Reiki and Chakra Healing Sessions

“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”

– C.S.Lewis

What is Reiki and Chakra Healing Session?

As human beings, we are much more than just our physical bodies. We know through scientific research today that all psychological processes such as thoughts, emotions and beliefs are composed of energy which in turn have a grave influence on our material existence. It is now known that by taking care of our energy body (the soul) first, we can improve the flow of energy and encourage deeper overall healing.
The healing sessions are done in person, carefully designed with Reiki, Chakra and Aura healing techniques to harmonize the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body. These sessions will also include a one-on-one guided meditation and a ‘chakra assessment reading’ with healing practices suitable for you in your daily life to keep them in balance after the session.
It is important to note that since every person’s condition is unique, the outcome of healing is also varied. The outcome of this practice is also dependent on your beliefs and how you approach it. Join us to increase the life force energy within you!

What are the benefits of this healing session?

  1. Bring your chakras (energy centers) into balance for better flow of energy throughout the body.
  2. Remove mental and emotional blocks from your body
  3. Reduce aches and pains in the body
  4. Cleanse your aura from unwanted negative energy
  5. Meditate for a boost of positive energy
  6. Feel more vibrant by increasing the life force energy within you
  7. Get your own chakra assessment reading and learn what healing practices are suitable for you to keep them in balance after the session

For a few months, it seemed like a lot of things in my life weren’t going my way. Hence, after a great deal of self-reflection, I decided that I wanted to get a healing session. My gut told me that an alignment of my chakras, while may not solve things for me but could potentially help me.

I went into the session being open to the experience and transference of energy.

I really liked how we commenced with a general introduction of my life and what drew me to the healing. We then started the process, which was extremely comfortable.

In short, words cannot do justice to the healing session. However, I underwent one of the most surreal, transcendental experiences of my life.

Tehmina is a gifted soul who has a wonderful command over what she does and has the ability to connect with you on a deep level and take you through a transformational journey. A few weeks into the healing, I feel more steady in my life, have utmost clarity over things that were confounding me and after a long time, I feel content. I would recommend everyone to try it out!

Tehmina is a highly intuitive healer, and I would strongly recommend opting for Be-khudi’s chakra healing sessions if you feel any energetic imbalances and/or turmoil within or want to kick start your spiritual growth and alignment.

Following my session which included chakra alignment, healing and charging, as well as reiki – I felt a discernible change in my state of being. On that day, and in the days since, I’ve felt calmer, lighter, and significantly more at ease. My body aches which Tehmina diagnosed as being attached to chakra imbalances have disappeared. It has been a surreal experience.

I have continued my healing sessions by following Be-khudi’s 7-Day chakra healing meditations and find deep joy and peace in my exercises every day.

They say that when the student is ready, the master appears. Tehmina and Bekhudi were godsend at a time when I had made several radical changes in my life but still found myself crippled by anxiety and struggling to make sense of it all. I didn't know what exactly my heart was yearning for, I just knew that I had to stop looking outwards for answers and turn my attention within. Tehmina gently created the space for me to discover what I needed, providing tools and insight that helped me find peace in charting my own spiritual path. I appreciated that instead of being prescriptive, she met me where I was and held space for me to be vulnerable and honest. I am so grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and with her, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to find peace and joy in their everyday lives.

I was lucky enough to discover Be-Khudi at a time during my spiritual journey when I needed it the most. I had been reading a lot of self-help books and was trying guided meditations through different apps & videos available on YouTube prior to taking the course but somehow, none of it helped me in understanding the true spirit of the practice and moreover none of the benefits ever extended beyond the practice itself into my daily functioning.

The 8-week Meditation and Mindfulness course is beyond incredible to say the least. Tehmina, through her personalized style of coaching, carefully selected reading materials, short videos and worksheets, not only taught me how to meditate effectively but also her coaching helped me in understanding how to remain in a constant meditative state. The course is very well structured and it helps one develop a clear & deeper understanding of meditation & mindfulness, which I believe is the key in permanently rooting out all self-issues (anxiety, fear, etc.) caused by the pandemic and to discover the goodness that lies within.

The course has helped me in incorporating meditation and mindfulness into my daily routine and it has changed the way I operate. I am especially fond of the Zikr meditation series which is available on Be-Khudi’s YouTube channel. I would highly recommend the 8-week program to anyone who wishes to transform themselves permanently.

This is supposed to be a review of the meditation and mindfulness classes that I took with Tehmina Mansoor. But it’s been very difficult to write. I write, and then I re-write and then I re-re-write. I’ve tried using the most appropriate words to describe the transformative experience but every time I read what I have written I realise that words can never do it any justice.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I’ve had crippling anxiety since I was a child. My anxiety spun out of control some 13 years ago when my mother died of cancer. Last year I, too was diagnosed with cancer. By the summer of 2021, I thought it was too much. I was sick both in my soul and in my body and that I was too far gone for anyone to help me. And that is when Tehmina stepped in. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do this, I felt stupid when I sat quietly with my eyes closed but she gently took me from step to step. And she made me do it.

It is a miracle. I could shut my eyes one instant and in the next my inside eye would open. And it was like my eyes were never closed. I could see things both inside myself and outside. I thought I could heal everything. I felt I could see myself. She made me believe I could do it. She made me believe I could do anything. Now whenever I feel physically ill or a panic attack coming, I meditate. I meditate everywhere and all the time and it is my most favourite thing to do. I am still me but I am also more because of this path that Tehmina has so lovingly brought me on. And I know that if I keep going down this path for the rest of my life, it will be a fair recompense for the work that she has done.

First of all, I am extremely grateful to Tehmina, because of whom I started to love myself; who taught me a new way of living. She taught me to accept my present and thank God Almighty for his uncountable blessings. I got an opportunity to discover my hidden talents and capabilities. Instead of worrying about the past or future, I was shown how to enjoy my present.

I realized that instead of searching for peace in the outside world, I can find it inside my own self. I learnt how to control my thoughts, and love other people.

All the sessions were really helpful as she gave me the opportunity to learn Mindfulness and different ways to meditate. I appreciate being able to speak openly and honestly and discuss my issues which had been causing me stress and anxiety.

I found Tehmina really easy to talk to and will continue to make time to meditate as I feel that this has made me feel a lot calmer and helped with my work pressures as well.

I took Be-khudi’s Meditation course on the insistence of my daughter, who is a psychologist. And the truth is that after completing it, I realized what my ‘self-worth’ is and everything we are capable of.

I learnt a lot from the practice of gratitude with you. There were perhaps two or three things. First, I feel I have become calm and cool. The second is that I never used to think I am a good listener. But now I can listen calmly. And thirdly, I don’t react anymore.

As long as I can remember, I have had an issue with my nose, where one nostril remained blocked. But with my breathing exercises that has opened up, and I am just so relieved. I have also had chronic knee pain for so long. And even though the course ended three months ago, I have had no pain! “It has vanished just like a miracle.

I feel grounded now. And I feel I am better able to communicate. Now I think before I speak, and consciously construct my sentences. The bitter truth is, the trials of my life have not ended, and have in fact gotten more difficult. But I feel I know how to manage my situation very well and it is all because of these sessions.

I feel that the first day was very important as it encouraged and gave hope that continuously doing something to improve self-compassion is possible. That I do not have to shy away about going through stress and depression and understand that there is hope – always. I love the way Tehmina interacts, and her personality is so positive and her voice so soothing. I want to share I have never experienced anything so relaxing and calming before. I am glad that I have been introduced to meditation and breathing exercises. The last segment of meditation was the best experience.

I feel invigorated and energized especially after the segment where we stood up and tried to awaken the ‘chi’ within us. I have always been fascinated by the practices of the monks and was curious about the reality behind the strange movements they did with their hands. The knowledge was truly fascinating.

The best part of the session was making the energy ball. I had pain in my shoulders but after moving that ball to the painful area it eventually went away. Secondly the voice of Ms. Tehmina is so soothing that I enjoyed each and every bit of these two days.

The best part of this session was that it gave me inner peace and let me understand that I can control my thoughts. It let me understand that the anxiety I feel most of the time is from the chaos in my inner voice, which I now know is noise and I have to shut it down. I will start meditation.

This is neat - alumni from AKU-ISMC have set up an Urdu-English meditation platform to help people cope with the crisis of uncertainty and lockdown. We make a big deal about training future leaders in AKU-ISMC and sometimes that means people who have obvious positions of authority, like politicians, diplomats, scholars or entrepreneurs, but sometimes it means taking a lead in more personal capacities to try and make things better for others.

I'm truly impressed and humbled by Tehmina Mansoor and Zohaib Zuby. They are definitely demonstrating the kind of leadership that makes me proud to be part of AKU.
