Welcome to the website of Ruth Ann Striegel. Here you will find information about Usui Reiki, the Japanese technique of stress reduction that helps bring the body back into balance and also promotes healing. I offer various seminars, consultations and Reiki training. Also there is information about the Alaskan and Indigo essences. These particular lines include flower essences and environmental essences, in addition to gemstone elixirs and combination formulas. Each essence or elixir is characterized by specific qualities that promote equilibrium and clarity for the mind, body, and spirit. This clarity can also be achieved through Spring Forest Qigong, a Chinese practice of relaxation, active exercises, healing techniques, and meditations. Clients can benefit from all three disciplines (i.e., Reiki, Spring Forest Qigong and essences) simultaneously to enjoy natural healing and balancing for the mind, body, and spirit.
