Reiki & Music Therapy for Violence Interrupters

/ INVC/

The Institute for Nonviolence Chicago is an incredible organization promoting peace by intervening when street violence seems imminent. This model has been effective, and is serving as an example nation-wide. Last month, over 30 attorneys general from all over the US, including Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, visited INVC’s Austin office to learn about their outreach work with READI Chicago and how they teach cognitive behavioral interventions (CBI) to staff and participants to build peace in our communities. Love them, and love supporting them with Reiki!

Favorite feedback:
“Like energy leaving me, pulled from me—in a good way.”

We store trauma in our bodies energetically, and Reiki can help move it out.

Here Clara is explaining the neuroscience behind her Clinically Designed Improvisational Music (CDIM).

She plays her viola while we give Reiki, and recipients benefit from both therapies simultaneously. Good stuff!

Here Vero, Mimi, myself, Clara, and Suzanne are beaming after a day of supporting this wonderful and impactful organization.

Several recipients rushed in because they’d received Reiki from us before. For others, it was a new experience. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

Thanks for having us, and thanks for all you do, INVC!
