Reiki, pronounced
"ray key," is a technique for healing
by the laying-on of hands. Reiki has an established track record of reducing stress, relieving pain, and
supporting the healing process for a wide range of problems.
A Reiki
practitioner's hands are placed on the recipient's fully clothed
body in specific, non-invasive patterns, allowing universal life
energy (Reiki) to flow. Reiki works to replenish body
energies, and helps to restore mental clarity and focus.
Practiced
widely in America for over 25 years, Reiki has earned a solid
reputation as an effective complementary health practice.
I have been a Reiki practitioner
since the late 1970s, and a Reiki Master teacher since 1990 through the auspices of Rosemary Cathcart in Nashville, Tennessee.
In the year
2000 I became re-aquainted with my original teacher, John Harvey
Gray, and I had the opportunity to help out editorially as John and his wife, Lourdes Gray, Ph.D. produced
their new
book about Reiki, Hand to Hand: The Longest-Practicing Reiki Master Tells His Story, Through John and Lourdes I learned yet more about Reiki. They added to my training and certification as a Reiki Master teacher in August of 2000.
Over the years it has been my honor to teach Reiki to many hundreds of students in North and Central America. I look forward to meeting new students, and welcome your inquiry.
