- Reiki:
Reiki is a Japanese word for "universal life force energy." It flows through all living things and is transferred through our hands in concentrated form when applied to others or ourselves. It is an ancient healing and meditative art, which aids in rebalancing the physical and energetic body, and can strengthen the body's own natural healing ability.
Reiki is a light touch to no touch therapy. Reiki can enhance medical treatments and does not interfere or conflict in any way with medications, surgery, or other medical procedures. It can be helpful when used prior to and immediately after surgery. Reiki is completely safe at all times. Benefits include: reduced stress and anxiety, increased sense of well-being, accelerated healing, pain relief, strengthening of the immune system, rejuvenation of body and soul, aids in detoxification, physical, emotional, spiritual & mental balancing, reduced side effects of chemotherapy, spiritual growth, lowered blood pressure, increased ability to handle life's challenges with calmness and clarity.
Please call the office to schedule a session. Both 1/2 hour and 1 hour classes are available.Cathy Freschi, Reiki Practicioner
