NEW BLOG COMMENT!

A gentleman named Bernard Schefer posted this Nov. 15th but I only just found it. Sorry, Bernard! Food for thought. It seems to be related to our Women's Self-Empowerment Group:

"Attention to yourself is not desired in any suppressive society. To become the custodian of a healing method is one thing, but to risk your life for it, is truly brave. For this, and many other reasons, these people are the unsung heroes for freedom, self-improvement, and healing methods."

Ilchi Lee


I had to look up Ilchi Lee, and found out via Wikipedia that among other amazing accomplishments, he's the founder of Dahn Yoga, which is gentle energy work related to Reiki and vice versa. 

Thank you for the comment, Bernard! I agree on all the points; with the more thought-provoking, perhaps even controversial being "risk your life for it." I have my own interpretation of how that would fit my life, although I do believe that true growth comes with ease and relaxation. 

Still, I would say that it's not just the risking of life, but also often risking the "social personality" to go against a commonly held belief in our society that healing is something an "authority figure" does TO us. One of my clients is always surprised when I ask her to participate in her healing. "I thought you were just going to fix me!" she said. But she keeps coming back, and I've had the pleasure of watching her changes lead to expansion and even occasional joy.

Many blessings on you, Bernard, and thank you for this thoughtful share.

“I'm working with late stage ovarian cancer and have been going through chemo for months. Marlan came to San Diego and give me a series of Reiki healings. Each time, my body sang a renewed tune, more loving and accepting of itself, when she had finished.”
  - Gabrielle Welford, Ph.D.,


Hi! I'm Marlan Warren.




I began my training and certification with the Los Angeles Reiki Center in 1984 under the tutelage of Joyce J. Morris, the 44th Reiki Master in the true Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage. Over the past 29 years, I've witnessed the amazing and humbling effects of this Universal Energy as it soothes, calms and relieves pain. 

Marlan is an exceptional healer and is worth seeing!  She helped clear many blockages in my chakras and her healing has contributed greatly to my well being. --Justin S.

What is Reiki? What is the Light Hands Reiki Studio?

"The only thing wrong with it is the name!" one client said to me recently after a successful session. "Call it 'Calm-Down-and-Feel-Better-Than-You-Ever-Have Energetic Healing.'" 

Reiki is a very specific form of energy healing in which hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body. Dr Mikao Usui, a  Japanese seeker of spiritual truths, brought the Reiki method of healing into human awareness in 1922. He is said to have begun teaching others after a serious earthquake hit Japan and he felt urged to spread his knowledge. Located in the heart of Los Angeles, Light Hands Reiki Studio and Institute has become the focal point for Reiki Master/Teacher Marlan Warren's 29 years of Reiki practitioner experience. 

I really enjoyed my first Reiki session with Marlan.  She helped me to feel very at ease about trying Reiki for my first time! Looking forward to sharing more and learning more with Marlan! (Joanna B.)

“I enjoyed the warm environment Marlan created (for the Reiki Share Group) and the lengths she went, so everyone felt at home.”

There is no licensing for Reiki practitioners in California. If anyone tells you that they are, they are pulling your leg. Unlike massage, there are no licensing requirements for Reiki practitioners in California. Reiki is a form of complementary medicine, which enhances the body's ability to heal itself. Marlan is a Level III Reiki teacher, and not a licensed physician. Reiki is a complement to more traditional western medicine provided by doctors, nurses and hospitals.

RELAX THE ACT



"It's like hitting the 'Reset Button,'" one of my newcomer clients said a couple days ago just 10 minutes into his introductory session, seemingly oblivious to the fact that all hell was breaking loose just outside the studio, as the Loudest Garbage Truck Ever had stopped in front of the studio's windows and was busy making noise that would go on for 15 minutes. 

The Reset Button. I like that.
