Reiki at the Jesse Brown VA Stand Down

We’ve been supporting veterans via Jesse Brown VA since 2011. It’s always amazing to introduce veterans to Reiki for the first time, and it’s also special to have people come running up to get Reiki because, “I remember this from last time!”

Favorite feedback:
“Wow!”

We had a smaller crew this time due to such high demand for our services/so many events scheduled in June. It made it all the more important to have our new intern along to help out!

Suzanne and I were able to share Reiki with 14 veterans while Mimi handled everything at the sign-in table—and took all the photos!

She was a delight and had such a good time—look at that smile!

Veterans sometimes have injuries we can see, but more often they have psychological injuries we can’t. Reiki can be very helpful at calming minds and easing invisible injuries.

Here are the results of the Before and After surveys, and comments we received from recipients.
