As with all living things and modalities, Reiki has evolved from its origins, discovered by Usui Sensei on Mount Kurama in Japan. Today, one may enjoy many flavours of Reiki energy. Traditional Reiki, as brought to the West by Mrs. Takata and anyone of her lineage is available literally everywhere. Reiki is on the threshold of entering the mainstream of Integrative Medicine. Equally exciting is the many ways Usui/Tibetan Reiki has birthed, through the work of talented and dedicated longtime ReikiMasters, new facets of its energy. Charles Darwin wrote: "That which does not evolve, perishes." I'll be writing more about these new facets so you can discover other ways to grow and learn.
So, Loudoun Reiki joyfully evolves, adding Karuna Reiki and Reiki Crystal Healing to both modalities for healing and classes to teach. Also new is a wonderful blend of Soul Collage and Reiki. I completed the Soul Collage Facilitator Training at a workshop led by creator Seena Frost herself. Soul Collage is the building of small collages, sized just 5x8 inches, from printed materials - seemingly at random - and then reading from the card using the prompt: "I am the one who..." The joy of creating and the introspection offered from the spontaneous reading both feeds the spirit and amazes one with its ability to pull from your soul messages that inspire, teach, soothe or entrance....
One more exciting item is my listing on the Reiki.org website as a practitioner who has attended and completed trainings as a Reiki Master and Karuna Reiki Master led by world renowned Reiki Master Teacher Laurelle Shanti Gaia. Laurelle Gaia and Michael Baird are the owners of Infinite Light Healing Studies Center at Peace Place in Sedona, AZ. These trainings, over several years were team taught by Laurelle, Michael, and William Rand, creator of Reiki.org and dedicated World Peace proponent. I look forward to many more years of personally discovering Reiki, its many facets, and way to serve the Reiki community as teacher, practitioner and student.
