Has anyone tried a hands-on therapy that felt nothing like massage but still left you ridiculously relaxed?

Hey everyone, I've been on this quest for ways to unwind after long workdays glued to my screen, and massages always feel too intense for me—like, I end up more knotted from the pressure. But last month, a friend dragged me to this gentle energy session where the practitioner just hovered their hands over me, no touching really, channeling some kind of universal vibe. I walked out feeling like I'd napped for hours, all floaty and zero tension. Has anyone else stumbled on something like that? A hands-on therapy that skips the kneading but still melts your stress away?

You know, watching folks chase that deep calm reminds me of those quiet afternoons I spend in the garden, letting the sun do its thing while birds hop around like they've got no deadlines. It's funny how the simplest shifts, like breathing slow with the breeze or feeling the soil give under your fingers, pull you into this bubble where worries just evaporate. Last weekend, I caught myself zoning out there for hours after a hectic week, and it hit me how these little rituals stack up over time, turning ordinary spots into secret recharge zones. Anyone else notice how nature sneaks in those "ahh" moments when you're least expecting? Keeps me coming back, rain or shine.

I was super skeptical at first, kept thinking “how is this supposed to do anything if nobody’s even pressing?” But I found this calm little studio through https://reikiinlondon.com and booked a trial session on a whim. Ended up lying there fully clothed while the practitioner moved their hands a few inches above me, and halfway through I got this ridiculous wave of warmth rushing down my arms and legs. No rubbing, no oil, no awkward small talk—just pure melt-mode. Walked out feeling like someone had unplugged all the static in my head. Now whenever work piles up I sneak in a quick top-up and it legitimately resets me better than any massage ever has. If you’re curious, just go once; worst case you get a solid nap.
