| In This Issue:   "The only true healers are the Reiki energy and the body receiving the energy." John Harvey Gray | 10 New Year's Resolutions for Reiki Practitioners A happy, healthy and prosperous New Year to you! The arrival of 2012 heralds a Great Energy Shift that has been prophesied since ancient times. On the winter solstice of December 21, 2012, the planet Earth and all life on it will shift to higher dimensions, bringing forth a higher energy. This shift has already begun. We can use this new energy to bring powerful changes and healing to our lives. As we start 2012, let's reflect for a few minutes on some of the most important goals for Reiki practitioners to add to their New Year's resolution lists. 1. Resolve to practice Reiki self-treatment regularly. Reiki Practitioners who practice Reiki self-treatments experience substantial benefits to their overall health, i.e., physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Make daily Reiki self-treatment a new habit for 2012. 2. Resolve to start a daily Reiki meditation practice. Reiki meditation (meditating while you practice Reiki self-treatment) reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and improves immune function. There are hundreds of benefits to meditation validated by more than 600 studies. 3. Resolve to eat healtier foods. Reiki is intimately connected to nutrition. Hawayo Takata always combined sound nutritional principles with the practice of Reiki. By doing so, you will get better results from your Reiki sessions. Remember, you are what you eat. 4. Resolve to make the time to give Reiki sessions regularly to others. Help friends, family members and pets to be healthier and feel better by giving them regular Reiki sessions. 5. Resolve to review what you have learned in Reiki class. Review your notes from your Reiki classes and brush up on what you already know, or take a Reiki class to review the material you have learned earlier. 6. Resolve to improve your Reiki skills. Select a Reiki skill that needs improvement and practice it. 7. Resolve to incorporate Reiki while on your spiritual path. Reiki is not just for giving sessions. Reiki is a way of life. Reiki gently teaches you the lessons you need to learn and guides you forward on your spiritual path. 8. Resolve to apply the Reiki skills you have learned to other areas of your life. Find creative ways of using Reiki. For example, give Reiki to your food before eating, to your drinking water, and to your house plants. 9. Resolve to share your knowledge of Reiki with friends and family. Spread the good word. Tell your friends about Reiki. 10. Resolve to continue with your Reiki education. Become a more powerful and effective healer. There is much more to be learned ...  See Schedule of Classes Now Reiki Gift Certificates at 15% off! Reiki: The gift that lasts a lifetime.

This energy is all around us, and we can channel it. The Reiki process is a simple method of hands-on healing as developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, a minister from Kyoto, Japan. After training, Reiki energy flows through the arms and hands of the Reiki healer and into the cells of the person being treated. The energy is used to normalize the physiological processes of the body. It helps to reestablish balance and harmony on the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes so that the natural function is restored. Reiki differs from other healing methods in that a specific attunement process is used to prepare students for the flow of healing energy. This protects them from either transmitting or absorbing any negative energetic patterns. By the end of this First Degree Reiki Class you will be able to: - Deliver effective and powerful Reiki treatments for yourself, family, friends, clients and pets.
- Use Reiki to heal any condition--physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.
- Treat injuries and accidents with Reiki.
- Understand the purpose of the chakras and how they work, and utilize the information intuitively to bring balance and healing to the self or others. Scan the chakra centers of the person receiving treatment and perceive areas of reduced vitality flow.
- Channel Reiki energy into yourself or others, and sense the energy as it flows through your hands.
- Appreciate how attitudes can create dis-ease in the mind and emotions, and how the physical body might be affected.

OUR CD EMOTIONALITY IN THE CHAKRAS AND BALANCING MEDITATION IS AVAILABLE NOW John Harvey Gray's groundbreaking theory and balancing meditation were developed based on his many years of experience teaching and practicing Reiki. Extending on Wilhelm Reich's theory of body armoring, John demonstrates how emotional tension, held in the muscles, decreases the energy flow in the chakras and deprives them of essential life force. John then teaches you a very short but extremely powerful meditation to release this tension, balance your chakras and improve your overall energy level. Understanding and developing the body's energy centers, i.e., the chakras, enables you to accelerate your spiritual advancement. Practicing the chakra balancing meditation brings a deep sense of peace and balance within the self. As you continue using the chakra balancing meditation, you will enjoy a greater sense of mental clarity, emotional balance and spiritual awareness.
