Nixsa Mills, a licensed school administrator, will give a free lecture, “Energy Healing and Energy Medicine: The How and Why it Works,” Thursday morning, March 19, from 9 to 11 at the South County Center of Berkshire Community College.
The lecture explores the mechanics, current science theories, and evidence that support healing traditions of many ancient cultures: Luminous Healing and Energy Medicine, Macrobiotic Healing, Reiki, Chi and Prana Healing. Mills will discuss some of the current science theories that support energetic healing and examine two healing modalities and how they work. Attendees will participate in hands-on activities to search for evidence of electromagnetic fields and see a demonstration of a selected healing modality currently in use.
Mills, who holds a master’s degree in education, has been an educator for 20 years in both private and public schools. She holds multiple science and administrative certifications at several levels in the state of Massachusetts. She is a graduate of The Four Winds Society’s Healing the Light Body School, with certification to practice Luminous Healing and Energy Medicine. She has also worked in social service programs, and has experience in community organizations and private business management.
