Karuna Class next weekend Dec 8-10 in South Pasadena (not usual location). I have 1 definite student, and 1 review, and I need one more student to hold the class. Please let me know ASAP if interested.

Starting in January I will be offering an extended option for Reiki 1&2 classes in Sierra Madre. The extended option will start friday nights with an origins of Reiki Slide Show and signed copy of my book. The standard Reiki 1&2 class will continue as always on Saturday & Sunday, and Monday has been added as a practice and new techniques day, including a Reiki guide meditation and healing attunement. The cost of the standard Reiki 1&2 will remain $350. The extended class will be $500. Anyone from past classes that want to only come to the extended portion of a future class can sign up to do so.

There will be also extended options for ART/Master and Karuna Master. Still working out the details.

Jess & Jeff Personal News

Jeff and I are moving to Hope St. Literally. By mid-January, we are moving to South Pasadena, to an adorable studio apartment round the corner from the shops of the Mission District and the Goldline Subway. Our new address willl be 1031 Hope St, South Pasadena, CA 91030.

A little odd history. Three years ago when I was leaving the castle, Pavitra (who owns Inner Harmony where I teach near Pasadena) said "I just put a downstairs apartment into my house" Six months later I met and moved in with Jeff, who I married in July. A few days before Thanksgiving this year I talked to Pavitra, and told her we were looking for a place. She said. "I just listed a studio apartment on craigslist if you want to see it"

Holiday Give-Away Party Dec 29-30

Friday December 29 7pm-11 and Saturday 1pm-5pm we will be having a Holiday Give Away Party.

Jeff and I are moving from a large house to a studio (and a couple of storage units)

We have many wonderful things that won't quite fit into our new place, but are too precious to simply send to good will. Candles, crystals, pictures, metaphysical and other books We would like to gift you our freinds and students with the treaures we are leaving behind.

Crystal Lotus Healing Grid and Crystal Ball Amplifiers.

I don't have the online store set up yet, but I have worked it out so you can order by email. I do have limited quantities.. so substitution may be necessary for some items.

Baby Adyita Update

On Thanksgiving I sent out a call for Reiki for the Aditya, born October 24th. All the tests during pregnancy looked normal, but seeing the baby, the doctors told the parents he had the genetic disorder Down's Syndrome.. The parents were devastated, and wondered if reiki could help.

Hello Jessica,
Aditya is doing fine. He had his first appointment at Stanford childrens hospital today. We had Nutrition therapist, Speech therapist, Physical therapist, all were giving positive feedback for aditya which was good to hear as a parent.We will have yearly appointment with them. Plus in between we have to do his thyroid test, eye test, hearing test. For all this we should thank u and all others who are sending reiki for him.

Meanwhile i wanted to correct Aditya's spelling in many of the emails his name is spelled as Ayita so if you can send correct name of him that would be good. I am specifically saying this as i don't know whether the name is important while doing reiki.

Doctors also asked us to work more on his muscle tone. Thank you and i will keep informing u about Aditya's progress. A Big hug from Aditya.

Thanks
Sangeeta

Reiki on Orchids - by Jessica N.

I work in a very stressful office environment with the quintessential fluorescent lighting and high-strung temperament. Not exactly a conducive environment for plants - especially sensitive plants like orchids. Back in April, two of my teammates and myself were given orchids for our desks as gifts. I made sure to take care of mine with the usual watering and pruning as they did too. However, after two months, my orchid seemed to be struggling, as did my teammates orchids. I decided to start Reiki treatments on my orchid. As a result, my orchid began to thrive. My teammates, unfortunately, lost their orchids - they both died. I've found that as long as I give "Stanley" (that's the name I've given my orchid) a little boost at least once every two weeks that he's fine. In fact, about 6 weeks ago he started growing a new leaf and it keeps growing bigger and more lush. :) The orchid is growing so much that I need to transplant it soon into another pot! :)

The Art and Joy of Lovingkindness

by Atmo Khryse

Atmo told me about this in one of my recent classes, and I felt like it really summarized a profound truth, so I asked her to write it up for this newsletter. Enjoy..

Rabbi Simcha Bunim Bonhart of Peshischa (1765-1827) was one of the main leaders of Hasidic Judaism in Poland. Hassidism is a Jewish movement that believes in a joyful way of living as expression of true spirituality. The word Hasidic comes from the Hebrew root word ___ chesed meaning "lovingkindness".
Hasidic Jews are taught to have two pockets in their coat, with two slips of paper, one in each pocket:
One slip says: "I am only dust & ashes."
The other reads: "For me, the whole universe was created."
One of my Rabbis suggested me a while ago to do this practice. So I kept the two slips of paper in my pockets as a reminder through the weeks. The essential thing to remember is that our human nature is complex. That in that complexity there is hope to integrate our two opposite soul inclinations (good and evil) and elevate our state of human beings in the light of our divine purpose on this earth. If not this, what then it is our obligation to our souls? After all, loving-kindness has its beginning manifestation in our personal work towards humility, and self-acceptance.
I do recommend this exercise to all Reiki practitioners, as we serve as a mirror to our brothers, and sisters in the path of spiritual growth each time we connect with them. Nobody is perfect, however, there is perfection within us in the likeness of God. There is not teacher that knows yet everything, as there is not student that knowing or without knowing is not already teaching so much to those that surround him/her. Is in the art of acknowledging our weaknesses, with respect rather than using denial that we can contribute in an interdependent fashion to the repair of this world. By healing, we help to heal ourselves and others. And, that’s a joy!
Thank you to my Reiki Master Teacher Jessica Miller, who with loving-kindness embraced this short story from me, in her peaceful thoughts to share it with others.
Shalom,
Love, Life and Light to all!
