Reiki Discount and Laughter Yoga at Monarch Therapy
H
olistic healing
center Monarch Therapy, LLC, is featuring a 20 percent discount on Reiki sessions this month. The Naples facility
is also offering a Laughter Yoga class, led by Linda Jean McNutt, from 4 to 5 p.m., May 18.
Carrie Sopko, a Reiki master/
teacher and certified transforma- tional breath facilitator, will instruct participants on how Reiki restores the natural flow of energy in the body by optimizing organ function, the immune system and an individual’s ability to handle mental, emotional and physical stressors. Laughter Yoga combines uncon- ditional laughter with pranayama (yogic breathing) and is based on the fact that the body cannot differentiate between fake and real laughter. Ac- cording to research by Dr. Lee Berk, of Loma Linda University, in Cali- fornia, laughter is therapeutic and strengthens the immune system by increasing antibodies. Laughter Yoga enthusiasts have reported reductions in colds, flu, hypertension, asthma, arthritis, allergies and stiffness, and say they feel energized, more positive and better able to cope with stress. Laughter Yoga also provides ben- efits similar to other aerobic activities like jogging, swimming and cycling. Dr. William Fry, a Stanford University research scientist, proved that 10 minutes of healthy laughter is equal to 30 minutes on a rowing machine.
Location: 4500 Executive Dr., Ste. 100. For more information or to schedule a Reiki session or RSVP for Laughter Yoga, call 239-325-9210. Also visit
