CJ's Reiki Studio
A place where you can lay back, relax and find your higher self!

About CJ's Reiki Studio
At CJ's Reiki Studio, Connie offers a unique experience that combines Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki with mindful meditation and soothing music. You will lay down on her comfortable Reiki table. Connie will then aim to guide you into a state of relaxation and possibly, mindful meditation. Connie uses the Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki technique where all 7 chakras will be balanced leaving you feeling lighter, and more centered. Connie has a passion for helping others. She started this studio to share the benefits of Reiki with her community.Although Reiki is not an Indigenous modality, Connie is proud of her Metis ancestry and finds great comfort in; and resonates with First Nation teachings. You will find the decore in Connie's studio is filled with Indigenous items. Connie was thrilled when she learned that there were 7 Chakras in a Reiki Session; as there are also 7 Sacred Grandfather Teachings: Humility, Bravery, Honesty, Wisdom, Truth, Respect and Love. Connie recognizes that these teachings align with the Reiki Principles in that when practiced, they lead to living a good, happy, healthy and fulfilling life. Connie was delighted when she heard about the 7th Generation Principle which is a philosophy that the decisions we make today affect the next 7 generations into the future. Connie does not believe that this only applies to our sustainable world, but also it relates to our spiritual world. Connie strongly believes that who we are today; how we shape and form our families by our behaviors (how we treat one another, particularly our children, grandchildren and all family) will affect the next 7 generations. Reiki helps us love ourselves so we can love others. Our 7 Chakras each have their own individual emotional and spiritual benefit. They empower us to take control of our health and well-being on an emotional, spiritual and physical level. Connie is excited to share her gift of being certified to give and teach Reiki to all those that feel a calling to learn from her.

WHY WOULD I WANT A REIKI SESSION?
We all know that stress is not good for us. We also know that life is full of stresses. We have relationships with family, friends, co-workers and those in our community (store clerks/owners, doctors, dentists, restaurant employees, neighbors, to name a few). All these interactions stir up emotions and reactions. Every time you meet and engage with these people, a small cord of energy is formed between you and the other person. If the relationship deepens the cord becomes stronger. When the interactions are healthy, we feel wonderful! We all resonate on a wonderful high energy frequency!However, sometimes these interactions are not healthy and the relationship between you and certain people sours and you no longer feel good when you're around the person. You may feel drained, angry, fearful, anxious and emotional (all these things do not feel good). We tend to feel it in our chest and/or our stomach (our hearts, our solar plexus and/or sacral chakras). You may have engaged in gossip and drama, or addictive and obsessive behaviors. You may have been abusive (or been abused). You may have been needy or been overly needed by someone. You may have even become an energy vampire or are the victim of one. You more than likely made poor choices as did the people you were in a relationship with. Relationships do not have to end poorly, or even end at all; but some do. Taking accountability for your part in any relationship breakdown is so freeing. It also helps us grow so we don't repeat the experience with someone new. Be kind to yourself and grateful that you've learned lessons or have become enlightened about yourself. We all make mistakes as we are all learning. If we are not learning, we are not evolving. We often hear the worst things take us to the best things. This is so true for me!Most of the time, cords are cut, because they become imbalanced and all that is left in the relationship is the flow of negative energy. Sadly, most people walk away from unhealthy relationships and more than likely go on to make the same mistakes with new people.Sometimes those cords are deeply rooted as they are cords to family members or longtime friends and this causes pain and hurt feelings which can often be emotionally unhealthy. Not only that, many other people will be affected by cut cords and bad energy. If the person is a family member, co-worker or a life partner, it can get very messy. You need to earn an income to survive; and if it's a life partner, you obviously have many things to consider. Ending relationships is hard; but sometimes it is the only answer. Reiki can help you transition through the struggles of a breakup.When our relationships are unhealthy our chakras become unbalanced; and the energy flow in our bodies becomes unbalanced. Over time, we can become sick; because not only does an unbalanced chakra system affect our physical body; but eventually our mental health is affected. You may be suffering from lack of sleep, poor nutrition (or complete loss of appetite). All these things will catch up to you until you deal with them. You may also repeat relationship patterns over and over until you change your own poor behavioral habits. The part you play in all your relationship breakdowns.It is your choice if you would like to discuss your issues (like Vegas; what happens in the studio; stays in the studio). It is not necessary or mandatory to discuss your issues. Trust plays a huge role in our inner thoughts and levels of anxiety. You should always feel safe with the people you give your life stories to. I am not a counselor or a therapist and do not provide these services. I am however, also a certified Life Coach and can give suggestions on how to move forward (if you ask). Prior to your Reiki Session, I will ask you to set an intention. You can do this out loud, or privately. The choice is yours. An example could be: "I ask that I be guided to a state of relaxation during this Reiki Session, where I can release all tension, stress and worry that I am holding onto. That I am cleared of all negative energy that relates to (whatever your issue is) and in the future, when I am faced with (name of person), that I remain calm. That my Reiki Session balance my body's nervous system and Chakras so that I can show up to chaos; guided by my Higher Self, so that I can make better decisions. I ask for guidance with patience, empathy and enlightenment so that my reactions are in alignment with the best interests of not only myself but all others involved. I ask that I let go of my attachment to outcome (and my need for control) and that I be empowered by pure love, faith and trust that however the situation ends, the Universe is going to align an outcome that is in the highest and best interests of all involved parties. That the outcome is going to be absolutely the way it was meant to be and I accept any outcome, even if it is not what I wanted or thought I needed."Once you set your intention, I will then start the Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Session balancing your 7 Chakras and releasing all that holds you back. The appropriate amount of Reiki energy goes directly to the areas of your Chakra system that need it most. You will draw in the Reiki Energy according to what you need to release, activate, or transform the energy of your body (your aura). You are fully clothed and laying on a Reiki Table, the lights are dimmed and candles are lit while Reiki music plays. You will be guided into a state of relaxation and hopefully, mindful meditation. Some people fall asleep and if this happens, it is a compliment as it means you trusted me enough that your state of relaxation took you to slumber. People often report feeling the energy as heat and/or tingling and sometimes, the energy can be cold. Some people have told me they saw colors. Some people become so relaxed they will experience an astral projection where they leave their physical body and explore the astral realm - a dream like trance; while in a state of lucidity. My hope is that you can go to a place of relaxation and that all of your troubles are either released and/or lessened in your mind. You may cry, and if you do that is okay too. I have soft Kleenex and wonderful hugs!Some of the reported benefits of Reiki are: Physical (release of tension, enhanced healing, relaxation, ease of pain and discomfort, increased sense of well-being, relief from fatigue, increased energy, improved sleep, strengthened immune system). Mental (clarity, insight, awareness, wisdom, less stress and anxiety, better decision making and coping skills, contentment, personal empowerment, harmony and inner peace, sense of calmness, emotional releases, clearing of negative feelings and emotions, release of addictive habits). Spiritual Initiation of spiritual and personal growth, release of energy blocks, balanced chakras for a smooth flow of energy, strengthened connection to your own Divine beliefs, increased intuition, renewed and increased energy, life force and vitality, clear knowing to your Soul's calling and/or personal path to your Higher Self.I believe that it is super important to find a Reiki practitioner that you relate to and resonate with. Every practitioner has their own style; however, if your practitioner is practicing Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, the principles are the same. Hand positions vary, but are very similar. If after your Reiki Session, you or I determine that we don't resonate; your Session will be FREE. I also believe that everyone could benefit from Reiki and know that not everyone can afford the extra costs of Reiki Sessions. Therefore, CJ's Reiki Studio is a PAY WHAT YOU WANT OR CAN. This could be a bag of apples from your tree. To make this less stressful and free of judgment for people, there is no "cash out" at the end of your Session (I also accept e-transfer to [email protected]). When your Session is complete, I will leave the room and when you are ready, you can leave payment in the wooden box that is just outside the room on the blue shelf. If you can, please try and bring the amount you wish to pay. However, there is always change in the box. After you leave the room, I will be in the waiting area at the entrance to my home, where we will discuss your Reiki Session.DISCLAIMER: Healing and medicine are two separate disciplines which can compliment each other. Reiki is the art of natural healing, not the practice or replacement for modern medicine or mental health treatment or addiction treatment. Reiki is intended to be a supplement to (an extra tool), NOT a substitute for professional medial care and treatment. Always pay heed to your caregiver and doctor's care and instructions for wellness.

INTEGRATING REIKI PRINCIPLES AND 7 SACRED TEACHINGS INTO MY STUDIO
When I learned the Reiki precepts Just for today, I will: be kind to every living being, be grateful, not worry, not anger, do my work honestly; I felt there was a huge connection between the precepts and the 7 Sacred teachings: Truth, Honesty, Courage, Respect, Love, Humility and Wisdom!When chaos arrives (that’s part of life) I use the precepts and the teachings! If we use the 7 Sacred Grandfather Teachings and Precepts as our body’s roots (like a tree): finding the HUMILITY (Wolf) and COURAGE (Bear) to always use HONESTY (Sabe) and TRUTH (Turtle) ensuring that our actions and words are always from a place of LOVE (Eagle) and RESPECT (Buffalo); we will gain the WISDOM (Beaver) to come out of the chaos of our life and the solution is always in the highest and best interests of not only ourself, but all involved parties! If you ensure you manage your worry and anger and choose kindness and gratitude and are always honest, your roots will flourish and grow!
TESTIMONIALS
Connie is fantastic at what she does. I've learned a lot about the energies surrounding me, as well as how it impacts my life in a spiritual sense. I'm excited to continue my journey with her, and learn more about myself. Thank you Connie!
RCConnie has created a warm, comfortable environment for her practice.
I have had a number of sessions with her and came away relaxed and comfy, (and I don't do this easily) I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed. She is a quiet, gentle, practioner, who understands the needs of her clientele.
KHI recently had the pleasure of experiencing the soothing touch and positive energy of a truly remarkable Reiki practitioner, and I am compelled to share my extraordinary experience. Connie, the lovely woman behind this transformative session, exudes a warm and inviting presence that immediately puts you at ease.From the moment I entered the serene space she created, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. Connie took the time to understand my needs and concerns, ensuring a personalized and holistic approach to the session. Her empathetic nature and genuine care for her clients were evident throughout our interaction.During the Reiki session, Connie skillfully guided the flow of energy, creating a harmonious and rejuvenating experience. Her gentle touch and intuitive understanding of the body's energy left me feeling not only relaxed but also invigorated. It was a journey of self-discovery, as she seemed to effortlessly identify and address areas that needed attention.What sets Connie apart is not only her expertise in Reiki but also her ability to create a safe and nurturing environment. The ambiance she cultivates, coupled with her compassionate demeanor, makes the session a holistic and enriching encounter for both the body and the spirit.As I left the session, I felt a renewed sense of vitality and balance. Connie has a unique gift for harnessing the power of Reiki to promote healing and well-being. If you're seeking a profound and tranquil experience guided by a skilled and compassionate practitioner, I wholeheartedly recommend Connie for a journey that extends beyond the physical and into the realms of serenity and self-discovery. You will be in "good hands" with Connie!!
WRConnie is an amazing Reiki Master, I have been to her a few times and I walk out feeling so amazing and balanced.
TJConnie is a friend that introduced me to to her new career as a Reiki Master.So far 3 sessions and counting. From the moment you enter her studio you feel peace and transformed. I’m not the easiest person to relax. Having said that when I’m in my sessions I follow her advice and try to leave my mind, float and go to places I usually don’t allow myself to go. My most recent experience; I was smiling as I was able to Connect with my parents that have passed away more than 15 years ago and in my mind, I gave them a hug and thanked them for all the guidance they keep giving me after all these years. She also taught me about the chakras and areas in the body and what they represent. After session is over we talk about the music choices for the session which so far are the right ones for the moment, what I felt, what she felt. We even check my blood pressure before the session and after the session it is usually down from when we began meaning that it worked as my body was able to relax.I definitely recommend Connie and her services and I’m looking forward to continue to learn from her and using her services.
TWI met Connie on a journey I was on … not a fun journey but one I had to face and get through. I truly believe meeting Connie and having her treat me gave me strength and clarity to get through my journey and feel at peace with life and where I am. She is an amazing human and I proudly call her friend♥️
JWConnie has beautiful soul, you will feel like you have known her for a very long time. She has a lot of insight and is professional. I feel very safe under her care. She does not rush you and lets you ask as many questions as you like. I feel very open after my session and ready to receive.
MHI must say a big thank you to Connie Johnson. I could not have asked for a better Reiki Master to learn from and acquire my final certification in Reiki. It is an honor and privilege to have attained this and have you as my final Reiki Master, and also to have you as a dear friend.The ideals and values you have truly speak to what it is to be a Reiki Practitioner and to display the values that a leader and healer must have.
