Self-Development Coaching, Reiki & Energy Work

To go along through the growing process with self-awareness and introspection (or “enlightenment" as called it for myself) I also grasped the concept of the energies and frequencies, and how they are around us and in us, whether positively and uplifting us, or negatively and pulling us down. 

It was while I was introduced to Reiki in 2020, I connected the dots and started to understand the impact of the energies we are in connection with, and how energies are frequencies and vibrations influencing us! At first I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew that Reiki was a wellness practice that helped promote relaxation and reduce overall stress. I also knew a few people back then who had great outcomes with Reiki. During my first experience I felt electricity-like sensations at some moments, flowing movements in my body, and a feeling of deep relaxation I never felt before. In addition to this, the practitioner was using musical instruments during the session, which brought another dimension to my experience, explaining that sounds with certain frequencies help attune our body as a whole.  

I didn't know how to explain it, but it resonated with me right away. I grew up in a scientific world from my father, as an electronic engineer, with the notions in physics of forces, ampere, and frequencies; and the fact that everything in the universe, including living beings, has energy and can be associated with specific frequencies, as seen in quantum mechanics.

In parallel, I also grew up immersed into the world of classical music at an early age,  

and play piano for several years, where melodies, symphonies, and instruments were transporting my ears, body, and soul to another level. At the same time, I was also listening to other types of music. I didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics when it was in English for a long period of time, but I was connected by the sounds, the musicality, and the vibrations of the tunes. 

As a music lover, it all suddenly became clear how various mediums of energies, of vibrations can impact our whole body through our skin and our cells, and not only through our ears. Indeed, each musical note, as we might know as “Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Si Do” from the musical scale in solfège, has each one a different frequency impacting us directly. We have music we like, others we don't. Some make us happy, others sad, or in another mood. Some can also have healing properties making us calm and reducing stress through its rhythms and melodies. This is a question of frequency, of vibration, and diffused energy impacting our emotions, our mood, our mind, our organs, our body, and soul.

Scientists at the Instituto de Biofísica Carlos Chagas Filho, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, can confirm the healing property of music. In 2011, it was found that “Beethoven's Symphony No. 5” was destroying 20% of cancer cells in lab tests in just a few days, while the healthy cells were unharmed. Rhythm, frequency, and intensity could be key factors offering the potential of music as a non-invasive cancer therapy treatment.

Following that first session of Reiki, I was immediately attracted by this new feeling and wanted to learn more about Reiki and energy work.

Furthermore, it was when my father-in-law passed away unexpectedly in 2020, I got the confirmation that the energies were real, and there was more to learn from it. As I was just done with my Master Reiki training and beginning my journey I felt unique sensations during his hospitalization while I was practicing distance Reiki, until his light deemed down. This life experience gave me deep insights and guidance on my path. I was able to feel the body field energy, a transition, and at some levels a meaning to our existence, despite the overwhelming emotional situation we were going through. I felt the connection to something greater than oneself: The Divine Energy of Light! This was only the beginning of my energy field and spiritual journey.

To go along with the field of energies, through the years I learned from personal experiences, self-awareness work, and research that not only our emotions are connected to our body function and symptoms, but that our emotions, thoughts, intentions, and the environments we are living in were diffusing various energies, frequencies, and vibrations, impacting either positively and negatively self and others. This progression made me realize that paying attention to all the elements as a whole can give us clues on what to improve, reduce inflammation, and lower chronic stressors we might face on our life journey. 

This is why with Stephanie Holistic Coaching's concept together we are going in-depth about self-awareness and the notion about the energies we are diffusing and the ones we might be influenced by in order to improve our overall being. 

For further information ~  What is Chronic Stress?

When we are influenced by various chronic stressors emotionally, mentally, physically, and through our lifestyle… Our body envelope becomes imbalanced, inflamed, and our body’s vibration becomes energetically lower, affecting our overall health and well-being.

To help maintain a higher vibrational frequency, on one level, doing the work of self-introspection with exploring hidden thoughts, feelings, behaviors that influence our life and understanding these unconscious aspects are part of the process to be more aware of what can be improved for our personal growth.

On another level, to help along with bringing the unconscious to consciousness and improving our body’s vibration, Reiki is an additional holistic wellness tool to reduce chronic stressors we might face on our journey. Nowadays, Reiki is increasingly being used as a complementary therapy across the world and United States in hospitals, wellness centers, and by individual practitioners who have completed Reiki training levels.

Reiki is a Japanese technique and complementary practice, helping the nervous system on a cellular level with stress reduction, relaxation, and balancing the overall emotions. The roots of Reiki are believed to date back thousands of years, with concepts of energy healing present in various cultures, including ancient practices in India, Tibet, and China. However, the modern practice of Reiki as we know it was developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui in Japan. The practice involves the transfer of what we call the Universal’s Energy from the Reiki practitioner's hand palms to the client to stimulate the body's natural healing ability.

There are many benefits and therapeutic effects of doing Reiki sessions:

• It helps with fears, anxiety, depression, burnout, sadness, and mood in general,
• It supports and assists emotional and physical healing,
• It lowers pain, discomfort, and inflammation,
• It helps manage blood pressure,

• It improves self-esteem, confidence, and libido,
• It helps align with your true self,
• It ameliorates the perception of the quality of life and general well-being.

When we are under stress, under pressure, feeling rushed, dealing with concerns, sicknesses or in pain mentally, emotionally or physically… Our breathing becomes shallow as part of our body's natural "fight-or-flight" response, leading to rapid and less effective breaths, along with various symptoms.

With Stephanie Holistic Coaching breathing is part of the program as a tool to help in reducing chronic stressors and bring back balance on a functional level. Various breathing techniques like: Diaphragmatic Breathing, Thoracic Breathing, and Paradoxical Breathing will be introduced to help improve self- awareness during workshops, classes, and one-on-one sessions; along with Qigong, for example, and the 5 phases of Personal Evolution. 

What is Qigong & Breathing with the 5 phases of Personal Evolution?  

Qigong is a traditional Chinese practice that combines slow and flowing movements with controlled deep breathing, known to promote relaxation, well-being, and self-healing. Practiced regularly, it encourages us to be present in our body with a calm mental state, self-awareness, mindfulness, and helps balance our stagnant emotions and body's vital energy, named "qi,". 

According to Chinese medicine, the only 'bad'' emotion is a stuck emotion. Since our emotions can get unbalanced in either direction with too much, or too little, they need to be overall balanced; and Qigong is a self-healing practice that promotes overall wellness while addressing the emotions.

There are different variations of Qigong, and with Stephanie Holistic Coaching we will learn about the 5 phases of Personal Evolution that support the emotion and every organ in the body, while in connection and in harmony with Nature and the Elements: Water, Metal, Earth, Fire, and Wood.

Included in the Level 2 class of Stephanie’s Body & Movements Wellness Workout, a 6 weeks routine series, the 5 phases of Personal Evolution is introduced along a unique self-development program.
