The next Gardiner Library free monthly Reiki session will be held on Sunday March 3 from noon to 2 p.m. Members of the Hudson Valley Community (HVC) Reiki group will offer 20-minute individual Reiki sessions, free of charge, on a first-come first-served basis. Reiki is both the energy of the Universe and the Japanese system of sharing this energy with others. Recipients sit in a chair or lie on a comfortable table, clothed, while the practitioner lightly places hands on or above the recipient. The effect is of peace and deep rest for the recipient.

HVC Reiki group members are all seasoned practitioners from the community. They have been doing similar events throughout the region since 2010.

The Reiki will be offered in the library community room, 133 Farmer’s Turnpike in Gardiner, NY. Reiki is offered on the first Sunday of the month. The next session will be held on April 7. For directions or further information call 255-1255 or visit www.gardinerlibrary.org or the library’s Facebook page.
