If you’ve ever been part of a family with history of breast cancer, you feel like a time bomb. As the annual mammogram approaches your stress and anxiety levels increase awaiting the results. If Cancer is detected, the plan for treatment that has been in the back of your mind when the first female in the family got “the news”, kicks in. You know you’ll cry for a while, then gather copious amounts of information to take to your many specialists visits, make decisions and preparations then hop on the Chemotherapy wagon. Sounds negative, but to me it’s reality. My...

As an advanced level Reiki practitioner, I have understood the value of giving and receiving Reiki treatments for a variety of physical, emotional and mental challenges.

Many of these treatments were periodically beneficial, but with each passing year my pain worsened. When I practiced self-healing Reiki, my pain diminished, and I was able to complete my daily routine. However it wasn’t until traveling to New York in November, that I came to the realization that my daily routine had become limited. Our family had taken...
