In Person: Community Reiki w/Jacqueline

***Note: This Offering only has 2 available slots per offering. Please register at -*** [https://calendly.com/healoneworld/community-reiki-w-jacqueline](https://calendly.com/healoneworld/community-reiki-w-jacqueline) *If you are having difficulty registering, email [admin@healoneworld.org](mailto:admin@healoneworld.org)*. **Class description:** Come in for gentle, non-invasive healing in this 20-minute, lunch-hour Reiki session. I was initiated into Mrs. Takata-style Reiki by New York-based Reiki Master Pamela Miles. Reiki is a form of vibrational medicine - it comes through me as the practitioner, but I don’t direct it. It is deeply relaxing, very similar to a spa-like meditation experience. While you can expect me to hold your head, face and throat area at the beginning, I will hold my hands just above your body for all the other placements. For maximum relaxation you can lie on your back, but if you prefer, you can sit upright in a chair instead. **Teacher Bio:** Jacqueline Delibes is a HeartMath Certified Coach, artist, Reiki healer and healthcare writer for an academic medical center. Her work is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and offered with gratitude and sincerity. *Heal One World is a nonprofit dedicated to providingholistic preventative healthcare services and low or no cost—no one is turnedaway due to lack of funds.
