REIKI FOR SELF HEALING

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a relaxation technique of Japanese origin. It is accomplished through gentle touch, or with the practitioner’s hands slightly above the body. A warm and soothing energy flows from the hands of the practitioner into the recipient, releasing tension, creating relaxation, and facilitating healing. Treatment with Reiki benefits children and adults suffering from chronic conditions, those undergoing medical procedures such as surgery or chemotherapy, as well as anyone who wishes to improve or maintain good health. Completion of this class will enable the student to treat him/herself and family members with Reiki. It is not meant for those who wish to become Reiki practitioners.
