Laughter!
Interconnection enables us to trust our friends, and companions. Laughter therapy also induces food for the soul
Working out doors enables us to release inhabitions of what others think. Holding on, holds us back. We encourage you to find your inner child and live in a care free world without limiting beliefs. Connecting to the sand, sea and sky- Universal connection- with the backdrop of Melilla
Realizing one is powerful though the healing power of joy
Self expression laughter therapy and inner child works enables a greater connection to channeling Reiki. It also encourages you to improve the way you live your life.
Many of our students become good friends. We are grateful for the continued friendship from Carmen, from Carmen y Aurora Esteticas in Melilla and Chique from the Nurses Union in Melilla.
The way in which Luis and I teach Reiki differs slightly from how others feel Reiki should be taught. How I have learned and developed myself as well as inspiring and teaching others is, that Reiki has no boundries. I feel it is imperetive to reach back to the roots of Mikao Usui and teach and treat how he initially intended. After studying and researching gaining insight into various healing moduals he was able to become inspired from how he felt Healing mechanisms can assist the higher self and the human body.
Healing ones thoughts is additionally important. This is an aspect we have developed in our workshops, especially on Reiki 1. Reiki one we feel is not just about healing the physical self and learning hand positions for self and others. It is not just about learning the 5 reiki principles. The 5 Reiki principles can be adapted and put into practise to learn who we are and why we behave in a certain way. For example the phrase "Just for Today" teaches us to live in the moment, "I do not Anger". This term actually causes the opposite. An american student of psychology actually taught me that when a person says the word "Not" the mental mind rebels. Therefore the best way to put this principle across is by placing it into an affirmation,
"Just for today, I release all anger"
or "Being angry towards myself and others no longer suits my purpose"
Still the same message is coming across but perhaps in a more powerful and sustainable way.
Additional adaptations that we have made are laughter therapy. When we are giving a Reiju empowerment we find that some self development exercises assisting in the releasing of suppressed emotions ease out within the Hatsu Rei Ho only after these therapies. Additional therapies including dance and movement assists with self expression, confidence and the ability to say NO.
Please take time to view the pictures in these photos and notice the difference in expression and liberation of the soul as it rejoices in a new way of being. We find that limiting beliefs about ourselves and the need to be needed can often prevent these new ways forward. Men interestingly enough have a very powerful healing energy. Yet this is often only accessed when he is able to let himself go.
The majority of students are women. We have been witness to so many people changing their lives in a powerful manner. Our work in North Africa in the Spanish enclave Melilla has opened up new avenues for persons to explore to re-capture a powerful way forward in existance. Their light is spreading creating a greater need for people who wish to attune to the powerful energy of Reiki.
We believe in making workshops fun and enjoyable. To be able to look back and say "I remember the weekend when my life began to change in a more positive direction"
Reiki is now being used by many medical/nurses and we are privilaged to be a part of the empowerment and initiation of many who are assisting in bringing a new light to medicine to treat the whole person.
We aim to reach the person/persons who wish to develop themselves with reiki. We do not give the form of Reiki a name. In some workshops we may connect with the Egyptian energies of the Sphinx or Isis, other times it could be the power animal of the shamen, others it is the uniqe vibration of Usui himself, or it could be the Angels or departed loved ones that connect to bring forth a gentle introduction to the student to embrace the spiritual path.
Reiki we feel is like opening a doorway, a spiritual doorway for self and spiritual development. Understanding deep relaxation, meditation, visualization, chakras and auras as well as channeling Reiki are part in parcel of our workshop. However each workshop is different. It reaches the mental/emotional need of the student as well as connecting to their belief system to assist with the changing vibrational shift.
We believe that Reiki practitioners/Masters/Teachers are assisting with the introduction of a new path towards enlightement. In many ways it prepares the student for a new path. Each student then touches others, creating a pebble in a pond effect. Watching the ripples run outwards is often a heartwarming gift.
It also re-affirms our own path and our reasons for coming together to assist with the star seed revolution of change for the new world. The new world is not a political imagery, it is something that we all want.
Many students have gone on to work as therapists or use Reiki alongside their holistic therapies. Some have gone on to open centres, others have used it to run circles or just simply to develop and heal themselves.
Finding time to heal and improve oes life can often be hard. Intergrating a way of life of meditation and healing can often be a struggle. For that purpose we also have a Reiki share where you can meet others like-minded. The Sirius Reiki circle of light meets in Mijas Costa monthly. Attending this meeting one is able to off load, ask questions as well as join in healing for self and others. Some group healing takes places especially for persons suffering with chronic or terminal diseases.
