✨ The Laying On of Hands: Bridging Reiki, Energy Work, and the Miraculous Roots of our Christian Faith

At Soul Journey, we hold a sacred space where the wisdom of ancient paths and the compassion of modern practice come together—not to contradict, but to complement one another.

There’s a prevailing belief in many Christian circles that the “age of miracles” has long since passed. That healing of the body and spirit now belongs only to a bygone era—or to a select few charismatic preachers on a stage, summoning the Spirit beneath bright lights and even louder declarations.

But what if it isn’t that complex?

What if healing still lives among us—not loud or performative, but quiet and accessible?

What if, instead of a spectacle, it looks more like a whisper in the stillness… a warm hand on a weary shoulder… the presence of peace that surpasses understanding?

This is the spirit of what we do here at Soul Journey.

👐 Energy Work as the Modern “Laying On of Hands”

In the world of holistic wellness, words like Reiki, energy clearing, shamanism, and chakra balancing often sound foreign or even suspicious to those raised in traditional Christian homes. But when we step back and look at the function, not just the form, we find something deeply familiar:

The act of placing hands on another with the intention to heal,

The invocation of peace,

The belief that something unseen and sacred can move through us.

Call it “Reiki.”

Call it “Healing Touch.”

Or call it what it was once known as: the laying on of hands.

For centuries, the faithful laid hands on the sick—not to manipulate energy, but to channel God’s presence. They didn’t necessarily understand it scientifically or energetically, but they knew something powerful could happen when prayer, presence, and physical touch aligned.

💡 From Tent Revivals to Treatment Rooms

In revival tents, people once gathered with open hearts, ready to receive healing. Today, clients come to our treatment rooms with that same vulnerability. Their reasons vary—chronic pain, emotional overwhelm, spiritual confusion—but beneath every complaint is the same hope: to feel whole again.

We’ve had clients who walked in skeptical and walked out saying:

“It felt like someone else was in the room with us…”

“I don’t know what happened, but I feel like something shifted.”

“I couldn’t stop crying… and then I couldn’t stop smiling.”

These aren’t anomalies—they’re remembrances.

Because when we slow down, soften the space, and become receptive, we make room for the miraculous again. No stage, no shouting, no spectacle. Just trust. Just presence. Just Spirit.

🌿 Rooted in Faith, Open to Mystery

Our foundation is in Christianity—not as a doctrine of exclusion, but as an embodiment of radical love. And we’ve learned something simple but profound over the years: if we loosen our grip on language, we begin to recognize the patterns of healing across time, culture, and tradition.

Jesus himself used mud, spit, intention, and presence. He touched. He listened. He believed.

Is it such a stretch to believe we were made in that same image—with the ability to hold space for healing too?

💬 Final Thoughts

The “age of miracles” isn’t over. It’s simply quieter now.

It shows up in your nervous system softening for the first time in years.

It shows up in your tears, your laughter, your sudden insight.

It shows up in the subtle reorganization of energy that your soul recognizes as peace.

So no, you don’t have to choose between your faith and your healing.

You just have to be open enough to remember what it feels like to be touched by something greater than fear.

And sometimes, all it takes…

is a conscious mind,

a quiet room,

and a relaxed state of mind. And maybe some jojoba oil.

We invite you to remember that kind of healing with us.

One session. One soul. One miraculous moment at a time.
