Reiki Class Offered at Winchester Hospital’s Community Health Institute

Woburn, Mass. – Recent popularity of Reiki has prompted Winchester Hospital’s Community Health Institute to offer a class on how to utilize this new healing therapy. The class will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 27 in the Crandall Conference Room (CC2) at Winchester Hospital.
 
Reiki uses specific techniques to balance the natural life force energy in the body. It reduces stress to increase relaxation and avoid energy depletion. The placing of hands is used in this type of healing remedy; however the hands are not placed directly on the patient but rather above and draw out energy as needed.
 
This course teaches the history and philosophy of Reiki. It also teaches the proper hand placements for treatment and allows time for students to practice treating themselves and others.
 
The course cost is $150. Six contact hours will be awarded for those seeking Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this class, students will receive a certificate and will be able to use Reiki to treat themselves as well as others.
 
For more information, or to register for the class, please call the Community Health Institute at 781-756-4700.
