“
The Best Thing Since Reiki” - Jessica Miller
I am thrilled to announce that I am sponsoring my friend, the
very talented Rupali Robinson in teaching a very special
class in Pasadena (Sierra Madre). Of all the modalities I
have been
exposed to since learning Reiki, this is the one that has
the most profound influence on my life. I was having trouble
getting
my Kurama book from idea to paper, and her application
of these techniques made a tremendous difference in my ability
to make
progress and complete that dream, and many others. Brain
Gym rewires the brain,
so you can improve your ability to learn, relax, and
achieve your goals.
Rupali has had tremendous results with school children,
college students, and adults in Northern California
(she lives near
Napa Valley), and I am thrilled she is willing to teach
a beginner class here. My husband Jeff and I are
attending the class, hope you can too.
Brain Gym ( Educational Kinesiology) enhances your
physical,
emotional and mental state by waking up the brain.
Edu-K is a
program of easy physical movements that synchronize
body and mind to optimize how we learn and perform in all
areas of our
life (in the performing arts, athletics, business,
or
education.) This course is experiential, interactive, and
small in size
to allow one-on-one evaluation. It is for all ages
and abilities,
using
simple movement to activate the brain for specific
performance goals.

Stories
and Ideas
For this months newsletter, I include a couple
of the talks offered at this years Reiki retreat in New York
State. Almost 200 Reiki people, most of them Reiki Masters were
at this event in Lake George. It is a great chance to meet
other
reiki
people and get new great ideas for doing Reiki.
Reiki Energy Crossing by Mari Hall
Anyone who find this technique useful should take the November
Educational Kinesiology class offered by Rupali Robinson in Sierra
Madre, which offers more sophisticated forms of this technique,
and many others.
Theory: Often times neurological problems, learning difficulties,
and even just stress is the result of having parts of our brain
not switched on.
Technique: In this technique you have the client (or yourself)
cross your ankles in one direction (such as left ankle over
right), and
cross your arms in the other (right arm over left).Then apply
Reiki to the head for about
10 minutes.
Then
change which
way your arms and legs are crossed and repeat. If you are doing
this as a self treatment, cross your hands and put them on
top of your head.
Results: Mari did this for on 6 different volunteers, then had
us all do this on each other. I found it so powerful, I am incorporating
it into my own daily Reiki selftreatments. We saw noticable improvements
in posture, movement coordination, and many reported that their
minds felt much clearer afterwards.
The most dramatic
is that we had one person with cerebral palsy who was able
to stand and take her first steps without using a walker in her
entire life. She continued to get stronger in her walking over
the weekend.
The Energetics of Emotion
Jessica's notes on a talk by James Schrenker, MD Bristol,
TN
Everyday lessons in health www.bristolclinic.com
His talk (and book) are much more comprehensive, but these are
my notes from his talk at the Reiki retreat, and are enough to
get you a sense of his work, and if you would like to get the
book. Jim is a medical doctor who is determined to bring holistic
health into the main stream world. He is an inspiration, both
for the work he is doing, but also for the environment in which
he is doing it. He was a bit overwhelmed at the retreat, because
he gives this talk to many mainstream audiences he has to work
hard to win over, and here he had his first chance to 'tell it
to the choir', ie an audience that already believed most of what
he did, and loved him for it.
Because most of his work occurs in a medical setting in a deeply
christian part of the bible belt, it is also worth looking at
for the rest of us, so we can better understand how to communicate
our own message to the world.
The great teachers of world didnt give us a diet plan, exercise
plan or even talk about how to (or not to) get into hell. They
taught us how to think.
It is not the short time thoughts, it is
the life
time
thoughts,
the
character.we build that creates health.
Emotion lasts in body longer than thought. Memory and worry
affects us for a much longer time. Even expectation of a bad
time.
After treating many people with illness in a medical setting,
I started noticing the personality traits everyone with a particular
disease had in common.
A couple examples:
Diabetes is about honoring yourself. Understanding you deserve
to exercise and eat right.. Their major thought pattern is
"I am going to do and do and do for everyone else, and I
am going to
resent
the
hell
out
of
it." and "You
just don't recognise me for what I am doing for you" Then
they will turn around and do it again. Difficulty is not in
doing
good, but doing good resentfully.
Cancer. It is the habit of angry thought that develops
cancer. Where cancer is, is often dependent on what the anger
was.. For example, nurturing anger
is often in breast.
Physical disease is treatable by working on the energy system.
The goal is to store positive emotional memory, and release
the negative. Memory is filed under one of two emotions, Fear or
Love.Love is oneness with god. Fear is the illusion of separation
with god.
By generating positive thoughts we can generate positive chi
(or Ki). Reiki works beautifully with this idea. Removing these
negative blocks will remove blocks to healing. Releasing this
memory creates
a void--
which
we use Reiki to fill
with love. People will feel it at own rate.. Sometimes takes
time.
Next he went over the chakra system:
1st Chakra - Free will/Choice
Issues with family, religion, tribe, country or society creates
problems in Testes, Ovaries, adrenals, pancreas, skeletal, immune
system, rectum.
2nd: Karma
Problems with Family, sexuality, creativity, relationships,
'teachers' creates problems in IBS, sex organs, intestines.
3rd: Purity
Problems with Others, Honoring Self, Internal/external focus
issue of attention.creates problems in Liver, Pancreas, Spleen
4th Love/Relationships.
Problems with God self/ Divine love.. breathing
in joy and life. Disapponted big dreams.. problems in Lung chest
and breathing.
5th: Truth
Problems with creativity, communication of Inner truth creates
problems with thyroid, parathyroid, throat.
When follow joy some come close, some fade away. If have thyroid
problems, you made decison 6 months ago to repress your joy.
6th: Faith
Problems with human perception/thought creates problems with
pituitary, sinuses, brain, and ears. Knowing we are divine, in
gods image, and deserve good things. Sinuses.. what do we just
not get about spirituality.. do you believe it with every fiber
of being.
7th: Hope
Problems with Allowing, create problems in pineal gland and
mind. Depression, mind, ADHD, grounding.. Depression "what is
my purpose" "Do I really belong" "Do I really matter" Reiki and
energy in body and head help alot.
Letters
Despite the delay I'd been promised your book arrived last week
and this is to let you know that I've read it with delight and
posted the attached review on the Amazon.co.uk site. I assume
it will also appear on the Amazon.com site (though neither will
appear until it has been approved). I attach a copy of the
review in case you'd like to post it anywhere else - which you
are welcome to do in my name - or would like me to post it anywhere
else.
Having recently discovered for myself the beauty and magic of
Mount Kurama on a day trip from Kyoto I became determined to
return for a longer period. It was fortuitous therefore, shortly
after making my decision, to discover this book by Jessica Miller
which will now inform my second visit to the mountain. It proves
to be informative, comprehensive and entertaining, but above
all it carries the strong personal imprint of the author and
her enthusiasm. The volume itself feels good in the hand with
its semi-rigid cover and fern-patterned endpapers which provide
a design theme running through the book and it is printed on
good quality glossy paper which supports the many colour photographs.
The slightly whimsical layout adds to the sense of it being a
loving construction rather than just a hard-nosed guide book
but without detracting at all from its content.
Whilst written, as its title acknowledges, in the context of
Reiki and its origins it provides comprehensive information on
the various temples, shrines, mountain paths, deities, history
and other features on the mountain which will all prove valuable
to any visitor. It also offers practical advice on such matters
as reading Japanese railway timetables, using Japanese toilets,
ordering food, praying at shrines and also why not to blow out
the flame on lit incense – because the breath is considered
impure in Japan. But it is as a guide to the birthplace of Reiki
that the book addresses itself most intimately, in a chapter
which discusses the spiritual dimension of Kurama and which describes
the many energy centres on the mountain that the visitor can
seek out. Here Jessica recalls her own powerful energetic experiences
in an unpretentious manner which invites and encourages the reader
to share them with her; a style suggestive of a caring teacher.
I am delighted to have found this book and to recommend it both
to those interested in Reiki and to all others seeking an inspiring
place to visit near Kyoto. Also note that the author can be found
in a number of short internet videos on YouTube, one of which
talks about the mountain and the book.
