Created in the late 1800s in Japan, reiki means universal life energy. It promotes the balance and restoration of the body and mind plus facilitates the power within each of us to assist in our own healing. This non-invasive practice uses the touch of the healer’s hand to the client in a gentle and respectful manner. Reiki focuses on all aspects of the client—emotional, mental, physical and spiritual healing. Niyama Yoga and Wellness Studio, in Randolph, is hosting two reiki classes in order to teach participants about the benefits of this healing modality. The Reiki Level 1 class will be held from 6 to 9 p.m., on April 18, and from 12:30 to 8 p.m., on April 19. The Reiki Level 2 class will be held from 6 to 9 p.m., on June 6, and from 12:30 to 8 p.m., on June 7.

Participants will train under the guidance of Rosie Lazroe, Reiki Master Teacher, Integrated Energy Therapist, E-RYT 200. Niyama’s linage follows The Usui System of Natural Healing, created by Dr. Mikao Usui.

Reiki can relieve stress, fatigue and tension and accelerate physical healing. It can reduce and eliminate pain, calm emotions and nerves and induce relaxation. Classes are limited to 20 people. For syllabus and course details, contact the studio.
