We are all made up of several different “bodies” – our physical body, our energy body, and our mental body, each of which experiences grief in different ways.

After the death of a spouse or partner, it’s common for our energy centers to be totally depleted while also being thrown completely out of alignment. Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that dates back to the 1920s focused on the balancing of our energy centers, or “Chakras.” Through learning more about the chakras, what they each represent, the feelings that are associated with them, and where to direct our energy as we heal, we afford ourselves a deeper understanding of the effects of grief that are sometimes hard to explain.

Topics will include an overview of the energy body and chakra system, a deep dive into each of the seven energy centers, how to protect our energy as we grieve, and how practices like Reiki can be supportive as we walk through our grief.
