REIKI AND REIKI CLASSES
*****
My first Reiki treatment was at the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami, FL. Prior to that I had read a little about Reiki and was curious about alternative therapies and this just seemed to fit the bill. After my first experience I felt ‘emotionally lighter’. I knew a door had been opened to something that was a compliment to my new emerging lifestyle which was to include taking better care of myself.
Little did I know that I would need more of it in the not too distant future. In March of 2007, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and after a successful lumpectomy started radiation treatments at Lancaster General Hospital (LGH). During my treatments, LGH offered free half-hour Reiki sessions. This program was possible through a grant given to use Reiki to compliment radiation therapy. I immediately signed up for several sessions. I felt Reiki was a real benefit to my treatment and recovery. It is nearly 5 years and I am still cancer free. I have pursued more avenues of Reiki on my own.
Taking Reiki classes elsewhere and in Lancaster, with Sue Purdy, has enabled me to continue on this path. I am now able to do self Reiki daily and offer Reiki to my family, friends and my dog, who especially loves it now that she’s recently had surgery. I continue to have Reiki sessions with Sue because, for me, it feels like an emotional ‘tune up’.
I plan to take more classes from Sue. Her firm belief and dedication to Reiki inspires me to be open to learn more and more about it. While I don’t aspire to go on to have business of my own I do want to continue to grow in this area. What she offers is a safe, knowledgeable and comfortable setting that encourages you to learn and better yourself.

I cannot begin to count the times I have walked out of Sue Purdy’s office after a Reiki session and marveled at not only the extent of pain relief I was feeling, but also how peaceful and centered I had become. The muscular aches and feeling of extreme fatigue are gone. So is the chronic headache and the joint pain from arthritis. She is the conduit between the readily accessible divine healing and the body’s ability to relax and open to receiving it. She provides a quiet, comfortable, and accepting atmosphere which makes it so easy to relax and sometimes even fall asleep. Her gentle touch relaxes both my mind and my body, and as they connect, I begin to understand what it means to be whole.
Although I live an hour away from her office, I eagerly look forward to my monthly appointments, not just because I know I will feel better physically, also because I will be refreshed by the energy connection between us. She is not just my Reiki practitioner – she provided a personal connection that keeps me coming back, month after month.
A friend did me a huge favor when they recommended Sue to me and it has been my deep pleasure to do the same for others.

I have had the honor and pleasure of experiencing Reiki I and II classes with Sue.
Her classes were exactly what I was searching for. Sue is a very warm and gentle person. Her knowledge at all levels is boundless. The Reiki energy just exudes from Sue. From the moment you step in her class to the moment you leave you are surrounded in a warm bubble of Reiki knowledge and energy.
Anyone seeking to be attuned to Reiki, I would highly recommend Sue (and have). You will never be the same.

Reiki with Sue gave me a new lease on life.
Six years ago I was diagnosed, for the second time, with mold on my lungs. I was told I would only have 45% of my lung capacity for the rest of my life. Sue started giving me Reiki and I now have 65% lung capacity and have been discharged. The doctor asked if I was on any kind of medication and I told him I was only taking vitamins. He said what ever I was doing - to keep it up. I went out of the office with tears in my eyes - called my husband and yes, called Sue. That was May 2010.
Reiki made a believer out of me and in June 2010, I was attuned to Reiki Level I. In October 2010, I was attuned to Reiki Level II. The attunements were gentle, soothing and done with a lot of love. You could feel the energy in the room.
I was so excited after being attuned to Reiki Level I, that I wanted to help the world. I give Reiki to family and friends. After I was attuned to Level II, I did a lot of Distance Reiki. Believe me, hands on or distance, Reiki really does work. I have had a lot of great results, some of which were hard to believe. I still go to Sue once a month. It feels so good to relax and have a Reiki treatment. When Sue is finished, I feel like my battery has been recharged.
Since I started to give referrals, I always carry Sue's pamphlets and cards. So far, three people I have referred have become Reiki attuned - and two more referrals will be attuned in the near future.
I have given Sue's information to Chiropractors, Dentists, Ministers, Teachers, friends and neighbors. In a book store in Lancaster the clerk who waited on me started to ask questions about a book on Reiki, I was buying. I gave her Sue’s card and pamphlet.
See Sue in person; get a Reiki treatment and a new lease on life. Better still, become Reiki Attuned.

I have been seeing Sue on a monthly basis for about a year. I have Parkinson’s and my joints are stiff which makes walking, among other things, difficult. After a session with Sue, I can move much better for a time. I always look forward to her visits as she is a friend now as well as a Reiki master. We always have a little chat before our session, and I look forward to that as well.
I can heartily recommend Sue as a Reiki Master. I intend to use her services, now and in the future as well.

I have been lucky enough to be Sue’s student for Reiki I & II, in addition to enjoying regular sessions. I have never known a healer who combines such astute perceptions with warmth and care. Reiki has enriched my life, in more ways than I can say. I feel the difference it has made, and I know the potential it has for me and those around me. Reiki has been a blessings and positive experience. Reiki has helped give me additional tools to help myself as well as those around me. It inspired me to go even further in trying to help others.
Sue is such a wonderful soul, and her Reiki practice really does show her sincere dedication in helping others receive the light of Reiki healing. She is a true healer walking the timeless path of loving service. She brings light, compassion and depth to every interaction, and she is utterly masterful in her application.

I volunteer at a parrot rescue. They said they were going to bring in a Reiki Master to teach anyone interested how to do Animal Reiki – and that it would enhance your ability to work with animals. I had been interested in animal communication for some time, so I signed up. After we were attuned to Level 1, we practiced on each other - and then each of us was assigned a parrot. The new bird – the frightened little Blue Front Amazon assigned to me, first moved to the back of the cage. As I gave her Reiki, she relaxed, then came closer. She closed her eyes and took a little "Reiki Nap." After about ten minutes, she woke up, and started eating and talking. She was no longer frightened and settled in to await adoption.
As time passed and I worked with other problem parrots, I found that I could project my thoughts to the birds as I was giving them Reiki. I tried to help them understand how their behavior affected the relationship with their humans. I also worked with the humans to modify their behavior. In most cases we were able to resolve issues and establish a gentle, loving relationship between the human and the bird.
After being attuned to Reiki Level 2 and taking an animal communication course ([sponsored by] Sue), my abilities to work with dogs, cats and birds were enhanced even further. Sue Purdy has been a dedicated friend and teacher, who has mentored and supported me through these life changing experiences. Life with Reiki can be so much fun and is very rewarding.

I am grateful to Sue for bringing the gift of Reiki into my life, both during sessions and through taking the classes. I have also learned so much during the Reiki Share evenings. Self-Reiki has become an essential daily practice for me. I have referred friends to Sue in the hope that they will learn of the advantages of Reiki healing energy too.

My first time at Reiki was different. I felt a peace settle over me, calming soothing. Every time I came I felt like that, only more so, as deeper feeling of I can’t really tell; I just felt good. My nerves seemed to settle down and I wasn’t as snappy; I just dealt with things much better.
My Reiki I class was wonderful, I learned a lot. I am so glad I took it. Later I’ll do Reiki II.
~ Sue V. (Columbia, PA – 2011)

BIOMAT
After having tried a BioMat at a retreat last year, I purchased a mini BioMat for my 83-year-old mother who has spinal stenosis. While it hasn’t cured this degenerative disease, she has had a much better quality of life because she is using it on an almost daily basis. I was so pleased with her results, I purchased one for myself and am enjoying the comforting benefits also.
