Universal Vitality Center

The Universal Vitality Center was created by Valerie Desilets and Brad Bick as part of a continued path to health and prosperity. Our goal is to spread knowledge of Reiki and its practice to the public as well as to provide healing for those who are in need. Each of us were brought to study Reiki under Reiki Master Diane Lynn Gelinas, M.S.W., C.H.. for different reasons.  Currently we have worked on several clients, both individually and together.

Our goals are to begin attending monthly clinics as a continued practice of our Reiki.  We also hope to provide more volunteer services in our spare time as well as continue our distance healing upon request. Long term, we hope to bring other aspects of energy healing to this center through our continued perseverance in other areas of our life.

Reiki has had a profound effect on my mind and body, and continues to do so. When I started doing reiki on myself I originally had what I believed to be a negative experience at the time. I became incredibly emotional and had difficulty keeping my feelings under control. It felt as though my entire foundation was shaking underneath me, like everything I thought to be true was in fact not. A great emotional crevice broke open from my center. Apparently I had been lying to myself about certain things that I felt, perhaps hoping that these things would go away. I was not okay with certain things in my life, and I had not expressed these things. They were causing a great weight, that I also ignored, and they had planted a seed of self destruction and self denial. I found hidden within me certain fears, and these fears had reigned over my existence. I am still on an incredible journey of self healing, and I think

I should continue such a path. The negative experience I though I had, was in fact the beginning of a revelation. It was the discomfort in knowing I was going to change. I was cleansing, and making room.

Another experience I had during my first stages of Self Reiki and continue to have, is that I have been drawn to butterflies. The symbolism of a butterfly has been an incredible reminder not to be afraid of change, and not to become stuck and die within my own cocoon, as some butterflies do. We all change,, but if we do not fight the metamorphosis we have the potential to become something incredibly beautiful and continue the cycle of life.
