Reiki and Seichem Healing Energy Training Reiki and Seichem are frequencies of healing energy that are abundant in the surrounding environment. Reiki and Seichem practitioners are taught how to work with this energy by channeling it through their hands to promote healing and well-being within themselves and others. Reiki is now offered in over 200 hospitals around the country and is now being offered as part of Crozer Chester's Home Hospice Services. The following are from the personal case histories of people who do this type of energy work: -The healing energy was given to someone suffering from leukemia who is now making a fantastic recovery and is officially in remission. -The healing energy was given to someone who had been hit by a car and was on heavy medication. The energy seemed to instantly bring this person back to full conciousness and did it with such speed that it actually made the practitioner jump back. -Every type of headache including migraines have been banished in a matter of minutes. Someone who had been to the doctor, was taking medication and had a migraine for about a week was cured in just under 3 minutes. -Someone who had just injured her knee was given the energy and was fine after about 5 minutes. The man who "rediscovered" this healing energy system was so successful with his efforts that he opened up a clinic. Here is what participants learn during the introductory course: -History of healing energy system -Personal case histories of practitioners -The energy system of the human body and how it closely works with the healing energy -Effects of healing energy on the human body -Odd but very interesting uses for healing energy -Proper hand positions for greater effect -The three simple "keys" to activate the healing energy -Positions for giving yourself healing energy -Positions for giving healing energy to others To learn more about this amazing energy or to sign up for upcoming classes, please call the studio phone number, 610-543-0544.

I enjoyed your class immensely, you created an inviting yet nurturing atmosphere where learning could just take off on it's own."- Susan Hart, CMT "I know it (the class) was a good gift and I thank you for it.
