EAST WINDSOR (February 6, 2025) – Residents and families at Fresh River Healthcare had a wonderful time at a meet-and-greet social with Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) Connecticut Chapter social worker Jean DaRin.
The group had the opportunity to learn more about the incredible impact this organization has across the state. The conversation was filled with valuable insights on support, education, and how we can all make a difference.
Yesterday also marked the launch of Fresh River’s Reiki program, offering residents a new way to explore alternative wellness. Reiki is a type of energy therapy. The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy.
Reiki is a type of energy healing. According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Reiki practitioners believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can:
- enable relaxation
- relieve pain
- speed healing
- reduce other symptoms of illness
