A Month of Mays : May We Cultivate Inner Peace
Currently, reiki is best known as an alternative to Western medicine, with a focus on physical healing. But in my opinion, that only covers half of what it’s capable of. Reiki is a healing method with a focus on overall health, including mental and spiritual health. In fact, I...
