The
Bellevue Hospital (TBH) is sponsoring Reiki
Healing Touch Group Circle classes, with the
next meeting set for Tuesday, June 11 from 6-8
p.m. in the hospital’s Conference Rooms A&B
According to Reiki master/instructor Patricia
Zilles, Reiki healing promotes overall balance
to help you feel better and function better.
This non-invasive practice is safe, and supports
any medical treatment or drugs prescribed by
your doctor.
This
month’s class will focus on “Reiki Energy
Therapy” from 6-7 p.m.
“The need of
calmness, peace, and a relaxed state is hard to
come by with our busy and sometimes hectic
lives. Stress can present itself in a variety of
physical disorders. Reiki is a difficult subject
and is just recently becoming noticed in
alternative treatments for pain and other health
problems, commented Zilles. “By drawing on your
personal energy systems, Reiki practitioners
work on energy blocks within the body, with the
intentions of opening your chakra system, and
through energy channels known as meridians. The
body has natural patterns of energy associated
with it. So if you’re experiencing any form of
physical or mental shortcomings, limitations or
challenges in your life, there’s a high chance
one of your Chakras is weak or closed.”
Sessions are open to the public and to nurses
who are Reiki Practitioners, Life Coaches,
Energy Bodyworkers, Reflexologists, Massage
Therapists, and all other modalities and
wellness alternatives.
Reiki
Circles are scheduled monthly every second
Tuesday at TBH from 6-8 p.m. Attendance is free.

House located at the Bellevue Community Center, 110
Cherry Blvd., in Bellevue.

Feb. 13.
The yoga classes are open to the
public, and are appropriate for any age. The classes
focus on various levels of emotional, spiritual,
physical, and mental healing.
“Yoga is about stretching and breathing
exercises,” said Branco. “Anyone of any age can
perform yoga exercises, always ‘listening’ to your
body and performing the stretches and exercises as
your body allows.” The stretching and breathing
exercises are performed both on a mat or blanket,
and standing up. Participants go at their own pace.

promoted to the body, ones natural body chemistry is
then enhanced, improving mental and physical
fitness.
