“Reiki (pronounced Ray Key),” translated from Japanese, means “universal life force energy.” It is a natural system of healing that uses energy which is all around and through everyone and everything; some call this energy the God force or life force. Reiki works very well with traditional medicine as it enhances the positive effects of the healing process and reduces the time required to heal after operations and other invasive procedures. It works on many levels: mental, emotional and physical, as well as promotes spiritual growth. Reiki opens the heart to love because the healing energy is love energy; they are one in the same.
Instructor: Carla Pohlua
