The Center, Life in Balance, in Medford, is holding its first monthly Reiki Send at 9 a.m., August 23, to assist the healing of U.S. military troops, whether they are still in harm’s way or safely back home. All Reiki masters and Reiki II practitioners are invited to participate.

Reiki is a healing modality that uses touch to bring universal life force energy to the recipient. Reiki masters and Reiki II practitioners have been attuned to send Reiki wherever it is needed.

“We are sure Reiki is being sent to family and friends in the military, but this will be community based,” explain The Center’s owners, Susan Drummond and Maryann Miller, who want to initiate a larger, more visible and committed display of Reiki for the troops. “Coming together in community for a cause raises the energy vibration, increasing its power. We are hearing of the tremendous toll being deployed can take on military personnel and their families, and we believe in the healing power of Reiki. This is our way of helping out and saying, ‘Thank you for your service.’”

All are welcome to raise the healing vibration personally and globally at noon on Wednesdays during Love Meditation and noon on Fridays during Peace Meditation. Reiki practitioners are also invited to gather at 6:30 p.m., the second Tuesday of the month, for a Reiki Share.
