Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. It is based on the belief that a “universal life force energy” — called “ki” in Japan, “chi” in China, or “prana” in India — flows through all living beings. Practitioners believe that when this energy is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to physical or emotional distress.
A typical session involves the recipient lying fully clothed on a table while the practitioner lightly places their hands on or just above the body in various positions. The practitioner acts as a “conduit” to channel universal energy to the recipient, aiming to clear blockages, restore balance, promote relaxation and activate the body’s natural healing abilities.
While not a substitute for conventional medical care, Reiki is frequently used as a complementary therapy in hospitals and wellness centers, including the Cleveland Clinic. Reported benefits include stress and anxiety reduction, pain management and overall improved wellbeing.
Reiki treatment includes a 45-min. and 60-min option for $65 and $85, respectively. Click on the “Book Now” tab to book your treatment and call/text Cassandra Shofar at 440-382-0188 or email cshofar@gmail.com for scheduling options.
Therapeutic Yoga/Reiki Restructuring
WHAT: Therapeutic Yoga, also called Chakra Yoga, is a type of yoga that is done one-on-one with a client who is working on balance chakras and/or unblocking chakras and getting to the root of the blockages.
What are Chakras?
We have 72,000 nadis, or energy pathways, throughout our bodies. Chakras are the concentrated areas of this energy.
There are seven main Chakras that run from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each of them impacts various glands, organs, muscles and systems of the body. Sometimes, these energies become blocked — from stress, emotional baggage, past traumas, unhealthy lifestyles or environments, etc.
The good news is, there are many ways to clear blockages in the Chakras. One of these is through Chakra Yoga and Reiki Restructuring.
One-hour sessions include:
- An energy assessment
- An explanation of the particular Chakra being focused on, questions for client
- Restorative yoga poses targeting a specific Chakra
- Reiki, with an emphasis over the blocked area(s)
- A deep, guided meditation that delves into the past to locate the root of a particular blockage, help release it and replace it with positive energy, affirmations and intentions.
COST: $85 per 60-min session or a discounted package rate of $375 for 5 sessions
WHERE: Sessions also offered at The Healing Choice in Wickliffe by appointment. In-home appointments available upon request.
Mediumship/Psychic Readings
