What to expect

As all sessions are held online, the main thing you'll need is somewhere quiet where you're unlikely to be disturbed and a reliable internet connection 

Give yourself enough time to not feel rushed, and enough space to get comfortable.

Before we begin

We'll start with a short grounding meditation to help you settle into the session.

For an Akashic Reading, we'll have a brief chat about what you'd like to explore and the questions you've brought with you.

For Reiki, the main thing is to make yourself nice and cosy to allow yourself to relax and receive.

If you're lying down, you might want to close the curtains / blinds, dim the lights, use an eye mask, place a pillow under your knees, and put a blanket over your legs.

If you prefer to sit, choose somewhere that supports your back well and use a cushion or blanket if that helps you stay comfortable. The important thing is that any physical discomfort doesn't become a distraction.

During your session

For Reiki, once you're settled, there's nothing you need to do. You can close your eyes, get comfortable and simply rest while I work through the session.

You don't need to concentrate, meditate or try to make anything happen. If you need to move, adjust your position or say something at any point, that's completely fine.

For an Akashic Reading, the session is more conversational. We'll move through your questions together and explore whatever comes up around them. You're welcome to ask for clarification, pause on something that feels important, or take the conversation in a slightly different direction if something opens up.

The session doesn't need to follow a perfect script. We work with what is there.

After your session

You don't need to do anything special afterwards. Give yourself a little time to come back and settle in, rather than rushing straight into the next thing if you can.

After that, just take the rest of your day as it comes.

Pay attention to what you need, rather than what you think you're supposed to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be spiritual?

No. You don't need any particular belief system or previous experience. Curiosity is enough.


What if I don't feel anything during Reiki?

There's no particular sensation you need to have. Every person and every session can be different.


Do I have to talk during Reiki?

No. Reiki can be a very quiet session. If something comes up and you want to speak, you can, but you don't have to.


Can I ask about another person in an Akashic Reading?

We can explore your experience of a relationship or situation, but I won't open someone else's Records without their consent.


Will you tell me what I should do?

No. I can share what comes through and explore it with you, but your choices remain yours.


Are Akashic Readings recorded?

Only if that option is offered and you agree to it beforehand.


Is this a replacement for medical or psychological care?

No. Blooming Bay offers complementary wellbeing and spiritual practices, not medical or psychological treatment.
