WHAT IS REIKI?

When applied physically through a reputable REIKI Practitioner, it will balance the mind, body, & spirit.  It will help to rebuild muscles, nerves, bone structures, and regenerative organs of the body. All that is required is a receptive attitude from the client.  With willingness to be open to healing; an emotional , spiritual, physical, and mental cleansing occurs.

Reiki is not intended to replace medical knowledge, but to accompany and support  it.

A  REINFORCING EFFECT

REIKI is used to treat the whole body to achieve relaxation.  It facilitates the removal of  blockages in energy flow and the dispersal of toxins.  REIKI will restore the general condition of the body.  The energy channels are opened to allow the body to deal properly and naturally with both stress and build-up of toxins.  It will help you to cope with anxiety and depression. REIKI is also useful when you are recovering from an illness.  Reiki will provide theadditional energy required to recover.

REDUCTION OF SIDE EFFECTS

REIKI helps the body in the recovery after drug therapy, after surgery and after chemo-therapy.  In all these cases, REIKI therapy supplies the body with extra life energy, enabling the body to bounce back more quickly from the burdens of surgery and chemicals.

In some cases, use of REIKI therapy after an operation will lessen pain.  It will accelerate the natural healing processes.  The key to success is that the therapy be undertaken on a regular basis.

WHAT WILL I EXPERIENCE IN A SESSION?

The treatment is done on a massage table.  The practitioner’s hands are placed gently on the client.  The client remains fully clothed except for shoes.  There is no pressure on the body.  Soft music is usually played during the treatment.  The REIKI energy first enters the practitioners body and out the hands, then to the client.  The practitioner finishes the REIKI session feeling as invigorated as the client.  An average REIKI treatments lasts one hour.

HOW WILL I  FEEL AFTER A SESSION?

• An increase in vitality
• Lighter
• Relaxed
• Mentally more clear & focused
• Reduced pain & stress
• A release of sadness (blocks) and then experiencing inner peace

Wow, with all of these great positive emotions and physical feelings it is worth giving it a try.  Call today at 920-730-3799 if you have any further questions or would like to book a Reiki Session with Sandy.

Recently, I attended a retreat on Organic Leadership.  My first thought was, here at Grassroots, we try to implement eco-friendly business practices, so I wondered what more I could learn?  Through discovery I began to realize that Leading Organically meant to live your business like nature lives hers.  After playing with this concept for awhile I began to see the similarities:

Nature is a gentle, gradual enfolding-just like how a seed turns into a beautiful flower.

Even my detailed business plan and financial projections did not prepare me for the “true success” of how Grassroots has enfolded, flourished, blossomed.  The joy, appreciation, gratitude, and sense of community are a few of the glorious gifts that I have received during this business venture.

In nature several plants need the existence and certain make-up of other plants to survive.

Our garden consist of:  14 creative, inspiring Stylist, a talented and compassionate Manicurist/Reiki Practitioner  and devoted, friendly desk staff who are all a major part of the core of Grassroots.  And then there is “YOU” our loyal clients, our Grassroots Family.  Without these wonderful people Grassroots would have not grown to where it is today.

One of Life’s Unstoppable Forces is the need to establish relationships and to connect with one another.

With the help and support of Mandala Life Media, our website was evolved. This has been an amazing tool for us to share our story and provide us the opportunity to get to know  ”YOU” on a more personal level. It has been great to see what you are involved in and what brings you joy outside of your time with us at the salon.

I also enjoy seeing the blog post from my team members as they unleash their creativity and how significant they play a part in the brilliance of Grassroots.

Plants, Animals, People, Spirit-We are all interconnected.

At the end of the  retreat we had to write a poem to express how we think we have shifted in becoming  an Organic Leader. By all means, I am not a writer or poet. This definitely posed a challenge for me; and by sharing it here is even “more out of my box” than usual.  This poem is a representation of my interconnections to my team members and to my clients, who I stand behind while they are seated in my styling chair.

An Organic Haircut

I have always listened.  C’mon I know you.  You don’t like to see a lot of red, don’t take no more than an inch off, not a lot of product.

Now I listen wholeheartedly, fully present.  With a set of ears that are not my own. I hear your joy, your pain.  I learn your hearts desires and what makes your heart ache. I feel you, see you, see through you.

The inner beauty that lies within- I now know “YOU”.

Now the usual.  Turn the chair around; take a look in the mirror.  ”Do you like what you see”?

With my new set of eyes I look at the reflection of the two of us.  I look closer. Still closer.  Our images become “ONE”.  NOW  I can see…

I am in “YOU” and “YOU” are in “Me”!

Here is wishing you an Organic Holiday Season. Enjoy your connections with family, friends and loved ones.  We look forward to servicing you into the year 2010, ORGANICALLY- creating relationships and conditions for new seeds to grow.

Happy Holidays! From: ME-Tracey Drews-Owner/Stylist
