Hello and welcome! Why can't we simply say, "Pain, Pain, Go Away!"? And why does it seems "Suffering is always a part of Living"? Pain and suffering of any degree tend to diminish our experience of life. Beyond what we know and have already done, how else can we deal with ailments such as asthma, arthritis, cancer, phobias, addictions, stress and depression? For many people, their condition seems to be just too difficult and seemingly hopeless. We hope that Pranic Healing can help. Pranic Healin …

My name is April. I’m a Reiki Master Practitioner and I live in Winnetka (near Woodland Hills). I’ve noticed that The Valley (San Fernando Valley that is) doesn’t offer much in the way of support for Reiki Practitioners or those interested in Reiki. You seem to have to go far away in either direction. I’d like to try to change that. These days with how busy people are (myself included) and how expensive gas is, it would be nice to get together with others locally. So that said, I’m looking for …
