REIKI ENERGY CLEARINGS
Reiki is another word for life force, chi, ki, prana or shakti. In a reiki clearing session, clear energy is directed into the subtle body. The subtle body energy carries with it emotions, memory and thought forms, of which are also freed in the pure flow of Grace. A reiki session is a deep cleanse to first read the chakra system you are currently operating under and redirect it into an optimal Source of light, back into the central channel. It is a time to confront deep issues one is working on as the session is very intimate. One can also opt to receive counseling or any guidance about perceiving energy within and around you in the life force that we all share. It is helpful to know what you are currently operating under in your own energy field if certain modes of consciousness or aspects of your life are feeling stuck or deeply imprinted. There are also a few reiki practices and visualizations one can learn to maintain clear energy, clean house, or feel strong in your force field when dealing with challenging issues where it feels your energy could potentially get thrown off center. This will help to keep you bright & operating at a high frequency.

A reiki session is very different from a massage session as it is not hands on. It does not manipulate the muscular system in any way and is very subtle in it’s clearing. One should leave after feeling a new sense of potential, old thought forms and emotions released, and energized in a very clear, pure way. Michelle is a Reiki Level III Master and has been practicing Reiki regularly since 2004.

THAI YOGA THERAPEUTICS
An elegant Ayurvedic Style of Receiving Gentle Yoga and bodywork. Based on the Nuad Boran Thai Technique of the Vedas, this is an Ayurvedic style of “receiving” yoga. The recipient, lying down, receives yoga positions and a unique form of Thai bodywork. This consists of following and clearing the “Sen” lines, or nadis, in a rhythmic manner for the release of pressure points, called “marmas”. The therapist uses all parts of their body for the rhythmic stretching, through pressing and compressing by use of their feet, hands, palms, arms, knees, legs. Gentle pressure is given from head to toe, freeing all the systems of the body, including the lymphatic system, detoxifying, and softening tense muscles and mental blocks. It frees inertia, emotional stress, and tranquilizes the entire body by creating a harmonious symbiotic communication integrating all of the bodies systems. A yoga practitioner will recognize many of the poses, known as asana, all gentle and done in repetition for efficacy, as well as the breathing techniques implemented, known as pranayama. Revered as a medical folk art for it’s dignity and sophistication from India and Thailand, it is similar to having yoga done on you while getting a full body massage at the same time; the equivalent to heaven, Samadhi.
