Shoden - Reiki I Attunement

Today we step over the threshold. Those who have attended from the first week will receive attunement this week and begin to accelerate their spiritual growth as the Reiki integrates into their system. Those who have been coming only for a week or so, will receive their attunements in 3 weeks. 

We will be working with Meditation as this is where Reiki is Rooted. Any inner power comes to fruition through meditation, so if your healing is a faint flame at the beginning, Reiki's meditations will feed the flames into a mighty fire.

As a Reiki practitioner, you will continue the Reiki practices that will bring Peace of Mind, heart centred peace, and peace that flows through your life. The Mental, emotional and spiritual healing of Reiki practice and energy will bring it's own clarity and peace.- simply allowing and aiding you to flow with the energies of the moment as your spiritual development continues. 



We will explore the traditional hand positions for self-healing, which is the path for the first few weeks, Later we will talk about the hand positions, and non traditional aspects of healing of others. As the weeks progress we will be doing Reiki Share and discovering the new experiences both spiritual and physical and emotional that come with practicing Reiki.

Spiritual healing is important as all other levels are simply an expression of our spiritual self/soul.

There are 2 classes. One at 2pm; & 7:30pm.
In The Old Storeroom at The Bank, Eye.
£7 per class.

Reiki Principles - Just for today I will be grateful

Just For Today I Will Live the Attitude of Gratitude

 
Repeat these twice daily with hands in Gassho position

 To be constantly in the mind space of gratitude is to live in abundance. When we feel thankful not only for what we have received, but also for what we trust and 'know' will be continually provided then we begin to magnetically attract abundance. This is the Law of Attraction at work, as we live each moment knowing that what we require to nourish our self, our being and our growth will manifest in our lives as naturally as we breathe. 

The idea of abundance is at the root of most ancient belief and religious systems. Indeed in some ancient sacred texts that pre-date the New Testament gospels, Phillip quotes Jesus "...what you see, you shall become..."  - This can be found in the Nag Hammadi texts. To understand one's own self, and to be self-aware, is to understand the God within, the Divine; by journeying deep within we can learn to transmute or change fear into love, ignorance into wisdom and lack into abundance. 

If you focus upon what is lacking in your life, you are sending out the negative energy of lack and loss. This will naturally continue attract in the negative energy, and yet if you focus on abundance in all areas of your life, the abundance will manifest and increase in all areas of your life.  To be truly in Gratitude is to know in heart, mind and soul, that All Is One, all is connected, and we are all part of One. There is no separation, from the Source/God/Divine - this is an illusion. We are all part of the Whole. 

Remember that is important to accept the abundance that is rightfully yours, and is not a result of taking from another. If you feel deep within, subconsciously, that you are 'unworthy' of abundance and wealth you are placing an obstacle to the flow of abundance to yourself. Many healers, empaths, lightworkers feel that the nature of their work means they will never gain abundance or material wealth. This is an outdated belief system that must be released so that we can allow abundance to flow to us. 

Each person is different, and it is important to find the cause of this outdated belief system so that it can be healed, released and transmuted. Then you may move forward into a state of abundance. In most cases the channels through which abundance and harmony usually flow are either underdeveloped or clogged with the detritus of self-doubt, negative beliefs about the self and 'martyr' energy. As you work with Reiki, the Universal Life Force energy will help clear those channels and open the person to the state where all is connected and abundance is aligned with the self and the Source. 

There is a simple way to align with the life force in your area, originally from the Hermetic Sciences, using the Star Exercise. 



You stand for 3-5 minutes with your feet apart, arms and hands outstretched - left palm up and right palm down. The Universal Life Energy enters your left palm, and flows through the heart and solar plexus area, charging your entire body, while the surplus flows out through your right hand. When practiced in the morning, you will feel energized. When practiced in the evening, a relaxing sensation is likely. When you have received a Reiki Attunement you may do the self treatments which will give you  an amplified version of this exercise.
Once  you have connected to this energy and you can feel or sense it flowing through your whole body, then you can focus your attention on feeling successful and living a life of abundance in all areas of your life. 

The Universal Life energy will boost the channels of your Inner Self and open them to the inflow of this energy which will connect you to All That Is and so to all that you desire that is aligned with your highest good.

Next, you may make a step towards achieving your goals. Use only positive affirmations as success, abundance and prosperity flow towards positive energy - while using the Universal Life Energy will sustain and boost the power of your affirmations. 

After attunement, you will find that self-treatment will clear away the old subconscious belief patterns and behaviours that block your flow of abundance and prosperity.

GLOBAL EQUINOX MEDITATION - SEPTEMBER 22, 2016


Golden Pyramid of Light
 I have long been an admirer and follower of Jean Hudon. This is the Global Meditation for September 22nd 2016.
Once again, the main goal of this Equinox Meditation consists in calling the Universal Consciousness into our collective consciousness, all at the same time-asking It to do so being a pivotal Key offered for global spiritual awakening on Earth and beyond-and let It feel and see through our collective awareness, thus allowing all participating souls to partake at the same time of this Universal sensing Oneness experience, each according to its ability to integrate part of this infinitely vast sentient Being's awareness in our own consciousness.
Being All The Joy That We Can Be


As all humans progress on the path to spiritual enlightenment and as an ever greater number of souls remember who they are, a sense of permanent joy is gradually seeping through their consciousness from the realm of eternal bliss where they originally came from. It is important for each one of you to become ever more acutely aware that allowing this heavenly feeling to blossom freely is a key to further accelerating your progress. You have to literally make a conscious choice, each and every waking moment of your life to enable the healing power of Life to act through you and in you by accepting joy as your natural state of mind, no matter how difficult the circumstances you may be in at any given moment, no matter how great the challenges you may face.

Anchoring your basic feeling about life in deep, unrelenting joy will catalyze in a much more direct and efficient way than any other means your spiritual awakening and, in so doing, you will be able to tap within you, from the Source of your very existence, the tremendously potent Forces of Light and Love that have remained dormant for most of the times when your consciousness was embroiled into the travails and tribulations of physical incarnation, over numerous lifetimes. This growing and yet innate sense of blissful joy can express itself through laughter or simply as a subtle smile, but it is much more than such superficial expressions. Joy as an enduring attitude towards all experiences in life will unlock the unexpressed potential for spiritual clarity, relaxed contemplation and hyper focused attention that are necessary to ascend into the higher dimensions of existence which is the true Promised Land towards which all are striving.


May Love, Light, Peace, Harmony, Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Mercy, Healing and Joy prevail in every heart.
I will be teaching Reiki tomorrow at 15:21 BST, so I will incorporate part of this in the class, and as Jean remarks, if you are unable to be present at 15:21, then choose any part of the day and project yourself through time to that moment and connect into All That Is and the other Lightworkers.
Recently there has been a resurgence of that deeper inner knowing and understanding that we are all connected, and that the illusion of being only flesh and moral, is just that - an illusion. Many of us have come to realize that we really are a soul having a physical experience.

And yet;that old conditioning of separation from the One, still holds us firmly in its grip, even as we struggle to pull free, we keep forgetting 'who we are' and sink back into those automatic mindless pursuit of the material items. We, once more, forget our soul self, and submerge ourselves into the idea of that we are mortal and 'theoretically' we have a soul. But whenever we shift into a deep meditative state and calm down that rapid fire monologue our mind and ego keeps going, we can switch off that old sense of separation, and flow into that altered state, almost like a dream realm where we can see the thoughts rising like bubbles from the sea, flashing a myriad of perceptions as the boundless wisdom and information we are suddenly accessing from the Akashic Records and the archives of the Universe is at our fingertips. An touch screen connection to a computer of the Cosmos is at hand when we are in this Divine State of being.

At this point, its really hard to doubt that we are far more than the physical vessel we inhabit in this moment, in this space, on this planet. Time is no longer a construct that is valid to this state of being - and we can relax into a deep, enveloping peace that pervades the mind and the soul. In this space, we have available infinite power to create and manifest whatever nourishes our growth, our highest good, the highest good of all as we align with the Highest Good of the Cosmos/Universe/Divine.

In the Eclipse tunnel, up is down and left is right. - Dana Mrkich



 I was reading Dana's blog this morning and for those of us 'floundering' or feeling suddenly off balance, these words may resonate.

If you feel like a whirlwind has picked you up and is yet to set you down, it is partly because we are in the middle of two eclipses (Solar on 1 Sep and Lunar on 17 Sep).
An eclipse window is like a fast-moving tunnel that feels like a scene out of the Willy Wonka movie. Up is down and left is right. Unexpected events can hit you out of the blue. Flashes of insight and aha moments can give you crystal clear clarity about issues that have been hazy for years. It is a really good time to journal, meditate or draw it outif you have questions to ask your inner self and shadow aspects. It can be a time of healing and resolution, crisis or great change. 

 This is the Sidhe Glyph as found in John Matthews Book on the Sidhe.

A doorway is opened at the beginning of an eclipse window, and closes at the end (with after-effects felt for months afterward). Time feels different, a lot happens quickly. It is like our souls take over the wheel and we have to go with it, ready or not. Life-altering opportunities and experiences shift your path from one direction to another, just like that.
This eclipse window feels particularly powerful because September this year has some very strong energy moving through it. I'll write more on that tomorrow!
How has your month been so far? x

Dana is in Australia, so for those of us in the Northern hemisphere the eclipse is 16/09/2016 and tonight.

Thoughts create Reality

Recently I have been re-reading Seth as channelled by Jane Roberts. I read the Seth books and writings many years ago, and recently a friend posted a wonderful excerpt on the nature of consciousness and natural self hypnosis from Seth.

So as I start to teach Reiki once more, I am experiencing a steady trickle that is turning into a waterfall of 'aha' moments & little breakthroughs. I come to realize that the Reiki I practice and teach is a holistic subject that includes not only the healing modality but also the Meditation. I come to realize as a friend Pamir Kichen writes - Reiki rooted in Meditation.


This is an excerpt from "The Nature of Personal Reality Part 2. p 319
319
The brain can be called simply the physical counterpart of the mind. By means of the brain the functions of the soul and intellect are connected with the body. Through the characteristics of the brain, events that are of nonphysical origin become physically valid. There is a definite filtering and focusing effect at work, then. Practically speaking, you do indeed form the appearance that reality takes through your conscious beliefs. Those beliefs are used as screening and directing agents, separating certain nonphysical probable events from others, and bringing them into three-dimensional actuality.
 
Other probable events could just as well become physically experienced ones. Those beliefs about yourself form your own self-image, and define your concepts of what is possible or not possible for you,. You will choose from those nonphysical probable events, therefore, only those you feel you are in accord with.

Because of your psychological and psychic structure, there is within the rich makeup of your being a literally endless variety of what you may call probable selves. In one reality or another these will all be experienced. In your present existence however you will utilize only those psychological characteristics that you believe you possess. So, you see, the personality cannot be defined as being thus-and-so.

The physical constitution of the body follows your beliefs, and so all of its sense data will faithfully mirror the beliefs that direct its activity. In certain terms hypnosis is simply an exercise in the alteration of beliefs, and only too clearly shows that sense experience follows expectations.

The "you" that you presently conceive yourself to be represents the emergence into physical experience of but one probable state of your being, who then directs corporeal life and "frames" and defines all sense data. When your ideas about yourself change, so does your experience.

Even the intimate body experience alters. You may say that you are you, but which you are you? In the most personal terms each individual creates his own world...

The overall private experience that you perceive forms your world, period. But which world do you inhabit? For if you altered your beliefs and therefore your private sensations of reality, then that world, seemingly the only one, would also change. You do go through transformations of beliefs all the time, and your perception of the world is different. You seem to be, no longer, the person that you were. You are quite correct-you are not the person that you were, and your world has changed, and not just symbolically.


Often you fall into lapses in which you actually pull in your consciousness, so to speak, and experience life in a lesser fashion. In such a state you do not seem to experience yourself directly, and indeed in the midst of what you think of as the waking state you act in the most mechanical of fashions, following habit and being less aware of sensual stimuli.

On such occasions your beliefs usually lose their edge, the directions you give to your body are not clear, and the world seems fuzzy. This is often a time of deep unconscious activity, when new latent probable characteristics are biding their time, so to speak, waiting for emergence.

In your terms probable events are brought into actuality by utilizing the body's nerve structure through certain intensities of will or conscious belief.

These beliefs obviously have another reality beside the one with which you are familiar. They attract and bring into being certain events instead of others. Therefore, they determine the entry of experienced events from an endless variety of probable ones. You seem to be at the center of your world, because for you your world begins with that point of intersection where soul and physical consciousness meet.

In surface terms the sense of "I" that you possess is the result of constantly emerging probable identities, giving continuity in time through the physical apparatus of the body with its built-in intervals of nerve reaction. You only remember the portion of your identity that is physically realized-those portions that are drawn into corporeal pattern. (aber die anderen sind doch genauso corporeal) This is the result of the focusing and yet limiting behavior of the physical brain, for effective survival behavior in your reality depends upon time reactions. The nerve patterns activity therefore causes the illusion of a present, in which your consciousness appears focused and alert.

In certain terms "future" events exist now, but they are too fast. They jump over the nerve endings too quickly, and physically you cannot perceive or experience them as yet.

Impulses possess a far different reality than physicists or biologists suppose. As you think now, "past" is still occurring. The "drag" still leaps the synapses, but, again, is not physically recorded. Past events continue. Consciously you only experience portions of events with your corporeal structure, yet the structure itself records them.

In such a way, the cells retain their memory, though you do not perceive it, and the body is aware of so-called future occurrences, though as a rule you do not consciously sense this. At other levels of psychic activity however such knowledge is also available to you, but only when you disconnect your experience from the time-activated neuronal structure-and this you can do through various alterations of consciousness, often quite spontaneously adopted.
 

Many such states can give you a far greater direct experience with the nature of your non corporeal reality than any normally conscious questioning. Which you? Which world? You can to some extent discover for yourself the other probable you's that are a portion of your being. 
Seth.

Reiki I Class and attunement



REIKI I – SHODEN

Thursday 15th September 2016.
10 week course
2pm class &7:30pm
£7
Attunement – 4th week
The Bank, Eye.



Elisande Ursula is offering a Reiki Level I course of 10 weeks, with attunement in the 4th week. I have been attuned to Reiki for many years, and find it invaluable as a part of my spiritual practice, as well as connecting my energy more deeply to this planet, the people and the plants, trees and elemental beings.

I have lived and worked in Rural Suffolk for over 15 years, and have always been connected to the healing gifts we all hold within. The Attunement to Reiki enhanced and facilitated my connection to a higher level of healing, whilst also supporting my  healing journey.

Reiki is both a healing modality and a spiritual practice, while also being non-dogmatic, non- religious and a highly flexible and adaptable practice. It is rooted in Meditation, and throughout the course, you will learn about Chakra energy, meditation, yourself, and the energies that surround us.

The founder of Usui Reiki teachings Usui Sensei, gave a 5 point guideline or principles that most schools of Reiki Teaching Follow.


For today only:
Do not anger,
Do not worry,
Be Humble
Be honest in your work
Be compassionate to yourself and others.


. We are in essence spiritual beings, and Reiki is primarily spiritually motivated healing. Very simply put, spiritual healing is to erase the ignorance of what we are as metaphysical entities. We then evolve to accepting our true nature as real, and expressing it in every way. 

 
If you are interested in learning Reiki, or working with meditation to enhance your healing abilities, then please do come along.
