Tuesday
Meditation and Reiki Circle |
Meets every Tuesday
Healing Circles have been a tradition at Wainwright House for more than 15 years. The practice of healing circles dates back to 4000 BC and is found in many cultures and belief systems. The
Wainwright House group may use Reiki or other
forms of energy healing as it is a self-directed group. Several
Reiki practitioners are in the circle and are happy to assist with the
healing. Circles
start with 20 to 30 minutes of silent meditation, generally with
music. Then, names of people or beings who need healing are
brought into the circle. Finally, anyone present who wants the
help of the healing energy sits in the middle of the circle to enjoy
the healing benefits. This is only with the permission of the
participant. The evening ends with conversation and
sharing for those who care to talk about their experience. Silence is always respected as well. The practice may be appropriate for some children with adult
supervision.
