Rei, means Universal and Ki, is the Vital Life force energy that flows through all living things. In the scientific world, Reiki is known to offer a state of deep relaxation and from that state physical healing is heightened and promoted.

Here are a few tips on how to keep your back feeling good after all this snow we've gotten! Warm up. Warm your muscles before heading out to shovel by doing some light movements, such as bending side to side or walking in place. Push rather than lift. Pushing the snow with the shovel instead of lifting can help reduce the strain on your body. When lifting snow, bend your knees and use your legs when possible.... Choose your shovel wisely. Ergonomically-designed shovels can help reduce the amount of bending you have to do. Lighten your load. Consider using a lighter-weight plastic shovel instead of a metal one to help decrease the weight being lifted. Hit the pause button. Pace yourself and be sure to take frequent breaks. Consider taking a break after 20 to 30 minutes of shovelling, especially when the snow is wet. Consider multiple trips. Consider shovelling periodically throughout the storm to avoid having to move large amounts of snow at once. Keep up with snowfall. Try to shovel snow shortly after it falls, when it is lighter and fluffier. The longer snow stays on the ground, the wetter it can become. Wet snow is heavier and harder to move. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated while shovelling.
