WHAT IS IT & HOW DOES IT WORK....
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a traditional Japanese form of energy healing that was developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. Derived from the Japanese words "rei" (universal) and "ki" (life energy), Reiki is based on the idea that vital energy flows through all living beings. This energy is what sustains life and promotes healing in both the body and the mind.
Reiki practitioners use a technique called "palm healing" or "hands-on healing." Through this method, they can transfer universal energy force from their palms to the patient, encouraging the emotional or physical healing of the person by balancing the energy field around them so their body can use its own inner wisdom to heal itself. Reiki practitioners do not heal you, they support you on your healing journey.
How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is grounded in the belief that a life force energy circulates within and around us, vitalizing our body and supporting its ability to heal itself. When this energy flow is disrupted—often due to stress, illness, or negative emotions—our wellbeing can be affected, potentially leading to physical or emotional imbalance.
The Principles Behind Reiki:
At the core of Reiki practice are a few key principles that guide how this energy is harnessed and used for healing:
Universal Life Force: Reiki is based on the understanding that a universal life force energy animates all living beings. This is the energy that Reiki practitioners aim to work with to promote healing and balance.
Energetic Balance: Practitioners believe that health and wellness are a result of a balanced energy system, and that disease and illness are a consequence of energy blockages or imbalances.
The Power of Intention: The intention to heal, set by both the practitioner and the recipient, plays a crucial role in channeling and activating the life force energy.
Benefits of Reiki:
Reiki works on different levels—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—enhancing everything in life. While Reiki is not a cure for diseases or conditions, it may assist the body in creating an environment that facilitates healing. Here are some of the potential benefits Reiki can offer:
-
Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Reiki can provide a space for you to relax and reduce stress, which in turn can enhance overall wellness.
-
Balancing Energies: It helps balance the body's energies and promote a sense of harmony and balance.
-
Emotional Healing: Reiki can aid in healing emotional wounds and may contribute to better emotional health and well-being.
-
Supports the Body's Natural Healing Abilities: While Reiki is not a standalone treatment, it may complement medical treatments and help accelerate the body's natural ability to heal.
-
Improves Focus and Clarity: Reiki can help clear the mind and improve focus, making it easier to handle challenges and remain centered during stressful times.
-
As a complementary health approach, Reiki is practiced in many hospitals, medical clinics, and hospice programs all over the world. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for all ages and can be received by anyone who is interested in enhancing their well-being. Theser are no side effects.
Channeling Energy to the Recipient:
A Reiki session typically involves a practitioner placing their hands lightly on or just above the recipient's body in strategic locations. These placements correspond to key energy centers (chakras) or specific areas of discomfort. The practitioner acts as a conduit for universal life force energy, allowing it to flow through their hands and into the recipient's body.
During a Reiki session, recipients often report feeling warmth or tingling sensations where the practitioner's hands are focused. Although the experiences during a session can vary widely, in general, most people describe a profound sense of calm and relaxation.
The guiding philosophy behind Reiki is that by influencing the flow of energy in and around the body, the body's natural healing processes can be supported and facilitated. By restoring energy balance, Reiki is said to relieve tension, reduce stress, and create a state of equilibrium that promotes healing and overall wellness.
The beauty of Reiki is that it can be beneficial in any state of health. It is used not only as a technique for promoting healing but also as a method for improving the overall quality of life and pursuing a path of personal and spiritual development.
"I really enjoyed the reiki session with Anysa. I felt very calm and safe in her presence and expert guidance. Her approach is soft and intuitive and raw at the same time and she helped me release some stuck energy and emotions. I felt so much lighter after our session. 🙏💜"

Online Reiki Sessions
In the modern age, the healing power of Reiki can be harnessed not just in person, but also through the digital realm, offering flexibility and comfort while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional sessions. Here's how you can experience Reiki healing, no matter where you are in the world.
Duration of Each Session:
Each session can last anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes based on your specific needs and preferences. This duration allows enough time for a thorough session where the energy can be fully channeled and adjusted, ensuring a holistic experience.
How to Prepare for an Online Session:
To get the most out of your online Reiki session, preparation is key:
-
Find a Comfortable Space: Choose a quiet and peaceful area where you won’t be interrupted. This could be a bedroom, a secluded corner of your living area, or any place that feels secure and private.
-
Create a Restful Environment: Lie down on a bed, couch, or yoga mat. Use cushions and a blanket to make yourself as comfortable as possible.
-
Set the Atmosphere: Enhance your environment according to what relaxes you. Dim lights, light a few candles, or play soft music to help create a serene ambiance.
Equipment Needed:
-
Good Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable and fast internet connection to maintain a smooth and uninterrupted session.
-
Webcam: A webcam is essential as it allows the practitioner to observe your reactions and modify the session accordingly.
-
Zoom: Online sessions are generally conducted via Zoom. This software should be installed and tested on your computer beforehand.
-
Separate Device for Music: If you like to have music during your session, set up a separate device to play your choice of peaceful tracks. This ensures that your computer can prioritize maintaining the video call quality.
By setting the right conditions and using the right tools, an online Reiki session can be just as profound and uplifting as any in-person session. Whether you’re looking to heal physically or seek emotional balancing, these sessions offer a convenient and effective avenue for wellness right in your own sanctuary.
"I had a reiki healing with Anysa this morning. I have been feeling uplifted and joyful since. Also, my heart is very open. It was a simple and beautiful experience and I highly recommend it. I get the sense that Anysa is a gifted healer. She holds a safe and compassionate space. Thank you Anysa."

Good to know
-
What is Yoga?Yoga is an old discipline from India. It is both spiritual and physical. Yoga uses breathing techniques, asanas (excercise poses) and meditation. It helps to improve health and happiness.
-
How many times per week should I practice yoga?Yoga is a great form of excercise. Even if you only practice for one hour a week, you will experience the benefits of the practice. If you can do more than that, you will certainly start to experience more benefits. It is suggested to start with two or three times a week, for an hour or an hour and a half each time. If you can't do that, and you only have 30 minutes, that too is perfectly fine. Do what you can, allow your body to learn as you go and don't be too hard on yourself. Soon you will find that your body will be naturally drawn to yoga and will ask you for more.
-
How Is Yoga different from stretching or other kinds of fitness?Yoga is more than just physical postures. Unlike stretching or fitness, which mainly focuses on the excercise. The physical Yoga Practice is just one of aspect of yoga just as Patanjali's eight-fold path illustrates Yoga is unique because it connects the movement of the body and with your breath. Connecting the mind, body, and breath helps us to direct our attention inward. Through this process of inward attention, we become more aware of our experiences. You can expect for your body and your mind to become more flexible the more you pratice yoga.
-
Is Yoga a Religion?No. Yoga is not a religion. It is a philosophy that began in India an estimated 5,000 years ago. The father of classical ashtanga yoga (the eight-limbed path, not to be confused with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois' Ashtanga yoga) is said to be Patanjali, who wrote the Yoga Sutra. These scriptures provide a framework for spiritual growth and mastery over the physical and mental body. Yoga sometimes interweaves other philosophies such as Hinduism or Buddhism, but it is not necessary to study those paths in order to practice or study yoga. You do not hve to surrender your own religious beliefs to practice yoga.
-
Can I do Yoga if I'm not flexible?Yes, everyone can do yoga even if you are not particularly flexible. There is a common misbelief that you must be flexible to practice yoga. The yoga will help with your flexibility, but the goal is not to stick your leg behind your head. In yoga you improve not only flexibility but also strength, coordination and overal well-being.
-
What do I need to start yoga?All you need to start practicing yoga is an open mind interested in learning and comfortable sportswear, don' t worry about shoes as you will be barefoot. If you are practicing at home you will need a mat and it could be helpful to have props such as yoga blocks or straps (if practicing at home and you do not have these, improvise with pillows and bath robe belts will do).
-
Why are you not meant to eat 2–3 hours before class?Everyone's body is different, but generally eathng 2-3 hours before practicing yoga is not idea. While practicing yoga you will go upside down, twis and bend forward and back so having a full stomach may feel uncomfortable. Everyone is different so the best advise is generally to experiment with light snacks if you are really hungry right before class but see how you feel.
-
How do you practice Yoga online?Yoga Online is practiced same as if you were in a studio but instead of being in person with other students and your teacher, you will be following live instructions from your teacher on your device. Instead of having people around you, you are in the comfort of your own home and can take the final savasana as long as you wish. We use zoom as a platform to teach.
-
What is Zoom and how does it work?Zoom is a web-based video conferencing tool with a local, desktop client and a mobile app that allows users to meet online, with or without video. Setting up for zoom is straight forward, once you register to a class you will receive a link and clicking on that link will bring you to the video conference room where the class will take place.

Anysa
An Italian - American from the outskirts of Rome. Sporty and rebellious, I have always been one to push boundaries and seek the paths less travelled. After graduating with a degree in Fashion History and fast-forwarding through a Master's in Fashion Curation, I was fortunate to be able put my advanced degrees to use by curating inspiring exhibitions and museums. While on pause from my fashion career, I found myself on a detour to what has now become one of the most incredible paths I could have imagined...
Seeking a new adventure, I spent 2 months in an orphanage in Haiti teaching English, where I developed and led a successful fundraiser to raise the necessary funds to build a new dorm for the children. Invigorated, energised and deeply moved, I set off to see more of the world and its vast cultures. I spent nearly 1.5 years travelling around Southeast Asia, learned Reiki (L2) from the Master Luna Praya in Thailand before finding my way to India. Submerged in its rich culture of Yoga and Meditation, I lived in a few ashrams and participated in several 10 day silent meditation courses (Vipassana). My time in India was undoubtedly instrumental in guiding me on my Yoga journey.
Driven by my new-found passion, I returned to London where I studied under the senior teachers of Fierce Grace Yoga, including Yogis Michele Pernetta, Emma Croft, Karen Bellfield and Mark Oram. A student at heart, I’ve continued my development by completing Rainbow Kids Yoga Teacher Training, Chair Yoga Training and pre- and post-natal Yoga Teacher Training.
A winding journey has led me to where I am now and I am excited to continue to grow, learn, teach and practice with all of you.
I love teaching, I love yoga, and I love sharing the love.
