Reiki for Self Care

Description

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means “Universal Life Energy”. It is a comforting and compassionate touch therapy that originated in Japan and is now practiced world-wide, including in hospitals and hospices. Reiki is suitable for everyone and has only positive side effects. In this class participants will learn, and practice, Reiki hand placements and how to best use Reiki to calm the mind, thereby relieving stress and anxiety and encouraging the body’s healing ability. We will practice a relaxing breathing technique to start and then you will learn how to use Reiki on yourself and incorporate it into your daily life. This will be done while seated. During the practice you will use guided calming imagery to deepen the relaxation. You will leave class feeling lighter and more rested than when we began.
