🌟 Mikao Usui’s poem is a gentle invitation to return to presence.
👇 His words remind us that true healing begins within—when the mind softens, the breath slows, and the heart reconnects with calm awareness. ✨

🌿 Each line carries quiet wisdom:
🔹 An encouragement to release tension
🔹 Embrace gratitude
🔹 Honor the simplicity of being alive

🌙 Peace is not something we chase — it’s something we allow.
💛 Take a moment with these words. Let them settle. Let them guide you back to yourself.

✨ Reiki is gaining space in hospitals and healthcare centers around the world for a simple reason: it brings calm, relief, and comfort where it’s needed most.

💠 It doesn’t replace medical treatments, but it complements care by:
🔹 Improving relaxation
🔹 Supporting better sleep
🔹 Providing emotional support for patients, families, and even healthcare staff

👉 If you’re looking for a supportive practice to navigate medical processes with more calm and balance, Reiki can offer a safe and compassionate source of comfort. ✨

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. Among Mara’s expertise, she is recognized with the following: Reiki Master Certified Intuitive Counselor Certified Integrative Reflexology Practitioner Certified Energy Medicine Practitioner Certified Shamanic Healing Apprenticeship Certified Qigong Training Certified Crystal Healer Interfaith/Interspiritual Ordination Through all of her experiences, she recognizes that whether for preventative care, acute or chronic disease or to simply take a closer look at our inner selves, the body-mind-emotion-spirit connection is a critical journey for each person’s health and vitality. Mara and Four Directions Wellness belongs to the following organizations: Alexandria Chamber of Commerce Del Ray Business Association Holistic Chamber of Commerce International Association of Reiki Professionals One Spirit Learning Alliance Reflexology Association of America
