Change is happening here as well, read on for the Reiki Artist Happenings including Reiki Shares, Reiki I Workshop, and Faerie Readings at the Eye of Horus Psychic Faire. I’ve also expanded the website just a titch, so you can scroll to the bottom to learn more about that.

Reiki Artist Happenings for May are:

Reiki Share 1st & 3rd Thursdays

• Thursday May 6th from 7-9 p.m.
• Thursday May 20th from 7-9 p.m.

Having Reiki with many pairs of hands is a wonderful experience, and we learn from each other. Hands on practice for those new to Reiki, or to those who haven’t yet developed a regular self-practice is something that I’m committed to providing as a Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner.

The Reiki Share begins at around 7:00, and I one Reiki table in my Reiki room where up to 6 people (and 3 cats) can gather around and give Reiki.

Our only rule is that in order to receive Reiki at no cost, you have to give Reiki as well. It’s all about sharing the gift of Reiki with one another. If you are a Reiki practitioner who wants to introduce a friend to Reiki, or if you are not a Reiki practitioner and would like to try Reiki for the first time, we will not turn you away! I’m happy to help you learn a little bit more about how energy works and how you can use your hands to heal yourself and others.

Please RSVP and let me know you’re coming either through the Meet-up Group if you’re a member, Click here to check out The Twin Cities Energy & Holistic Workers (TCEHW)!or email me using my contact form if you are not a member: Click here to go to my contact form.

• Sunday May 23rd, 2010 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

The purpose of the Reiki I class is to learn to sense Ki, cultivate Ki and use this knowledge to ground and heal the self and others. The Reiki I Shoden student will get his/her first experience with working with the system of Reiki. This is a full day workshop, with ample time for practice to gain a deep understanding of how this system works. Each student will both give and receive a full reiki treatment as part of the course. The focus is on personal development and spirituality, with an emphasis on the traditional Japanese teachings. My aim as your teacher is to connect all practitioners with Reiki’s true spiritual depth.

Four elements of the system of Reiki will be taught to you including receiving the attunement or reiju, an energy blessing that clear the body’s energy channels. Over the course of the day the body will begin to adjust to this energy. For some students this is experienced as a connection to a new world as perceptions change, renewing balance and harmony.

Each student receives a manual and certificate as a Reiki First Degree practitioner, and ongoing support through my monthly Reiki Shares.

I am now an official Assistant Organizer for the Twin Cities Energy Healers and Energy Workers Meet-up Group, so the Reiki Share is an official event.

I’ve also had some inquiries for Reiki Classes, so I’ve scheduled a Reiki I class for Saturday December 5th. Here are the details:

Reiki I Workshop – Shoden

Shoden is a Japanese word meaning ‘first teachings’. The purpose of the Reiki I class is to learn to sense Ki, cultivate Ki and use this knowledge to ground and heal the self and others. During this class the student will gain experience with four of the Elements of Reiki which are:

Gokai – Develop the spiritual and mental connection using gokai

Kokyû hô – Learn kokyû hô (breathing techniques) appropriate to this level to ground the student.

Tenohira –The physical practice of tenohira (palm-healing) on the self and others for the purpose of healing.

Reiju – Receive reiju (a blessing) from a teacher to develop the student’s energetic connection.

Reiki I Workshop Saturday December 5th, 2009 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.Registration – $100.00 Click here learn more about what you can expect from your Reiki I Workshop from Reiki Artist Beth Hansen-Buth

There were times of extreme frustration as well, especially when I was learning how to paint. Whatever gift I had at drawing, painting was another story entirely. But with years of practice I got pretty good at it.

The traditional way of learning to work with healing energy involves years of practice as well. Whether it’s Tai Chi or Qigong, both involve lots of techniques and years of practice to master. The same is true of many other healing modalities, requiring specific expensive crystals, classes, and detailed procedures.

Reiki starts you out with a gift. In Reiki I, you learn the basics of Reiki in a one day workshop. The simple hand positions, the quieting of your mind, calming yourself with relaxing breathing…and the Reiju blessing increasing your capacity to channel the energy of love: Reiki. That’s the gift, and you can then do Reiki on yourself! So simple.

Unlike learning to paint, learning Reiki II and the symbols was fun and easy. When I was ready to learn the Master level, I took the Reiki ART class first. This one had more techniques, but again they were simple to remember and very useful. In fact, nothing about learning Reiki was frustrating for me at all!

With Reiki, everyone can be gifted.
