Recognizing Energy Drainers & Givers

Recognizing Energy Drainers & Energy Givers

Ever leave a conversation feeling completely exhausted, while another person leaves you feeling inspired and energized?

Not all exhaustion is physical. People, environments, habits, and even our own thoughts can either replenish or drain our energy.

In this interactive class we’ll explore:

• How to identify hidden energy drains in your daily life.

• The difference between healthy giving and emotional depletion.

• Why some relationships leave you feeling exhausted.

• How your body signals when your energy is out of balance.

• Practical ways to intentionally create more energy-giving people, habits, and environments.

You’ll walk away with greater awareness and simple daily practices that help you feel lighter, more balanced, and more in control of your energy.

☀️ If the weather cooperates, we’ll take our class outside to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the Wellness Center. Bring your favorite outdoor chair, or simply use one of our yoga mats or meditation cushions—we’re happy to bring them outside for you. If Mother Nature has other plans, we’ll gather indoors in our comfortable space. Come dressed comfortably and ready to relax, learn, connect, and recharge. 🌿

    About Irene Pregl

    Irene Pregl, founder of the St. Croix Healing Arts Center, has dedicated her life to personal growth, healing, and empowering others through education and holistic wellness.

    Irene’s own healing journey began after years of struggling with undiagnosed Lyme disease and countless doctor visits. She was introduced to a Catholic nun who taught her about personal healing through energy work, practical tools, and spiritual guidance. She also received Usui Reiki sessions one to two times each week from a local practitioner. Combined with herbal support, this approach helped her recover from Lyme disease in approximately six months.

    Through her experience, Irene discovered that Reiki offered benefits far beyond physical healing. It strengthened her mind-body connection, deepened her spiritual awareness, and supported her overall well-being. Inspired by these life-changing experiences, she committed herself to helping others on their own healing journeys.

    Today, Irene is a Usui Reiki Master Teacher, offering all levels of Reiki training and healing sessions. She also hosts workshops designed to help individuals release limiting beliefs, old emotional patterns, and past experiences so they can move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

    The St. Croix Healing Arts Center has grown into a comprehensive wellness center offering a variety of holistic services, including:

    Usui Reiki sessions and certification classes
    Infrared sauna
    Meditation float tanks
    Cold plunge therapy
    Massage therapy
    Natural wellness solutions for health-related concerns
    QUEST 4 bioenergetic assessment technology to evaluate the body’s energetic systems and provide personalized wellness recommendations
    Peptide education and wellness support
    Essential oils and educational classes
    And many other services focused on supporting mind, body, and spirit.
    At the St. Croix Healing Arts Center, Irene’s mission is to provide a welcoming space where individuals can explore natural approaches to healing, personal growth, and overall wellness.

    What Are the Benefits of Reiki?
    Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance and promote overall well-being. While each person’s experience is unique, many people report feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed, and more centered after a Reiki session.

    Potential benefits of Reiki include:

    Promotes deep relaxation and reduces stress
    Encourages emotional balance and inner peace
    Supports the body’s natural healing process
    Helps relieve tension and promotes relaxation
    May improve sleep and reduce feelings of fatigue
    Enhances mental clarity and focus
    Encourages a greater sense of spiritual connection and self-awareness
    Supports recovery from life’s emotional and physical challenges
    Complements both traditional medical care and other holistic therapies
    Creates a sense of balance for the mind, body, and spirit
    Reiki is safe for people of all ages and can be received while fully clothed. It is a complementary therapy designed to work alongside—not replace—medical care. Many people choose Reiki to support relaxation, wellness, and personal growth as part of a holistic approach to health.

    “When we create balance within ourselves, we open the door for healing, peace, and renewed vitality.”

    What Is a Session Like with Irene?
    Every Reiki session with Irene is unique because it is tailored to your individual needs and intentions.

    Irene brings together a distinctive blend of Usui Reiki, a gentle Peruvian-inspired shamanic approach, and intuitive guidance to create a personalized healing experience. Before your appointment, she prepares an intuitive chart to identify areas that may benefit from attention. At the beginning of your session, you’ll review the chart together and have the opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions, and add anything you’d like to focus on.

    During the session, Irene may incorporate a variety of healing tools, including:

    Essential oils
    Healing stones and crystals
    Rattles
    Drumming
    Gentle energy clearing techniques
    Each of these tools is used thoughtfully to support relaxation, energetic balance, and your personal healing journey.

    Like many energy practitioners, Irene has developed areas of focus through years of experience. She is especially passionate about supporting people who are navigating life’s more challenging experiences, including emotional trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, major life transitions, and feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. Her intention is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can release what no longer serves them and reconnect with their own inner wisdom and strength.

    Whether you are seeking stress relief, emotional balance, spiritual growth, or a deeper connection with yourself, every session is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

    “Healing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about returning to the wholeness that has always been within you.”

North

North represents winter and also a sense of trouble, hardships, and sadness. As winter is the season of waiting and surviving, the Cherokee word for North literally means cold. North is the color blue. The animals representing the North include white buffalo, moose, and bear. These animals are a reminder to be patient with the seasons.

In the sacred north direction you stand in your own light instead being bound by the roles that you fill.  Learn to live in gratitude to discover your true gifts by connecting to the collective unconscious.  Use ancient technique of soul retrieval to call back the parts of your soul that broke away due to trauma to create wholeness and harmony in your soul.  Included in this direction you will be making your own drum for journeying.

West

West represents Autumn and the final harvest as the end of a cycle. The West is black and it represents the death of summer’s cycle. The animals of the west include the beaver for teamwork to prepare for winter and the snake to remind us of how to shed our old skin for transformation.

In the west examine what you hold inside of your shadows and bring it out without fear of what may be discovered.  See how negative energies held in your luminous energy field affect your health and wellbeing.  You will learn how to map and release ancestral imprints and past life karma.  Learn to listen to your inner voice and trust your intuition so you can accept guidance from the Spirit World.

South

South represents Summer and is a time of great abundance. The summer holds fertility, passion, growth, joy, and peace. The color is white. The animals of the South hold the lesson of strength, courage, and pride. The eagle with her keen sight and the wolf, proud to be part of the tribe.

You start your journey around the Medicine Wheel by looking to the sacred south direction by exploring the foundation in energy medicine practices.  In the south, the snake teaches you to shed the past, like its skin, so you can emerge renewed.  This act of releasing things that no longer serve a purpose keeps you moving forward in life.  Moving past old stories allows you an opportunity to write a new life story.

East

East represents Spring and symbolizes victory, success, and power. After a long winter, the renewed sense of life emerges. The color is red and it symbolizes protection. Red beads were used to call forth the red spirit for strong love relations, to heal from illness, and to pray for longevity. Animals of the East are birds in flight such as the owl, hawk, and hummingbird. Words are offered to the East so they may fly and soar with Spirit.

The east you will examine your life’s journey to see how the choices you make in life becomes woven into the stories of those around you. Learn to die consciously and be reborn to a life you create every step.  Explore the gifts Creator has for you and embody your Higher Self in your true calling.
