  Energy healing has been practiced for thousands of years.  Marilyn and Vickie will speak on Reiki, a form of laying-on of hands, which has been performed by cultures throughout the world and is best known in the west by mention in the Bible.

The natural properties of gemstones have been employed throughout history. Each has a unique vibration that has been known to affect the mental, emotional and physical body as well as the surrounding environment.
