Reiki or Akashic reading: which one should you choose?

In short: choose an Akashic reading if you have a question, a choice or a pattern to clarify — it works with the mind and understanding. Choose Reiki if you're mainly looking for relaxation and to release tension in the body. The two complement each other, and many people alternate.

The difference in one sentence

An Akashic reading brings clarity to the mind (your questions, your choices); Reiki supports the body (relaxation, release). One is experienced in dialogue, the other in stillness.

How to decide

  • A question, a decision, a pattern to understand? → Akashic reading.
  • Need to breathe, release tension, come back to calm? → Reiki.
  • Both speak to you? Start with what weighs most today — you can alternate afterwards.

Can you combine the two?

Yes, and they often complement each other: a reading to see clearly, a Reiki session to let the body integrate. Every session is different, and I don't promise outcomes — I offer a space to move at your own pace.
