I always encourage everyone to find a spiritual path that speaks to him or her, and to follow it...

There are peace-building communities available that will stay by us through thick and thin and remind us during the dark times in our lives that there is a God who loves us dearly.

Barbara Thorngren Part of my spiritual health also includes the practice of the healing art of Reiki.

Reiki is a technique of stress reduction, pain reduction, and relaxation,
and I am a Certified Reiki Practitioner.

When I learned about Reiki in 1995 I was very excited and instantly understood the healing potential for my self and others. I had been a nurse for 10 years and during that time I had witnessed many amazing and tragic events. I was very much aware of the power of touch, but in the 1980's the medical community did not validate such care.

Things have changed. Reiki is now an accepted practice in many conventional health care settings, including the hospital.

Because of my experiences with the power of Reiki I have become a Reiki Practitioner.

I use Reiki on myself daily and have offered Reiki classes to children and adults with considerable success.

I have been delighted to see how children and young adults so quickly understand their healing potential with Reiki. As an elementary school teacher, I have taught my students Reiki and have seen how some students with ADHD have successfully handled situations that previously would have been more challenging without the Reiki training.

As part of my Reiki services you can treat yourself to a Reiki session at my house or yours. Or, you can invite me to your house with your friends and learn Reiki as a group peacebuilding event!

Together we can create a Reiki Blessing Way to celebrate a new life, a birthday, a special event, or to celebrate the life of a loved one who has passed away.

My spiritual life includes my church, my community building activities, and my daily use of Reiki on my self and others.

I invite you to join me and experience the joy and positive power that can come into your life through the experience of spiritual health.
