In the chaos of daily life, spaciousness is hard to come by.
Most of us wake up with a mental to-do list already in full swing: emails to answer, deadlines to meet, kids to get to school, bills to pay, errands to run. There is so much to manage that we easily fall behind on our emotional processing, relationships, and lose touch with our creative purpose and projects. Our days are a blur of obligations, punctuated by moments of exhaustion where we scroll on our phones just to take a break.
This grind isn’t just exhausting—it’s addictive. The moment a space opens, we fill it. To sit down and be spacious and calm might feel like slamming on the brakes. So we stay in a cycle of hyperarousal that depletes us and can keep us disconnected from our ability to be present and from deeply important parts of ourselves. This is deeply tied to depression, anxiety, and chronic pain and illness.
We can't keep this up. Not as individuals, and not as a society.
We have to slow down.
And I wish I could tell you that all you have to do is schedule a weekly Reiki session to fix it. But the truth is that that alone is not going to cut it. Yes - Reiki will provide a deep relief in the midst of everything and will give you an opportunity to "catch up" with yourself, but a serious transformation takes more. It takes spaciousness - extended time alone, to decompress, to process. The sessions I offer are not just an isolated moment of rest, but are intended to help you extend these renewing practices into your life more broadly.
What Happens When We Slow Down
When we carve out time for ourselves, something remarkable happens: we begin to process.
That lingering anxiety? It finally has room to unravel.
Empathy returns.
Those emotions you’ve been pushing down? They surface gently, asking for acknowledgment and release.
That sense of disconnection? It starts to fade as you tune into your body, your breath, and your heart.
Self-compassion returns.
Ideas start flowing.
Problems start resolving.
Spaciousness isn’t just about slowing down—it’s about creating the conditions for healing and self-awareness. It’s a rare opportunity to shift from autopilot to presence, from coping to thriving.
Why Spaciousness Matters for Healing
In a system that disguises exploitation as productivity, spaciousness is a defiant thing. It’s a reclamation, an act of healing ourselves and our collective. Without time to process, we accumulate stress, tension, and emotional residue that can show up as burnout, anxiety, or even physical pain. If these don't find an outlet, they return into us, which can often lead to depression. Alternatively, we take it out on others, creating a domino effect of suffering.
At Somatique, my Reiki sessions are not only designed to create spaciousness, but also to provide you with the practices to create it for yourself. In my sessions, you’ll experience a sanctuary from the grind—a chance to reconnect with yourself on every level. Through guided breathwork, meditation, and energy work, we create a container where you can release, restore, and reconnect with yourself in a deeply meaningful way. My intention is to not provide just one hour of relief, but to create a broader movement toward this spaciousness in your life.
