REIKI is a system of subtle energy-healing using laying on of hands and distant healing techniques which originated in 19th Century Japan. By learning to be a Reiki Practitioner or Reiki Master, you will be able to channel this limitless universal energy to assist clients to reduce stress, create relaxation and promote healing. Reiki energy is available to all people, and is transmitted by a unique system of attunements, which open the individual to transmit the energies though the hands.  Reiki is being used in many settings including hospitals, hospice as well as in private practice and in self-care.

 Energy Healing Circles Every Friday evening at 7 to 8 PM ($10 per person)

HSI has reformatted our Healing Circles to combine both Reiki and Therapeutic Touch energies. In doing so, we have found these circles to be much more powerful, creating not only a peaceful, healing environment but one which facilitates fast, concrete changes in the lives of those who attend and receive healing form our certified practitioners. At these Healing Circles, we will channel powerful healing energy into your energy field (aura), your physical body and into your life. Our Healing Practitioners will be giving individual healing sessions using either Therapeutic Touch or Reiki techniques. Patrons now receive 2 to 3 healing sessions to deeply empower their healing requests. We also welcome requests to send distance healing to your friends and loved ones not in attendance. Just let us know and we’ll put them in our Healing Book.

No appointments necessary.  Please arrive by 7 PM with an openness to receive gentle, yet powerful healing energy. Please do not wear cologne or perfume.
