how powerfully relaxing reiki is, given that she didn’t touch me. At the end of the session, my back was unlocked. Reiki with Cynthia made the biggest difference in my pain level. I could feel the benefits for the next few days, too. She explained reiki as a reset in my stress and tension system, and that is what it was for me. Relief.

I did reiki with Cynthia last week for some general stress, anxiety, and tension I’ve been feeling. She was gentle, thoughtful, and happy to answer all of my questions, before and afterward. I spent the rest of the day in a state of deep and intense relaxation, and for the rest of the week was more able to feel self-​compassion and relaxation, and when I meditated it felt more grounding and effective. Would highly recommend!
