New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
When I received my first Reiki treatment over a decade ago, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was in a state of anxiety fueled by a stressful job along with chronic belly pain, for which the doctors had yet to determine a root cause. I was open to the experience of energy healing. Still, I must admit, my expectations were pretty low. The Reiki healer who gave me my first Reiki healing session (and eventually became my first Reiki teacher) explained the basics of how Reiki healing worked.

Magically, this is an ideal time for plumbing our inner depths and shadow realms and releasing stubborn patterns hindering our growth. Adding Reiki to the mix helps us maintain self-love and compassion in the face of potentially challenging material.
