Frequently Asked Questions
Music Therapy & Reiki Healing
Can my session include just music therapy or just Reiki on its own?
Yes, sessions are customized to meet your needs and preferences. Sometimes a session may be a traditional Reiki session, where the client is lying down, relaxed and receiving the healing, or it may be more music focused. However, it is truly the combination of both that makes Harmonia Healing and Music offerings so unique and powerful.
How does a virtual session work?
Virtual sessions are conducted via Zoom. Music therapy interventions are adapted to fit the virtual setting and may focus on music listening and lyrics analysis, songwriting, vocal sounding, movement, and singing songs. It is recommended to use the ‘original audio’ setting so that you can be heard clearly and to use headphones for the best listening experience. It is not necessary to have instruments at home in order to engage in music therapy interventions, however, if you do have an instrument, you are of course welcome to use it. Reiki can be channeled across distances, therefore you can still receive the benefits of Reiki during a distance session.
Is distance Reiki as effective as in-person Reiki?
Yes, a distance Reiki session is just as effective as an in-person session. Energy is not confined by time or physical space, allowing for healing to occur regardless of location. Many clients have found virtual sessions to be a convenient and powerful alternative. You can receive the deep healing benefits from the comfort of your own home or while travelling.
How is music therapy and Reiki combined together?
Reiki is channeled throughout sessions and into the music experiences. Sessions often begin with a Reiki meditation and visualization, and then the energy is flowing for the remainder of the session. It is common for sessions to end with a Reiki relaxation where the client is lying down and receiving.
Do I need any musical experience to participate?
No musical experience is necessary. Our sessions are designed for individuals of all backgrounds and abilities. The focus is on using music as a therapeutic tool to facilitate healing and self-expression. It’s about the process not the product. However, you are already musical because you have a heartbeat, an internal drummer!
Is this sound healing?
Unlike traditional sound healing with instruments like singing bowls or tuning forks, Daiva uses her voice as a powerful tool for healing. Through intuitive vocalization, tone, and melody, she channels sounds that resonate with your energy, helping to release emotional blocks, restore balance, and create a deep sense of inner harmony. This is a way of using the voice as a form of sound healing, which you will also be empowered to engage in, using your own voice to heal.
Is Daiva a Reiki master?
Yes, Daiva is a Reiki Master Teacher Level 3, however due to the harmful, oppressive history of the word, master, Daiva goes by “Reiki Practitioner”.
How should I prepare for my session?
You are invited to take some time to reflect on your intention for your session and what you are looking to get out of the experience. Consider what has been going on in your life, what is something that has been challenging you and that you’d like support with. You will be invited to share as little or as much as you want at the beginning of your session. Wear comfortable clothes. You may want to bring layers as body temperature can change during energy healing. Water and herbal tea are provided.
How will I feel after my session?
It is common to feel tired in the hours and days following your session. You may also have different emotions arise. This is normal and this is the energy integrating. Drink water and rest. It is recommended you take time to process in a way that resonates for you. This could be journaling, meditation, art, or spending time in nature.
How many sessions will I need?
If you are new to energy healing, a series of sessions is recommended. 4 sessions, each 1-2 weeks apart, is a great way to start to get your body, spirit, and energy in the flow of receiving Reiki energy, as well as getting comfortable with the music interventions. The experience deepens with each session. If there is a lot you’d like to address and want to work towards personal goals, consider a program package. You can book a free Connection Call to learn more.
What is your cancellation policy?
We understand that life happens. If you need to reschedule or cancel, please contact us at least 24 hours before your scheduled session time. This allows us to offer the slot to another client in need.
