Who is the Reiki Artist?
Hello, I am Beth Hansen-Buth, Reiki Practitioner,
Intuitive Reader,
and Mystical Fantasy Artist.
For many years I have been living the life of a fantasy artist,
hauling my artwork around to shows, attending Fantasy Conventions
and New Age Expos to share my art. Now a new phase in my life
has begun. Guided by my intuition I am dedicating my life to healing
myself and others. While my art has always been my gift, healing
is my calling.
Discovering Reiki
I had been practicing daily meditation for a little over a
month, and loved working with energy to increase my psychic
awareness as an intuitive reader. It had the added benefit of
giving me clear thinking, balancing my moods and leaving me feeling
refreshed and rejuvinated.
I had been working at my favorite Metaphysical
store Eye of Horus in Minneapolis for quite some time, and
I was aware that Reiki services were offered every week. So I
thought it was time to learn a little bit more about it, and I
asked if anyone could recommend a good book. Reiki Master Maggie
Sterba left a copy of Reiki
by Carmen Fernandez for me to read. I took it home and read
it cover to cover, the energy of Reiki seemed to shine through
the words and the beautiful photographs. Filled with peace and
joy, I knew that Reiki was for me. You could say I was drawn to
Reiki!
Discovering Pranic Healing
I first heard of Pranic Healing when I was at the 2003 Edge
Life Expo in Minneapolis, Minnesota. That weekend I was sick
as a dog with a nasty virus and working twelve hour days selling
my artwork at the show. The booth next to mine was for Pranic
Healing. I spent the quiet moments listening to them explain this
modality to the curious Expo goers, and I got one of the mini-healings
they were offering. It seemed to help. So when I got home, I bought
a book about it, played with the exercises and then signed up
for the class.

Reiki I & II with Reiki Master Kristin Barton
- May 13th & 14th, 2007
When it came time to get my Reiki II training, I decided to take
it from Kristin Barton. Since she was offering a weekend seminar
including Reiki I for another student, she suggested that I come
both days and I'm so glad I did! Read
my blog entry for Reiki II
Advanced Reiki Training with Reiki Master Susan
Aguirre - November 10th, 2007
This is the next step toward becoming a Reiki Master Teacher.
In this class I was attuned to the Master symbol, and received
training in Aura Clearing, Psychic Surgery, as well as how to
work with a crystal grid.
Reiki III with Reiki Masters Maggie Sterba and
Jaimie Zaugg - January 4, 2008
This completed my training to become a Reiki Master Teacher. In
this class we discussed the practice of reiki, advanced distance
reiki techniques including Reiki Stacks, an attunment to the Reiki
Master symbol, and training on how to teach Reiki and pass on
the Reiju or attunment blessing.
Both Reiki and Pranic Healing modalities are wonderful, and since
I've got Gemini for both my Sun and Moon, it makes perfect
sense to me to have double the fun and expertise to offer as part
of my services.
