A Psychic Experience with Reiki

I often find that meeting the paranormal needs of a family or individual does not always end with addressing spiritual activity alone. Paranormal experiences can create emotional stress that lingers long after the spirits are dealt with. Sometimes, spiritual counseling and healing are needed so families can process what they have experienced and begin to move forward. The clients’ names in this story have been changed to protect their privacy.

My team and I have been working with a family who endured significant paranormal activity and are now focused on healing from the aftermath. The road has been long for them. What took place during a recent weekend session was meaningful for both the family and for me personally, and what follows is my firsthand account of that experience.

Preparing for the Session

The family asked if I could bring our colleague Melissa, a Reiki practitioner, to perform a session for the household — particularly for Linda’s son, Tom.

Tom is a non-verbal autistic young man. During my first visit to the home, it became clear to me that Tom was extremely intuitive and psychically gifted. He seemed to know things about me and about his home that he otherwise would not have known.

For those unfamiliar, Reiki is a Japanese technique associated with stress reduction, relaxation, and healing. It is traditionally practiced through gentle touch or the placement of hands and is based on the idea that a life-force energy flows through us. When that energy is balanced, people often report feeling calmer and more centered.

The word Reiki combines two Japanese terms — Rei, meaning higher wisdom, and Ki, meaning life-force energy — often translated as spiritually guided life energy.

Beginning the Reiki Session

Melissa asked me to remain present and assist where needed. I helped her set up the table while Linda played relaxation music on the television.

We invited Tom to sit on the table first, but he was understandably unsure of what was happening. Linda mentioned that he had never even sat on a physician’s table before. When Tom chose not to lie down, Linda volunteered to begin the session herself to reassure him.

While Melissa worked with Linda, I stayed near Tom and kept him engaged. I found myself communicating with him through calm thoughts rather than spoken words. When we made eye contact, it felt as though he understood. At one point, he brought me a bag of chips as a gesture of hospitality. In thought, I declined and asked if he wanted them instead. It was remarkable to feel such a quiet, wordless connection.

Tom also began chanting softly. What amazed me most was that his chant matched the same frequency and rhythm as the relaxation music playing in the room. He remained calm throughout the entire process. Eventually, Tom chose to lie on the table beside his mother, and Melissa seamlessly continued the Reiki session with both of them.

Entering Meditation

I began my own meditation process, asking God to protect everyone present and to allow healing energy to flow through the family. I counted backward from ten and allowed myself to settle into a focused state.

As I deepened into meditation, I began to feel warmth and a strong sense of peace fill the room. I asked if the Archangels could come to assist. I am not certain who arrived, but I perceived five angelic figures surrounding the table.

They stood in a triangular formation around Melissa and the table — one at the base and two along each side. The angel positioned near Linda’s head communicated to me that they were present because of Melissa’s intentions and requests for healing. I felt immense respect for Melissa’s connection and the sincerity of her work. Her true intent to help this family felt powerful and genuine.

Even recalling the moment now fills me with emotion. I felt honored to witness something that felt deeply meaningful.

The Number Five and Symbolism

During this experience, the number five came strongly to mind. Later, I reflected on symbolic meanings associated with the number — guidance, encouragement, and significant change. To me, the presence of five angels felt connected to the transformation the family was going through.

The Vision

My psychic experience with Reiki: I could see Melissa with her hands over Linda’s chest and shoulders. The angels were all around them. Gray clouds churned above the table, and I saw the figure of a man rising from Linda. I was then shown the outside of the duplex, where the angels moved outward carrying this man with them.

I understood this figure to be a negative attachment. Through Melissa’s work as a vessel, and with the angels being called upon to assist in healing, this presence was removed and carried onward.

As the angels ascended into the sky, they left behind a sweet fragrance of peonies. The peonies felt symbolic — the palest shades of pink, almost white — a gentle sign that healing had taken place.

"White or very pale pink peonies are often associated with humility, reflection, and compassion. They serve as reminders to act honorably, to acknowledge mistakes, and to share love with others."

Pale pink peonies, described in the session as a symbolic sign of peace, healing, and reflection.

After the Session: My Psychic Experience with Reiki

Before this experience, I had never witnessed a Reiki session firsthand. What stayed with me most was the shift in atmosphere afterward. The home felt lighter, as if renewed energy flowed through it. Linda appeared changed, and Tom seemed to carry a peaceful presence around him.

This experience deepened my appreciation for how healing practices — spiritual, emotional, or meditative — can support families after intense paranormal encounters.

Whether someone interprets the events spiritually, symbolically, or psychologically, the outcome for this family was undeniably positive.

There is no doubt in my mind, body, or soul about the impact that positivity, intention, and love can have on those willing to receive it.
