So when long-time friend Lisa Lewis suggested Williams try Reiki, the Vernon Township woman was a little nervous.

I thought, Yeah, right, she said.

But one session with Lewis, and Williams became a believer.

I got so relaxed, she said. At the end, it was like a cold freeze came into the room, and then a release. It was very tranquil. Im not sure I believe in the supernatural, but this is spiritual.

Lewis, a certified Reiki master and Swartz Creek resident, understands her friends apprehension.

Shed seen Reiki performed at psychic fairs, and wondered, What is this crazy stuff? she said.

But a 15-minute session in a crowded room changed everything.

I felt a tingling and warmth, Lewis said. When it was over, I felt like I just woke up from a 30-year nap. I never felt so relaxed, so at peace. I had to learn to do it so I could help other people.
