Upcoming Shinpiden Reiki III class: May 22-24, 2010

Upcoming Shinpiden Reiki III class:
Yoga By The Sea, Roberts Creek BC
Saturday to Monday: May 22-24, 2010

Dear friends,

It has been brought forefront to my attention the conflicting dates with upcoming Shinpiden workshop. I have advertised as three days, May 22-24, yet Yoga By The Sea states two days May 22-23. Both are correct in their own space. I have booked YBTS for the two days, but would like to combine an outside activity for the third day. We will need the full three days to complete the level.

I have priced this workshop at $350, which is really a 2 day price. I am happy to leave it at this for three days as you are my charter Level III students and I am delighted to be making the first run.
From here my prices will rise to $450 for three days.

Accommodation is $50 per night. Please feel free to arrive later on Friday, or early Saturday morning. I will supply beds, linens, and food. Please feel free to bring a dish along to add to our menu, and be prepared to share kitchen duties. Group food preparation is always fun!!!

You will find the weather up here to be a bit cooler and damper than Vancouver, please bring some woollies just in case. However overall the weather up here at present is spectacular.

During this workshop we will overview the Five Precepts, the Three Diamonds, and both Shoden and Okuden. We will then move into the Symbol and Mantra for Shinpiden, plus you will learn how to do a Rei-ju (Reiki blessing, forerunner to the attunement). Our focus will be on deepening your practice, in order to deepen and widen your access to source and true self. This in itself will access stronger levels of source energy for healing and personal growth.

I look forward to receiving you for a truly transformative experience.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you have further questions.

Blessings,
Judy

Dear Friends,

I have recently returned from another Reiki (Shinpiden) workshop with Frans Stiene, co-founder of the International House of Reiki, and co-author of The Reiki Sourcebook. (www.reiki.net.au) What did I learn?

When we read a book for the second, or third, fourth etc, time around, we receive its message in a deeper place. This is especially true of a book that contains profound truth and wisdom, written from one who has been there. And so it is when studying Reiki with Frans, a Reiki practitioner/teacher who truly lives what he teaches, who continues to seek for deeper truth, and who teaches to be understood from that place of knowing.

During Frans' 4 day workshop I began to embody a deeper truth, as it relates to the System of Reiki developed, practiced and taught by Mikao Usui in the early 1900's. AND I began to embody a deeper truth for myself as it made itself known to me.

I learned that returning to our true nature was truly the intended purpose of Mikao Usui's teachings. That Reiki was not developed as a hands-on-healing modality is still a shock to many. The curious truth about Reiki is healing is a positive side effect of practicing the System of Reiki. Having said this, hands-on-healing is one of the five elements that distinguish Reiki from other healing modalities and is still an important piece in healing ourselves.

The basis of Usui's teachings were in the Five Precepts and in the meditations. Usui started his student's journey with these two elements... he taught one-on-one over several years, much like a spiritual guru would mentor his protegee to enlightenment. Over time symbols, mantras, initiations, and practices were offered as additional tools and support for the journey to true nature.

How can we relate this into today's world? We are in the midst of huge evolutionary change. Many can feel it in the internal and external changes taking place in our lives. By returning to our true nature not only can we find the calm in the storm, but we can return to our truth, the part within us that has always been there, that has remained exactly as it was created through all generations and lives. The part of us that continues to inspire toward healing, change and potential. Hands-on-healing supports this journey for us.

Reiki can support our way back to truth, can empower us to find our own way, our very being of existence. Reiki supports us to find our balance in this world, and in this place of balance we automatically return to wellness and vitality of life. Reiki also supports healing of plants, animals, and the earth.

Reiki can be taught over a two day workshop, but Reiki is a lifetime practice in order to reap its true benefits.
