Of all the human senses, the touch is the one that has the most profound impact on me. I have been a fan of massage for decades, relishing the whole experience of having my aches and pains kneaded away but also with the smell of the oils and the sound of the music or fountain in the room. Heated stones or blankets make me purr. So when Reiki was suggested to me as an alternative therapy, I was afraid that I would miss the deeper essence of the massage. One of the best things about having this store is the opportunity to explore alternative ways to heal both my body and my mind so when I had the chance to experience an hour of Healing Energy by Keith Liles, I was ready to experience this practice with her.
Keith brings many of the same sensory experiences into the Reiki session that I had enjoyed with the massage, but it also intrigued me that someone could “touch” my energy and not only know I was stressed but do something about it! How cool is that?
The session started with settling onto a table she covered with a silk cloth; music accompanied the session and started to calm me right way. She did a “reading” of where my body and mind were at and she moved purposefully but softly. When you are around Keith you can feel her kindness and energy and you can also sense that her laughter is just under the surface. She makes you feel good just being in her presence.
An hour somehow melted by and I loved the entire experience. For the rest of the day I felt more at peace, more confident and, well, just happier! It’s sort of a hard thing to describe but definitely one I want to experience again. Thank you, Keith, for an extraordinary experience.
