Integrated Energy Therapy®: Releasing the Past, Reclaiming Your Power, and Living Your Purpose
A deeper look at Advanced Integrated Energy Therapy® and what you can expect during a session at Studio Reiki
Have you ever had the feeling that you're ready to move forward—but something inside you is still holding you back?
Maybe it's an old emotional pattern.
A relationship that changed you.
A belief about yourself that you've carried for years.
A fear that seems bigger than the situation in front of you.
Or perhaps you can't identify what it is at all. You simply know that something feels stuck, and you're ready for something to shift.
This is one of the reasons I was drawn to Integrated Energy Therapy® (IET®).
IET is an energy therapy system developed by Stevan J. Thayer that works with what the IET system describes as limiting energy patterns held within cellular memory and the human energy field. Its philosophy is beautifully summed up in the phrase:
“Get the issues out of your tissues.”
But IET isn't only about letting go of the past.
At its heart, it's about integration—bringing the experiences of your past into the power of your present so that you can become more open to the possibilities of your future.
And that is where IET becomes especially meaningful to me as a practitioner.
Because I don't believe healing is simply about fixing what is wrong.
I believe healing can also be about remembering who you are.
What Is Integrated Energy Therapy®?
Integrated Energy Therapy is an attunement-based energy therapy system developed by Stevan J. Thayer.
IET works with what the system calls the violet angelic energy ray, along with the energy of the Healing Angels of the Energy Field. It also works with the IET concept of 12 Strand Spiritual DNA, with each level of training progressively working with different aspects of that energetic system.
The IET approach is based on the belief that experiences we have throughout our lives can leave energetic patterns behind—patterns that may influence how we feel, think, respond, and move through the world.
The goal isn't to erase your experiences.
Your past is part of your story.
Instead, IET focuses on releasing limiting energetic patterns and replacing them with empowering energy imprints, allowing you to integrate your experiences rather than remain energetically defined by them.
And I love that distinction.
You are not broken.
There is nothing about you that needs to be “fixed.”
Sometimes, you simply need the space and support to release what you no longer need to carry.
What Does “Issues Out of Your Tissues” Mean?
It's a catchy phrase—but there's a deeper idea behind it.
The IET system describes cellular memory as an energetic place where experiences and patterns can become stored.
Think about how your body responds to life.
Your shoulders tighten when you're stressed.
Your stomach knots when you're anxious.
Your heart races when you're afraid.
You can walk into a room and immediately feel uncomfortable without consciously knowing why.
Our experiences don't exist solely in our thoughts. We experience life through our entire being.
IET approaches this from an energetic and spiritual perspective, working with the patterns that the system believes may remain within our cellular memory and energy field.
At the Basic level, IET focuses on physical and emotional energy patterns. Intermediate IET expands into physical, emotional, mental, and karmic energy imprints within the human energy field.
And then Advanced IET takes the journey somewhere different.
Advanced IET: From Releasing to Becoming
As an Advanced Integrated Energy Therapy® practitioner, my work with IET goes beyond simply clearing limiting patterns.
Advanced IET introduces a deeper focus on soul purpose and the energy of your life's mission.
Within the IET system, Advanced-level work focuses on the fourth and fifth pairs of the 12 Strand Spiritual DNA and introduces the concept of the Soul Star, described as the eighth chakra where the plan for your soul's mission is held. Advanced practitioners learn techniques including Soul Star clearing, Heartnet, energy-wave work, and Heartbeams.
Now, I realize that may sound pretty “woo.”
And that's okay.
Studio Reiki is a spiritual space.
But I also want you to feel grounded here.
You don't have to arrive with a perfectly defined idea of what your “soul's mission” is.
You don't need to know your purpose.
You don't need to believe you have everything figured out.
In fact, you can come precisely because you don't.
Sometimes the question isn't:
“What am I supposed to do with my life?”
Sometimes it's:
“What is keeping me from becoming the person I already know I'm meant to be?”
That is a very different question.
And IET gives us a beautiful framework for exploring it.
What Can an IET Session Help You Explore?
IET isn't about predicting your future or telling you what your life is supposed to look like.
Instead, it provides an energetic framework for exploring what may be ready to shift within you.
You might come to a session because you're:
Feeling stuck in an old pattern
Moving through a major life transition
Ready to release something from your past
Struggling with limiting beliefs about yourself
Feeling disconnected from your sense of purpose
Experiencing a sense that you're ready for something more
Wanting to reconnect with your intuition or spiritual self
Beginning a new chapter of your life
Feeling called toward deeper personal or spiritual growth
You don't even have to know exactly what you want to release.
Sometimes your intention can be as simple as:
“I'm ready for whatever I'm ready for.”
That's enough.
What Is an IET Session at Studio Reiki Like?
One of the most important things I want you to know is that you don't have to perform during an energy session.
You don't have to meditate perfectly.
You don't have to visualize.
You don't have to know how to “feel energy.”
You don't have to tell me your entire life story.
And you don't have to arrive knowing exactly what needs to happen.
Your session begins with a conversation.
We'll talk about what you're experiencing, what you're hoping to explore, and anything you'd like to set an intention around.
Then you'll get comfortable, fully clothed, in the peaceful Studio Reiki environment on our table.
From there, I guide you through the IET session using the techniques I've been trained in through the Advanced level of the IET system. Unlike Reiki this is a direct gentle touch on specific areas of the body that will energize, activate, and release suppressed energy from your cellular memory. The final technique in each hand position is integration. A positive empowering state of energy flows into your cellular memory leaving you ready to experience pure joy.
I work with the energetic systems while you simply relax and receive.
All ten techniques involve specific hand positions and integration points. Advanced IET also incorporates techniques designed to work with deeper energetic patterns associated with soul purpose and the Soul Star.
You don't need to make anything happen.
You simply get to be.
The whole process can take around an hour. Dress comfortably. Shoes will need to be removed. A knee pillow and blankets will be on hand for comfort during your session.
What Might You Experience During IET?
This is where I want to encourage you to let go of expectations.
Energy work can be incredibly subtle.
You might experience:
Deep relaxation
Warmth or coolness
Tingling or other physical sensations
Emotional movement
A sense of lightness
Memories or thoughts surfacing
Unexpected insights
A feeling of peace or spaciousness
A sense of connection
Or...nothing particularly noticeable at all
There is no “right” experience.
One person may feel waves of emotion.
Another may feel deeply relaxed.
Someone else may simply get off the table and think, “Wow. I feel lighter.”
And sometimes you don't realize what shifted until days or weeks later.
That's okay too.
Healing doesn't have to be dramatic to be meaningful.
What Happens After an IET Session?
I encourage my clients to give themselves some space after energy work.
You may want to drink water, spend a little time outside, journal, rest, or simply notice what you're feeling.
Sometimes insights continue to unfold after the session and can last up to a week.
You may notice yourself responding differently to something that previously triggered you.
You may recognize a pattern you've never noticed before.
You may feel more connected to a decision you've been struggling with.
Or you may simply feel peaceful.
There is no timeline you need to follow.
Your healing isn't a race.
IET, Reiki & Spiritual Coaching at Studio Reiki
One of the things that makes Studio Reiki unique is that I don't see energy healing as a one-size-fits-all experience.
I am a Reiki Master & Teacher, an Intuitive Energy Healer, a Spiritual Life Coach, and now an Advanced Integrated Energy Therapy® practitioner.
Each modality offers something different.
Reiki can provide a deeply relaxing and restorative energetic experience.
IET offers a structured system for exploring and releasing limiting energetic patterns while moving toward empowerment and, at the Advanced level, deeper connection with soul purpose.
Spiritual coaching can help you take the insights you gain and begin turning them into conscious choices and action in your everyday life.
And all of these approaches beautifully overlap to create powerful healing customized to you. A holistic approach combining multiple modalities in one session.
Because what happens when you release something is only part of the story.
The really interesting question is:
What will you do with the space you've created?
You Don't Have to Become Someone Else
This may be the part of IET that resonates with me most.
I don't believe your healing journey is about becoming some perfectly healed, enlightened version of yourself.
Life is messy.
We have experiences.
We make mistakes.
We love people.
We lose people.
We change.
We grow.
We carry things.
And sometimes we carry them for much longer than we realize.
Healing, to me, isn't about pretending those things never happened.
It's about integrating them.
Learning from them.
Releasing what no longer serves you.
And reclaiming the parts of yourself that may have become buried underneath everything you've been carrying.
You don't need to become someone else.
You get to become more fully yourself.
Are You Ready to Release, Reclaim & Rise?
If you've been feeling a little stuck...
If you're entering a new chapter...
If something inside you keeps whispering that there is more...
Or if you simply feel called to explore a different kind of healing experience—
perhaps it's time to listen.
Integrated Energy Therapy offers a beautiful invitation:
Release what you've been carrying.
Reconnect with the present.
Open yourself to what comes next.
At Studio Reiki, my intention is to create a safe, supportive and judgment-free space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore your own healing journey.
You don't have to know exactly where you're going.
You only have to be willing to take the next step.
Regulate. Reclaim. Rise.
And maybe...
it's time to see what's waiting for you on the other side of what you're ready to release.
