PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Chapters Bookstore is pleased to welcome Reiki Master Angela Michelle to the event room on Friday July 10, 2009 at 6PM.
What is Reiki, and how can it work for you?
Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality that is increasingly recognized in hospitals around the country, and in western Massachusetts, such as Cooley Dickinson in North Hampton. It is probably the most recognized Complimentary and Alternative Medicine discipline, however most people are not even sure how to say it, let alone know what it is.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) and its benefits will be explained in an informative talk from Usui Reiki Master Teacher Angela Michelle. She will do a demonstration, and cover topics such as:
The Human Energy System
The link between Reiki, Tai Chi, and Yoga
How Complimentary Medicine works to restore balance
The Mind Body Connection
How Reiki strengthens recipients
Learning how to do Reiki
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki Principles and Philosophy

Angela Michelle has been on the Reiki path since 2003. She has grown so passionate about Complimentary Health that her self-created degree at Umass, Amherst combines energy cultivation and movement. She has gone beyond Reiki Master Training to do numerous professional programs in the field, such as Yoga Teacher Training in Conway, MA and Kripalu. She has studied with Doreen Virtue, Ph.D., her son Charles Virtue, and Steven Farmer, Ph.D. It is her greatest pleasure to serve this way, and during this shifting time.
