Reiki
Reiki IS a Complementary Therapy
Balancing 4 Life offers the style of Reiki called, “Jikiden Reiki” which is the traditional, pure intuitive form of Reiki from Japan. This original, unaltered healing system created by Mikao Usui in the 1920’s supports your physical, emotional mental and spiritual health and well-being. As a drug-free, non-invasive healing method, Reiki can be used without any contraindications. The goal of Reiki is to restore harmony in the body. Reiki is excellent for the reduction of stress, pain, inflammation and will lessen side-effects associated with pharmacological interventions. Use Reiki as a complement to traditional western medicine protocols for better health and emotional/mental well-being.
“When you placed your hands on my heart, I felt love.”

“Everything that exists in the Universe possesses Reiki.”
~ Mikao Usui, founder of Reiki

Stress Effects Children, too!
Today’s world is more stressful than ever! Many kids are overwhelmed by competition for grades, have experienced emotional abuse via cyber-bullying, pressures from standardized state testing, applying to college and may have trouble managing their time in this over-scheduled busy world. As a school occupational therapist, I witnessed first hand the effect stress has on kids.
Energy Healing offers real relief for kids suffering from depression, anxiety, migraine headaches and insomnia. Children enjoy the balancing benefits of Reiki to help them combat the daily stresses of their environment whether elementary, secondary or college. Reiki calms as it balances the left and right hemispheres and facilitates integration for children with special needs.
