Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing I recently had my Reiki attunement. When the attunement started I started crying and felt the urge to scream but didn’t. I know it worked because I felt it in my body and my hands get really hot from my palms out. My question is this… I know there’s supposed to be like a 21 day self healing and was told I should do about 45 min to an hour of self-Reiki. But honestly I don't feel well and have just been exhausted. I’m just wondering what if anything I could be doing wrong. Or is this normal?
Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co. How do you suggest balancing post-session follow up with clients while maintaining appropriate boundaries? Post care is really important to me, but I’ve been burned a few times now with clients who almost seem emboldened about the fact that Reiki is not as “official” as other support mediums they have been accustomed to (ie therapy, doctors). I have used these experiences as opportunities to look inward and see what energy I may have been carrying that I could work on, just wondering from a “best practices” perspective what is recommended and how to appropriately provide this additional bit of support without inviting the client to request a bunch of additional unpaid care.
Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co. Can you explain how do you deal with taxes if you create an online store on your website? I offer Reiki sessions, but want to sell crystals, too. What would I do at tax time? I thought about Etsy, but a lot of YouTubers and marketing gurus encourage selling from your own websites, which is a great idea, but no one ever explains how we would deal with taxes. Thank you for your help!
Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co. Some providers of other services like hypnosis offer a free 15 minute consultation. They usually do this because they're trying to sell a high cost package, but you can usually select your own appointment time and there are limitless slots, literally anytime of day it seems. How does this work? Does this mean these people don't have anything else to do? I have a full schedule with other work and life commitments and could not do that, so I'm just wondering what the strategy is. I'm thinking of doing a free 15 minute phone consult and offering an amount off a package for doing that so I'll just offer around my availability but was wondering what the secret is if you can fill me in.
Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing As a Reiki practitioner I have my own way of asking for protection before starting a session. The need for energetic protection came up during a session with a client. Do you have a short invocation or prayer I can share with my client? She's looking for something concrete that she can read and use for protection in her daily life. Thank you so much.
Christian Stone Is selling help with starting a Reiki business a scam? Like in the California Gold rush days where it wasn't the miners who became rich panning for gold, it was the people selling shovels to the people trying to get rich. That's how I feel about things related to showing people how they can build Reiki businesses. Who's actually benefitting from your books, programs, and conferences? Is it really the little town Reiki practitioner who desperately needs to make money with a Reiki practice? If you were giving the information for free, then I wouldn't have a qualm.
One of the most classic business scams is the "self-help" and "secrets of success" where the trick to making money is to "come to my seminar" or "buy my book" so you can know my secrets, too. I'm not accusing you of being selfish or unethical, but there are no business secrets that guarantee success except luck, hard work, and having a product that everyone wants. Christian Stone When you send Reiki, what is happening in your mind? Are you thinking about anything in specific? I have been a Reiki practitioner for years, and since the beginning, I have continually repeated “sending Reiki” or “sending” in my mind during the session. I keep thinking if I don’t continue repeating that in my mind Reiki may stop. I know this is foolish, since Reiki is intelligent, but I can’t get out of the habit after so long! What should I be thinking about?
Christian Stone Most of my practice has been in-person sessions, but I would REALLY like to grow the distance Reiki portion of my business (only had a few so far). What's the best way for distance clients to find you? Google, SEO, social media? Wondering where to focus my energy first, since I'm not well versed in these areas quite yet.
Christian Stone I will be hosting my first Reiki group session and am wondering:
How long should it be? How do I fill the time other than having a meditation, grounding, and sending Reiki to the collective? Is it better to have a set intention for each session or to allow them to set their own? Do I allow time for sharing? Christian Stone What advice do you have for offering Reiki at a retreat, including fee? A friend of a friend reached out asking if I'd be interested in offering Reiki at a women's retreat. I am excited and think this could be a great opportunity, but also feel a little unprepared. Do you have any advice about what questions I should ask the retreat manager or anything specific I should share with her? How do I handle negotiating offering Reiki for a retreat? What should my fee be?
Christian Stone What is the best way to get testimonials from your Reiki clients? I’m revamping my website and want to include powerful and genuine testimonials and success stories. I’m planning on sending previous clients a text or email (maybe with a video) and am wondering if I should include a format/outline to make it simpler for them?

Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co. My 10 year old son has autism and ADHD and can’t feel Reiki on himself when I send it.

Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co. I want to offer Reiki in nursing homes for a low price but what should I wear? And what should I charge? $40 seems reasonable since where I live it costs $4,000/month to put someone in a nursing home.
