June’s Topic: From Mystical to Logistical: Reiki Origins for Today's Life
Here’s why….
“...Because the truth is, the Western Reiki Model really doesn’t center a personal relationship with Reiki, but rather puts people on the fast-track to becoming a “Master”, blowing past personal practice straight to practitionership. ”
From the perspective of its Japanese origins, the system of Reiki is an internal journey of self-development, emotional resilience, and spiritual depth. While drawing on long-existing spiritual traditions in Japan, this system is also beautifully suited to help us address the pervasive feelings of anxiety, spiritual and community disconnection and estrangement from nature that plagues us in these modern times. Practicing from these origins generates a feeling of grounding, spaciousness and connection within which we can live our lives:
Unattached to our anger and worry
Rooted in gratitude
True to our way and our being
Within deep compassion for ourselves, and then for others as we come to realize what it means to be interconnected
It is a path that reminds us of our intimate relationship with the land, supporting us to come into alignment and integrity with the life around us.
There is great value in rooting into the origins, whether you are brand new to Reiki, or have practiced a western form for a long time.
Let’s explore this path together! In this 75-minute free workshop, you will:
Learn why the 120-year-old system of Reiki provides an exquisite antidote to the feelings of anxiety and disconnection so rampant in our world;
Learn an accessible, simple, and deeply empowering practice for relieving stress, fear and anxiety, rooted in the long-existing Japanese spiritual traditions that are the origins of Reiki;
Begin a relationship with the Reiki Precepts and to learn how to live them in your daily life to release attachment to fear and anger, and source a deep well of gratitude, compassion and self-knowledge;
You will also:
Receive video instruction for the meditation practices we’ll experience in the workshop, ones that forms the foundation of the system of Reiki;
