Originating in Japan, Reiki (Ray-key) is designed to help balance and align the subtle energies of the body aiding in the body’s natural ability to heal itself. You will be invited to a deeply relaxed state as we relieve stress and anxiety through gentle touch and simple breathing and meditation techniques. Reiki is used the world over, including in hospitals and hospices to complement other forms of health treatments and those recovering from injury or surgery. It engages the body’s parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) also known as the “rest and digest” mode–the recover, heal, nourish and restore mode.  Whether or not you have symptoms you wish to alleviate, a Reiki healing session is highly beneficial as part of a regular self-care routine due to the deep relaxation and wellbeing it provides on all levels.  

As a modern society, we have been disconnecting ourselves more and more from nature, no longer interacting with the earth and water elements as our ancestors once did. It is only in recent years that we have begun to realize the impact this is having on our health and wellbeing. When you touch the ground with your bare feet or body, static electricity and extraneous environmental electrical charges are dissipated and beneficial electrons flow into you.  This is called being “grounded” and is essential in restoring and maintaining health. Depending on where you live and what season it is, it’s not always possible to be outdoors grounding. In this relaxing therapeutic session, we use the technology of a grounding mat to receive the restorative and balancing benefits this connection provides.
