Reiki for Veterans at the VA Stand Down

Serving our veterans was a new experience for several of our volunteers this past Stand Down. We heard some great war stories and received some incredible feedback. They took it all in.

Favorite feedback:
“I feel like I’m on morphine, without all the side effects.”

This was Sarah Prindable’s (AKA: @RogueYogaChicago) first Reiki Brigade event. She was able to introduce a number of our service members to reiki.

Jana ended up working with an older gentleman who talked about his life for quite a while. “I could listen to that all day,” was her reaction.


Sophie loves to help people, and it’s always an honor to help those who have served.

Veterans have seen a lot, so it’s not surprising they would have some colorful comments about their reiki experiences.

We loved their enthusiasm and look forward to the next event. Good stuff!
