If you’re feeling stuck or stymied, anxious or irritable, tap into what practitioners of reiki call “life-force energy” to help heal yourself. Reiki master and psychotherapist Merrill Black, LCSW, of the Temperance Center in Eastchester, offers this simple practice to promote relaxation and wellbeing:
1. Lying in bed, close your eyes and mentally scan your body.
2. Place your hands wherever you notice any feelings of tension, pain, or discomfort.
3. As you inhale, visualize white light entering your body. As you exhale, release what no longer serves you.
