Reiki II
Reiki 2 opens additional energy centers and
connects you to a greater volume of Reiki
Energy. During the course, you are given
three sacred symbols, each having a specific
function. These symbols can then be used
as a focus to enable you to strengthen mental
and emotional healing and to send absentee
healing. A large part of the training received
in Second Degree is centered on the
understanding and use of these symbols. In
Reiki 2 training you receive two attunements.
At this stage of the training, the energy
attunement is greatly amplified and its focus
is on the etheric body rather than the
physical. As a result of these attunements,
you may develop both a greater sensitivity
to energy and a psychic awareness.

When dealing with the emotional turmoil
of divorce, staying focused on protecting
your financial interests is imperative. This
seminar will give guidance for protecting
interests in pre-, during and post-divorce
stages. We’ll discuss understanding your

It’s a scary proposition: an elderly parent
or relative suddenly and unexpectedly is
admitted to the hospital, and now needs
long-term care in a nursing home. And
whether you chose the role or not, you
are the one responsible for managing this
transition. How do you pay for the nursing
home? Will they take the home? Can I be
personally liable for the debts? Rather than
drown in the sea of rumors out there about
how Medicaid works, please join us in this
introductory workshop on adult Medicaid
now — before the unexpected happens.
