Reiki
Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of energy healing. Energy Healing involves direct application of Chi for the purpose of strengthening the client's energy system. Chi is the term used by the Chinese mystics and martial artists for the underlying force the Universe is made of.

Reiki originated in Japan in the early 1900's. It is a laying on of hands and can help with insomnia, anxiety, immune system problems, terminal illnesses like cancer and the effects of radiation, chemotherapy, etc., and can assist in letting go of old unwanted patterns that are held in the body, mind, or spirit.

Applied Chi Gong
Chi, or Qi means vital essence, and Gong means mastery or achievement. Chi Gong combines posture, movement, breathing, meditation/visualization and conscious intent to cleanse or purify the energy channels of the body. In applied Chi Gong, the practitioner projects chi outside the body to another person for healing.

bodywork

Heather McFarlin works with clients in San Francisco and in Sausalito. Heather evaluates and treats the whole body using both Chi Nei Tsang and massage. Her love for yoga, Vipassana meditation, and Chi Gong have served to bring a light and presence to her sessions. Using applied Chi Gong and subtle awareness, she can tune into specific points of tension and assist in the unwinding of the core pattern causing the imbalance. Commonly, clients access a state between wakefulness and sleep, a state similar to trance or meditative awareness. Heather especially enjoys working with people interested in self-discovery and who are committed to healing, since ultimately, the healing comes from within each person.
