Reiki Workshops Winter 2009/2010

Spreading our wings and light into the world is our main objective. One of the most precious signs that we are on the right path, is when students begin to create their own circles, often using a template from our teaching methods. Not only that but from one acorn, grows an oak.

Now the students are spreading the word that our method of teaching is diverse yet effective in assisting in changing lives in a positive way. Still retaining the initial Reiki ethics and teachings we also find what is best for your healing to take place. Incorporated into workshops we also include Laughter therapy, Dance and movement as well as anger management techniques deriving from Buddhist teachings.

The next Reiki workshops will take place in Central Melilla (North Africa) from the 29th October- 9th Novemeber. We will be teaching 2 reiki 1 workshops (now fully booked) and a Reiki 2 Course (minimum 3 months before attending this course).
These workshops are taught in Spanish.

On the 28th and 29th November we will be at Villa La Paz in Coin. Here we are teaching a Reiki 1 course. There is a residential facility here or apartments on the coast are available for rental.(for non residents)
There are currently 2 places available for this course. For further information please e.mail info@alternative-world.org

In January we are looking at running a Reiki workshop in Kent (To be confirmed)
This is a great way to bring a positive direction to your life
More information will be following shortly....

Additionally we are looking at running a Reiki workshop in Lisbon and Castel Branco in Portugal.
More information will follow shortly....

If you have a centre and are interested in us running a workshop in your area, please e.mail us with your location and services and prices. We look forward to hearing from you shortly...

Healing Circles- Today is a new Dawn

For the past 8 years I have been running Healing Circles assisting in networking and acting as a Catalyst in bringing lightworkers together to interact, grow, share and develop their healing and meditation gifts.

Now it is time for the seeds to be sown. Seeds have been planted in the form of confidence, healing, self worth and recognition, self belief and knowledge as well as unconditional love. That self recognition within their hearts has grown with the realization that their time has come to start a circle of light.

I know that my time has come to delegate the leadership of new circles. I need to spend more time teaching and writing. I know that my spiritual work is taking me on new paths. Being a part of their formation is one of the most beautiful experiences I could wish for.

New healing circles are being formed by former students and followers.
If you wish to join watch this space for new information regarding Healing circles of light along the Costa del Sol and Melilla.

Forthcoming Healing Circles are being formed in Fuengirola, Coin and Melilla.

Reiki 1 for Kids- Bullying Prevention

An introduction

Bullying is a major problem within todays society within many schools.
Peer pressure, fashion status and trends often have effects upon a childs life.
Sexuality and weight also have effects on a childs life.

The most important aspect of life is to be yourself.

Unfortunately too many children bury their true dreams and aspirations for the fear of not fitting in at school. Too many children suppress their true feelings and emotions.
Reiki can help your child to be in touch with themselves.
Reiki can install confidence
Reiki can help your child heal past hurts
Reiki can prevent bullying
Reiki can help your child follow their heart and achieve greater goals and aspirations

Having being bullied as a child I am all too aware of the affects of how it affects a child.
It affects your whole life. I was once a shy teenager who missed out on opportunities because I was too shy and allowed others to hold me back from achieving within school.
Once I overcame my shyness I was able to confront my fears.

A little later in life I discovered Reiki.

I am now in the public eye and run workshops, presentations, organize events, and work within the media. The energy of Reiki helps to boost confidence as well as raising the spiritual frequency.

The people I have taught have ranged from early 20s to late 60s. All those people who have embarked upon courses have changed their lives for the better. They have each found their foundation. A place to work from to achieve and set new goals, they had only once dreamed of.

Reiki 1 is the foundation maker of life. Your child could find themselves at an early age.
Within workshops I teach meditation and creative visualization.

Meditation helps to relax your child. If for example they suffer with sleepless nights, nightmares, tantrums, hyper active behavior, then this helps to calm and relax them as well as teach them to focus and become more positive within themselves.

Creative visualization helps to train their mind as well as encourage greater creativity within. For example this may help to bring about great works of art and literature.A dream diary is also encouraged. Keeping records of dreams creates a greater connection to the universe as well as understanding themselves.

Healing is the greatest priority. Healing is love, unconditional love for the self. Understanding the self creates acceptance. Love is the key to life.

Children are taught how to heal themselves as well as other people, plants and animals.
This also creates a greater bonding within their lives, friendships, family and society.

The workshop

The reiki 1 workshop is taught in one day.
To make the workshop exciting and enjoyable I also incorporate other therapies that work very well with Reiki. Laughter therapy is enjoyable with many adults, but especially children. Laughter is also incredibly powerful as it raises the bodies natural healing defenses. It also releases stress and creates bonding with other children.
Dance therapy is also incorporated into the course to encourage confidence and liberation of the spirit. Here we discover the inner born leader who is crying to escape and prove themselves.

The workshop also focuses on affirmations and positive thoughts.
Meditations and creative visualizations.
Understanding the chakras
Attunement to the energy of Reiki
Self healing
Healing animals and plants
Manual of study (for your child to keep)

The course starts at 10.30am-1pm Lunch and Refreshments then from 2.30pm-5pm
The price of this workshop is 85 euros
A certificate is also awarded with this course.

The course is available for children from 5 years old -16 years old

I am also available to teach this course in schools and colleges.

Reiki 2 Workshops

Reiki Two is the second degree level.
There are many ways in which Reiki is taught. This largely depends upon the Teacher and the Lineage that is followed.

I practise the Traditional Usui method as well as the Integrated Tibetan method.
Level two can only be taken after you have completed level one. You must have been attuned to level one for a minimum of three months. As you know, Reiki One is largely about Self Healing and meditation although you are also introduced to healing others.

Reiki two is about using the Sacred symbols of Reiki that were channelled by Mikao Usui in the late 1800s. These originally are to be kept sacred, although now you can find them on the internet and published within many books. In one way this goes against the Traditional teaching of Reiki.

Reaching Reiki two does not mean that you stop working upon yourself.
It means that you continue at a deeper level as well as healing others.



The Workshop

This workshop is taught over 2.5 days

Three days prior to the workshop you will receive the Symbols and the Mantras. You must be able to draw, the symbols as well as write and chant the mantras. These you must learn off by heart by the time you return for the workshop. The symbols and mantras must be destroyed so that no-one can view them. You will know them and retain them within.

.Throughout the Workshop you are taught to feel and connect to the energy of each symbol through meditation practices. Each symbol carries a different vibration and healing energy.
You will connect with the Power Symbol, Mental Emotional and the Distance Symbol.
You will connect with the Unconditional love of Reiki through the highest Power for your Personal self development.

Attunements and Empowerments
Also incorporated into this workshop are Soul Development Exercises, Meditations and Visualizations, Distance Healing, Healing with Crystals, The Violet Flame, The power of the Universe, Healing Relationships, working with the Terminally ill and the dying, Releasing Karma,
Past life Regression/Future Lives and Healing Treatments
Depending upon your individual development other methods of Healing are incorporated into the workshop.

A certificate is awarded.

You are required to keep a diary of all your meditations and dreams throughout the Course as well as for 21 days. After 21 days you return with your diary and will receive an additional Empowerment (a gift from us).

What happens on a Reiki 1 Workshop?

Taking those all important steps towards the spiritual self, is often a hard decision to make. Often a life changing occurrence has occurred within your life, to assist you in making those all important positive changes towards an aspect of light and renewal.

Many people have experienced, hardships, relationship breakups, illness , the loss of a loved one or even a near death experience. It is at these low points in life that we begin to re-evaluate our lives and feel and know that there is something better.

Too many people are “people pleasers” and do not give enough time to themselves.
Knowing that you deserve better and that you can do something to help yourself as well as others, is indeed a gift to accept into your unique way of existence.
Reiki one is about finding that time.
Time for the self
Creating a balance within your life, so that you are in a position to help yourself and to help others.

It must be acknowledged, that Reiki is not just a form of healing. It is a path.

Fulfilling your lifes purpose really comes to the fore when you have accessed the first major step towards enlightenment. That first step occurs through Reiki 1.

Reiki 1 is called the foundation maker.
To enable yourself to grow spiritually you need a firm foundation to work upon.
Reiki can give you that. It plants a seed, so you may grow and blossom into the person you are, not the person others want you to be.

Reading this page today, helps you to acknowledge, that that all important step forward
Is only moments away.
We look forward to meeting and connecting with you soon..

Reiki Workshops and Treatments with Reiki Master/Teacher Jason Ritchie and Reiki Master/Practitioner Luis Miguel Alves

You have reached this page for a reason.

Perhaps it is not the first time you have read or heard about Reiki. It is said that from the first time you connect with the energy, that your Reiki Guide has stepped into your aura and is slowly nudging you towards the path to spiritual enlightenment.

Reiki can be described as a healing loving touch.

Reiki is unconditional love, the Universal Life force Energy.

Reiki can be divided into two words.

Firstly Rei which means Universal and Ki which is light, energy, chi or Manna.

It is energy channelled from source. The source we all come from connect to and return.
It is as simple as that.

It was re-discovered by Mikao Usui in the late 1800s while he was on a meditation fasting for 21 days on Mount Karuma in Japan. During the 21 days he received an attunement in the form of a bright light, symbols and mantras.

Since then Reiki has been passed down through generations.
Please visit our Reiki Lineage to find out our Reiki (Family Tree)

Many people feel that Reiki is just a form of healing. It is not. It is a way of life.

Adopting Reiki into your life, you are able to heal yourself on a mental emotional, physical and spiritual level. You are also able to send healing to your loved ones as well as every human being who lives on the planet .

Apart from that, Reiki is positive energy that helps you to gain confidence and the ability to believe in the self. Reiki can help you manifest your desires and fulfil your ambitions.

As you work with the energy, your spiritual vibration will lift so that you can access greater depths of who you are as an individual. More than that, you can access your divine purpose.

-His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama-

Why is healing the aura so important?

The Aura is part of you. It is your energy field, an extention of you.
When you receive a cut to the body, sustain an injury or undergo an operation, any where where there is a tear or cut to your body, so to the aura undergos a tear or cut.

This is why healing is so important. Conventional medicine is unable to heal the aura. The only form of healing that can occur in this are is healing light from source through the power of healing.

Let us take an example.
A man sustains an injury of a broken arm. The arm is damaged and there is need for a cut to the body in order to repair the break. Already the man has terrified thoughts and anguish that he has projected into his own aura. What we send out to the aura, we later diject and become. Therefore the aspect of healing the thought process also comes into play. Reiki works on all levels of being, healing what needs to be addressed. Reiki is an intelligence and knows exactly where and what to heal at the given time.

As the knife goes into the skin, the knife also cuts the aura. After the operation the cut is sewn up but the aura is left with a tear or hole. When un dealt with this creates a weakness in the bodies defenses as well as leaving the body open for negative as well as positive influences. If there are a few cuts to the aura, in time the aura becomes weaker and the person becomes affected with various aches and pains. Apart from the physical aspects, mental emotional experiences can cause harm to the auric field.

Lets take this man who has sustained the injury. He is left traumatised. This trauma creates a seed in the auric field. If this man for example then had an argument with a family member, and the argument caused emotional disturbance, so much so that he could not let go of the past, this too would create a seed. Everytime you have an argument, a fight, a fear and doubt a worrying thought pattern and so forth, you are planting seeds into your aura.

As the seeds sit there , they find the weak points. From here they grow roots to find weaknesses in the body. This is where pain and disturbance is felt in the body.
We tend only to go to a doctor when we feel pain, often leaving it til it gets unbearable before we do anything about it.
Orthodox medicine steps in and deals with the physical pain. They do not however deal with the auric field, often the area where the problem manifested.

Auric psychic surgery is an option. We teach this art on Reiki 3 A.R.T. BUT in some cases with students who are advanced and work in the complementry field, teaching it on Reiki 2. We teach you how to enter into the auric field and feel what the problem is. You also work with the client, in a light hypnotherapy session aiding them and working with them to release the problem. Through the hypnotised state your are guided to the area where the problem sits. The student is then shown how to cut into the aura, release the problem and the seed, roots and sensation to then seal the area. Healing is then administered. We have over 20 case studies, where after this treatment the pain is relieved and the client is able to feel a sense of peace.
A full recovery may take a few sessions, but the psychic work on the aura is necessary to treat the whole person.

Today in the uk and further afield, Reiki is used in hospitals, hospices and other medical fields as it is now realised that healing does benefit the client/patient to access wellness.

Your Reiki Questions- 21 days and self Healing, is it necessary?

Reiki 1 is perhaps the most important level of Reiki that there is . Why? Because it is the re-connection process, in teaching you that you are a channel to the uncondional love and light from the Universe. Reiki 1 needs to be thorough in its teaching menthods to teach you how to relax, meditate, visualize, empower yourself and most importantly, heal yourself.

This is not going to be achieved over night. Reiki is not only a form of healing. it is much more than that, it is a path. I will give you a couple of examples to back up my views. I have been teaching Reiki for 10 years. In that time I have kept various case studies of various students who have either worked or not worked upon themselves.

You obviously would be taught that attuning to Reiki 1, your level of consciousness raises a vibration. Therefore giving healing to yourself assists in working with the new vibration and harmonizing the self.

Here is a case study.

On this particular course there were two students. One woman in her mid 40s who had already taken a Reiki 1 course, but felt that she did not get a good experience. (She was not taught to give herself healing in the 21 days).
So on this occaision she took a refresher course. Many of the techniques and practises taught on our workshop were not familar with her, which brings questions to the fore of what Masters and Teachers actually teach on courses.

The second student was an art teacher in a local comprehensive school. She had a creative block and needed to access her sense of creativity so she could teach fulfillingly. Other than that it was a friends illness of Cancer that brought her to the door of Reiki. She wanted to help her.


The workshop brought many mirrors and facets to the surface. Often self healing can bring up the feelings of fight or flight syndrome.

Reiki 1 teaches you to put yourself first. If I use the example of a plane crashing. The pilot tells us to put the mask on ourselves so we are in a position to help others. This is exactly the same. We have to be well within in order to be ready to help others. Reiki 1 teaches you to do something for yourself.

After the course the two students entered into the 21 day cleansing period. Here we ask students to keep a diary for 21 days detailing their self healing, meditations and thoughts and experiences. Within 21 days 90% of students change their life in a more positive direction.

They returned after the 21 days.
**The person who had done the refresher course had not changed.
why?
Because she did not work on herself
She was able to give healing to others, but not to herself.
She commented that she did not feel she deserved to give herself the healing.

**Mikao usui had brought in the 5 reiki principles after he realised that the beggers were returning to the beggers camp where he was working giving healing to the sick. The five reiki principles assisted in giving them self acceptance, and a realization that they deserved.

In our teachings we now ensure that we heal the students thoughts. Using the 5 reiki principles as a template we are able to heal the students individual thoughts assisting in a positive life change.

The second student , the art teacher, gave herself healing everyday and wrote a diary.
Her life changed considerably and enjoyed the sense of peace she found within when giving herself self healing treatments. Her comments were "Ive come home to me"
She found inspiration and created and exhibition of her works.
She found that she was able to work with students better and also projected out her dream of running her own retreat teaching art. On her personal life her life changed considerably for the better. She was able to say the word NO.


Interestingly many students who enter onto our workshops and courses, are PEOPLE PLEASERS. They put everyone elses needs before themselves-WHY?
This is often deriving from a need to be wanted, needed, loved or accepted.

This is why Reiki 1 is so important.

SELF HEALING IN THE 21 DAYS IS PARAMOUNT

Your Reiki questions- Addressing Reiki 1

There are many questions surrounding the method and teaching of Reiki. Numerous people have had differing experiences and questions regarding the way in which Reiki is taught.

Why does each Reiki Master Teach Reiki in a different way?

The difference between Reiki and a Religion is that although there are foundations there is no strict rule that sets a president on the way a Reiki workshop should be taught. Primarily the outline of what Reiki is, the history of Reiki and the hand positions for self healing and healing of others really is a necesesity. Of course receiving the attunements is paramount. Religion tends to be fixed in the way it is taught, yet Reiki is taught from a spiritual perspective which encompases all Religions and belief systems.

Some Reiki Masters adopt their own form of Reiki, with a belief system that they feel comfortable with. Therefore there are around 50 differing forms of Reiki all deriving from the tradional simple form. This is not wrong. It has the Masters essence and belief thus creating a comfortable way forward in their teaching of the workshop.

Personally I feel I need to follow the essence in its pure form. Other than calling it Reiki I dont wish to add something else to its meaning. Reiki means Universal Energy. Therefore for example some people might call it Rainbow Reiki, Dolphin Reiki Wicca Reiki, Violet flame Reiki. I feel by adding the fore running words, the source and energy is restricted, thus falling into the same trap as Religion.

Religion as a rule means simply to "Re- Align" to "Re Connect" thus religion was brought into our lives to teach us that there was a higher being. Something greater than ourselves that connects us the the universal energy. Each Religion has come along and put their stamp on their so called belief. Books have been written thus creating control factors into society and feeding wars and troubles. The viscious circle.

Life is very simple. We are born as channels into this world, even when we were in the womb we are a channel to energy. Yet when we are in the womb we absorb the energy of the mother and all that she experiences. The first three years of a childs life is the most important, as it has not learned to defend itself. The baby soaks up everything the good and bad, the circumstance it finds itself in and this goes towards moulding its personality fears doubts and intelligence. It also affects the channel. This creates blocks. As the child grows up it continues to absorb everything through its aura, personal space/energy field. All thoughts he/she thinks, he/she becomes. A pattern evolves. 90% of us are taught and conditioned to believe that if we want to connect to God or something greater then we have to go to church and believe in Jesus God, Krishna, Buddha etc.. We are not taught that we are a channel for light and are connected to the universe.

The chakras need to be understood and I feel should be taught on a Reiki course as these blockages that come in the form of mental emotional physical or spiritual often form in the chakras prebventing the energy flow to flow freely around the body.
If there is a fear factor for example in the mental emotional framework then there would be a limitation of energy flow through all of the chakras creating imbalances and possible ill health especially after a period of time.

When pain is felt in the body, it is the bodies why of telling the person something is out of balance and something needs to be addressed. The aura is part of the human body. An awareness of auras I feel should also be incorporated into the workshops. Feeling and understanding the aura, what it is and how it works. When a person sustains injury to the physical he/she also sustains injury to the aura. This is why auric healing is important. Additionally when you project out negative thought forms you send them to the universe but also your energy field. If healing is not administered to this area and cut and cleansed then the mind and spirit can absorb this information and you become what you think.

Mikao Usui placed 5 reiki priciples into his work. Many other spiritual belief systems work on similar lines. Really this assists in healing your thoughts. I have created a program where we teach each student to access their thoughts, often from the subconscious state, and turn them into affirmations. Giving Reiki to their thoughts assists in accessing who they are.

Reiki should really be a life changing experience. The majority of our students have had profound awakenings and have gone on to excell in their areas of work. Sometimes, in fact more often than not changing their life for the better. Just being a part of that is deeply rewarding. However we only plant a seed and you the student are the ones who are able to help yourselves.

Learning, we feel should be fun and a memorable occaision, "the day my life improved"
Apart from the traditional and ancient teachings of Reiki we also include some fun activities that assist in accessing the inner child, embracing the leader within and taking charge of your life. Anger management is also encouraged through Reiju empowerments and the Hatsu Rei Ho technique. We include outdoor locations such as the beach, the lakes, the trees and so forth.

Connecting to the Higher-self

Connecting to the Higherself

What is the Higherself?

The higher-self is part of your whole existance yet resides on another vibration that is You. You may understand it as the God self, thus a part of God that is living part of your consciousness state. Some people feel that the Higher-self assists with the element of intuition and inner guidance. You may believe in Angels or Guides, but perhaps their existance is part and parcel of the whole in form of your higherself. This would be true if the higherself was part of God, as that is the highest aspect of Vibration in the Universal Consciousness.

The Higherself is also thought to be energy, powerul vibrating positive energy that contains all your lives that you have lived before as well as those you are actually living through time and space. It is possible that we are living duality lives through a matrix. The Higherself connects to that matrix enabling us to receive messages through meditation and visualiztion.

Recently I took a group of people into meditation to connect them to their higherself. There experiences were profound. Each one connected to the essence and the power of who they are as human beings. Each one saw bright and colourful energy either in the form of golden light or rainbow colours or shapes. When each person connected with the higherself they were able to communicate and become intouch with the energy that they often forget to get in touch with on a daily basis.

In fact how many of you actually trust your intuition? How many of you live your life connected with the higher self. Truefully, very little, a small percentage I feel. The reason is that if we trusted our intuition, we would not worry. We would know and trust what the solution was to our everyday actions and deeds. I feel if we were taught to get in touch with our higherselves from a yound age, then the vibration and consciousness state for mother earth would be in a much more peaceful alignment that where it is right now.

We are taught in a general way that if we want to connect to something higher than ourselves, then we must follow a religion and or a belief system that dictates or shows to us how we must lead our lives to sustain the best life that "God" feels is best for us. Yet could you imagine if that changed? Imagine that from a young age we were taught that we could enter into meditation to connect to a higher consciousness, our higher selves to find the answers to our everyday problems. We have a direct access to God. We are part of that energy. We are the God energy.

The real God energy is uncondtional Love. Unconditional love knows no boundries and makes no restiction. Unconditional means just that. So where in your life do you find an unconditional way of being? What part of the self acts from this point? If we are truely connected to the higherself, then we have found the peace in the world that we all strive to achieve. Reaching the higher self we are able to maintain the equilibrium that fulfils our purpose.


Now here is some food for thought. Could it be that most Mediums actually connect to the higherself to receive messages. The higherself could in actual fact store all the information and imprints of life. Are mediums actually psychically connecting to that imprint to relay messages of hope?
It is said that mediums connect with the Hall of Records found in a library on the etheric realms. Could this actually be our higherself that connects to the etheric realms that relays the information on a psychic level to the medium?

I am interested to hear your comments...

During our connection with the higherself we were also able to connect with previous incarnations that had a reflective appearance on the life that the person was currently living. For example, one gentleman said that he saw me as a boy, a chimney sweep in victorian times. My life then was as a lesson to others. I got stuck up the chimney, and died trapped by the fumes of a fire.
Now this gentleman had not been to the meeting before. This was his first time and he knew nothing of my life. Yet he relaid this to me. This made great sense to me as when I was a boy, I developed childhood athsma. On several occaisions I also found myself involved with fires, on a train, in a building which had re-awakened a fear, yet I was unsure of where it stemmed. Clearly he was tapping into my higherself from his higherself to relay the message. On hearing this, it gave clearence and healing to a past incarnacion.


Connecting to the higherself is incredibly powerful and something I feel we must all learn to acknowledge.

The OM- Meaning and Origins

Namaste-Its meanings and Origins

Reiki Share- Costa del Sol

There is a reason you have connected with this group. It is either that you just wish to network for your own network of light, or it is because you want to share your light with others likeminded. But what brought you to Reiki in the first place?
My forthcoming book details my journey in greater detail, but as a preview I will share an experience with you. I would also ask you all to write your calling to the Reiki path as it can act as a catalyst for others to find their truth of who they really are.
I have now taught Reiki workshops for 10 years. In that time I have taught 300 or so students. I would say that 85% have experienced a crisis of sorts whether it is the ending of a relationship, a death of family member or partner, an illness, a near death experience, a major job change, a traumatic experience and so forth before embarking upon a course. There always appears to be a trigger for the calling to the path of Reiki.
My life is no exception. In 1999 I had a bad accident on a train that caused damage to my left arm. Strangely enough it is said that we receive from the left, from spirit so in a way they were preparing me for my path. It was also to acknowledge to get in touch with the feminine artistic side of my personality, which in many ways gave birth to my writing and teaching abilities. A series of events unfolded which enabled me to form a circle. The first people who attended the circle were three women, who had all taken Reiki. That was the first time I had heard of it. It is always said that Reiki finds you when you are ready. So really since then my life has never been the same.
After Reiki entered my life, the connection with spirit re.entered my life, or should I say it re-surfaced with my hightened awareness. It was always there, I just wasnt aware of it, or in fact I supressed it. Reiki 1 is really about healing the self. I realized at this stage I didnt know who I was or where I was going. But Reiki gave me the power to follow my calling and my truth.
From taking Reiki 1 I studied counseling which then took me to volunteer with an AIDS charity. My spirit/Reiki guide presented itself and would appear with a strong scent of a particular flower. This scent became very powerful and created a network of light as I became a catalyst for lightworkers on the Costa del Sol and beyond.
It would appear that I became the pebble that was dropped into the pond, and now I watch the ripples expand outwards. This is what makes teaching so rewarding. After each person embarks on a course, it has an affect on those close to them or their friends, family etc..
So many people have changed their life in such a positive way.
But what is Reiki?
In may ways it is not only a healing source, and really it is often mis understood. Reiki is a form of re-connection. It strips away the onion layers of the person we became to enable us to accept and love our true self. It un blocks the past so you can embrace living for every day.
If we look at the truth of Mikao Usui, the reason he used the 5 reiki principles, were so people would learn to heal their thoughts. Our thoughts ultimately create our destiny. Giving and channeling unconditional love to our thoughts is a powerful way forward in embracing who we are.
Often however the power of healing our thoughts is often over looked and Reiki is often only taught as a healing technique of hands on or in the aura. There is so much more to this incredible energy deriving from the Universe.
Much more Reiki is a portal of Light. The symbols that are used in Reiki 2 and 3 enable you to reach a new height of awareness and connection to the higher self . Energy portals of light are very real. They take the student/client to their hightened sensitivity to access their inner power.
Many students have now become good mediums and Im sure will go on to become great mediums. Some have gone on to become writers, artists, builders, nurses and so forth.
Not everyone who takes a Reiki course will follow the path of Reiki. I see it that once that portal is opened a pathway is presented. That pathway could take the student to a new passage way in life, always for the highest good.

All students who walk the path instinctively know when it is time to raise their energy with Reiki. The teacher that presents him/herself is brought to you for a reason. Each teacher plants a seed, but you must remember it is up to you the student, the practitioner, to work on yourself, the give yourself healing and light to your thoughts and the body mind and soul.

Too many students embark upon a course, because they initially want to help others and save the world. But the message I constantly give, is that you must heal and love yourself first before you can heal others. Release the inner thought pattern of not deserving the energy, because you are the healer, and recognise that you need to take time out for you.

My life has been inspired by so many people including many of my clients, who many became students of Reiki themselves then went on to open centres, run workshops and pass on the message of light.

So please add your experience and lets share our thoughts and our calling to enable others to heal, love and believe in themselves.

Namaste
Jason

Reiki 1 workshops (Costa del Sol- Malaga-Torremolinos-Benalmadena-Fuengirola-Coin-Marbella-Gibraltar-)

Taking those all important steps towards the spiritual self, is often a hard decision to make. Often a life changing occurrence has occurred within your life, to assist you in making those all important positive changes towards an aspect of light and renewal.

Many people have experienced, hardships, relationship breakups, illness , the loss of a loved one or even a near death experience. It is at these low points in life that we begin to re-evaluate our lives and feel and know that there is something better.

Too many people are “people pleasers” and do not give enough time to themselves.
Knowing that you deserve better and that you can do something to help yourself as well as others, is indeed a gift to accept into your unique way of existence.
Reiki one is about finding that time.
Time for the self
Creating a balance within your life, so that you are in a position to help yourself and to help others.

It must be acknowledged, that Reiki is not just a form of healing. It is a path.

Fulfilling your lifes purpose really comes to the fore when you have accessed the first major step towards enlightenment. That first step occurs through Reiki 1.

Reiki 1 is called the foundation maker.
To enable yourself to grow spiritually you need a firm foundation to work upon.
Reiki can give you that. It plants a seed, so you may grow and blossom into the person you are, not the person others want you to be.

Reading this page today, helps you to acknowledge, that that all important step forward
Is only moments away.
We look forward to meeting and connecting with you soon..

Reiki Workshops on the Costa del Sol

You have reached this page for a reason.

Perhaps it is not the first time you have read or heard about Reiki. It is said that from the first time you connect with the energy, that your Reiki Guide has stepped into your aura and is slowly nudging you towards the path to spiritual enlightenment.

Reiki can be described as a healing loving touch.

Reiki is unconditional love, the Universal Life force Energy.

Reiki can be divided into two words.

Firstly Rei which means Universal and Ki which is light, energy, chi or Manna.

It is energy channelled from source. The source we all come from connect to and return.
It is as simple as that.

It was re-discovered by Mikao Usui in the late 1800s while he was on a meditation fasting for 21 days on Mount Karuma in Japan. During the 21 days he received an attunement in the form of a bright light, symbols and mantras.

Since then Reiki has been passed down through generations.
Please visit our Reiki Lineage to find out our Reiki (Family Tree)

Many people feel that Reiki is just a form of healing. It is not. It is a way of life.

Adopting Reiki into your life, you are able to heal yourself on a mental emotional, physical and spiritual level. You are also able to send healing to your loved ones as well as every human being who lives on the planet .

Apart from that, Reiki is positive energy that helps you to gain confidence and the ability to believe in the self. Reiki can help you manifest your desires and fulfil your ambitions.

As you work with the energy, your spiritual vibration will lift so that you can access greater depths of who you are as an individual. More than that, you can access your divine purpose.

Reiki Treatments- Fuengirola. Marbella, Torremolinos, Malaga

Luis and I are available for Reiki Treatments along the Costa del Sol. You can either visit us at our Centre in Fuengirola, or you can book us to visit you in the comfort of your own home.

Your wellbeing is our Greatest Priority.

We offer a selection of Reiki Treatments to Suit your individual needs.
Reiki helps problems such as stress related conditions, depression, nervous disorders
Cancer and Chronic Illnesses, or even as a tonic to boost your wellbeing.

Reiki is used all over the World. It is now available in some hospitals, most Hotels and Spas, Hairdressers, dentists, Hospices

It is accepted and recognised as a Complementary Therapy that assists in the healing of the whole person.

What is a Reiki Treatment?

Firstly we give you the opportunity to off load any problems or issues within a safe environment as well as taking some personal details.
Reiki works upon your intention. The Practitioner asks you for your intention that you hope to gain from the healing session for the benefit of your healing experience.

You are then shown the healing bed and asked to lie down. The healing is carried out while you are fully clothed, therefore it is suggested that you wear comfortable clothing.
You will only be asked to remove your shoes and heavy Jewellery.

The Practitioner then will show you the hand positions he will be using to aid your healing and wellbeing. He will then explain that Reiki is channelled unconditional love that flows through him, his hands and through each of your chakras (energy centres).
Healing also takes place in the aura.
The aura is your energy field, often where dis-ease manifests in the form of mental/emotional issues.
In that time the Reiki Practitioner may feel or intuitively connect to the area that needs to be addressed to aid your own healing process..

In that time you may feel deep relaxation or even enter sleep state.
The treatment usually lasts 45 minutes

You will be gently woken up and given a glass of water
Then the treatment is discussed.

As with all complementary therapies one treatment may not be sufficient to heal your issues/problems/ill health.
In standard practices it is suggested to have 3 Reiki Treatments fairly close together
Eg. Once a week, for three weeks.

The Price for a full Reiki Treatment is 40 euros
However for Chronic or Terminal cases we only ask for a donation

The AGE of AQUARIUS and Reiki

Now that we have entered the age of AQUARIUS, there is more aspects of unsettlement in the world. Those not aware or in touch with themselves or the world in which they live are feeling a sense of loss and confusion. The global financial markets and world recession is kickstarting the lack of focus in todays society. Yet what is happening is happening to enlighten and awaken the human race as we have now entered into the new age of Aquarius.

We are meeting more individuals who are seeking spiritual guidance and counseling as well as healing. There are many who wish to change their lives, many of whom who seek a new way of being but at the same time assisting with the awakening and healing of the new consciousness for man and the world.

Reiki is but one pathway towards the awakening process. However Luis and I are all too aware of the need for more lightworkers to assist with the ascension for the planet. If this world is going to survive then the awareness and consciousness that co-exisits here must ascend and change its present cycle.

There are many people who need to be reasured that life will continue and that the world can be a safe place to live. There is a future for us all.

We meet so many people who are "people pleasers". These are people who are eager to help others, but give little time for themselves. Not giving time for the self only creates stress and lack of focus. Often your energy is depleated.

Now is the time to recognise that you do have a purpose and a natural ability in helping others through the power of healing and unconditional love.

If you want to know more, about how you can make use of your life in a positive way, learn how you can give time for yourself, but still in a position to help others without getting drained, then contact us.

Visit our website www.alternative-world.org Also take time to read this blog. There are many comments from former students, photographs from workshops and recommendations from clients and students. You will also find some inspiring case studies.

The age of AQUARIUS- 14th february 2009

The Aquarian alignment 14th February 2009

We measure our global sense of both space (latitude and longitude) and time (universal time - UT or GMT) from the prime meridian located at Greenwich, England. So we can perceive the collective influence of this momentous astrological event by looking at the alignment from this globally ‘centered' perspective.

When we do something extraordinary and exquisite emerges

At dawn on 14th February the day dedicated to St Valentine, the patron saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the twelfth house of spiritual transformation.

Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song called Aquarius, brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:

When the Moon is in the seventh house

and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

Then peace will guide the planets

and love will steer the stars

At dawn on 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

The Aquarian chart of 14th February reveals an incredible concentration of cosmic influences blending with the energies of Aquarius in the twelfth house. Expansive Jupiter and energetic Mars are aligned with the higher purpose of the North Node. The presence of Chiron the wounded healer offers us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long. Neptune emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice. And the presence of the radiant Sun enlightens the entire alignment.

Mercury also in the twelfth house but just beyond the cusp in Capricorn, allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and anchor the Shift throughout our global structures and institutions.


The Moon in Libra in the seventh house emphasizes harmonious real -ationships.

Venus in Aries in the first house energizes and empowers dynamic co-creativity.

And whilst Saturn the great task master in opposition to Uranus the unexpected awakener is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the dregs of the unsustainable old paradigm reluctantly give way to the untested hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.

At 7.25am on 14th February - and for the 18 minutes of the alignment, I invite you, in the universal heart, to add your own intention for love and peace and to co-create the dawning of the Age of Aquarius to that of the Cosmos. In whatever way feels appropriate for you, you may choose to align with7.25am (UT) or 7.25am your own local time energizing a wave of intention that will surge around the Earth.

Reiki 2 workshop and Psychic Surgery

Having taught Reiki for the last 10 years, I have become aware of the needs of my students. Evolution also plays a part in how receptive students are as a whole. Since teaching with my partner, Luis, we continue to become aware of our students needs and the growing demand for additional development and awareness in working with energy and unconditional love.

We have therefore adapted the courses we teach. We always focus upon meeting the needs of each student. Many of our students are therapists, teachers, mediums, holistic workers, nurses, doctors, artists or those in society that are providing a valuable service. With this knowledge and the changing attitudes and global shift of consciousness we realize there are greater needs to be met.

We now teach psychic surgery on Reiki level 2. This we usually teach on Reiki 3 , however the students now are practicing this technique which is assisting greatly with their clients wellbeing. With recession depression, this technique helps to release the primary cause so that the client is then able to accept the reiki treatments with ease. This also speeds up the process of healing thus, the client is able to embrace a new way of being at a much more rapid rate than before.

If you wish to know more about our spiritual and healing work here on the Costa del Sol then please e.mail info@alternative-world.org or visit our website www.alternative-world.org

We also run workshops in Melilla (Spanish Enclave) in North Africa, Villa La Paz in Coin, Andalucia, Miramar Las Palmeras, Fuengirola. We are also available to run workshops at other locations along the Costa del Sol, give talks and presentations about Reiki, or available for Reiki Treatments either in Fuengirola or mobile.

We are also available to run workshops in other parts of the World. If you are interested in our work and wish to book us in your country, then please send any information and details to info@alternative-world.org

Celebrating change in the lives of those present. Reiki workshops in Melilla. Feb 2009

Over the last few months we have become aware of the growing amount of people who are striving towards changing their current lives to something better, yet initially they are unaware of what may lie around the corner or indeed fear the future.

We can either project out doubt and fear of the unknown or we can learn to come to terms with what might be around the corner. Yet the growing numbers of business minded people who have worked in the corporate business world, where life seemed to be stable and rewarding are now faced with instability and uncertanity.

However this is incredibly powerful and a positive way forward. The growing numbers of people who are being made redundant, are left with time on their hands, often with a substantial payoff that tides them over until they find what they are looking for.

However this time off is crucial. Wasting time and just procrastinating, with in time, affects the self esteem, confidence and self belief patterns in the mind. We know and understand that the mind is a powerful tool. It needs to be used otherwise it becomes full of the past, the worries and dubts of the future enter and cause a distraction and feeling of loss of direction.

Therefore it is important to keep the mind active and stimulated.
Yet there is also the amount of time that you may now have in the time you have been given to re-evaluate your life. You can either worry yourself into a nervous state, or you can look at your life and realize that if you are going to move forward in this world, then you as an individual have to change your perceptions in life in order to survive in this ever changing world.

You have been chosen by a higher source to re-evaluate your life. You have been given time to change. Why?
The world is changing and the evolutionary process is going through a new cycle.
REMAINING ON YOUR OLD VIBRATION OF EXISTANCE NO LONGER SERVES YOUR NEEDS. Therefore something has to change.

Firstly I wish to explain that we come into the world as channels to this incredibly powerful universal energy that we call Reiki. It actually means "Universal Energy".
I believe and passionatly feel that when we come to earth to live a human existance, that even when we are in the womb, we start to absorb the positive and negative energies that surround our mother and her enviroment. When we are born, the first three years of a childs life are crucial. A child of that age has not learnt to put up barriers or defend itself. It is vunerable and open to all emotions. Those emotions go towards the make up their personality as well as the enviroment in which they grow up in.
As a child grows up their parents, teachers and elders influence their belief systems, and the way in which they think and behave. As a parent you must realize that bringing a child into the world carries an enormous responsibility.

As the child grows up, society as a whole teaches us that "if we want to connect to the divine, then we have to go to church. There we are guarenteed a place in heaven". We are taught to recite the lords prayer, to live by the ten commandments or any other belief system that carries a similar lesson. We are not taught that we are all channels of light that each have the power to believe in ourselves, heal ourselves and others.

We as human beings are incredibly powerful.

Reiki in many ways is the re-connection to the source. Through your life you have blocked your chakras with positive and negative emotions and experiences, living but only existing without realizing why you are really here.

Each time you have had a cut to the body, your aura is also torn, creating a whole or damage thus creating negative thoughts and feelings to flood into your being.

Reiki can help you to heal yourself and your aura, thus creating a sustained healthy body.

Reiki can help you impove your thought process thus having more focus and direction in your life.

Channel energy into your thoughts as well as learn to heal your body mind and spirit on all levels of being, whether its the mental, emotional, physical or spiritual.

Read some of the comments on this blog to give you the self confidence, or inspiration to realize that change is possible. When you change your life, your world changes around you.

What Credit Crunch?

The media, government institutions, even Religion are all focusing upon the so called credit crunch creating hysteria and a belief that everyone are losing their jobs, unable to afford mortgages and lives are spirelling out of control.

Can you not see the Governments are trying to brain wash us into a false sense of security. They are feeding our fears to create a recession. How often do we turn on the television or read in the paper the positive news that thousands of people were employed, that new businesses are opening ?

Creating a negative thought pattern into society creates a negative response to life.

We have the power to over ride this belief system

We have the power to know that we can make a difference to our lives-in a positive way

Our lives are changing that is for sure, but we can all have a positive change in our life.

We have a self belief that we can survive

Rather than allow the everyday barrage of negative thought forms to enter your mind, tell yourself each morning

"I am Powerful"

"I have an abundance of clients enabling me to offer the best service I can"

"I have an abundance of prosperity in all areas of my life"


It is one aspect to say positive words and phrases, it is another to believe them, and most importantly we can use and channel reiki into our thoughts to raise the vibration of them to create abundance.

Yes, Mikao Usui established the 5 Reiki Principles. But he did not create them, to be used lightly. They are there to intergrate into society and into the life of each individual that follows the Reiki Path. These were established after working in the beggars camp. After he had healed them, he realized that they were returning, why, because he had not taught them to value their self worth.

Within our Reiki Workshops, we not only teach you to heal yourself and other, but we also teach you to heal your thoughts to create your new powerful and positive personality. A manifestation that assists you on the new vibration that will work with you.

Interested to know more?

If so we are available for lectures about Reiki and how you can turn your life around and overcome the credit crunch. We also teach "Corporate Reiki", ideal for business institutions, office workers, football clubs, team building and so forth.

please e.mail info@alternative-world.org

We are available to work anywhere in the World, where there is a need.

Reiki workshops for personal from 1-1 to groups to 6 persons.(mixed)
Reiki workshops for Child and mother/Father -strengthening the bond
Reiki workshops for Teenagers- Expressing your true potencial

Reiki workshops for lesbians (Women Only)

Reiki workshops for Transgendered (Transgendered Only)

What makes our Reiki Workshops different?

Freedom of Expression enables a release within the Solar Plexus. Too many people suppress un wanted emotions for long time periods which cause mental, emotional, physical and spiritual blockages, thus preventing healing from taking place.

From experience of teaching the workshops have evolved to incorporate dance and movement through self expression as well as laughter therapy. Both enable the student to get in touch with the inner child and express the self freely. It also enables us as Masters and Teachers to attune the student at a higher frequency thus enabling them to move forward positively and effectively.

There is a technique called Hatsu Rei Ho. This is also practised in conjunction with these exercises. It is a Japanese Buddhist start up technique which assists in banishing unwanted emotions to attatch to the aura as well as the internal body.

Here are some comments from former students:

Reiki 1, Spain held at Villa La Paz , Coin

After flying in from the UK I must say I was pretty anxious about what to expect from my stay at Villa La Paz, and the Reiki course, especially as this was the first course I have taken part-in which was not only about feeling and emotions but touch. What I found over the two days spent with Jason and Luis, was a sense of warmth, understanding and honesty - their style was to build foundations, layering the relationships between both teacher and student and students with other students, so that there became an openness between the whole group. With this sense of trust came, laughter, tears, confusion and clarity; helping us find stillness and silences that demonstrated how we could heal and nurture ourselves as well as others.

My time spent at the Centre was a unique time for me, and I will always remember the morning of Day Two when I woke with anger, tears and emotions that had been building inside me for sometime, this was greeted with open arms by Jason and Luis and the rest of the group, it was so cleansing. And finally how could I forget the fun around the pool, dancing around completely carefree and in the complete moment with people who had been total strangers only 24 hours before. You really do seem to have a unique style which works for me.

All the best for 2009 and see you soon!

Amanda

Hi Guys

Life has been treating us very well so far this year. Spirits are up and Reiki keeps on popping up automatically. I love it!!

The family life has settled a bit after Karin’s en made redundant and she is a lot more relaxed. As well her back problems are getting a lot better. No operation or mayor treatments are involved so far, must be the Reiki and massage I do on her!! (I’m just joking, but then, maybe I am not!) The kiddos, what is there to say, angels they are. As you can see I am doing well.

Thank you for the impression you made on my life. I do honour my teacher through life and you guys have a special place in my heart. I hope to join you again in the near future.

Lots of love from me, Barre.

Reiki and hunger

Reiki is not just about finding the self. Reiki is abut connecting with the whole. The whole is an interpretation of oneness. If we are all one then the images you see down the side of this blog will draw you closer. They will tell you something about yourself. They will reach deep inside your soul and assist with you to just stop for one moment. In that moment put yourself in that predicament. Look into the eyes of truth. The child can not hide their feelings. AS you are part of the whole, you too can feel what they feel. Are you going to allow the hunger in the world to continue? Are you going to let this poor orphan child suffer any longer?
Remember the 5 reiki principles?
The third principle is about honoring your teachers. This picture of this orphan, is a teacher. He is teaching you something important about yourself. Do you really appreciate what you have in your life? I feel the aspect of appreciation comes into play. This week perhaps it would be beneficial in becoming aware of how much you throw away in the dustbin. How much food is thrown away, and unwanted, when half the world is starving. Thousands of children are dying daily.
Can we as a whole do something? Are you going to allow this teacher to fade into the back of your mind? Or do you feel something rattle within yourself, a knowing an urge to help him, to improve his life and the thousands, millions like him?
One could argue that it is fate that his life is how and where it is, but it is also fate that you are looking into his eyes today and learning an important lesson about yourself.

" We are all called to live authentically, to leave a trail of soul prints wherever we go, like a lingering fragrance. We are so much more than we think we are. The world is waiting for you to shine & for the imprint of your soul print. "



"Live in the true and the whole of life becomes true."- Then Pathway of Roses"

"Look to the East"

YES WE CAN!!

"YES WE CAN!"-Barack Obama

Barack Obama, has to be the freshest, stimulating and the most empowering positive person that has stepped into the public eye in the arena of politics . He is a rare breed that dares to speak out against the "Establishment" that has for too long governed the minds of men. In many ways he is giving back the power to the people, enabling them to have a voice and begin to believe in their own truth. For too long the veils of secrecy have hidden the souls of the masses. He now steps out as a beacon of light giving hope not only for America, but the nations around the world.

I use his power as an affirmation, as a stance and an example as he is someone I feel with a presence. Yet we all have a presence and a voice.

As many people begin to awaken, an era of self development and awareness steps in giving the human spirit a wake up call.

I continue to be deeply inspired by many students and clients alike, that the energy that we channel, can and does change lives. In order to find the self or to begin the journey of self discovery, one important ingredient is always added to the recipe of success. That all important ingredient is what encourages us all to develop and change our lives for the better. The ingredient is FOCUS.

Focus enables us to believe in something that we want. It ignites a passion and a thrive for change. It brings in new hope and belief.

The focus of living, of connecting, of being a being of light, has been brushed aside, with the essence of unconditional love swept from our society.

But there is hope.

Many times within workshops or courses I have heard people say, "I cant do that". The moment you send that message to the brain, the mind begins to believe it. It has an overall effect on the body, creating a limiting process. When you send out constant reminders to the self that you cant do something, You believe it. Yet with focus and intention , they realize that they can.

"I believe" was given to us by Martin Luther King, who, perhaps was born before his time. Yet he gave people hope. Many musicians and writers were inspired by his words. Perhaps Barack Obama is the freshest and most invigorating person to step outside of America since then.

Too many people are focusing upon what might happen in years to come. Dont give it energy. Live in the moment, live with the belief, Yes we can!

Her clients as well as her boss are now about to embark upon Reiki courses. So luis and I will be teaching courses in Melilla from the 26th-1st July. These courses are taught in Spanish (en español).

Students Comments about Reiki - Life after Reiki Course

Guided by Jason and Luis, my initiation into Reiki was a most beautiful experience.

Transforming dark into light has not been easy, for me, but is ultimately incredibly liberating. .
I am still in the middle of my transformation, but already I have been able to experience greater joy and felt an inner peace.
Ive also practiced on a few friends and they tell me they feel renewed after their session, so I must be doing something right..
Thank you Jason for your incredible generosity and Luis for your kindness, my life is all the richer having known you.
With love
Mia

Life after taking a Reiki Course

My life after Reiki. By Tracey Ann Edwards

In 2004 I started having panic attacks after a near death experience , as a form of self help I began having Reiki treatments, after which time I took my Reiki 1 degree. I went through a very turbulent time after this, it seemed to open up old wounds and release energies that I had been storing for a lifetime. But on a plus side I started opening up spiritually becoming more aware and intuitive with people and situations. On many occasions I would becoming increasingly conscious that I was working with guides and felt protected, by what I then felt as angel presences, but now realise after working on Reiki 2 that these feelings were of spirit activity.

After about 2 years I felt I was ready to progress to the next level, but after doing my reiki 2 back in 2006 I didn’t feel any different and after much deliberation felt that perhaps I was not ready to continue the next level of training after all. As I still needed to deal with issues and personal matters first that I hadn’t expelled completely, so I carried on working on myself using the Reiki 1 techniques.

During this time I started working on readings, I do not read traditional tarot cards and even now I do not understand the meanings of the tarot but I use the cards to meditate on a situation and give readings from the images and feelings I receive when holding the card and concentrating on a situation. I felt a stronger connection the more I worked, but my confidence issue only allowed me to do readings via the internet. I still felt doubtful of any action I took and had no self belief that in fact things I was “hearing” and “seeing” were not actually all in my imagination and were given to me through spirituality methods.

Leading up to the middle of 2007 it seemed that everything was falling apart our house was burgled, we had terrible money problems, and was struggling keeping the house going and school fees etc. I started to work on ways to earn money but instead ended up spreading myself too thinly, not concentrating on just one main area or putting all my positive energy into just one or two projects rather than nine or ten ! Relationships within my family starting to take its toll, all in all it was a very bleak time. We decided to sell our villa and rent an apartment . The next three months saw us out of our financial worries and the negative suppression surrounding our family started to clear.

What I had then realised, is that during the “testing” time I did not work with my reiki techniques as I was “too busy” to think about it, so everything was getting on top of me, rather than taking one day at a time and living in the now, I was looking towards trying to fix tomorrow and not thinking about myself today .

Once again I put all my energies into the home and taking time for myself and my family, living by the 5 reiki principles of reiki 1, meditating everyday and realised how much happier I was and how much more differently I was looking at things and what was happening to my life when I did. I decided to take my reiki 2 again as a refresher as I felt it was not the right time when I had taken it in 2006 . I contacted Jason explaining that I felt I needed to do the Reiki 2 again rather than do my 3rd Masters degree. He emailed me back and said it was on the following weekend leaving me no time to change my mind through insecurities or confidence issues so I booked it there and then.

WOW… is all I can say, I know 100% that this was the right time for me to take this course again, I felt more at peace with myself, more comfortable and the information seemed to be absorbed much deeper and with more understanding than before. I took the course with two other ladies, all there for different reasons. Linda and Tara. The weekend for me was filled with emotion, tears, laughter, happiness, doubt, and with eagerness to learn everything. All feelings rolled into 48 hours. It was intense, emotional, enlightening but above all a beautiful experience that you cannot truly appreciate unless you are going through it personally. It left me with a feeling of complete openness and clarity, everything seemed so clear and unclouded.

It was amazing how things started happening so quickly. A cliché but it really was and still is a roller coaster ride ! During one of the meditations at the weekend course . I was shown myself in a room with young people teaching them the art of meditation . On the Monday after the weekend, it was so clear that this was what I wanted to do, that I sat for the next few days designing the flyers, getting them printed , finding a venue and distributing them and succeeded in all four within the next 10 days. The classes are starting in March, with a fantastic response, so much so that I have been asked to do adult classes too.

It has helped restore my confidence and self esteem almost immediately too. On the Wednesday, 3 days after the course, I received an email from the Guinness Book of Records to do the hair and makeup for them at a celebrity photo shoot in Spain the following weekend. Which will be in the next edition of the book coming out in September 2008. I was obviously nervous and had a very very light anxiety attack, but by using the methods we learnt at the weekend I managed to calm myself down and it did not flare up into a full blown panic attack. Once I was at the shoot it all went fantastically well, so much so that the client wants me to work with her again when she is next over in Spain for a reality television show about her. The following Friday I had a wedding hair and makeup trial which I would normally be worrying about, concerned that I would not be good enough or that the bride would not like it, but I had no problems at all and went in and did it with no issue, before I even finished, the bride to be, said that she wanted to book me, as she felt comfortable with me and that she has seen some editorial work that I had done and couldn’t believe that I could be nervous about meeting people for the first time as she thought my work was outstanding. ( that was a huge confidence boost) !

Over the following days I had a total of twenty-six confirmed weddings, book in for this coming year and 2009. ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE. I should have that tattooed on my body somewhere, where I can remind myself.

It is not all about monetary and vocational wealth though. The relationship between myself and my husband has always been strong, and even though he does not practise spirituality he has never disbelieved it and has always been respectful of my interest and participation in it. However since doing the Reiki 2, he has become more aware of the power that it generates. My mother recently had to undergo an MRI scan on a possible tumour in her foot, the first thing he said was “Don’t worry babe, you send her some healing” fortunately it turned out she has a rare case called Avascular Necrosis and not a tumour as they first thought ( again the power of positive thought) … A few days later a friend of his had premature twins one of which was in intensive care weighing only a few pounds again he called me to tell me, that he has told the husband to have positive thoughts and asked me “if I could do my thing” ! Both babies are now doing well putting on weight and making the way in the right direction of coming home. Jasmin my eldest often asks me to do reiki on her if she is feeling a little under the weather, whereas my five year just walks around going cross eyes reciting “Ohm” with a big grin on her face…!  So the light is spreading even within our little family unit !

I have met a beautiful person through doing the course from whom I am learning different aspects and growing spiritually even by just listening to her experiences and knowledge. I am starting to understand the different sensations I am feeling, whether they are stronger since doing the reiki 2 or whether I am feeling different energies, I am yet still to discover but I will eventually. Which leads me to another thing that has come from my reiki 2 experience which is patience. What we are doing is not something that can be rushed or learnt from a text book, it is a lifetime of knowledge and experiences that make us into mediums, healers, light workers, psychics etc Patience is the key to most things including our spiritual growth. As a typical Gemini I used to want it all now, or yesterday preferably, but I have learnt that this is not the case and cannot be this way if we truly want fulfilling self development.

In a nut shell Reiki 2 has been the platform for me, from where everything can grow from . Like a house needs foundations, Reiki is my foundation . This is the start for me, and from hereon in I can only grow and expand spiritually. I believe that the journey begins when you complete Reiki and mine is just starting.

Mal Practice and Mis information

Malpractise and Mis information


The article I wrote , the second half of the Frank Arjava Petter interview appeared to spark off an important element that I feel I need to address this week.
I recieved a handful of e.mails from one particular "Doctor" in the week who has taken the law into his own hands by handing out mis information about Reiki. Due to his Religious background, he believes that Reiki is the work of Saten. We are all entitled to our beliefs and Religious backgrounds, but I feel when it affects ones clients, then it is a different matter altogether. It is only what I can deem as Mal Practise.

This Doctor works in the area of "Alternative Health". I find it hard to understand that when a person is following "Alternative" ethics, that he allows his own Religion to dictate his wellbeing for his clients. Now if you were to have read the articles following the interview with Frank Arjava Petter, one would not see anything hurtful or harming. It was self explanetry.
But this "Doctor" has appeared to have scanned the article only picking out key words.

"Mediums" was one word. Apparently this is the work of the devil. Receiving a message from my grandmother and talking with the dead, apparently is the devils work. Amazing to think that we are in the year 2008 and still there are people out there who walk around with blinkers on. Apparently talking to the Spirit of Jesus is not talking to the dead, because Jesus is alive. So too is the spirit of my Grandmother. She too is an essence of God. We all are.

I asked Frank Arjava Petter about other forms of Reiki, thus Angel Reiki, Wicca Reiki and Rainbow Reiki. This Doctor, of course picked up on the word "Wicca" that immedietly told him that all healers are witches. Wicca as I explained to him is perhaps one of the oldest Religions in the world. It is part of the Pagan Religion who worship the elements, seasons, nature spirits, the God and Godess energies of the earth. It is connected to all that is. One would have thought that he would have known this as he especially works with herbs and the elements from the earth.

He also informed me that he carried out a study of Reiki. I dont know where because all he came up with were "Dangers of Reiki" and what the Bible says about it according to his Faith. It is this information that he not only believes is true, but is handing out to his clients, without them even asking for information. He tells them that the Bible has the answer.
Now I feel this is very dangerous to hand out information that could affect the wellbeing of his clients. One particular woman, who also happens to be a friend of mine was given the misinformation. She also feels that this "Doctor" is not aware of what he is doing and is unethical. He has also caused her to re-think her treatments and go elsewhere. Maybe that is a blessing.

I feel that unless a person is knowledgable within a certain area, they should leave them well alone. The makings of a good therapist is someone who has compassion and understanding for the client as well as an awareness of what is beneficial for the wellbeing. Frightening and alarming the client is well out of order.

Last week I mentioned how Religion can be used as a tool for Power and Control. In some ways this is an example of that. This particular faith believes that only the bible has the answer and all other methods are the work of Saten. This Doctor appears so conditioned and blinkered and refuses to see the otherside of the coin.
There are many people who go to church who are open and accepting of faith and spiritual healing. Reiki is also apart of that. Its origins stem from Japan and Tibet.

Reiki is unconditional Love channelled from Source. How can love, unconditional love, be the work of the Devil?

In many ways I feel that the Devil, Saten, and negative energy is just a state of mind, I feel it is a fear factor, placed into society to control the masses.

Sound, healing words through rythum and sound

Music is an upliftment to the soul. Listen to these worlds and let the music heal your soul. Music is energy. Words are energy.
We are all one energy. The universe provides what we need to hear.



Music and art. Art reflects sound. Sound is music to the ears of those whom Listen.
Sound helps to manifest new vibrations on energy. Together with Reiki, energy portals are accessed to connect with greater awareness.



Om is the connection to all that is. Om teaches us to use Mantras. We can use mantras in Reiki. Each symbol you are taught has a Mantra. When sung the Mantras help you to meditate and connect. Each mantra carries a unique vibration.



Chanting is a form of communication with the spirits. We can also learn to chant Reiki Mantras or other Mantras from other cultures. Intergrating other methods of spiritual communication further teaches us that we are all one. We all have that unique connection that leads us back to the same place.

Luis Alves Soul Mandala (Reiki Practitioner and trainer)


Dance and Movement is beneficial for improving the self esteem and confidence within students. It also enables free and self expression.




Reiki Students January 2008 (Reiki 2 17th and 18th January)
At The Alternative World Healing Centre we feel it is beneficial to incorporate a balance of energies when healing the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual bodies of the student. We incorporate laughter and dance therapies into the course for soul development. Reiki is not just a therapy, it is a way of life. As one embarks upon a course, they also discover new parts of the self. The new part helps to create a new way of being. Reiki opens doors to the soul. The soul when accessed creates an abundance of possibilities awaiting to be accessed.




We give students time to practise treatments on "Bodies" who willingly come forward. We also offer support within the "Alternative World Healing Circle (Serenity)".
We teach students how to connect with source as well as teaching them about compassion, understanding, listening and empathy.



Congratulations to Tracey Ann Edwards, Tara Van Gaal (Spain) and to Linda Dow (Scotland/Spain) who all completed their Reiki level 2, 17th and 18th January 2008




Congratulations to Josefina Van Gaal who successfully completed her Reiki 1 course on the 26th and 27th January 2008. She stands between her first two clients, "bodies" Malachy and Tina.



Congratulations to Silvia, who successfully completed her Reiki 1 degree.
Her mother was so proud of her. Here she is, below. She noticed the change within her daughter, the following day after the Reiki attunement. She came back after 21 days, with her mother as she wanted to say "Thank you" for helping her daughter to improve her life.

SHAYAN ITALIA - Reflection

You are the Light of the world

Here's a beautiful message on Being a Light - go to www.lightmovie.com - turn
up your speakers and enjoy the words and music.

Here are the words - to the message:

You are the Light of the World

.and as such you are here to use your light to heal, transform and transfigure anything unlike peace, love, harmony and goodwill.

That we all may have moments of peace and more peace.

Rather than impose your will upon conditions of lack, disease, or suffering choose instead to think, feel and emote from an outcome in which anything unlike what is preferred simply does not exist.

It cannot exist in your experience if you decide not to entertain it.

In doing so, you create a Quantum overlay of preferred possibilities and probable futures.

You are the Light of the World.

You do not need the world's permission to shine your light upon the dark.

The light releases you from joining others in seductive, lower energy vibrations. Use your light to simply transform lower energies.

This is how you heal yourself and the world. This is how you create moments of peace.And more peace still.

Light cannot injure light Light is injured by nothing.

Light heals all.

In the midst of shining your light you are immune to lower energies.

You don't heal people by getting them to "get it." You don't heal unwanted situations with people by "teaching them a lesson."

Just stand in the midst of all that you resist and instead of letting judgement take over, put your entire focus upon the light.The light will prevail.

You don't have to do anything more than this.

Bringing peace to the world is what your are here to do. Just shine your light.

You know where your inner light switch is .Turn it on!

You heal and transform the entire world around you by turning ON your light.

You don't have to warn the darkness that you are coming with the light.

Just shine your light.

You are the light of the world.

And so it is.

"The Frank Arjava Petter Interview"

Andalusia welcomes one of the most respected "Reiki Gurus" to Malaga Province from the 9th-17th February. "Frank arjava Petter" is well known throughout the world. He is the Author of many Reiki books including 'Reiki Fire', "Reiki, the Legacy of Dr. Usui", "The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui", "The Original Reiki Handbook", co-author of "The Spirit of Reiki", "Reiki Best Practices" and "The Hayashi Reiki- Manual".

I recently contacted Frank and asked him a few questions prior to his visit. I hope you find his replies as inspiring as I found them.

Firstly I asked Frank or "Arjava" as he is better known, What happened in your life, to receive the calling to the Reiki path? What is your Lineage?

He replied " I came across Reiki accidentally, if there is such a thing. From age sixteen I was exposed to meditation, yoga, mysticism and the oriental healing arts. When I learned Reiki, many years later, it clicked instantly. But I did have to overcome a few obstacles. The first Reiki treatment I ever received was boring and did not touch me at all. Yet I did not loose my interest. My first Reiki Teacher, my brother, was found out not to have taken a teacher’s training himself. That disappointed me, but I accredited that to human nature, and not to Reiki. In fact, this made me hungry for the origins of Reiki: I thought it marvelous that Reiki had been used and abused in so many different ways, and yet it had retained its original purity, its essence. And this essence was what I was interested in. "

"My second teacher was an old friend, Agehanand Popat, who had learned from someone (Peter Gilgen) belonging to the Reiki Alliance. What I learned from him was wonderful, but still it felt incomplete. Five years before I met with Reiki I already lived and worked in Japan, knowing its culture, its people and its fragrance. I was married there and ran a language school. This first hand experience made me look deeper for the roots of Reiki. I knew that what I had learned was a delicious New Age cocktail. To put it lightly, Reiki History and Teaching at that time (1993) was filled with questionable “truth”. So I made an effort to research both."

After one year of teaching, one of my students “found” a ninety- year old Japanese gentleman, who was one of the few teachers of the original Reiki Society. He was kind and taught us some of what he knew, but before I could formally train with him, he passed away. Six years later, I met my third Reiki Teacher, Chiyoko Yamaguchi. She was 78 when I met her, having practiced Reiki since she was seventeen. What I teach today is mostly what I learned from her.


Secondly I asked him "What are your feelings about the way in which Reiki is taught around the world today?"

Answer: "Reiki is such a beautiful spiritual path. It is clear and simple in its essence, but so many artificial flavours have been added to it. It is time to look at what the essence of Reiki really is, and to peel of all the layers of what was added later on. Simple is Best. The reason why so much has been added is to avoid the inner insecurity, the inner lack of trust that one has in oneself. If this issue is properly addressed and solved, life can be lived in simplicity."

On a practical level Reiki is a serious healing art that needs to be treated with devotion and respect. Devotion and respect need time to grow. In Japan Reiki is seen as a way of life, a love affair with existence that never ends. I have witnessed so many healings on all levels when Reiki is practiced seriously.
One of the main subjects in the original system is to learn how to find problem areas in the body with your hands. You are taught how to increase your perception, and how to understand the body’s inherent healing process. Once you know how to do that, you can successfully treat your clients. Before you do, you are fishing in the dark.

Thirdly I asked Arjava "Do you feel there is a right way and a wrong way in teaching Reiki?"

Answer: "Absolutely. The only right way to teach Reiki is to live it. If the teacher does not incorporate the teaching into his own personal life, it has no meaning. So in a way I would like to rephrase your question.” Is there a right or a wrong man to teach Reiki?” If the teacher walks his talk, he is worth studying with. Someone whose being radiates love and compassion can teach you something- just by being in his presence. Someone whose mind and heart is filled with all sorts of junk, is better to be steered clear of as a teacher. I am not saying that a Reiki Teacher must be a saint, but the fragrance of the process of awakening must be felt in his presence. Reiki is not about curing a headache. It is about finding yourself, and not everyone can teach you that."


This week I continue with the second part of the Frank Arjava Petter interview. He arrives here on the 9-17 February and will be running workshops and giving talks about the History of Reiki as well as various Reiki healing methods and meditations. He will be conducting these in Alhaurine de La Torre.
**Unfortunately this event has been postponed until a further date..

Question: As Frank had had a good grounding of meditation and healing arts behind him, I was intrigued to know "What was the distance between you taking Reiki 1 to Reiki 2 and then furthering to Reiki Master and Teacher?"

Frank Arjava Petter replied; "Chiyoko Sensei (respected teacher) as we called her, taught Reiki One and Two together on five consecutive days. This is how her teacher, Chujiro Hayashi, taught her. Chujiro Hayashi was taught by Mikao Usui who re-discovered the Reiki Energy in Japan. She allowed me to begin the teacher’s training after two years under her guidance. Just before I finished my training
she passed away in 2003, so I completed the training with her son, Tadao
Yamaguchi in 2004."

There are so many off shoots of Reiki these days ,what are your feelings about
the many off shoots of Reiki, eg Angel Reiki, Wiccan Reiki, Rainbow Reiki
etc...

He replied, "We can do without most of them… During Mikao Usui ‘s time he word “Reiki” originally meant “Soul Energy”. I find it amazing that someone may think that he can improve upon that! As I said earlier, one reason for wanting to improve upon “Soul Energy” is insecurity. Another one is financial. Both are to be examined and let go of if you want to proceed on the path."

Knowing and understanding that Reiki helps to change a persons life for the highest good, I asked Arjava, How has Reiki changed your life?

He answered, "Usui Sensei Reiki called Reiki “ The secret art of inviting happiness, the spiritual medicine for all illnesses”. This is exactly what it has done to me; I have become happy and content with what is happening inside and outside of myself. In the first part of my life- before I met Reiki- I revolved exclusively around myself. Reiki has shown me love and compassion…"

This is Frank Arjava Petters first visit to Spain and Andalucia. so I asked Frank "What are your aims and reasons for coming to Spain? Why have you waited until now to connect with the source in Andalucia?"

He replied, "Reiki is my boat. Wherever it takes me, I go. I don’t know why the wind did not blow this way before, but I feel it in my hair now…"

Dedication to Maybritt Telefessen-Reiki Master/Teacher

I recently received a letter from Maybritt, informing me that she is now back in Norway. Maybritt was my first Reiki Master who taught me Reiki 1 and 2 levels. She has worked tremendously teaching Reiki for many years, creating a Reiki network in Spain and Norway. Teaching people to heal themselves and others is an incredible gift. Maybritt has recently been diagnosed with cancer of the thyroid, as well as a possible detection in metastases. On Tuesday the 6th of June she was admitted into hospital and on Thursday the 8th she underwent an operation. She has asked if healing and prayers can be sent to help her with her recovery. Please send the healing between 10pm-llpm.

Maybritt has made her mark in the world. A footprint within the lives of many. I feel it is important to remember teachers we have been fortunate to nave met within our lives. She has touched the lives of many individuals to bring forth a dedication to heal the human spirit. This is one of the greatest gifts that we as humans can offer. Teaching is a beautiful gift, whether teaching kids, creating their foundation in their educational system, teaching music and drama, art and expression, dance and creativity, teaching adults new skills, and so forth, as well as teaching members of the human race to love and heal themselves. I reiterate how important it is to work on the self. By stopping we can allow ourselves to become disillusioned with life. We all need to remain strong, have faith and, most importantly, Learn to Trust.

Trust is perhaps one of the hardest lessons to learn. How can we possibly trust knowing that she has given so much to the world? She helped so many people to help themselves as well as others. So why is it that the healer, the teacher, is given a burden of illness? I feel it comes down to one main ingredient. Working on healing "thyself". Sometimes we can become so focused upon helping other people, that we tend to forget about ourselves. Each one of us as an individual is important. We all have our place within the universe. Working as a healer or teacher, i feel, it is paramount to find time for the self. I feel for one, that spirit is giving her time to put her her life in a good working order before taking place once more on the spiritual path. She is being given time to heal herself as well as be on the receiving end accepting the love from others. For what we give out to the world we also receive.

Please visualise Maybritt in a healing pool. See the waters of unconditional love gently wash over her. Visualise the waters washing away pain and anguish associated with the past, Visualise all the people that she has helped to heal, sending their love to her. Visualise her standing under a waterfall. Your energy and love is the water of life. Visualise her cleansed and bathed in light. The light of Love. Unconditional love. Now see her walking away from the waterfall, dancing in a meadow surrounded with summer flowers, the golden sun shining giving her light to her life.

Reiki - Footsteps to Serenity

Imagine a life where you are able to tap into the Universal Consciousness everyday of your life to give you the strength to confront every hurdle thrown in your direction. Imagine learning to love and accept yourself every day. Imagine healing your thoughts, your emotions and even physical pain. Imagine being in touch with your soul.

As you connect with the Reiki energy, a whole new world awaits. Re-united with like-minded people, whom you once read about begin to cross your path opening new doorways so that your soul can further develop and discover its own uniqueness and individuality as well as its soulful path to freedom.

It is possible to connect to the Universal Cosciousness, to the energy that runs through every living thing. Would you like to experience that energy for the rest of your life?
Would you like to develop yourself?
Would you like to learn to heal the self and others as well as the world in which you live?
Do you find yourself lost, spiritually, yet in need for something, a new path ?

If you have answered yes to the above questions then it maybe your calling to re-connect with the Universal Consciousness and begin taking that all important step forward to help humanity and most importantly helping yourself.

Once you begin to know who you are, you can begin to manifest your dreams and aspirations as well as healing your fellow man. More lightworkers are needed to raise the vibrations of the human consciousness. Together we can do that...are you ready?

Reiki- An Introduction from my heart

The spiritual path is a long and winding path. Once you make the initial step on the path, a sense of knowingness and the beginning of the return "home" comforts the soul. But the voyage is often long and hard. The attraction to the spiritual path often arises when a trauma, illness, accident(or series of accidents),crisis, relationship breakup happens. The soul then needs to be replenished. Once realizing this and knowing that the material world can no longer offer or sustain the deep passion that lies within, the awakening process then begins to unfold.

The spiritual path is in no way a means of escape from every day life. It is however the return home to the self. It is the knowingness to what lies below the surface. It is the ultimate essence of the soul and the human spirit. It is a cry for freedom of the soul upon the journey of awakening to a new beginning.

Reiki is a vehical for a portal opening. A transitionary door to lead you to the first step of your spiritual journey, Reiki is the spiritual consciousness that knows all things and runs through all. It is the essence of life itself. It is also the light, the unconditional love that knows how to heal. Reiki is energy that can assist with taking you forward to the next level of consciousness. Your soul needs to be fed. Perhaps it had to take that illness or accident or relationship breakup to make you realize there was something more that your soul needed. Perhaps that was the only way you would learn to ascend to the next leg of your evolutionary journey.

Reiki is energy, unconditional love that is channeled by a Master/Teacher of Reiki arts and through the ancient art of a lineage of Master Teachers deriving from Japan (buddhist Monks) to the student.
Once embarked upon the Reiki energy opens your portal to the next evolutionary stage of your consciousness. The next stage of your personal evolutionary journey.

I have seen so many peoples lives change , so much for the better. Many now are practising either Reiki or other Holistic Therapies. Many are teachers of Yoga, Pilates or working around the world helping other people to believe in themselves. Primarily Reiki helps you as an individual. Reiki helps you to love and approve of the self. Reiki helps you to heal all aspects of the self, be it the mental, emotional, physical and the spiritual. Reiki also takes you to a place, so that you can embrace your next lesson. You may help a loved one pass to the light, you may need extra strength for a sick reletive. You may open new avenues for work opportunities that once before thought about, but now the energy helps you to make it a reality.

Everything is possible. Miracles are waiting to occure.

Healing the Aura

What is the Aura?
The Aura is a field of Subtle energy that penetrates and extends out from our physical body. It also has its own consciousness, which is really your own consciousness. By meditating on your own aura, you can begin to feel sense or see it.
Within the aura there is a representation of everything that you have experienced in your life and past lives. Those who are highly clairvoyant can actually see the experiences in the aura as a slide show of pictures as well as picking up feelings and senses.

Illness believe it or not first starts in the aura, often brought on by some kind of Karma brought in from past lives or as negative ki, formed by the subconscious mind in this life. As time goes by these “seeds”, within the AURA can become strengthened by negative energy and the experiences they attract.
As this happens these seeds begin to grow and extend into roots, down into the chakras, and if not healed can eventually extend into the physical body and manifest as dysfunction or illness.
Healing must take place within the aura to reach the point of the original cause.







Aura Healing

When we receive a pain in the body, it is often the body giving you a warning signal that there is a dis-ease within the bodys physique that needs to be addressed. The Aura is the bodys natural defence mechanism, and energy field. When a person is affected by a problem, especially if it is on going it takes seed within the aura. If undealt with, the seed, as with all seeds takes root into the aura and then into the physical body. Once again it is at this point that we receive an ache or a pain, telling us that something needs to be healed. By consentrating the healing energies within the aura, I, as a channel to the energy of unconditional love am able to release, or reduce the seed, thus weekening the roots so to aid the healing of the physical body. The aura is often weekened when there has been a cut to the body, not only is the body cut, but the aura has also been cut. When the body is run down or experiences hardships the so called negative experience finds its way through the area which is weekest within the aura, once again taking seed. So Aura healing is incredibly beneficial for the complete mind body and spirit. A method of hypnotherapy and Reiki is used for this particular treatment.

Reiki For Children

Children are our future.
They plant the seeds within all future generations.
I have been guided to work with children. Personally, as a child, I was bullied because I was shy. I had to learn to stand up for myself the hard way. It did, many years later give me the determination to be strong and turn my life around in a more profound way.

It is not a weakness to be shy or to be sensitive. I learned many years later that my bullies felt intimidated by me and they feared me. I am the strong one and through the experience I grew to learn that I was powerful. The shyness prevented me from speaking out, but IT GAVE ME DETERMINATION TO SPEAK MY TRUTH AND BECOME A CONFIDENT INDIVIDUAL.

So through this experience I can really empathize with kids who are bullied and need to build up the sense of self confidence and self esteem. Knowing how fearful it can be as a child, I am able to connect to the inner aspect of fear that some children face.

It is a fact that bullying is on the increase. As a parent, if there was a method to prevent your child from being bullied, would you help your child?

I now run courses, from January 2008.
Reiki for Children

I have various modules that can be taken into account.

1)Teaching Reiki in schools- Working with teachers and students. Bringing the awareness of Reiki into the classroom

2)To hold various workshops in the classroom with students. Workshops include dance and movement and laughter therapy. These are two such therapies I include in workshops as they help with inter connectedness of students, plus aiding the release of stress.They also create bonding and trust as well as confidence and expression.

3)To teach students on a individual or small group basis.

for a child to take a reiki course, the benefits are fantastic.
Benefits
i)Enabling a child to heal itself on all levels
ii) to enable a child to have a deeper awareness
iii)provide focus and confidence
iv)create expression and passion for life
v) understanding the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of the body
vi) release fears and phobias
vii) greater connection to mother earth
viii) follow the soul journey (Reiki lifts the vibration and open doors of opportunity)

Information about Reiki

As a Reiki Master/Teacher, I feel it is important to teach students an all round knowledge of healing. Primarily I feel Reiki 1 is opening a spiritual doorway or vortex to the spiritual path. I have been guided by my spiritual teachers, Maybritt Tellefesen and Rev. Andrew Hunter as well as the spirit world. Life has also been my University where I have been at the lowest point imaginable to where I am today. Many inspirational people have crossed my path. My students I also see as my teachers.
I focus upon aspects that I , when I was a student had a thirst for. I focus upon what is needed to give a firm foundation when first embarking upon the spiritual path. Perhaps my role, is more of a spiritual pathfinder for those at the start of their journey. My passion is teaching and my interest in you as you embark upon this journey.

I meet the needs of each individual student. Usually those who enroll on a course often have similar issues to confront and heal. The course is then tailor made for you. Each workshop I teach is different depending upon the persons present.

Workshops are taught either on a 1-1 basis, in pairs, or three or four. I tend not to take more than four persons at any one time as I feel that Reiki is a very unique and beautiful experience. Therefore I feel it is important to give the student time to talk, and heal.

Once you have found your feet, I act as a guide. I am there if you need me, yet I feel it is important for you to walk your own path. I will catch you if you fall. I am there for you, all you have to do is ask.

Not only do I teach the primary syllabus that is taught within all schools of Reiki, but I also teach additional subject matter to give you a more comprehensive approach, not only to Reiki and healing, but also to intergrate into your life.



Subjects that I also teach are
"Knowing and understanding the chakras"
"Understanding and healing the Aura"
"Self awareness exercises which include laughter therapy and dance and movement"
"Meeting your Reiki guide"
"Meditation and Visualization"

These subjects are incorporated into your reiki manual. A comprehensive manual that is yours to keep. I also insist as part as your own spiritual development, that you keep a 21 day diary. This is not for me. It is for you so that in 21 days time you can reflect back and notice the changes within yourself from before the course and after.

I have been witness to so many people changing their lives. It is an incredible journey once taken. It is as easy as believing.

The following are examples of people who have worked upon themselves over a 21 day period. I have to stress here. If a person works upon themselves within the 21 day period and continues within their life, changes, profound changes for their highest good will transpire. However if the student feels they are unable to keep a diary, heal the self or unable to work upon themselves then very often the progression within their life is very slow, or even their life resides within the hangman situation, in suspence with little changes happening.



I have to stress therefore that you are a beautiful individual who deserves love. You have as much right to love as the love and healing you are giving to others.
Affirm
"I deserve positive changes in my life" or are you going to hold onto the limiting belief patterns "Nothing ever changes in my life"
"I deserve to be happy" or do you believe "I will never be happy"
"I deserve an abundance of prosperity in all areas of my life" or do you feel "I never have enough money"
"I have a healthy body, mind and spirit" or "I dont feel well, my body aches, I cant think and I feel lost"
"I am Loved" or do you prefere to believe "I feel so unloved, nobody loves me"
"I trust the process of life" or do you hold onto the belief pattern of " I dont trust anyone"



Are these affirmations empowering?
Giving light, unconditional love to your thoughts helps you to be a better person and change your life around. So reading the affirmations above do you resonate with the positive or the negative. So you see that the positive are empowering and make you feel fantastic. Trusting in a higher power helps us to believe that anything is possible.

I have taught over 50 students Reiki courses. These are a few of many experiences they have had.

So the following students experiences.



A school teacher who was an art teacher. She had a block and could not paint. She also was inspired to learn Reiki as a friend of hers was dying of Cancer. She wanted to give love back to an inspirational guide.
Working upon herself and keeping a diary. She gave herself daily treatments. As she gave the treatments to herself she affirmed her day. It was not long that she suddenly had the passion to paint again. Not suprisingly her paintings were Flowers. The energy of the flower of Life. She felt good about herself and alot more positive.

The other woman who was on the course was lost spiritually. She had once been attuned to Reiki by another person, yet had not felt anything. I also feel here it is worth mentioning that one must always ask a Reiki Master/Teacher for their Lineage. The Lineage gives the Reiki Master Credibility. There were also other aspects that she had not been taught.
However, This young woman was spiritually lost. Her life was just in limbo and she was not going anywhere. After the 21 days she mentioned that she gave up writing her diary half way through the week as she could not think of anything to write. She also mentioned that she had given reiki to others and felt alot of heat and energy, but she felt she could not give the energy to herself. She felt that she did not deserve the unconditional love. Unfortunately she had a history of bad relationships where she pushed the other person away because she felt she did not deserve to be loved. Her mother abandoned her. PARENTS, please note. YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO YOUR CHILDREN. How you behave to your children has a profound affect upon their lives.




Unfortunately this woman remained for sometime in limbo until she could manage after extra support and healing to begin to love herself a little more each day. We can either be conditioned by our elders, our parents into believeing what is best, or to get intouch with the soul and believe what you feel is right for you as an individual. EVERYBODY DESERVES TO BE LOVED.

I have worked with alot of alcoholics, drug addicts, people with HIV and Cancer. Many, in fact most of these people are very sensitive people and often shunned by society. Working with them and meeting them at their level and experience has perhaps been the most profound experience of my life. Having time for people that most people are afraid of is just a beautiful experience.

All of those who were alcholics changed their life around. That is fantastic. When Imet them they had made the decision to seek help and had already done the 12 step program.



One gentleman, and I call him a gentleman because he is. Patrick, had been reading my articles and seeing my advert in the paper for about a period of 2 years before he plucked up the courage to call and meet me. I invited him to come to a healing circle where he could meet likeminded people who were all seeking the spiritual path. He fell in love with the peace. He felt the unconditional love and felt it was over time something he wanted.

Having been at the lowest point in his life he was rebuilding his life. Reiki then crossed his path. While writing his 21 day Diary, he discovered a passion for writing. He channelled the most beautiful words and is currently putting them together to write his own book. He is a beautiful soul. He has now found love and is enjoying a beautiful life.He is also teaching meditation and relaxation to other alcholics.



One young woman had been a Heroin addict in her youth. She had lost her then boyfriend to drugs. Yet she had changed her life around but was lost. She was indicisive. She had a flurishing furnishings business as well as a passion for Yoga. Her dream was to one day teach yoga. After embarking upon the Reiki course, she discovered her path. She sold her business and stated to teach yoga in various parts of the globe.

One special young woman who strangely enough I had met previously on another course some years earlier crossed my path. She had been suffering with depression as well as having been co-dependant with her previous relationship. She had always given healing naturally, but was a little sceptical about Reiki as she had met some Masters, who did not practise what they taught.

Once again I invited her to the healing circle where she was able to connect with people of likeminds. Once within the energies of healing sources, she became interested in Reiki. I remember on the course her face when she gave herself healing. She could feel the heat running through her veins. When she gave healing to others she was amazed.
She later went on to learn Reiki 2 which opened a vortex to her now amazing Mandala workshops. She began
