Reiki-What is it?

Mikao Usui

History:
Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is an ancient 2,500-year-old healing technique that was rediscovered in the 1850’s in Kyoto Japan by a Japanese teacher named Mikao Usui. After discovering the healing techniques from the Sankskrit Sutras, Dr. Usui began traveling through Japan teaching and sharing Reiki healing.

How does Reiki works:
A person giving Reiki taps into the limitless energy of the Universe and in effect is a conduit for the flow of healing energy. The energy instinctively goes where it is needed most. Those who give Reiki are simply allowing themselves to be used to give unconditional loving energy.

Reflexology: Benefits and History

Reflexology is the ancient art of stimulating reflex areas that relate to different parts of the body, including organs, muscles and glands.  Working on these reflex points can trigger physiological changes in specific areas of the body by stimulating the circulatory and lymphatic systems.  The benefits of Reflexology include reducing stress and tension, improving circulation, alleviating pain, balancing the nervous system, boosting lymphatic function, improving sleep patterns, increasing energy, relieving digestive issues and detoxifying the body.

In 1917 Dr. William Fitzgerald began studying the effects of “Zone Therapy” where he found that he could relieve pain in other parts of the body by working on corresponding “zones” in the hands and feet. Inspired by Dr. Fitzgerald’s work, Eunice Ingram did further research and discovered that feet were more responsive to pressure than hands. She also created a map of the body with the corresponding reflex points on the foot. In 1973 the first Reflexology Association was started in America and has helped to introduce the practice to many more people.

We offer Reflexology sessions as well as classes open to the general public. Experience the benefits of Reflexology for yourself!
