When the chakras are “clear/open” energy flows freely and effortlessly\, allowing for optimal health and vitality in an individual’s life. When the chakras are “clogged/closed” energy cannot flow so easily\, often causing pain\, discomfort\, and disease. \nReiki is not a replacement for medical treatment and does not claim to cure diseases. However\, it is a powerful healing technique that activates the body’s natural ability to clear energetic blockages that are caused by stress and repressed emotional energy. Once the body is free from blockages it can then begin the process of naturally healing itself. \nWhat Are the Benefits of A Reiki Attunement? \n\n\nInduces Deep Relaxation\nReleases Stress and Anxiety\nSupports the Body’s Ability to Heal Itself\nHarmonizes Your Mind\, Body and Spirit\nPromotes Feelings of Peace and Tranquility\n\nHow Do I Prepare For A Reiki Attunement? \n\nWear loose comfortable clothing that is not restrictive in any way.\nEat a light meal and drink plenty of water at least one hour before your session.\nArrive at your session 15 minutes early so you are comfortable and relaxed before your session begins.\nTurn off all electronic devices (phone/computer) so you are not disturbed or distracted during your session.\nPlan a relaxing\, easeful day in nature (if possible) that will support the integration of your Reiki Attunement.\n\nWhat Should I Expect During My Reiki Attunement? \nYour Reiki Attunement will last for 50 minutes. During that time you will lay on a massage table\, fully clothed. First\, face down\, and then\, face up. For the 80-minute Reiki Attunement with Meditation and Conversation you will only be face up. \nYour session will begin with a “sound bath” using tuning forks to harmonize and balance your energy at a cellular level. You then will be led through a guided visualization meditation where you will have the opportunity to focus on your breath\, relax your body and declare your intention for healing during your Reiki Attunement. \nOnce the Reiki Attunement begins you will experience the flow of Universal Life Force Energy – Reiki – in the form of heat. This is usually very relaxing and most people fall asleep! \nWhat Should I Do After My Reiki Attunement? \nAfter your Reiki Attunement please do the following: \n\nCarry your journal and record your experience.\nDrink plenty of water and eat a light meal to assist with grounding your energy.\nGive yourself time to move slowly and integrate your Reiki Attunement experience.\nMinimize your reconnection to your technology (cell phone\, tablet\, computer\, etc.)\nMake a conscious effort to maintain the feelings of Serenity\, Tranquility and Peace you felt during your Reiki Attunement.\n\n \nTreat Yourself To A Reiki AttunementToday!\n \n* All sessions include a PayPal service fee.   \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Summer Special Session Fees\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Reiki Session/50 Minutes: $125 + $5.00 = $130.00 USD\n \n \n Reiki/Med. & Conversation/80 minutes: $145 + $5.00= $150.00 USD\n \n \n Summer Special (New Clients Only) 50 Minutes: 10% OFF = $117.00 USD\n \n \n Summer Special (New Clients Only) 80 minutes: 10% OFF $135.00 USD URL:https://ethoh.org/event/reiki-summer-special-with-reverend-nafisa-2025/ CATEGORIES:Healing Arts,Mind/Body/Spirit,Reiki,Spiritual END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20241218T180000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20241218T210000 DTSTAMP:20260514T164331 CREATED:20240112T104246Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241213T212342Z UID:6532-1734544800-1734555600@ethoh.org SUMMARY:Dancing Into the Light: A Time Of Healing For Our World!
