What music to play during a Reiki session

Every client brings a completely different energetic signature to the table, and curating the soundscape is part of the magic. And because my own musical background runs deep - from years of studying classical piano and playing band music on the "gloom tube" to playing for the Ottawa 67’s and performing in bands and lounges, I don't just throw on generic spa tracks. Sound design is personal.

• The Pop-Culture Playlist (Instrumental Edition): This is for the clients who want a little bit of unexpected joy on the table. Piano or cello covers of Taylor Swift, orchestral BTS arrangements, or cinematic acoustic versions of modern hits give them that "I know this song in my bones" feeling while keeping the room deeply peaceful.

• The Grunge & Rock Purists: It’s always funny how the heavy rock, alternative, and AC/DC fans are the ones who crave absolute silence, nature sounds, or deep, meditative Hz frequencies while they're receiving energy work. When you've spent your life listening to distorted guitars and crashing cymbals, your nervous system on a Reiki table just wants rushing water, rustling wind, and 432 Hz tones to finally exhale.

• The Healing Frequencies (Heart Hz): For when a client just needs a blank slate. Solfeggio frequencies (like 528 Hz for transformation and DNA repair, or 432 Hz for deep grounding) act like an energetic tuning fork, allowing the physical body to match the vibration without any external storytelling from lyrics.

So, what’s your ultimate Reiki table soundtrack? Are you asking for orchestral Taylor Swift, pure 432 Hz silence, V's Slow Dancing, or are we secretly putting heavy metal on the playlist? Drop your guilty-pleasure artist below - no judgment in the healing room.
