Reiki share at Blue Pearl Yoga with Joni Yazkulski via Zoom

By Billie Owens

From Joni Yazkulski, Reiki Master:

This month's Reiki share at Blue Pearl Yoga in Batavia will be held via a Zoom meeting. This will be different from Reiki shares that we have in person.

Participants will need to be there at 12:30 p.m. and are asked to stay for the full time (1:30-ish).

There will be a short talk and then the actual share will start at approximately 12:45 p.m. This will give everyone a chance to enter and a little time in case anyone is having an issue getting on.

The Nuts And Bolts...

  • You will need to have downloaded the Zoom app on your phone, iPad or computer in order to attend the meeting in person.
  • It would be helpful if you had a microphone and webcam so that you can be heard as well as seen.
  • If you would like to have music to play in the background for yourself, you should have that ready, too.

Here's the Zoom link. The meeting password is Reiki. You will then go into a waiting room, and I will let you in the meeting once I see that you are there. Please feel free to ca
