Abstract (Document Summary)
[Edie Jemiola], a middle-aged woman who lives in Willington, came to sound healing from her initial training as a Reiki practitioner. Reiki is a synthesis of Asian healing concepts in which a practitioner places his or her hands just above a client's body and uses hand movements to direct and clear the body's energy. Jemiola, who worked in information technology at Hartford Financial Services Group for three decades, became involved with Reiki as she struggled to overcome the death of her 8-year-old son, who was hit by a car while riding his bike in 1988. Before starting the actual healing session in Enfield, she described the seven chakras, or energy centers, with specific functions that are well-known to yoga practitioners. She said that each chakra, from the "root" chakra at the tip of the tailbone to the "crown" chakra at the top of the head, corresponds to a specific note, from C for the root, up the scale to B for the crown. Her bowls are tuned to D, for the second chakra, which governs sexuality and creativity, and F for the fourth, which governs love and emotions. (2 COLOR), JOHN LONG / THE HARTFORD COURANT GRAPHIC: (1 COLOR), SOURCE: SACRED WAVES; EDIE JEMIOLA creates a ringing sound as she runs a wand around the rim of a white quartz bowl during a sound-healing session in Enfield. Sound-healing practitioners believe it can re-balance and unblock energy and, by doing so, promote physical, emotional and mental health. EDIE JEMIOLA, preparing to conduct a sound-healing session in Enfield, talks to practioners as they arrive. They find that sound healing helps them relax and relieve stress.
