Reiki Information Event
with Kate Green
Reiki is a Japanese method of energy work that reduces stress, increases relaxation, and promotes healing. It is believed that the free and balanced flow of Ki (energy) through our chakras and meridians is the cause of health. When these channels are blocked, disease and illness occurs. Reiki helps bring the flow of energy back into balance. We will discuss the origins of Reiki, what is involved in an attunement, what a session looks like, setting up treatment space, and answer any questions. Students will learn a Reiki Technique to help remove negative energy.
