What Is Ayurveda?
Ayurveda is a healing system that developed in India over 3,000 years ago. Ayurvedic medicine practitioners believe that in order to be healthy, one must have a balance between the body, the mind, and the spirit. To achieve this balance, there must be harmony between a person’s body, mind and spirit and the universe. Disruption of this harmony causes illness. Ayurveda proponents have reason to believe that humans are made up of five basic elements that, when combined, form three doshas or life energies that control how the body functions. The Vata dosha controls basic body functions, the Pitta dosha controls digestion and metabolism, and the Kapha dosha controls muscle growth and the immune system.

What Can I Expect in a Typical Reiki Session?
Reiki is a complementary and alternative therapy that originated in Japan. There is no single way to practice Reiki; the time, the place and the kind of setting Reiki sessions are done in are all dependent on the practitioner, who could be a beginner or a professional. A Reiki session typically takes place in a quiet setting; the practitioner may play soft music, but the person receiving Reiki could opt not to hear music and must tell the practitioner before the session begins. The receiver lies down on a treatment table or sits on a chair fully clothed as the practitioner lightly lays hands on various areas of the person’s head, torso and back, as well as on the limbs if needed.
