Celebrating My Journey with Sound and Reiki Healing

I recently made the tough but necessary decision to resign from my job, and instead of jumping straight into what’s next, I decided to pause and celebrate with a bit of healing. After 10 intense months of being in constant “fight-or-flight” mode, balancing work, motherhood, and all the sickness and stress that comes with it, I knew I needed a reset. And what better way to refocus on myself than with sound and Reiki healing?

For anyone new to sound healing, it’s a powerful experience. It uses specific frequencies and vibrations to bring the body into a relaxed, balanced state. The session includes instruments like singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, and chimes that produce sounds believed to affect the body’s energy fields, supporting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Each sound frequency resonates with different parts of the body, and the vibrations can influence our brain waves, helping us reach a meditative state. As someone finds it challenging to slow down, let alone meditate, the effect was incredible. At first, I was very aware of the sounds, but then something clicked. I felt myself relax deeply and drifted off a bit!

And then came the Reiki healing. For those unfamiliar, Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique where a practitioner uses light touch to transfer healing energy to different parts of the body. This gentle energy work supports the body’s natural healing processes, releasing any blockages and helping the energy flow freely. It’s especially helpful for people like me, who sometimes struggle to calm their nervous systems. Reiki is thought to align our chakras (the energy centers within our bodies) and promote a deep sense of relaxation.

For any other moms out there feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, I can’t recommend this experience enough. It’s a way to reconnect with yourself, release some of the stress we carry, and truly find a moment of peace. So, if you’re looking for a reset, or even just a new way to take care of yourself, sound and Reiki healing might be worth exploring.

Hi there, I'm Michelle Hanna! My family and I embarked on a new journey three years ago when we moved to Missouri. Before our relocation, I co-owned an Event Planning Company in California. Since then, I've cherished my role as a stay-at-home mom and delved into health and wellness consulting. Recently, I've taken on the exciting position of Director of Member Relations & Catering Sales Manager at the Legends Country Club. When I'm not immersed in wellness pursuits, you'll find me adventuring with my two boys and my husband of 8 years, along with our beloved Australian Shepherd. Fitness challenges, working out, and running keep me energized, while I also indulge in the art of sourdough baking. Exploring STL's dynamic food scene, organizing events for local mommy groups, supporting women-owned businesses, and experimenting with sourdough recipes bring me immense joy. Joining the vibrant community of women on STLMOMS is a true privilege, as I recall relying on similar resources when we first arrived in this wonderful city. Grateful to be part of such an amazing group!
