Amy Slaton isn’t a big fan of Reiki healing.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive clip from the upcoming episode of 1000-Lb. SistersAmy and Tammy Slaton attend their first healing session together. Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that aims to balance energy flow. Practitioners place their hands on or hovering over the body, transferring healing energy.
“Reiki’s a Japanese form of energy healing. Sometimes people see things or hear things or feel things,” the practitioner explained to the sisters.
“Meaning I might fart,” Amy whispered to Tammy, who said with a laugh, “I started saying I was thinking that the whole time he was talking!”
Despite cracking jokes, Tammy admitted that she hopes the session will help Amy, who is feeling overwhelmed since their older sister Amanda moved into her house. “If Amy will allow this Reiki session to work on her, like accept it all and not just let out a fart, then everything will be great. Nobody dies today,” Tammy said.
“I’m going in here skeptical as f—,” Amy shared. “But I’m still hoping that it’ll give me a sense of peace because with everything going on at my house, I’m very stressed out.”

Amy has her session first, laying on the table and closing her eyes as Tammy sits nearby to watch.
“Deep breath in,” the practitioner began, hovering his hands over her face and body. “And imagine for a minute breathing in a nice, clean, fresh new energy. And then breathe that energy into your heart. Just relax.”
Amy then starts snoring, falling asleep on the table.
“Typical Amy to get on the table and immediately fall asleep,” Tammy said in a confessional. “She can fall asleep at a drop of a pen. If nothing else, she’s going to get a nice nap.”
After the session, the practitioner woke Amy up. Tammy asked her sister how she’s feeling after the energy healing.
“I feel the same,” she replied.
The next episode of 1000-Lb. Sisters airs Tuesday, April 22 at 9pm ET/PT on TLC.
