You cannot always see energy. But you can experience its movements, sensations and changes.
Warmth.
A tingling sensation.
Tension.
A feeling of lightness.
An emotion.
Some things are difficult to explain with words, but easy to feel.
An Energy Ritual begins with this listening.
What is an Energy Ritual?
It is a space to slow down, receive and return to yourself.
My practice draws from several approaches: Reiki, Energy Healing, Magnetism and Marma.
I do not work with the same formula for everyone.
I listen to what is present.
I listen to what your body is expressing.
Depending on the session, I may work with my hands on or above the body, stay with a particular area or simply follow what I intuitively receive.
A crystal, Tibetan singing bowl or another object may also be incorporated into the Ritual.
Nothing is automatic.
Where does this practice come from?
Reiki is a Japanese practice developed in the early twentieth century, particularly associated with Mikao Usui and the Usui Reiki Ryōhō tradition.
Magnetism and different forms of energy healing also exist across many traditions and cultures, with very different ways of being practised.
Today, these approaches are generally considered complementary wellbeing practices.
For me, there is therefore no need to convince you of a particular theory.
You can simply come with your curiosity.
Why try an Energy Ritual with Astrae Māyā?
You may be feeling tired, emotionally full or simply curious.
Perhaps you are moving through a period of change.
Maybe you have been giving a lot to others and have had little space for yourself.
Or perhaps there is no particular reason.
You simply feel like receiving.
An Energy Ritual is a moment to slow down, listen to what is happening within you and give yourself a moment that is entirely your own.
It can also offer a different way of exploring your relationship with your body, your sensations and your emotions.
What happens during a session?
We begin by taking a moment to arrive.
You can tell me what has brought you here, how you are feeling, or simply say that you do not know.
You then settle comfortably, lying down and fully clothed.
I then work intuitively with whichever approach feels most appropriate in the moment.
I may place my hands on the body or move them above it.
Sometimes I receive a sensation, an image, a word or an emotion.
I am not here to interpret your life or tell you who you are.
I notice.
I listen.
I transmit.
And I leave space for your own experience.
Do you have to believe in energy?
No.
You do not need to know anything about energy.
You do not need to believe in chakras.
You can be curious, sceptical or simply open to discovering something new.
There is nothing to achieve.
What might you experience?
Some people experience warmth, coolness, tingling, a sense of movement or deep relaxation.
An emotion may arise.
Sometimes an image or thought emerges.
You may feel very calm or, conversely, become more aware of what is happening within you.
You may also feel nothing in particular.
There is no right experience.
I will never ask you to feel something for the Ritual to be “successful”.
Your body, your boundaries
Your consent is essential to me.
Before any physical contact, I will ask for your permission.
If I would like to place my hands on a particular area, place a crystal or a singing bowl on your body, I will explain what I am proposing and ask you beforehand.
You can say no, change your mind or ask me to stop at any time.
I work with gentleness and respect for your pace, your story and your boundaries.
Anything shared during the session is treated with discretion and confidentiality.
And afterwards?
You may feel calm, lighter, emotional, energised or simply more present.
Sometimes you notice something immediately.
Sometimes it is much more subtle.
There is no need to analyse what happened straight away.
Simply give the experience a little space.
My training
My practice is grounded in in-depth Reiki training through to Reiki Master level, alongside training in Marma Therapy, Yoga, Yoga Nidra, Sound Healing and other complementary approaches.
These disciplines inform my approach without replacing intuitive listening or the uniqueness of each session.
You do not need to understand everything you feel.
Sometimes, you can simply allow yourself to receive.

Sometimes, the most healing thing you can do is simply receive.
