Sign up for a 15-minute Reiki session with certified a Reiki master as you experience healing in your whole body by the gentle placement of the practitioner’s hands above or lightly on the receiver’s body. Reiki is a healing practice that helps to bring your energetic body into alignment. Humans have two body forms. One is our physical body supported by our spine, bones, and organs. We also have an energetic body with a central column that runs along our spine called a Sushumna. This is where the seven main Chakras live as well as the Nadis, which are channels that bring energy out to the rest of our body. Both can become out of alignment. When your energetic body is unaligned, you visit a Reiki Practitioner. Sponsored by the CWB.
