  Engage in the ancient Japanese relaxation technique of reiki (pronounced “ray-key”). During the session, the practioner places hands on or above the energy centers in a client’s body. The client is either seated in a chair or lying fully clothed on a massage table. Reiki works to complement conventional medical and therapeutic techniques and has been found by many to be an excellent complementary approach for balancing mind, body, and spirit.Schedule a 20-minute session for this monthly open Reiki session. Reiki at Wellness House is provided in partnership with Annapolis Reiki, which provides individual 50-minute reiki sessions, classes, and reiki shares. Anyone can learn reiki as a valuable self-care practice.For more information about reiki, upcoming classes, or reiki shares, call or e-mail Pat Clarke to request a copy of the Annapolis Reiki newsletter: 410-268-2524 or pat@annapolisreiki.com.
