with Gianna Settin
Please call the Adult Education office to register for this class. 422-4794
Reiki is an energy healing method originated in Japan for the purpose of maintaining healthful flow of Chi, bringing together physical, mental and emotional balance. It is calming, relaxing, and easy to perform on yourself and other beings, including animals and plants. The feeling of this waveform of energy is described in Gendai Reiki Ho as "the energy of love, harmony, and healing that resonates with human consciousness or spiritual awareness.”
In this Certification Course, you are empowered into Reiki (Level One) and learn how to sense, perceive and utilize it using specific hands-on as well as distant methods to reduce stress and pain, speed healing, increase intuition, manifest goals, and stimulate creativity. Reiki meditation and breathing methods are introduced, and detailed instruction into giving and receiving a Reiki session is emphasized. An original 30-page manual is included.
Dr. Gianna Settin lives in Maine with her dog Barnaby. Teaching students of the healing arts for over 35 years, she is a Gendai Reiki Ho Shihan (Master Teacher). As a psychologist, she was drawn to this particular healing modality because of the immediate positive effects of Reiki on mental health and life satisfaction.
