Transform Your Life with Reiki
by Erika Marie
Chiyu Center
"Chiyu," which means healing, cure and recovery in Japanese, aptly describes the Chiyu Center in Portland. The center provides clients with a sanctuary to take a deep breath, a sacred pause from the uncertainty and stress of today's world.
Chiyu Center helps clients achieve and thrive in their highest expression of health by offering Usui Reiki energy healing. For those interested in becoming a Reiki practitioner, the center provides Reiki I, Reiki II and Reiki Master teacher attunements.
"Usui Reiki energy healing is one of the most powerful forms of energy healing," says Erika Marie, founder of the Chiyu Center. "I believe Reiki is the most profound way to access universal healing energy - the same healing energy called qi or chi in Oriental medicine traditions. Just like Tai Ji, yoga and meditation, you do not have to believe anything for Reiki to work. By simply opening yourself to the Reiki energetic healing process, you open yourself to achieving your highest level of health and joy of life."
As a Usui Reiki Master teacher, Erika Marie has found that the true cure comes from within. "When we approach health from this perspective, we move past symptomatic treatment and real healing occurs. Our clients realize they are free to become whole, healthy and happy in every aspect of life."
