About Nadya

Nadya King, Reiki Master
For generation upon generation, seekers in every tradition have visited temples and holy places to receive guidance and instruction from Shamans, Healers and Master teachers, to activate their talents and special gifts. Under this tutelage, each student is given the opportunity to raise their vibration, and effect positive change in both the self and those around the initiate. Reiki is one form of these ancient initiation and teachings.

Raised in a family with "healing hands," I began giving my mom back and "foot rubs"  at about 5. Three decades later, during my training to become a massage therapist, Mama told me I was always more sensitive to what was sore than my Dad.

 In 1989, I was blessed to meet my Reiki Master, Analyse Chamberlain, and begin my Reiki journey. From that first class, I felt called to «open the Reiki Door» for others. Already practicing message, I had long felt "something more" than physical healing was possible and necessary. 

 In 1991, that dream was realized, and in early summer at beautiful Breitenbush Hot Springs, a small group and I were initiated into Reiki Mastery. I attended the NW Reiki gathering in the summer, where I met lineage bearer Phyllis Lei Furomoto, and began offering classes in the fall for staff, and later guests. Reiki is a great foundation for other healing modalities, and adds a special touch to music and creativity.

 During my 1983 training in massage therapy, my mentor suggested I take Tai Chi, as it was a powerful lifelong movement form. Qi movement enhances one's life force, and leads to better mental and spiritual health. 

My first Tai Chi Master, Maria Wen Yen Liu, began each lesson with the 'warm up exercises' she'd learned at her father's side in China ... Qigong! I've had the good fortune of studying several forms over the past four decades, and Qigong has become my favorite morning practice.

Living and working on Healing Arts at Breitenbush, I was again blessed to study with healers and mentors from many traditions and backgrounds, including Wheels of Light author Rosalyn Bruyere, Egypt scholar Nicky Scully, ethetic healer Eric Vormanns, Lightwork teacher Amorah Quan Yin, and many others.

 As an artist, and calligrapher, I love using rice paper and Sumi for practicing the symbol glyphs during Reiki 1 and 2 classes. During my Color of Woman teacher training in 2015, we were asked to develop courses from a place of Soul Work. I realized that the use of creativity infused with intention aligns beautifully with passing the Reiki Light, and began offering Red Thread Reiki coaching and classes.

 "King? Did you hear that? The Hands of a healer, I say." - Return of the King, JRR Tolkien

Offering  classes which open the door for your own well being, via Reiki and Qigong, is my great joy, and a precious gift. If you have any questions, please contact me!
Blessings

Self Care Reiki style

Image
Mrs Takata encouraged her students to practice  "Reiki for the self first! "  before treating others. She taught a simple self treatment pattern, and encouraged them to receive Reiki as well. When we're new students, we are excited and inspired to practice self Reiki daily, but as time passes, we may fall away. When's the last time you did a self-Reiki session, or received Reiki? Lineage head Phyllis Furomoto recommends receiving Reiki weekly throughout the year, and for a block of days each month...  Wow!  I receive regular bodywork sessions with a co-worker who is also a Reiki practitioner, but receiving a full Reiki session is rare.  I recently received an invitation to the #30daysofselfcarechallenge on Instagram, and immediately thought of Reiki!  I often practice self-Reiki when I awaken, as part of the Miracle Hour process: Silence (Self Reiki), Affirmation (Reiki principles), Visualization (M/E), Exercise (Qigong or a walk), Read (uplifting), and Scri

Beginnings

Image
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

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
