Reiki - A sure way to do something about the stress...

Reiki, meaning Spirit Guided Life Force, is a form of energetic healing where the person receiving the treatment is in a comfortable, relaxed posture for the entire time, while the Reiki practitioner does hands on and/or hands off healing work. During the session, you may begin to experience pain relief, upliftment, joy, love, well-being, security, unlimited potential, freedom, creativity, beauty, balance, harmony and other lofty states.

One of the most common and proven benefits of Reiki is stress reduction (which also means a boost to the immune and endocrine systems). Many hospitals and medical centers across the US are now including Reiki with their conventional treatments.

Purely through mind and energy, Reiki integrates the modalities we use in our Yoga, including Kundalini awakening and the Chakras, the Nadis, the microcosmic orbit and Qi Gong.

I am now certified in Reiki and am offering sessions at $55 per session. (Packages available).

For good source of information on Reiki, I recommend these websites http://life-forward.net/page04.html and www.reiki.org and "Essential Reiki, A complete guide to an ancient healing art" book by Diane Stein.
