At Healing Through Rhythm, we utilize rhythm and energetic frequencies as catalysts for healing, incorporating shamanism and ancient knowledge into our practices. For thousands of years, Mayan elders have taught us about the trials of Xibalba, a metaphor for all the darkness and negative situations we all encounter.

 

Everybody has their own demons to face. The trials of Xibalba are tests and challenges that we encounter throughout our lives, whether it is through disease, emotional problems, death, or any negative experience. The most important thing is how we respond when we are in it, which is what makes the difference – do you tend to see the glass half full or half empty?

​

At Healing Through Rhythm, we understand that increasing your energetic frequency can help you navigate your Xibalba more positively. We do not stop things from happening; we don’t cure any disease or condition. However, we can help you ease pain, depression, anxiety, and sleeping problems, among other issues. We proudly offer various modalities for healing, depending on what you are into; we offer Reiki, chakra balancing, Sound healing (singing bowls and tuning forks), Boxing (Mexican style), and Salsa (On2).

​

Our primary service is Reiki, combined with crystals and sound healing, when it feels needed. Reiki is an ancient therapy rooted in the Power of the Universe; it is a path of spirit, or kokoro, which means mind and heart blended as one (as Dr. Usui described it).

 

Reiki is not a religious practice, but rather spiritual in nature. Rei stands for mystery, gift, holy, and nature spirit, or the invisible spirit; Ki means life force energy, or healing that embodies wisdom, guided by Spirit, God, or the Universe.

​

Taking an active approach to healing can have lasting consequences, altering karmic balances and potentially leading to altered life paths. This is what Reiki can do for you; if you heal in this life, you are also healing your past and future generations. Remember, the only way to find yourself out of the darkness is to find the light within YOU, and the darker the background, the brighter the light.

​

The act of walking in peace and harmony is both a blessing and a way of being that is centered in conscious choices, or personal responsibility as an active agent in the world.
