Introduction to Reiki

Discover the Healing Power of Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that supports physical, emotional, and mental balance. In this introductory class, you will learn foundational techniques for self-care, stress reduction, and deep relaxation. The word Rei means “Universal life” and Ki means “energy”—so Reiki literally translates to Universal Life Force Energy.
A Path to Self-Discovery and Healing
For many, Reiki becomes more than just a wellness practice. It can be a spiritual journey, helping individuals connect more deeply with universal energy and themselves. Taking this class can expand your spiritual practice and offer valuable insights into your emotional and energetic well-being.
During this workshop, you’ll explore the basics of energy work and consider whether you’d like to pursue further training. This session is perfect for those curious about energy healing and interested in supporting their own health.
If you’re looking for one-on-one guidance, Melissa is also available for private lessons. You can contact her directly at melissamactaggart@nullsbcglobal.net.
