ON THE SPOT
...with Karen Norling

Anyone who has met Karen will tell you that her presence itself is healing. There is a calmness and peaceful within Karen, which emanates about her, which draws a person to breathe and relax. It is not surprising therefore to learn that among her many gifts, she is also a Reiki Master. Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing. In biblical times, it was called 'healing hands.' Or in today's churches, it is called 'laying of hands.' It is also known as 'chi' or life energy.

It is hard to describe it other than to say that one feels as though one has been massaged without the whole body being touched, if touched at all. There are many links in the website that can describe more in detail what Reiki does and its ancient roots. Suffice it to say, that Karen's training and experience has given those who have had the good fortune to be her clients, an opportunity to rejuvenate, feel better, calmer, less stress, and just plain ol' feeling better. If you would like to treat yourself to an hour or two of pure bliss, contact Karen.

Add to that, Karen uses aromatherapy as part of her services. The essential oils and scents assist you in alleviating stress and pain, helping to transport you to a place of peace and relaxation.

I cannot say enough. You just have to try it. Karen can be found in Los Angeles, California. You may reach her through CirclePoint, reiki@circlepoint.org or her number at 310.452.1711.
