What is Reiki Energy Healing?
Reiki is a powerful healing technique that channels universal energy to bring you back into balance. Originated in Japan, Reiki helps reduce physical tension and calms your mind allowing for your body's natural healing to reset to a balanced state. A Reiki session allows the transfer of Reiki's healing energy from a certified Reiki practitioner to you.
In a Reiki energy healing session energy the practitioner delivers this energy by hovering hands over your body's meridians (the paths through which energy flows) and energy centers. It is not hands-on like massage, nor is it based on any beliefs or religious practices. You do not need any prior experience with alternative health therapies to benefit from a session.
What Happens During a Reiki Session with Medium Annie Larson?
In-person Reiki sessions take place in Annie's office on a padded massage table, fully clothed. Soft music plays as Annie's hands hover over your body. She uses energy crystals and sound tools like singing bowls and tuning forks.
You may experience warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation, but even if you feel nothing, Reiki is still working. Upon awakening you'll receive a gift from Annie's healing garden to enhance your newfound alignment.
Washington, DC Reiki Healing: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki and how does it support wellness in the DMV?
Reiki is an essential holistic resource for:
• Individuals with stress and anxiety
• Patients receiving cancer treatment as hospitals often integrate Reiki with chemotherapy or radiation to alleviate fatigue, nausea, and emotional turmoil
• Those recovering from surgery or injuries
• People suffering from chronic pain or conditions, including fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, endometriosis, infertility, osteoarthritis, cancer, migraines, and more
• Individuals dealing with grief and emotional trauma related to life changes, loss, or past experiences
• Professionals and caregivers experiencing burnout, helping them to replenish their emotional energy
• Animals and pets, addressing illness, unusual behaviors, and end-of-life care.
What is a Reiki Session with Intuitive Counseling or Psychic Insight?
A standard Reiki session is dedicated to harmonizing the body's energy centers. However, when you choose an Enhanced Reiki Session with Annie, she goes beyond the basics. She can detect issues within your tissues and understand why specific energy centers may not be flowing. During an Enhanced session, Annie will share her intuitive insights while working within your energy field. If you opt for an Extended Enhanced session, she will also incorporate mediumship into the experience.
Do you offer distance Reiki for clients?
Absolutely! Annie has numerous clients who travel from various states for in-person sessions, but you can also take advantage of virtual sessions without the added cost of travel. Energy transcends distance, making remote sessions just as effective. In fact, most clinical studies on the effectiveness of Reiki have been conducted remotely, with few performed in person! Distance Reiki is a fantastic choice for clients nationwide, and it's especially convenient for those in Northern Virginia (NoVA) and the Maryland suburbs who wish to enjoy a session without dealing with the heavy traffic in the Washington, DC (DMV) area.
What does a Reiki healing session feel like?
Many clients share that they feel a profound sense of calm and mental clarity. They frequently notice a gentle tingling sensation, warmth radiating from the practitioner's hands, or a comforting lightness as physical tension fades away. A lot of Washingtonians see it as a special opportunity to unplug from their devices and relieve daily stress. Most clients doze during their session.
How many Reiki sessions are recommended for optimal results?
While a single session can provide immediate relief from acute stress or fatigue, a series of 3 to 4 sessions may be needed to address long-term alignment, chronic tension, or emotional ruts. But please, use your intuition to decide what you need.
What Clients are Saying About Reiki with Medium Annie Larson
Michael Klein, Fairfax, Virginia
"My reiki experience has been wonderful. Being new to the practice, Annie has been welcoming, inviting, and knowledgeable answering the many questions I have had. My energy level, down for years, came back after one session! I would recommend Annie to anyone and everyone who is looking for reiki as well as other experiences she offers with her gifted abilities."
Kristen L., Northern Virginia
"I honestly wasn't sure what to expect out of a Reiki…It kind of blew my mind she could see/feel the pain I was experiencing...for the next few months...I had almost no cramps...I really had no hope that anything would help, much less Reiki....I [had a follow up] treatment with Annie...I'm now cramp-free. I'm a firm believer in Reiki and in Annie Larson!"
J Bird, West Virginia
"I had my first (of many to come) Reiki sessions. This was a life changing experience, I only wish I knew the effect it would have before leaving. It all hit me on my long drive back home and in the days following. So much I worried about just washed away."
Types of Reiki Sessions to Schedule
Reiki Session
Reiki is the universal life force energy that is channeled to you to help bring your mind, body, and spirit back into balance. As a practitioner, I scan your aura for issues and stagnant energy during a Reiki session.
You remain fully clothed in a relaxed state, as my hands lightly hover over your body to channel Reiki energy.
To enhance your Reiki session with messages, book an Enhanced Reiki and Reading session.
Scroll to Reiki Certifications to learn about becoming a certified Reiki Master.
Enhanced Reiki and Reading
Enhance your Reiki session by incorporating intuitive insight (mediumship only included in Enhanced Extended session). When I work in your aura while channeling Reiki, I naturally, intuitively receive information about you.
I usually pick up mental, emotional, and physical issues. I might sense memories, trauma, relationships, bodily issues, and things that are unresolved. (Note that I am NOT a medical professional. I cannot give medical advice.)
You remain fully clothed in a relaxed state, as my hands lightly hover over your body to channel Reiki energy. I take notes while you receive Reiki and then afterwards we discuss my notes so I can share intuitive information.
Usui Reiki Certifications
Choose certifications for becoming Usui Reiki energy practitioners in Reiki levels I, II, and III/Master Practitioner, Animal Reiki, and Crystal Reiki.
You can become a Reiki Master Teacher if you will invest the time and effort to fulfill the teaching requirements.
I offer classes in person at my office in Sterling, Virginia. While my preference is for you to experience all levels of Reiki learning in person, for Reiki II and III/Master Practitioner I may offer those remotely online if you aren't nearby. Reiki level I must be attended in person so that you can feel and connect with the Reiki energy channel.
Reiki Research:
Exciting Research on the Effects of Reiki Healing on Illness
Reiki not only reduced breast cancer in mice, it prevented future occurrences.
William Bengston and David Krinsley are co-authors of a 2000 study exploring the effects of biofield therapy (Reiki) on illness.
Published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, their paper, "The Effect of the 'Laying On of Hands' on Transplanted Breast Cancer in Mice," examined whether a specific energy healing modality could cure cancer.
• The Experiment: They took five mice injected with mammary adenocarcinoma (breast cancer) that carries a 100% fatality rate within 14 to 27 days. Bengston then treated the mice using an energy healing (Reiki) daily.
• The Results: The cancerous tumors blackened, ulcerated, and then completely imploded, allowing the treated mice to live out their full natural lifespans.
• Replications: In subsequent experiments they reported an overall 87.9% cure rate across 33 experimental mice.
• Some of the mice from the original experiment were subsequently reinjected with the cancer cells and failed to develop cancer. They had become immune.
"Data reported by several groups suggest that the immune system may be a particularly useful target of biofield studies in both humans and animals. The immune system appears to play an important role in the progression of some cancers, especially breast and ovarian cancers. Recent studies have shown...cancer subjects and biofield treatments [Reiki] of animals with breast cancer can affect inflammatory signaling...that biofield therapies [Reiki] promote healing by returning systems to homeostasis or homeodynamic state in which the immune system is optimal for responding to biological threats."
