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!!!
