Or, if you get angry about everything you read online and just can't keep scrolling. Maybe, it's time to take back your life. You can schedule a day off from the phone, computer, and social media accounts. Or you could only be friends with people you know IRL and who aren't peddling demagoguery or celebrity status. Finally, a great way to regain control would be to reestablish face-to-face relationships with friends and family. Have a real relationship, you'll love it!

Reiki is different from traditional massage in that the muscles of the body are not rubbed but rather, Reiki attempts to unblock or redirect the energies of a person's body. Reiki was started in Japan in the 1920's by Mikai Usui. In the 1930's, Hawayo Takata travelled to Japan, learned about Reiki, and then brought the practice to the West.
