Reiki Newsletter- February 2013

Dear friends,


What an exciting month it has been and more is on the way!

Next Reiki Day is set for March 10th at Grailville, Frans is coming in April for Shinpiden class and my Reiki trainings are going full throttle to raise funds to support my seva project for this year: HalftheSky

First thing first: Mark your calendars for next Reiki Day on March 10th. This will be another fun day to bring Cincinnati Reiki practitioners together to share, learn and grow together as a community. Morning session is for Reiki Master/Teachers from 9:30 A.M until 12:30 P.M; the afternoon session is for all Reiki practitioners from 1:30 P.M until 5:00 P.M. Day long events include deep dive into Reiki principles, Reiki symbols, Reiki Share, energy experiences, Reiki drumming and Reiju (Reiki blessings). Don’t miss this change to meet with like minded practitioners, to learn from each other and have fun. If you have any suggestions for agenda let me know. Hope to see you all there.

Also mark your calendars for April 11th 7 pm. Frans Stiene will give a free public talk on Reiki while he’s here in Cincinnati. As you know Frans is my Reiki teacher and is coming from Australia to teach a Reiki Shinpiden Master/teacher class. He is graciously offering a free public talk on Japanese Art of Reiki at the New Thought Unity Center. Just participating this talk has created healing experiences for many people in previous years. Don’t miss this!

Lastly thank you so much for your encouragement and support for this year’s seva project. Every year for quite some time, I’ve been dedicating a portion of my Reiki and yoga classes to raise funds or take attention to some world problems All my classes in January and February will support HalftheSky Project and specifically a maternity hospital in Somalia.

Half the Sky movement is to ignite the change needed to end the oppression of women and girls worldwide. Inspired by two journalists and the book of the same title; the movement brings resources and educational tools to the women in need and raises awareness of women issues, providing steps to fight these problems and help empower women for issues ranging from sex trafficking, to health risks and education.

Now you can be part of the solution by coming to my classes and donating the class fee in below link!

How to teach a Reiki class – Refresher for Reiki Masters on Sunday February 3rd 2-5pm ($45)
This class is a refresher for Reiki Masters on practicalities of teaching a Reiki class. This class is perfect for those who has been a Reiki Master Teacher for a while but not started teaching yet and started feeling the call to teach Reiki or those who want to expand and deepen their Reiki teaching experience. We’ll cover Pre-Class, Class and Post Class periods. Everyone who participate the class will receive my Reiki Manual and will have the right to use it. I’ll pass attunements and teach how to pass Reiju (traditional way of sharing Reiki blessings).

Reiki Level 2 Class on Saturday February 9th from 9:30 am till 5:30 pm $175
Are you ready to take your Reiki practice to the next level? This class is empowered with Japanese Reiki Teachings and introduces the “symbols” as a means to invoke particular energies to help enhance your understanding of the macro and micro Cosmos. You will learn symbols to help you ground to the Earth, balance with Heavens and expand your heart to connect to the whole Universe. This class is a major step in your self-discovery to find what’s hidden inside.

At the end of the class, students will learn how to invoke and use the symbols in daily life as well as techniques for distant healing. A light vegetarian lunch will be served.

Reiki as a Spiritual Path on Sunday February 17th 2pm-5pm open to all levels ($45)
This class explores how Reiki can be a path of spiritual development and how do the pillars of Reiki systems (precepts, symbols, mantras, meditations, hands-on healing) complement each other and provide a path to enlightenment. This class is a comparative exploration of major religions and spiritual traditions versus Reiki as paths of “self-realization”.

Gentle Yoga classes on Thursday nights at 6pm Grace Tree Yoga Studio ($7 for new students)
Come try a yoga class in New Year! We explore a sequence of gently paced Hatha yoga postures designed to stretch, tone, strengthen, and improve balance while increasing breath awareness. Emphasize is on "being" rather than doing.

Meditation Meet-ups on 2nd Sundays at 9 am – February 10th 9:00am - 9:45am at Grace Tree Yoga Studio
I’m continue to facilitate monthly Meditation group meetings at Grace Tree Yoga Studio every second Sunday of the month. Join me each month to experience the dynamics and support of meditating as a group. Each meet-up will begin with a brief introduction for newcomers on the basics of meditation and a grounding meditation. The rest of the time is open for everyone to have their own experience. All are welcome. Love donation accepted.
