Frequently Asked Questions

 No. Reiki is not affiliated with any specific religion or religious practice. 

Fun facts:  

• Reiki is utilized in over 800 hospitals in the U.S. 
• Reiki is practiced in every country in the world. 
• The NIH (National Institute of Health or as I would say, "The Big Dog" in scientific research) is  beginning to fund research in areas such as Reiki, Qigong,  and Tai Chi...all of which work with the subtle energy body.   
• The Cleveland Clinic has a page outlining the possible benefits of Reiki. These include: relieving pain and tension, bringing on a meditative state, fostering tissue and bone healing after surgery, supporting well being of people receiving chemotherapy or radiation.  Reiki does not replace Western Medicine or Counseling. It is used as a complimentary modality. 

 This is a great question that comes up often! In the past, it was commonly suggested to schedule Reiki or energy sessions every 4–6 weeks. However, that approach no longer resonates with me. Intuitive and energy work is not a "one size fits all" practice—it’s deeply personal and varies from person to person.

I believe the client is the best guide in determining when to schedule their next session.

Trimatri Reiki Sessions work multi-dimensionally and reach deep levels, so it’s usually not necessary to return immediately. That said, there are exceptions:

• If you want to take a deep dive into a specific issue like Inner Child Healing or trauma.
   
• If you’re navigating a challenging life chapter, like loss, divorce, or other significant transitions, and need extra support
   

Ultimately, trust your intuition and listen to what your energy and soul are asking for.

 Virtual Energy Work Sessions

The beauty of energy work is its ability to transcend physical boundaries—it can be just as effective virtually as in person. Welcome to the next frontier of energy healing!

What to Expect During a Virtual Session

I strive to make virtual sessions as similar to in-person sessions as possible. We connect via Zoom (or phone, if you prefer), allowing us to discuss your intentions and answer any questions before we begin. Throughout the session, you’ll receive a customized blend of modalities, including Reiki energy, sound healing, and intuitive guidance.

The unique benefit of virtual sessions is that we stay connected and talk throughout. You can ask questions, provide feedback, and share how the experience resonates with you in real-time.

Preparing for Your Session

To get the most out of your session:

• Set the Scene: Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. It's best to be in a space by yourself to avoid distractions.
• Relax: Many clients prefer to lie down and turn off their camera once the energy work begins. 
• Stay Present: Audio remains on throughout the session, fostering a conversational flow just like meeting in person.
   

Optional Recording

For Zoom sessions, you have the option to have your session recorded. The recording will be sent to you within 24 hours. I highly recommend revisiting the session, as we often cover a lot of insights and information.

Clients often experience a wide range of benefits from a Life Path Consultation. Some of the most common include:

• Guidance on current issues or relationships
   
• Clarity on life path and identifying new possibilities

• Brainstorming a new business project or idea.
   
• Addressing feelings of being "stuck"
   
• Transmuting past-life karmic threads or patterns
   
• Clearing blocks or resistance
   
• Healing fragmented aspects of the soul
   
• Receiving activations and blessings

• Opening The Akashic Records (both personal and your business or project) for growth ideas

What kinds of questions can I ask during a session?
Here are some examples of questions you might pose to:

• "I feel stuck. Why is that, and how can I shift it?"
   
• "I am struggling with ____. How can I best move forward in this situation?"
   
• "What is this difficult relationship with ____ teaching me?"
   
• "How did I grow from my divorce? In what ways is it still affecting me?"
   
• "Why am I struggling to find love? How can I call it in?"
   
• "What themes or vows from a past life is affecting this one now, and how can it be resolved?"
   
• "I have an idea for a project or business that I'm excited but unsure about. Can we discuss possibilities for it?"
   

I love witnessing clients have 'a-ha!' moments during sessions. It’s often incredibly empowering to identify a theme or pattern—whether within yourself or in a relationship—so that it can be healed and transmuted. Many clients leave with a deep sense of peace and comfort, feeling aligned with the insights and healing offered through the Records.

Remember, the intention of each session is to receive what is most needed for you on a soul level. This process allows for wisdom, healing, and transformation across all levels of your being.

During a Life Path Consultation, I often access  what are called 'The Akashic Records'. The Akashic Records are broad, complex, and still not fully understood, which can make them challenging to grasp. The good news? You don’t need a full understanding of them to benefit from a session. All that’s required is an open mind and a willingness to embrace a new experience.

If you feel a nudge or pull to explore your Akashic Records, trust your intuition. The heart doesn’t shout—it whispers. If your attention keeps returning to the Akashic Records, it might be a sign that you’re being guided to receive a message, insight, or healing.

An Akashic Records session is distinct from a past life regression. While past lives may arise for healing, this work connects you to your soul’s wisdom to receive guidance and support. The intention is more intricate and collaborative.

Before your session, I recommend reflecting on what your soul may be seeking. Even if you don’t uncover a specific answer, setting an intention to receive is a powerful step. Questions often surface organically during the session—this is the magic of a co-creative experience and what makes it transformative and healing.

Do we giggle during sessions? Yes. Do we tear up? Absolutely. We’re delving into profound themes, emotions, paradigms, and karmic threads on a soul level. This work isn’t just for entertainment—it’s an opportunity to ask the deeper questions weighing on your heart or sparking your curiosity.

Once you book a session, you’ll receive an email with detailed information about the process and how to prepare.

Yes. Loved ones in Spirit may come through naturally during Trimatri® Reiki. Messages are never guaranteed and depend on what’s aligned to emerge in your session. If you’re hoping to connect with someone specific, tell me at the start and you’re welcome to invite them in beforehand. Messages often come through toward the end but my Guides tell me it's helpful to know to  "pass the phone" so to speak to loved ones standing by. 

Absolutely!  If scheduling outside the US or Canada, you will need to put in a place holder phone number 000-000-0000 then continue to schedule like normal. 

All scheduling is Eastern Time Zone. If you are having trouble, please email me. gina@thekarunalife.com 

For private sessions: Although we get that sometimes things come up and you may need to cancel an appointment - We have a 24 hour cancellation policy.  If you're unable to make an appointment, please notify Gina at 614-301-1041 as soon as possible to reschedule (or do so online). 

Appointments canceled with less than a 24-hour notice will be charged 50% of the scheduled appointment's total. NO SHOWS will be charged 100% of your scheduled appointment's total. 

Cancellation policies for workshops, events, trainings, and retreats may vary and will be stated in the event listing or in welcome email for retreats/trainings. If you are unsure, feel free to ask. 

No, tipping is not required. In fact, I’ve removed the option to add monetary tips for sessions. If you enjoyed your session and would like to show your gratitude, here are some meaningful ways to support my work that I truly appreciate:

• Recommendations or Referrals: Sharing your experience with friends and family is invaluable. My business thrives through word of mouth, and referrals from happy clients mean the world to me.
   
• Google Reviews: Reviews help new clients get to know me and build trust. If you’d like to leave a review, here’s a direct link or simply Google "The Karuna Life." Just as I rely on reviews for everything from Amazon purchases to restaurants, your review makes a significant impact on my business.
