GUEST SPEAKER:  Sherry Lynn, Certified Reiki Master

  • ·         Sherry stumbled upon Reiki by helping an wounded animal in need.  Her story is found on her website www.reikipaws.com
  • ·         What does Reiki mean?  Re means “divinely guided light” and Ki means “energy” so Reiki means a spiritual light and energy
  • ·         Sherry also works with Spirit Guides or Angels
  • ·         Sherry finds the more she does it, the more it works
  • ·         Reiki was brought over from Japan in the 1900’s and is a complimentary modality to traditional treatment
  • ·         Sherry briefly touches on the fact that there is a difference between “Healing” and “Cure”  Reiki can heal you but cannot cure you of your disease
  • ·         Reiki can even be done at a distance!  Over the phone, or simply by her focusing on sending healing energy to the person (either at a pre-determined time, or at a time of her choosing).
  • ·         Her work with feral animals has been remarkable, turning feral cats into warm loving pets.
  • ·         Reiki deals with energy blockages of Chakra (which tied in nicely with Nancy’s two presentations)
  • ·         What will someone feel during Reiki?  Some people feel warmth, tingling, chills, may fall asleep, feel calm/peaceful
  • ·         The Roby Chart shows which Chakras are affected by which areas of the body Reiki is performed click the following link for more info on Roby Chart:  http://www.robychart.com/
  • ·         Sherry charges $75/hr and will come to your home for an extra fee
  • ·         Reiki can be performed on the past/present/future to heal old injuries!
  • ·         Sherry referenced Louise Hay, author of the book “You can Heal Your Life” which refers to disease as Dis-Ease
  • ·         There are 3 levels of Reiki, 1st level works in the present.  2nd level learns to work with distance, 3rd level is Master Level and you can teach
  • ·         Regular meditation can ramp up the healing even more!
  • ·         Reiki can be used for anything!  Not just pain, it can be used for FATIGUE!  It can be used for CLARITY!
  • ·         Are you SKEPTICAL?  Sherry says IT WILL STILL WORK!

Five lucky members received a free Reiki treatment lasting 5-10 minutes each!!!
