Spiritual Support for Change and Relaxation

Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Why am I having these strong feelings?  

Emotional releases are common during reiki sessions, much like you might experience emotions during a massage. You may not know why you are having the feelings, and that's okay. Many horrible agonies are suppressed by the conscious mind for good reason. The point of our service is to help you get the feelings out, and out of your way.

We do not profess to be psychic. We do not know why you are feeling what you are. The general reason is: We are transition specialists. Since you have found us, and felt drawn to work with us, you are due for a change. As part of whatever transition you are involved in, you must let go of something that is painful to part with.

You may be letting go of the house you grew up in, or your fear of success. That is up to you to figure out.

We are not trained as counselors and cannot legally become involved with your case like a counselor could. This session is subtle in nature, and is not intended to replace licensed professionals when needed.

Q: Can you tell me who I was in a past life?

There are many psychics available for such desires. We do not delve into that. Our services are for straightening you out in this lifetime so that you can evolve--now. Your past is in the past. Close that door and move forward.  During the session you may find out some information about previous lifetimes via dreams.  Keep a journal handy for that possibility.


Q: Can you heal my...?

Norris Reiki services are not intended to replace licensed medical or psychological care. Please see a professional for all serious illnesses. We work mostly on the subtle mental and emotional levels. Although our work may provide you with some relief of some symptoms, we cannot for legal reasons say that we practice healing. We cannot prescribe or strongly suggest any action on your part that might be somehow construed as medical advice. You will find that we are very careful about our wording in any communications with you, tending to keep our emails short.


Q: Who else is on the team besides Alice Norris?

Alice is the main practitioner.  There are no other physical people on the team currently.  If you notice more than one entity during a session, these are non-physical entities, several of whom are invited to join to help with the sessions.  Archangel Micheal, Archangel Gabriel and a color of green are commonly noted.  Your personal guides generally attend.  The higher selves of higher level reiki practitioners are also invited.  A couple of my teachers attend at times.  Whoever attends your session is your healing team.


Q: How long have you been doing this?

Alice Norris got started with reiki on animals back in 1980.  She began actively promoting herself as a reiki practitioner in 2002.  


Q: What relation does reiki have to God?

Reiki is a universal energy available to all.  You do not need a religion in order to practice or receive such services.  These normal human abilities have for the most part remained untapped.  

Since we are as yet unable to quantify it using the current scientific abilities, it is labeled by most as a religious belief, a system of faith.  It cannot therefore be considered true medicine.  Its power is usually assigned to God, much like prayer assigns all power to God.  

We use the term "higher self" to refer to that part of us beyond the physical knowledge of our body and conscious mind.  This higher self has a great deal of power and is sometimes mis-named as God. 

I am utilizing human abilities, and I trained myself in order to give you the highest quality.  Reiki is work that I do for you and I expect payment and credit for it.  

If you wish to relate our services to God, you can say that God granted me the abilities I have, and it is in his will to have me trained up in them for the benefit of all whom he chooses to draw to me.  God decides how much benefit and in what way you receive the services.  If you believe that God is love and wants the best for all of his people, then (if you have tried reiki) you will understand that this is a good thing for all of God's creation.

If you wish to relate our services to Christianity, you can do so in the following way:  Jesus said we would be able to do greater things than he was doing because he was going to the Father. 

Read just the red lettering of your favorite translation, and you might understand.  If you choose to say you have no power, or that others have no power, you are calling Jesus a liar.  We have incredible amounts of power which is what Jesus was constantly trying to relay. 

All the other writers talk about us being weak.  Generally, religious leaders also call us weak.  Jesus always spoke of our power, but few take him at his word.  It takes hard work and dedication to use your power.
