guided-breathing exercise before doing a brief body scan . The meditation portion lasted roughly 20 minutes once I was in the hypnotic state .
During the meditation session , while I was in a hypnotic state , Stone performed reiki . She went from chakra to chakra , tuning the frequency of each to their equilibrium and balancing my body ’ s vibrations . While she was at each chakra , Fagenholz used imagery with the colors of each respective chakra in her meditations . At certain chakras , I could actually see the color , and at times , I also felt a
tingling sensation , like warm water was being poured over me , despite feeling no physical contact from anything in the room .
After Fagenholz snapped me out of the session and cued me to open my eyes , thereby concluding the meditation , we chatted about my experience . Immediately following the session , I felt tranquil and calm , and the effects extended beyond just that day .
Since Fagenholz sent me a recording of our session that I could take with me , I was able to re-create the state of hypnosis on my own . And , as a result of takeaways from the reiki reading , I ’ ve been working to trust my spiritual intuition , use my heart a little more , and pay attention to my creative energy . The insight I received about energetic blockages and how to potentially overcome them has informed how I ’ ve been making certain decisions .
So , given that Stone says “ insight , growth , inner calm , and understanding of self ,” are the main takeaways from the practice , I ’ d call hypno-reiki mindfulness win .
