Lemons to Lemonade

Welcome back!

I have this new found interest in relaxing, meditating and an appreciation for my own spiritual health so I had my very first Reiki session yesterday.  This was performed by my good friend and Massage Therapist Angela Dorenzo.

I had never even heard of Reiki until recently.   I had no idea what to expect, but I was certainly curious and anxious to have one.

Reiki is a holistic healing art for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things.

Let me tell you about the setting for the session.    Angie’s room was definitely a relaxation oasis with soothing, sound healing music, a trickling waterfall and an essential oil blend diffusing throughout.   I wish I would have thought to have Angie take a pic of me on the table.

I thought that I would not be able to relax enough because I am very tense.  Sometimes I don’t even know how tightened up I am until I start hurting.

As Angie begins the session with a guided meditation, I am hoping relaxation sets in.  I soon realize that my muscles are starting relax because I can actually feel them move.  At one point I felt pressure in the back of my head because I must have relaxed so much that I was sinking into the table!

I never felt any warming sensation but I did feel a cold tingling.

I felt like I needed a nap when it was done, but as I was driving home my body felt like I had just had a massage!  The rest of the day and today I feel so energetic and positive.

I imagine that Reiki effects every individual differently.  I guess you’ll just have to try it for yourself.

Call Angie she is working out of locations in Southgate and Newport Michigan.
