Reiki Heart - Wellness on all Levels
 
Mindful Eating Skills
 
When we loose contact with the messages our body and spirit are sending to us in the here and now, we find ourselves engaging in all sorts of behaviors that may actually hurt us.  One such behavior is the unhealthy consumption of food.  Mindful eating is nothing like the other diets you have tried.  It is just as much about how we eat as what we eat.  It is a simple practice that can transform your life in many ways.
 
At the Center for Happiness, mindfulness practices are easy to learn and implement.  A 45 minute session is only $30. See Services/Fees for additional information.  Also check out Mindfulness and Meditation to learn more!

Reiki for animals!
 
Dogs, Cats and Horses
Treatments are provided at your pet's home for their comfort.  Reiki provides the same benefits to animals as to people.  Injury, recent surgery, post traumatic stress, anxiety and depression are the most common reasons people request Reiki for their four legged loved ones.  Distance healing is also available and commonly requested for animal healing.  See the Reiki Heart and the Services/Fees pages for more information.  Prices are the same for treatments for animals and people.
 
I highly recommend attending classes here at Reiki Heart to learn to give Reiki to your own pets!  Being attuned at Reiki I and Reiki II can give you all you need to provide this healing care yourself.  This can be done through regular classes at the Center or specialized classes for animal reiki. Contact me if you have any interest or questions!

Many Lives Many Masters
by Brian L. Weiss, M.D.
If you are new to the idea of Past Life Therapy, this is an excellent read.  It is the true story of a prominent main stream psychiatrist, his young patient, and the accidental Past Life Therapy that changed both their lives.  Beginning as a total skeptic, Dr. Weiss travels an amazing path that leads to healing and spiritual growth for both himself and those who flock to him for help.  His courage in writing this book when the espousal of such beliefs might have lead to professional scorn by his colleagues is truly commendable; all of us have him to thank for helping to bring psychiatry and therapy so far down the road of progress.  Thank you Dr. Weiss!

The Holographic Universe
by Michael Talbot.
This is fascinating reading for those who are interested in the science of our reality.  Despite the mind bending nature of the material, he presents it in a clear and easy to read way.  He introduces us to the theorists behind the idea of the holographic universe and connects the information science's past inability to explain paranormal and psychic events.  This theory fits perfectly with the evolving science of physics and mind-body understanding of healing and spirituality.

Buddha written by Deepak Chopra. 
This is wonderful storytelling by Deepok Chopra.  He invites us into the human life of Siddhartha the Prince and Gautama the Monk... Buddha.  What  an enjoyable way to learn about Buddhism and it's spiritual foundations.  Inspiring and real.  I highly recommend it.

Being Peace written by Thich Nhat Hanh. 
Beautiful and simple, Being Peace offers practical suggestions for creating peace in ourselves and the world.  I love this book and recommend it to anyone interested in Buddhist practice and happiness.

"ACUPUNCTURE DETOX"
 
The Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist is one who provides a specific 5-point auricular acupuncture treatment for those suffering from addiction.  It is an adjunct treatment that is used in combination with other chemical dependency treatments.  Acupuncture has been used in eastern medicine for over 5,000 years and has more recently gained in acceptance in the west as an "alternative" treatment.
 
Acupuncture detox is a client-centered approach, always respecting the dignity of the person and the yin, the internal pathway towards recovery from addiction.
 
Unlike an Acupuncturist, who may treat any problem, the Detox Acupuncture Specialist may treat only addictions, including detoxification, withdrawal symptoms (including cravings, anxiety, sleep disturbance, inability to focus, etc...) , relapse prevention and problems related to stress.
 
Acupuncture detox is used to aid in the discontinuation of any substance that one can abuse or become dependent on.
 
The five points into which the needles are inserted are in the ear and are: sympathetic, shen men, lung, kidney and liver.  Treatments typically last 45 minutes.  Some people report a very brief sting when the needle is inserted and others state they have no discomfort.  This can vary from time to time as well as from person to person.  Once the needles are inserted, there is no discomfort.
 
Very anxious individuals usually fall to sleep during a treatment.  Tired and/or apathetic individuals will often report increased vitality at the end of a treatment.  Nearly all report a feeling of relaxation and centeredness.  As the number of sessions increase, the individual reports feeling more centered and calm most of the time, as well as decreasing the response of falling to sleep during the treatment.  At this point the frequency of sessions may be reduced significantly and fewer treatments will produce the same effects.
