REIKI II

Reiki is a Japanese technique that treats body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing and can promote healing in a natural and safe way. Its use is not dependent on one’s intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. Reiki is administered by a laying-on or hoovering above of hands. This is a certification class (certificate included, but student must complete the attunement in order to become certified.) Please dress comfortably and bring a pendulum if you have one. $25.00 fee to the instructor for materials.
