Channeling Energetic Current: A Living Practice of Life Force Energy
We all carry the innate capacity to connect with and channel energy. As long as we are breathing, it is happening. Channeling with intention is simply the moment we tap into this remembrance—becoming open to it and attuned.
Channeling energetic current reminds us that we are everything and nothing—all at once—embodied within the unique form each of us inhabits. Across diverse practices and traditions, there is a shared recognition: the body is a sacred vessel. It houses sparks of intuition and the heart’s wisdom, and it acts as a conduit, linking us to the atmosphere around us and to the vastness beyond.
Incorporating the grounding element of the Earth—the dense matter and magnetic pull of the planet’s core—supports us in remaining both anchored and fluid. This deep rooting enables the body to be a clear channel for energy, moving with presence and fluidity.
Energetic current is life force energy. It is the essence from which we are created, and it is through this essence that we create. While practices vary, my approach is guided by intuition and shaped through intention. I attune both my physical and energetic bodies to serve as a grounding conduit, while also expanding as an open, receptive vessel—inviting the current of life force to move freely through.
In session, while in physical presence with you, I tune into your body’s energy and work with a combination of light touch, deeper contact, and non-contact movements around the body. Because life force energy is infinite and without form, it transcends the limitations of physical space. As such, I also offer distance sessions, which can be just as potent and effective as those held in person.
Experiences within these sessions vary along a broad spectrum. You may encounter deep nervous system relaxation, profound rest, glowing radiance, visualizations, or sensations of clearing and release. Each session is unique, guided by the moment, and in resonance.
My journey began in childhood, when I started to feel sensations of energy moving within and around me—tingling in my fingertips, vibrations in my palms, and subtle currents throughout my body. At first, I felt confused by these experiences. Over time, I was guided to connect with nature—trees, water, soil, and the living world around me. These encounters became a kind of initiation: a remembrance that I am nature, that not all life is tangible, and that we are woven into the ecstatic and cyclical current of existence.
As my trust in this unseen energy deepened, so too did my curiosity. This led me to the Usui Reiki system—a practice designed to be accessible and universal, untethered to any specific religion or dogma. Reiki emerged from the sacred visions of Dr. Mikao Usui, received during a period of fasting and retreat in a cave on Mount Kurama, Japan. Being initiated into this lineage was a pivotal moment in my path, deepening my attunement to the flow of energetic current and opening new layers of perception. I hold deep reverence and gratitude for this lineage and the wisdom it carries. It helped me find my unique way of connecting.
While I no longer formally practice within the Reiki system, its influence continues to echo through my work. Today, I connect to movement and varied (non Reiki) patterns as they arise organically in each moment, guided by intuition and presence.
