Interested in learning how to do energy-based healing for yourself and others?  Sign up now to reserve your place for the following Reiki classes:

• Reiki II – Saturday, April 17, 2010 (12 PM – 6PM)
• Reiki I – Saturday, April 24, 2010 (12 PM – 6 PM)

 The tradition I follow is that of the ”Western” form of Reiki, which was brought from Japan to America by Reiki Master Hawayo Takata in the late 1930’s and passed down by a succession of Reiki Masters.  My Reiki training classes are single-day workshops with plenty of opportunity to practice channeling Reiki to yourself and others.  Along with the necessary Reiki energetic attunements, students will receive all the information, tools and ongoing guidance to practice Reiki with confidence.  I also provide support to my Reiki students by providing them with the opportunity to practice in community with other Reiki practitioners, and maintain contact to answer questions as needed.

All classes will be held at Candler Park Chiropractic in Atlanta.The cost for each of the training classes is $150.  It includes your own copy of Reiki: The Healing Touch First and Second Degree Manual, other Reiki handouts and certificate.  A special student rate of $125 is available for high school or college students.  For more information and to sign up, see my Reiki Classes and Workshops  page.

Another recent clinical study, conducted by doctors at the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, demonstrates that complementary therapies that elicit the relaxation response, which include acupuncture, acupressure, massage therapy, healing touch (such as Reiki), reflexology and others, provided pain relief and reduced discomfort in up to 50% of hospitalized patients. 

Patients who receive complementary therapies may be able to reduce the amount of pain medication they’re taking, as well as cope better with the often strong side effects associated with opioid medications.  In my experience having facilitated Reiki treatments to people in the clinical setting, I have seen patients drift off comfortably to sleep, and they have reported to me that they felt significantly less pain and improved sense of well-being, which is critical to a good recovery. 

If you or someone you know is undergoing a medical procedure, I suggest seeing if the hospital has someone who can provide these complementary therapies through a patient wellness program, or contact someone who is practicing professionally who can make a hospital visit.  Reiki is a good choice, because hands-on contact is very gentle, but it can be done without direct contact if the patient is sensitive to touch following surgery.   However, any of these complementary therapies will provide benefit to the patient, depending on their personal preference.

I will be at Candler Park Chiropractic on Sunday, March 21 from 12-3 p.m. to provide Reiki on a donation-only basis. Participants will receive a 20-25 minute mini Reiki session in a soothing setting with music and aromatherapy.

If you’ve never had energy work done, this is a great opportunity to experience it, while being mindful of your budget. I offer a low-cost Reiki healing clinic in the Atlanta area once a month as part of my mission to make energy healing more accessible and affordable to the public. 

Space for the Reiki clinic is limited. To sign up for a time slot, contact me via email or by phone: 678-640-6146.
