The YMCA of Greater Erie has led community-based health and well-being programs for more than 150 years. The triangle in our logo is a symbol of a person’s essential unity-spirit, mind and body. And it is with a steadfast commitment to our holistic approach that we offer a variety of mind/body workshops to give participants the opportunity for self discovery and growth.
Crystal Healing Workshop
Embrace your Crystals, & Explore Crystal Healing!
In this system of Reiki, the practitioner communicates with and directs the energy of Reiki telepathically through the use of a Reiki crystal placed energetically in the practitioners heart chakra. Working with Mikao Usui’s Reiki Crystal of Awakening, the practitioner can bring Reiki healing into the field and systems within the body, bring healing into specific organs, mental and emotional issues, cord cutting, and a variety of other ways.
During this group healing experience, Crystal Reiki healing energy will be brought into the energy centers and major systems within the body. Each participant will have their own unique healing experience.
Dress comfortably and be open to receiving this gentle, but powerful healing energy.
Bring your favorite crystals to this fun, interactive class and learn about their sacred geometry, metaphysical properties, and how to use them for energetic healing. Using a combination of lecture and guided practice, participants will be able to identify various types of crystals, the influence of shape, and color as well as how to communicate with their crystal.
