What is Pickle ball?
Pickle ball is one of the fastest growing sports in the country.
This upcoming paddle sport combines elements of badminton,
tennis, and table tennis. Pickle ball is played on a court the size of
doubles badminton with a ball that moves at one-third the speed
of a tennis ball, similar to a whiffle ball. The net is similar to a
tennis net. Pickle ball was invented as a backyard pastime that can
be played in doubles or singles and is now an organized sport
throughout the world. The United States Pickle ball Association
estimates more than 100,000 active players in the U.S. alone.

Reiki Healing Sessions
If our energy "life force" is low or
blocked, we are more likely to get
sick, but if it is high and flowing
freely, we can maintain our health and well
being.
Reiki Healing Energy means to balance the
human energy fields (Auras) and energy centers
(Chakras) to create conditions needed for the bodies healing
system to function.
The Reiki Master assists the client to heal themselves spiritually,
mentally, emotionally and physically by a simple laying on of
hands. By the use of ancient healing symbols the practitioner
channels the Universal Life Force energy allowing it to flow where
is needed to bring the energy centers into alignment.
Coralia “Cory” Rocha is a Certified Reiki Master, and works
with people who reach for, are open to, and could benefit greatly
from this most natural value of Reiki energy healing.
She helps clients to relax and experience the joy and power of
allowing the healing of underlying energetic causes to various
health symptoms and energy blocks.
Some Of The Reiki Healing Health Benefits One May
