The Experience of Reiki

Shaman, sage, healer, teacher and Reiki master Janet StraightArrow offers healing sessions and comprehensive training programs that offer greater understanding and practice for students to be confident and comfortable in their Reiki practice on themselves and with others. Beginning in September, Advanced Reiki 2, The Protected Healer, and Advanced Reiki bodywork training for all levels of Reiki to advance their healing and practice will be offered. In addition, Reiki Master Training and additional Reiki 1 and 2 classes are offered later in 2021. All training offers certificates and CE’s.

Shares StraightArrow, “Reiki is universal life force energy, a high-vibration energy of healing light and love channeled through the practitioner’s hands to help and enhance healing. This energy is a pure divine vibration that comes from the source of all creation, which some call God, or universe. We all have universal life energy and Reiki enhances and empowers us with strong healing possibilities.”

Reiki teaches that the energy level of humans has been compromised for many reasons. Disease, pain, depression, and more result from lower energy levels. Through the sharing of Reiki, the energy level is raised to assist the body to receive and embody more energy and healing. Reiki is used in hospitals for pre- and post-surgeries, and in wellness clinics to assist patients heal. As a professional healing practitioner Reiki can be used in more settings outside of hospitals.  

“When I began teaching Reiki twenty-five years ago, I realized that everyone benefits from learning Reiki and receiving the initiations,” explains StraightArrow. “Students of all ages and walks of life can experience this way of energizing their body, mind, and spirit, naturally.”

In-Print News Briefs September 2021
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
