The DOULA CO-OP is hosting Alexis, owner of Natural Vibes Collective, again for another Community Reiki experience. Read more about Alexis on her website.

"What is Reiki?"

Reiki is a non-invasive Japanese light-touch therapy that promotes relaxation, and reduces stress and anxiety. It helps the body heal by removing blocks in the body's energy field, aligning and balancing the body's energy centers, and straightening the body's energy pathways. Reiki is not synonymous with massage due to the fact that it doesn't involve manipulating tissue or applying pressure.

Deep relaxation is common, other sensations are normal and often accompany Reiki sessions. Some of these sensations include:

• Tingling, warmth, cascading waves of pulsations throughout the body, colorful imagery or visualizations in your mind’s eye, feeling “extra” hands on you, etc.

Sometimes you’ll have no sensations and that’s ok too.

This hour and a half will include Alexis doing a short visualization and reiki and leaving some room at the end for experience sharing, questions and connections!

Again, you can imagine this as similar to a yoga class, but instead of movement, you will lie or sit down in a comfy spot and receive energy healing. You can bring yoga mats, blankets, pillows etc - anything you need to be comfy laying down for an hour. Camping chairs work, too! 

Alexis is sharing this nourishing practice with us, and is asking for a small $10-$25 donation via venmo or cash, at the end of the event.
