Healing Ghosts & Spirits
**Online Class--- take from anywhere anytime... Reiki 2 required**
For Halloween, I am doing an online class for healing
Ghosts and Spirits.The cost is $69, it will be 3
weeks. I have been doing healing work on ghosts and spirits for
over 10 years, and have developed a technique that is both very
positive and very effective. All souls have the right to enlightenment.
We treat the ghost or spirit as worthy of healing. Then we use
the Reiki to call in beings that can help it move on to its next
level. Class includes a number of techniques to strenghten
and protect your energy field which is not only important for
this work, but will also strengthen you and bring understanding
in other areas of Reiki and the rest of your life. Class will
include 'live' examples so you can see experience what ghost
energies are like and how to heal them. First run tuition $69..
later will be $99.
It is recommended that you have taken (or at least started)
the Extraordinary Healing Class, and or had 2 years experiences
sending distance Reiki before taking this class.

Enhancing Living and Learning through the Science of Movement

“
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.

When I was in Japan last fall, I met Jennifer Thibodeau,
who was writing an article on the future of Reiki. It was just
published
in The Canadian Reiki Assocation's newsletter. She interviewed
a number of most notable Reiki Master Teachers in the world,
including Arjava Petter, Hyakuten Inamoto, Frans Steine James
Deacon
and ME!
I was honored
to be included.
For length, and for copyright reasons, I have excerpted
from the article just her interview with me below, but I recommend
you read the full article on page
5-9 of
the Canadian Reiki Association Newsletter.

The Future of Reiki
By Jennifer Thibodeau
Like many Reiki people, I am interested in the historical origins
of Reiki healing. Thanks to Usui-sensei's memorial stone at Saihoji
Temple in Tokyo , we know that Reiki Ryoho began in 1922, when
Mikao Usui attained enlightenment while he was fasting and meditating
on Mt. Kurama in Kyoto, Japan. Since the 1990s, there has been
considerable research done to uncover the truth of other aspects
of Usui-sensei's life and the evolution of the Reiki healing
art, and this will doubtlessly continue. Recently, however, I
began to wonder about the future of Reiki healing – how
will it continue to evolve? What is in store for us as Reiki
people? In search of these answers, I have interviewed seven
Reiki Teachers/Masters - James Deacon, Rev. Hyakuten Inamoto,
Cerise LaCore, Jessica Miller, Frank Arjava Petter, Kathleen
Prasad and Frans Stiene, to learn more about their opinions and
visions of the future of Reiki healing.

Jessica Miller
Jessica Miller is a senior level teacher for the International
Center for Reiki Training. She has been teaching Reiki since
1993, and she is the author
of Reiki's Birthplace: A Guide to Mt Kurama. Her website is www.reikimastery.com.
What do you foresee regarding the future of Reiki?
" Reiki is going to be something that everyone does - at
least a basic level because it can be learned in a weekend and
the teacher's level can be learned
in less
than a year. It will become so common that there will be a Reiki person
in every house. Reiki is the folk medicine of the future.
While many will be content with the basics, some will feel inspired
to follow it to a deeper level. These will become the Reiki
explorers. They will
make pilgrimages to Mt. Kurama , where Reiki began, and the other sacred
places
of the earth,
and use Reiki to connect into the Ki of the place. They will treat Reiki
as a general purpose metaphysical tool, and use it for both healing and
exploring the universe, learning more from direct experience and less from
books."
What will the differences be between Japanese and Western Reiki?
" I think there'll be more understanding and respect for
Western Reiki and Japanese Reiki. Reiki has developed differently
in both places and they
both have their
strengths. Western Reiki focuses more on all the great things the practitioner
can do immediately after being attuned. Many of the Japanese techniques
are slower, and focus on techniques that take time to become proficient at
but will
ultimately
improve their Reiki ability. I teach both."
How popular will it be?
" Everyone is going to learn Reiki. The number of people
who will study it will increase and it's only a matter of time
before everyone will
learn it. None of
us have to heal the whole world, we just handle our little corner
and then train other people to handle their little corners. For
something to really
make a difference
in the world on a long-term basis, you have to be able to spread
it faster than the rate of population growth. Reiki is one of
the few things you
can
do that
with."
Will people continue to charge for Reiki classes?
" There will always be free or low-cost classes where people can receive
a Reiki attunement and learn a few basics. I would love to see Reiki
taught in high school,
as an elective like cooking or first aid. But just as anyone who
truly is inspired by cooking or medicine is going to seek out additional training
or information
so they can do more with it, so too will many people want more advanced
training."
Conclusion
No one can say with certainty exactly what the future holds
for Reiki. After interviewing these Reiki teachers, my confidence
is renewed
that with some
diligence and the ethical practice of Reiki healing and teaching,
it will continue to grow
and touch the lives of more and more people, one Reiki class
and one Reiki treatment at a time.
