Reiki & Restore (Kailua)
Reiki is a non intrusive and holistic healing technique that channels and unblocks energy within the physical and emotional body. Originating from Japan, Reiki has been used to support healing physical pain, emotional traumas, stuck energy as well as promote feelings of kindness, love, acceptance and spiritual growth. By allowing the students to rest in a meditative state, Reiki can help unblock any stuck energy in the Chakras, release stress and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. We will begin this session with light breath work, followed by a restorative yoga practice to burn off any excess energy and help prepare the body for rest. After the short flow, students will lay for the remainder of class in a comfortable meditative supine position, where the reiki practitioner will work both hands off and hand on, with each individual student to transfer reiki healing energy.
