Reiki Newsletter- December 2012

Dear friends,

You know how deliberately I try to stick to Reiki in this newsletter, but this is one of the few occasions I will slightly navigate (you can tell how strongly I feel about this event).

Imagine a world where the driving force is love, compassion, kindness and unity. Communities cultivate creativity, empathy and truth, and individuals are spiritually motivated for evolution and compassion guides the way. Imagine a community living sustainably, where cooperation is the motivation, where respect, mutual understanding, humility and deep connection are bonding elements. Imagine science and spirituality coming together.

A very important milestone in the evolution of human consciousness is coming on December 21, 2012. A 26,000 cycle will come to an end and a new era of consciousness will start. I believe that this milestone will bring potential of positive change for humanity to evolve to the next stage in our consciousness where we can cultivate all these qualities and recognize our unity.

So… drum roll please…..We decided this “once-in-a-history-of-mankind” milestone deserves a special celebration. We will celebrate this milestone with an overnight party at Cincinnati Yoga School starting at 7:30 pm on Dec 21 ending at 7:30 am Dec 22. We’ll raise our consciousness with a series of events throughout the night to celebrate our evolution for a positive future for ourselves, for a sustainable community and humanity.

I sincerely hope you can join us and help cultivate this new consciousness.

Arrive at 7:30 pm

8 pm-10:00 pm “I AM" movie and discussion (bring your journals, we’ll make individual action plans on what can we do for ourselves, our Earth, our community and the humanity)

11:30-1:00 am music, chanting, drumming

Upcoming Reiki classes: Every year I select an agency and do a fundraising campaign by teaching yoga and Reiki classes. We helped build a water well in Africa last year and draw awareness to water shortage. This year I selected a wonderful program inspired by Half the Sky!. Watch for Reiki classes coming in late January for a fundraising program that we’ll provide funds to thousands of under privileged women in Africa to give safe birth.

I bow to you all changing agents, farewell until then.

Love & Light,

Zeynep
