In our world, we experience and feel the weight of collective energy. The global and daily stressors of life surround each of us. Group Reiki is an opportunity to gather in the sacred space of the community to receive energetic healing and restoration to help find our individual and collective understanding of our lives.

These sessions are perfect for anyone interested in experiencing Holy Fire® Reiki energy healing. Each session begins with a guided experience, and each person will receive a mini Reiki energy healing treatment. Afterward, participants are invited to share their experiences and ask questions.

This group Reiki offering is led by Veronica Guevara-Lovgren @tresositosyoga. Veronica teaches and shares Reiki with people and animals.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique for relaxation and stress reduction that can help open up the ability to heal ourselves naturally. We are all made up of energy, and terms like chi, ki, or prana might sound familiar, and our ways to describe our life force energy. This life force energy flows through the vessels of all living beings. When our life force energy is blocked, we might experience physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Reiki is a way to address these blocks to support our well-being and bring us back into balance. The healing experience is hands-on or hands-off (hovering) and can be experienced in-person or online.

However, Reiki is also a spiritual path and practice that brings us back home to the true self and loving self. It helps us move away from the limiting culturally-created self and into the extraordinary authentic self. This self reflects our beautiful and loving inner nature.

How to experience: While Reiki is known as a hands-on practice, participants who do not want touch can receive treatment hands-off (hovering). While some students might be seated for the experience, most prefer to lie down.

What to bring: Dress comfortably and in layers for sitting and a little mindful movement. If you like, have paper and a pen available to document your experience. Yoga mats and blankets will be provided, but feel free to bring your own.
