Kindness isn’t something we wait to receive it’s something we nourish from within. 🤍✨ When we show compassion toward ourselves, it naturally extends to others, shaping the way we relate, respond, and move through each day. 🌿

Let this gentle reminder invite you to pause, soften, and let kindness flow through every thought and moment. 💫

Reiki as we know it today was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s.

Usui Sensei dedicated his life to sharing a gentle healing practice that emphasizes presence, relaxation, and support for the nervous system. This work spread widely as he taught thousands of students during his lifetime and laid the foundation for Reiki systems practiced around the world.

Reiki invites awareness of subtle energy and a compassionate connection between body, mind, and spirit. 🌿✨

Awareness doesn’t always mean “fixing.” Sometimes it simply means noticing without judgment, effort, or pressure. 💗✨

Focusing attention on the heart space, the chest area, can help you become present with your emotional responses, allowing sensations, feelings, and energy to be observed rather than pushed away or altered. 🌿🤍

This kind of mindful attention supports emotional regulation and helps you learn from what arises within you, moment by moment. 💫

Our Story

With the growing public interest in new healing approaches, our healthcare is beginning to focus on "whole person" care. Four Directions Wellness, affiliated with GW Center for Integrative Medicine, focuses on intuitively connecting body-mind-emotions and spirit for a person's health and wholeness. Individuals seek Four Directions Wellness founder, Mara Benner’s, support to connect with their personal intuition: to find clarity in their life, to consider the mind-body connection with an illness; to receive relaxing healing techniques and to pursue their inner spiritual journey. Prior to forming Four Directions Wellness, Mara has enjoyed over 30 years in healthcare, working at various times in hospitals, nursing homes, home health, hospice and elder protective services. She received a degree in Gerontology, and has worked at the federal and state level on healthcare and aging policy. One of the most important perspectives Mara has gained is as a family caregiver and seeing firsthand our healthcare system from the eyes of a patient. These combined experiences have provided a more complete picture of our need for integrative and “whole person” healthcare. Mara has also undergone extensive training throughout her lifetime in mindfulness, healing modalities, spiritual exploration, and coaching. She is also currently in training for medical intuition.
