Prenuptial Jitters?

Reiki can be just the thing for brides and grooms in those busy weeks before their wedding. The hands-on therapy promotes relaxation and balance – both of body and mind. This affordable treatment can even be more relaxing than massage…a quiet 75 minutes, without any manipulation of muscles and the risk of soreness. I encourage couples to consider this healing therapy to ease the stress of preparing for a wedding…a welcome relief for long days and restless nights of sleep. Ask your Reiki practitioner about gift certificates for the bride and groom – and gift them with an early present they’ll really appreciate!

Brown Bag Lunch Wellness Presentation

Kerrville's The Center for Fitness is pleased to continue this summer its popular series of Brown Bag Lunches featuring local physicians and health service providers. At the June 8 noon event, Reiki Master Anne Schneider will share information and demonstrations. Reiki is a hands-on, non-invasive therapy that stimulates the immune system and catalyzes the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Over 60 hospitals and clinics in the U.S. utilize Reiki in their patient programs. Reiki is especially effective with pain relief – helping medication work more effectively, as well as relieving pain in its own way. Additionally, Reiki reduces the emotional stress of dealing with a chronic or degenerative disease. There is no fee for the presentation and it is open the public. To reserve a seat, contact The Center for Fitness at 830-257-7070. Appointments at The CFF are available for private 75-minute Reiki sessions with Schneider; please contact her directly at 739-5828 to schedule an appointment.

Great Reiki News!

Did you know that the Veterans Administration nationwide has a model for the use of “alternative therapies” in veterans’ programs? In consideration of their Plane Tree Model, the Kerrville, TX, Veterans Administration has approved Reiki I training with Reiki Master Anne Schneider for its VA staff members. The first two staff members from the Kerrville VA attended their training at Anne’s March 2011 workshop and now are sharing their practice of Reiki’s healing energy with Kerrville veterans. We salute the VA for its recognition of the value of Reiki and for its funding of training for staff members.
