Anne Bentzen, a Westchester Reiki master trained in Eastern and Western styles of Reiki, offers three programs for practitioners and the general public. Beginning January 29, 2016, she will begin a six-month Reiki master program for Reiki 2 students who want to advance their ability to channel Reiki energy. The curriculum includes monthly study sessions, student teaching and advanced training.

“Becoming a Reiki master means you have the insight and tools to perceive the world energetically,” she says. “While you are not required to teach others, master training accelerates heart-centered living and healing skills.” This program is only offered from January to June. Reiki 1 and 2 courses are taught throughout the year, beginning in March.

Bentzen’s StarVisions healing circles will resume at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Mount Kisco on January 30, from 7 to 9 p.m. Although the circles are open to all, an RSVP is required, and space is limited to 18. “Participating in group healing circles is an economical way to manage stress,” Bentzen says.

A new, four-part energy mastery workshop series led by Bentzen and other StarVisions practitioners will begin in February. Discussions will include energy boundaries, energy discrimination, clearing, and strengthening your energy field. “By empowering others to master their energy, they develop a more positive vibration and become a light for others,” Bentzen says.
