Over the past two decades, a number of studies have shown that Reiki treatments help diminish the negative side effects of chemotherapy, improve surgical outcomes, regulate the autonomic nervous system, and dramatically alter people’s experience of physical and emotional pain associated with illness. But no conclusive, peer-reviewed study has explained its mechanisms, much less confirmed the existence of a healing energy that passes between bodies on command. Nevertheless, Reiki treatment, training, and education are now available at many esteemed hospitals in the United States, including Memorial Sloan Kettering, Cleveland Clinic, New York Presbyterian, the Yale Cancer Center, the Mayo Clinic, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

The energy therapy is now available in many hospitals. What its ascendance says about shifts in how American patients and doctors think about health care.

🌀☯️✨♾️💫💚🔆SOLSTICE 🔆💚💫♾️✨🕉🌀

On June 21st, we experience the Solstice which brings the longest day of the year and the start of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and the shortest day of the year and the start of Winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

Leading up to the Solstice, and as the Solstice peaks, Mother Nature is aBuzz with energy. All plant life, all animals, and even our bodies respond to the increased or decreased sunlight.

🌞🌀In the Northern Hemisphere, where we are experiencing the longest day of the year, nature is at its peak. The Sun invigorates, stimulates, and has us focused on our external world.

🌍 🌀In the Southern Hemisphere, where we experience the shortest day of the year, nature is at its quietest. The increased hours of dark draw us within and allow us to focus on our internal environment.

The bright Sun and the dark night both influence our pineal gland, which is known as the seat of consciousness or as the seat of our soul. When the Sun is bright, our pineal gland supports the flow of our life force. When the dark night falls, the pineal gland helps to awaken our dream state, sparking our imagination, clairvoyant gifts, and out-of-body experiences. 👁

All of nature responds to the increase or decrease of daylight that occurs on the Solstice. It may be subtle, but if we tune in and connect, we too can feel the shifts these shifts within our bodies.

✨Full Moons: ✨ Revelations, Culminations, and Letting Go...

"bringing up the need to find harmony between discipline and flow, effort and surrender!"

Full Moons are times of revelations that offer us chances to gain more self-awareness. From now on and during the second half of the lunar month, we begin to let go of the intentions we set on the New Moon and the energy invites us to release and slow down.

On March 18, 03:17 AM ET, we witness an enchanting Full Worm Moon at 27°39’ of Virgo. This lunation marks the culmination of a chapter in our
