Reiki, Rest & Relax: Tools to Thrive
Join us for a nourishing small group gathering with certified Reiki master, Amy Pelsinsky. Amy discovered Reiki in 2004 when struggling with her own health challenge and has been sharing it with others ever since! She will gently introduce us to the healing art of Reiki and its benefits, offer a taste of Reiki to each participant, and empower us with tools to handle stress and thrive on our own. Rooted in the Japanese tradition of energy work, Reiki uses gentle hand movements with light or no touch, to guide energy within a person’s body to encourage self-healing. Reiki helps shift your body’s stress response from its “fight-or-flight” state to a more restful state, kind of like a deep meditation or a heart-felt prayer. It is especially good at helping when we feel overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious. Together, we will:
• Explore what Reiki is, how it works, and how it can support healing of body, mind and spirit. • Participate in a guided meditation to calm ourselves and kick-start some healing vibes. • Receive a short, individual experience of Reiki. • Learn simple self-care techniques you can use at home to handle anxiety and stress.
All are welcome. No prior experience with Reiki or meditation is necessary. Whether you're simply curious or looking for support in a challenging season, this gentle experience offers space to restore, relax, and thrive.
