May 5 – Reiki 1 with Karen Kinnard, Reiki Master Teacher – 2-4:30 pm
Participants will finish this workshop with the beginning ability to do reiki. How is reiki different than other energy healing modalities?
Reiki can be performed by anyone with very little training. It unlocks our innate ability to comfort and care for another human being. It does not require belief or technical skill and relies on your own intuition. The energy frequency of Reiki is similar to other healing modalities, except that it does not use or take the energy of the practitioner. A reiki practitioner learns how to maintain boundaries to recognize and disallow other energies from being exchanged between the giver and receiver. Reiki energy is the highest frequency of love. Practitioners experience being filled up, nurtured and cared-for. $125/$100 members email: karen@goodvibrations-yoga.com to register. This will be an offsite class in a private studio.
