Several years ago, a friend & I attended a Reiki Circle at Breitenbush, & another LMT raised the
questions, 'might Reiki be helpful in my practice!' I affirmed that integrating Reiki into my work
over the last 20+ years has been a tremendous blessing! If I feel a bit tired at the beginning of a
Massage or Reiki session, I am 'recharged' by the time we've finished, as the energy feed ME
first!
Another MT and Reiki Master in the circle, also in practice over 30 years, said 'I cosign!' & affirmed
that in addition to the benefits our clients experience, we as therapists are less likely to get
injured, heal quicker, AND have more energy for sessions!! Pretty magical!

I began my journey with Reiki twenty years ago, in Nov. 1989, six years into my massage practice.

In the early 80s, I learned a brief '
Polarity' treatment in my basic massage training, & felt there
should be
more we could do with our healing hands!  So when I attended a talk on the Asteroid
Chiron & healing
, and Analyse mentioned she would offer a Level I Reiki training that fall, I
realized
'this is for me!' & signed up. What a lovely journey!

Reiki met, no,
exceeded my expectations, & affirmed my sense that I wanted to 'open the Reiki
door' for others!  That goal was fulfilled the summer of 1991. I attended the Reiki Gathering with
Phyllis Lei Furomoto, & in the fall began offering Reiki classes for staff & guests at
Breitenbush
Hot Springs. I've been teaching Reiki for 20 years, & am still amazed at its simplicity & strength!  

Reiki, pronounced '
ray-key,' is a precise method for connecting Universal Energy - Chi or Ki - with
the body's innate powers of healing.  Rediscovered in Japan about 100 years ago, Reiki combines
the healing power of touch with life-force energy, made available to the student through a series
of initiations. Once initiated, Reiki energy is consistently available.  You become a conduit for
healing energy to flow into your own body, and into those upon whom you place your Reiki
charged hands.

* An early
student, familiar with other energy modalities, commented that she 'used to' work at
'gathering' energy from around her to do a healing; after Reiki training, she could feel it simply pour
into her, with no effort on her part. My Reiki Master described Reiki as 'clearing the pipes' for energy to
flow; when this is done, Reiki flows naturally & easily, with no effort on the part of the practitioner.

* A student from my first class greeted his son after a field trip, & noticed the boy was very
nauseated from the drive. The dad 'sat with' his son for a few minutes, with his hands on his belly,
then the boy skipped home. The driver later told me she'd never seen a child that 'green' recover so
quickly without throwing up!

* When I have a slight injury (stubbed toe, smashed finger, sore shoulder) I'll feel a tingle in the
affected area when I do a session on someone, & may end their session free of my own pain!

* At a harp conference in 1996, my friends' daughter hurt her knee, & mom asked if I'd do 'Fairy
Energy' (a friend's name for Reiki) on her. After a few minutes, she dashed off, & her mom
commented 'Wow! She could hardly walk!'

With chronic aches & problems, the result may not seem dramatic, but with time & repetition,
stubborn problems often abate. Takata went to Japan in 1935 with 'stomach pain' which
included: a uterine tumor, appendicitis & gall stones. After receiving Reiki regularly for 6 months,
these had  disappeared, as had the Asthma that plagued her from childhood! She regained her
vitality, & lived 45 more years, dying in Nov of 1980.

In the 30s, a British healer, Edward Bach, wished he could provide a simple tool usable by
anyone, a natural method of treatment that would
'raise our vibrations & open up our channels for
the reception of the spiritual self; like beautiful music, to be gloriously uplifting'
- & went on to
develop
Flower Essences! Bach also wished to embody hands-on healing; which he did for
himself, but didn't teach others; ... Reiki & Flower essences are wonderfully compatible vibrational
tools for raising the vibration!

Qigong is an allied practice, utilizing simple movements & visualizations to channel the qi or chi in
our bodies. By combining a practice of Qigong & Reiki, benefits of each are enhanced.

My Reiki lineage is: Mikeo Usui, Chijiro Hayashi, Hawayo Takata, Phyllis Lei Furumoto, Florence
O'Neil, Jerry Farley, & Analyse Chamberlain.

I encourage those interested in learning Reiki to receive one or more Reiki sessions
before attending a class. These sessions clear you as you prepare to deepen in your
healing path.

Reiki I is the basic 'hand on' form. You will learn the history & principles of Reiki, treatment for
yourself & others, & will be initiated or 'attuned' to the Reiki energy.  10 - 20 minutes of self-Reiki
daily is a simple way to increase your vitality & enhance your health.  
*  
First Degree is offered in a weekend class, or individually, in a series of 4 sessions.

Reiki II or "Oku Den" includes the words (Mantras) & symbols (Yantras) for sending Reiki over
distance, for mental emotional balance, & blessing your home, friends & food.
You learn ways to Integrate the symbols into treatments, the Mental/emotional pattern, Zen
Funeral, sending over distance, starting your Reiki journal, & use in groups.  Musicians enjoy an
enhanced ability to transmit well being through the vehicle of their voice or instrument.
* Two or three months of integration are usually suggested between first &
Second Degree
classes. Often someone will practice Reiki for several years, then suddenly feel 'ready' for 2nd
Degree. Second Degree isn't 'better' than 1st Degree, it is simply a deepening of the practice.

Reiki Mastery is a process which includes class time & private sessions for students with a
'Burning Desire' for Mastery. You'll learn a final symbol, how to Pass Attunements, & the teaching
format. You are invited to audit 1st & 2nd level classes as you prepare to teach.
Mastery is offered to practitioners who have been using Reiki for two or more years.  If you have
studied with another Reiki teacher, I ask you to finish my completion requirements before
beginning Mastery Training, & commonly invite you to contact your 2nd degree teacher before
proceeding. This is flexible - please contact me if interested in studying with me! I have initiated
12 Masters.
Deepening or intermediate Mastery is available for those students who wish to go on with Reiki,
but don't feel drawn to teaching,
Teaching Review is available for Masters preparing to teach.

Audits: Students who have already taken Reiki are welcome to audit or review that level. If you
already know the symbols (but have forgotten how to draw them) I'll have you draw & help fine
tune what you remember. ($25 charge for auditing level I or II)
Reiki is 'self-adjusting, & subsequent initiations open you to the next level of energy you're ready
for.  Mastery students typically audit one or more class of each level as they prepare to teach on
their own, at no extra charge.

Reiki Form: These days there are endless 'options' in Reiki available, from Atlantean to Wei Chi!
You can get 'certified' on-line, or take Reiki Levels 1-3 in a weekend . . . .(I have friends who've
taken this 'quick form' - several times!) Some Masters insist on re-initiating students in the
'correct' form . . . .

Elements of various forms appeal to me, & I've studied several branches in addition to the
Usui-Furomoto tradition in which I originally trained.
When I teach, I am open to the flow of energy, & to the experiences each student brings, so no
two classes are the same.

That said, I try to present the basic, simple Reiki information, & encourage each student to
integrate these practices & principles first, then branch out if they feel drawn to other teachings. .

Reiki Principles:
'Inviting blessings of the secret method
Many illnesses of the spiritual (heavenly) medicine

Today only
anger not
worry not
With appreciation Do work
To people be kind

In morning at night hands held in prayer
think in your mind chant with mouth

Mind body change it for better
Usui Reiki method

******************************************************
Over the years I've taken a number of Vibrational healing modalities, & have grouped the ones I
love into the '
Blue Ray' Teachings. These can be taken individually or as a series.

Teachings include: Basics of Grounding, Three Palm Rising Qigong, Etheric Healing, a Flower
Essence Bouquet, Diaphramatic Healing, Chakra Balance,
Land Cleansing.  

For centuries there has been an affinity between healing & the colour blue - Medicine Buddha
(Lapis blue) & Mother Mary (Sky blue) are two of the entities with this association.

If you are interested in learning
Reiki or in the Blue Ray series, please contact me for further
information. I enjoy working with family members or groups of friends, & am happy to tailor a
class to your specific needs.

I look forward to our work together!
