As retirees, many of us face health concerns of all kinds: recovering from surgery, dealing with side effects of chemo or radiation therapy, coping with chronic pain, suffering with various illnesses, or emotional distress. These are only a few of the senior possibilities.
Reiki (a Japanese word, pronounced Ray-Key), offers simple, non-invasive, soothing energy as an aid in dealing with these, and other, conditions. Reiki is a system of hands-on healing that anyone can do for themselves, as well as for others, including pets!
Healing through the hands has been practiced down through the ages by all cultures. It is a natural human potential. Most of us have never utilized our capacity to assist our body’s healing process by applying the healing-balancing energy we are capable of accessing.
You can learn how to allow this universal healing energy to flow through your own hands. And you can utilize it for your own body-mind-soul, and also for helping others. There is a Reiki Level One Class in hands-on healing scheduled for Oct. 15, 16, 17 and 18, from 9 a.m. to noon, each day. Class fee is $300, 12 hours of instruction and practice time. A student notebook is included. Class will be held at my home in Palo Verde.
You are welcome to experience what a Reiki treatment feels like by coming to the Reiki Circle on any Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in Room A2 in the Cottonwood courtyard. No fee; all are welcome.
You can also receive a brief five-minute hands-on treatment at the Sun Lakes Community Day Open House on Saturday, Oct. 3, in the Cottonwood Club House. Reiki practitioners will be available to give a demonstration of Reiki healing.
For additional information, contact Reiki Master Catharina (Rina) Cupples at 480-883-7747. My dad practiced hands-on healing for my brother and me when we were children. So l grew up knowing that healing is a natural potential. I took Reiki One training in 1984, and have been practicing ever since; received Master level training in 1994, and have been teaching for 32 years. I look forward to speaking with you.
