From the Tao Te Ching
Passage: Ten
Carrying body and soul and embracing the one,
Can you avoid separation?
Attending fully and becoming supple,
Can you be as a newborn babe?
Washing and cleansing the primal vision,
Can you be without stain?
Loving all men and ruling the country,
Can you be without cleverness?
Opening and closing the gates of heaven,
Can you play the role of woman?
Understanding and being open to all things,
Are you able to do nothing?
Giving birth and nourishing,
Bearing yet not possessing,
Working yet not taking credit,
Leading yet not dominating,
This is the Primal Virtue.

What Is Reiki?
Reiki, pronounced ray key, is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation which
promotes healing. Its administered by the laying on of hands while the client is fully clothed and in a resting position. The Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for spiritually guided life energy which flows through thepractitioner into the client, aiding healing of all types.
Reiki is used all over the world and is gaining respect within the traditional medical community. In particular, many hospitals recognize and acknowledge the benefits their patients derive from Reiki while going through chemotherapy, surgery, or other treatments. Besides enlisting non-medical practitioners, hospital administrators are encouraging their nurses to become Reiki attuned and make Reiki part of their daily routine of patient care.
If you're new to Reiki and wish to try it, a Reiki Share Circle is a great place to start. Reiki Share Circles are becoming popular all over the country. Most are open to the public and are either free or very inexpensive. A simple internet search will locate one near you. However, if you live in the Portland Oregon area, I invite you to join me for my circle, which I hold four times a year. Or treat yourself to an individual session. The healing that comes from Reiki is three fold: mind, body, and spirit. Reiki treats your whole being, not just the physical.
