Heal Yourself with Reiki

Reiki will not interfere with any medical treatment you are receiving. In fact, you will find self-healing with Reiki is a wonderful addition to medical care. It can decrease stress often times associated with chronic or acute medical conditions. This will support the mind and body to heal while enlivening the spirit to feel whole again.

If you are feeling anxious, you will feel calmer. When you calm the nervous system, your mind and body will relax. This creates a chain of events to help bring you back into balance. It will calm your nerves before a big test or public speaking. Stuck in traffic, a few moments of Reiki will help you to be in a more grounded place when you finally reach your destination. Just five or ten minutes of Reiki a day will help you to move into your day feeling centered, at peace and energized.

Heal Yourself with Reiki: Parent/Child

This three hour interactive workshop is for parent(s), guardian(s) and child(ren) who are interested in keeping the calm in their lives with the people they care most about. Reiki is a natural and safe method of spiritual self-improvement, that restores emotional, physical and mental balance to our bodies, minds and souls, it stimulates the immune system and our own natural healing abilities.

Learning how to perform self-reiki will help to relieve stress and anxiety and help with personal growth and development, such as learning difficulties, temper tantrums, unexplained fears, sleep problems, injuries and any pain they may be experiencing. Trauma from loss, a move, abuse or depression or behavioral problems then Reiki can help.

Reiki helps children to transition through the stages of life, through puberty, adolescence, into adulthood as it reduces stress, anxiety and fears. As reiki relieves stress, it is a good idea to either perform self-reiki prior to any tests or exams to calm, ground and balance the child, to reduce fear and worry. Likewise for the parent or guardian, performing self-reiki before a job interview, talking before a small or large group, or a full day with the daily responsibilities of being a parent or guardian will be extremely beneficial.

For the aging parent and adult child or caregiver, the aging process of a loved one can be quite stressful, especially during healthcare challenges. Self-healing with Reiki will help the adult child, caregiver and senior find the calm, peace and love during these stressful moments.

The adult child too may be going through their own aging process and the healing energies of Reiki will provide both parent and child with:
• Better sleep,
• Deep relaxation and aids the body to release stress and tension,
• Increase healing from injuries and surgery,
• Ease breathing,

Class Length: Three Hours

Zen Baby Practice for mommy, daddy and baby-to-be!

Reiki is an energy therapy that works with the body’s own remarkable healing capabilities. It helps to promote and accelerate the natural healing process and restore balance on all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Self-healing with Reiki can be done safely for pregnant women. It does not cause any harm to the mother or her unborn baby, therefore making it safe to be used not only during all stages of pregnancy, but also from conception right through to childbirth.

The body and mind of an expectant mother go through a lot of changes during pregnancy. The energy balance in her body and mind (emotional balance) is under constant pressure, potentially weakening her physically and emotionally. Self healing with Reiki during pregnancy can help balance her energy and clear her body, mind and spirit. This can help her relax deeply and enable her to react quickly to all body and lifestyle changes with ease. Reiki can be highly beneficial in helping her pregnancy to develop in a stable, balanced and natural manner.

Seek a doctor's attention if you notice anything unusual or feel out of the ordinary. Reiki is great to be used in conjunction with midwives and any other professional in your birthing team.

Benefits of Zen Baby Practice

Creates a balanced, loving and harmonious relationship between the mother, father and baby.
When practiced in the early days of pregnancy, Reiki helps reduce exhaustion and nausea in the pregnant woman.
When used during the labor stage, Reiki has been shown to help control and lessen pain.
Mothers and fathers who use Reiki during and after pregnancy can better adjust to their babies and vice versa.
Mothers who have had previous c-sections and receive Reiki in later pregnancies can expect lesser need for cesarean surgeries the second time.

When Reiki is used in the delivery room, it makes for an easier transition for the baby.
Reiki also helps to release the fears related to pregnancy and delivery. It soothes a woman who can feel invaded and impatient to give birth.
Reiki provides a unique opportunity for the father-to-be, as he can bond with his baby when it is in the mother's womb.
Reiki has the power to make a baby wriggle with pleasure in the woman and has a calming effect on both the mother and the child.
Helps in building a strong spiritual relationship.

Micro-Memoirs Circle II is a place you can bring your micro-memoirs (up to 750 words) and get educated, quality feedback. You can also bring your questions about the genre or ask Lorraine and the group to help you brainstorm a longer work, such as a magazine-length piece or a book. Your colleagues in the circle, who have all taken a micro-memoirs workshop with Lorraine, help you stay productive. Together, you will become a community that supports each other’s work before and after publication. Lorraine often shares book industry news items, tips, and opportunities in the sessions. You can expect a friendly atmosphere and astute commentary. When the series is over, you will have produced a body of written, polished work you can proudly submit. At that point a new five-month series will begin.
