Reiki 1 offering

 When a friend or family member is suffering, do you wish there was 'something more' you could do? Welcome to Reiki!

Summer skies

If you are sensitive to energy, and easily overwhelmed, you may find Reiki helps mitigate that, and that you're better able to function in groups. 

We become the 'jumper cables' connecting to source, and Reiki flows exactly where it's needed. Artists, writers and musicians often find Reiki helps them tap the font of inspiration. 

In Reiki I, students learn basic Reiki practices, form and history, and are initiated in traditional Usui Reiki I. We will also make cards for integrating the five Reiki Precepts. 
  • Basic hands on Treatment for self and others
  • Reiki as 'first aid'
  • Attunement to Reiki
  • Spiritual, emotional and mental health support
  • Practice time
  • Reiki precepts as guidelines
  • History and background of Reiki and the Masters
  • Spiritual, mental and emotional healing
  • Time for Q and A
 A massage therapist since 1983, I discovered Reiki in 1989, and have integrated it into my life, daily practices and massage sessions. 
As harpist, artist and grandmother, I appreciate the gentle Reiki energy infusing my music, interactions and art. 
Reiki Rattle and flowers
Since becoming a Reiki Master teacher in 1991, I've had the honor of attunting many to the joyful Reiki energy. 
This summer I had a lovely time with other Reiki practioners at at the 40th NW Reiki gathering. We painted little Reiki rattles to remind us we're always together, even whilst apart!

My next Reiki 1 Class is scheduled on October 26 and 27 in McMinnville, LMTS will receive 9 CEU.
I'd love to have you join us for this journey with Reiki!

Everyday Reiki

The Reiki precepts begin kyo dake wa , just for today ... When we have Reiki, we can invite the energy to flow into our activities and interactions throughout the day.  While Takata awaited surgery in Dr Maeda's hospital in Tokyo, each of the meals prepared by the doctor's sister the dietician was blessed with Reiki : green tea, Rice, beans, steamed vegetables (especially carrots & beets), seaweed. As she learned Reiki herself, Mrs Takata blessed her own food and drink, and later recommended her students do the same. Teachers in many traditions suggest blessing what we ingest, it's something we do daily, and soon becomes second nature. We can also use Reiki around the home: set up an altar hold seeds or herbs a minute before we plant them bless a craft project we're working on sweep the floor play a musical instrument atune to objects as we decide whether to keep them, or pass them on In addition to doing sessions on ourselves, our pets and each other, we can use Re

Beginnings

A couple of weeks after meeting our Reiki Master, another student & I arrived at her home for our First Degree Reiki class. One of Analyse's Mastery students joined us as well, to participate & observe. We alternated between teachings, sharing stories & experiences, initiations & learning to give (& receive) treatments. Analyse described the initiations as 'clearing the pipes' for the energy to flow through us, unimpeded. 'Think of the water pipes in two houses, a 'city house' & a summer home. If you turn on the faucet at home, the water runs clearly, while those in a place that's rarely used my sputter a bit, & run a bit cloudy. BOTH pipes have corrosion, but you don't observe that as much in the pipes that are used regularly.  'It's the same with people - some people naturally allow energy to flow, others don't; but both have 'blocks' that restrict the flow. The initation 'clears the pipes' in

Rei Ki - the word

Reiki is written in two Japanese kanji or characters,  Spiritual (&) Energy The word 'Reiki' is used in the West to denote a healing system. The founder of our Modern Reiki System, Mikao Usui didn't use this term, his teachings were more commonly called 'Usui Do' (the Way of Usui) and the healings 'Usui teate' or Usui's form of hands-on healing. Later, the word Reiki was added or substituted, to signify the system utilized spiritual energy. In Chinese, the same two kanji are used for 'Ling Chi'   "Ling Chi is the subtylest and most highly refined of all the energies in the human system and the product of the most advanced stage of a practice, whereby the ordinary energy of the body are transformed into pure spiritual vitality. This type of highly refined energy enhances spiritual awareness, improves all cerebral functions, and constitutes the basic fuel for the highest level of spiritual work." (Ling Gung: Harnessing th
