its gentle action, the body rejuvenates and clears out blockages. We utilize two lineages of Reiki in our work, the familiar Takata lineage and the deep and powerful Takamori lineage, also known as Reiki Jin Kei Do.

This is an expressive and dynamic play process that is used by children, adolescents, individual adults, couples, families and groups. It has been described as a "waking dream". Meaningful images, dilemmas, fears, hopes and dreams can be accessed through the sandtray, allowing conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche to interact. The therapist neither analyzes nor interprets the sand-world, but allows the meaning of the play to emerge as the client experiences and shares it with the therapist.

This is a unique approach to self-exploration, self-discovery, and self-expression. It is based on the belief that movement and personal art expression have the power to reveal, heal and transform our bodies and our psyches. Movement and artistic expression act as a mirror, reflecting our physical, emotional and interpersonal concerns. Originally called Movement-In-Depth by its founder, Mary Starks Whitehouse, the method grew from her roots in dance, Jungian studies, and pioneering work in dance/movement therapy.

Some of the techniques we use in our practice depend in part on the principle of the non-locality of mind. This principle asserts that mind is present everywhere. As such, treatments can be carried out when the client is somewhere else. Reiki, medical intuition and quantum clearing, and light language can all be done at a distance. Often, a prearranged time is set aside for the client to relax while the practitioner does the work. Phone consultations can also be done.

Once the area of "psychic spies," remote viewing has become a very useful tool for assisting in determining health problems (a form of medical intuition), finding lost objects, making important decisions, even helping to solve crimes and mysteries. Dowsing is more than just looking for water. It is a skill that can be compared to remote viewing with a pendulum. Map dowsing has been used to find ideal building sites, mineral deposits, and anomalous energies. Remote viewing is a non-local skill, while dowsing can be used on-site or at a distance.
