Visions: How to Work towards your Future Activities

On January 30, RCGW is planning to have a workshop on working towards our visions. "What are visions?", you may ask. Visions are the soul's expression of the future, the blueprint, if you will, the desire that the soul had when it incarnated to create on the earth plane.

The soul blueprint is stored energetically above your 7th chakra, about three feet above your head, according to Integrated Energy Therapy(R). It contains the people, places, and things that will help you with your vision, as well as the desired vision or blueprint itself. For some people, it may involve their desired work or career, for others their loves and relationships, for others their beliefs, spirituality, or struggles. Each vision or blueprint is completely individualized, based on the soul's path to that point. What makes all visions powerful, however, is that their full expression makes the Earth different from it would be without that person's expression. The Earth needs all of us and it is important to the Earth for all of us to work towards our unique expression. It's not just for our small personhood that we work on our vision.

Visions do not need to be specific; they can include the qualities that you want to manifest, if not the substance. Do you want to be powerful or gentle (or both)? Do you want to be famous with large communities or do your work with individuals?

In our workshop, we'll be working with some IET techniques for connecting and manifesting our visions, as well as using some Reiki enlightenment techniques from Gendai Reiki and journeying meditations from Native American shamanism.

Medicine Wheel Healing Workshop - August 2, 2009

Last Sunday, I taught a workshop in Medicine Wheel healing which I shared with Terry Tindall, a student of several years who has taken most of the classes I have offered at RCGW.

The Medicine Wheel is a tool used by Native Americans that uses the four directions to track the movement of time through the stages of our lives, the months of our years, and the animal, plant and crystal guides we can use to help us on this journey.

There is now a beautiful medicine wheel that Terry and I built at the center, sharing its powerful energies with the new/old space on Glasgow Drive. I will be keeping it up until the next new moon on the 20th of August. Please come by and see it at any of the events this month on:

• August 12, Reiki I-II Practice Group
• August 19, Reiki Student Clinic

Or at any sessions between now and the 20th.

A Week in Master-level energies

This week, I spent some time learning new things related to teaching from a Gendai Reiki Shoden, Okuden, Shinpiden and Gokuikaiden (Level one through Master/Teacher) class with Amy Rowland. Gendai Reiki is the name of the modality developed by Mr. Hiroshi Doi, a student of both Western and Eastern styles of Reiki and a member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, the society started by Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system.

Gendai means "Modern" and this is a modern adaptation of the Reiki system that builds on both traditional Western and Eastern styles. During the weekend, Amy gave us 10 attunements (in two days!) which left the three of us feeling very clear, like our spiritual windows had just been washed.

The system simplifies the first level of training and adds a teacher's level that bases the system of teaching on the quest for enlightenment or satori. It is truly a beautiful system and I believe that I will add it to my repetoire of teaching topics over the next year. I need to soak in the energies awhile, however, before I teach it.

Later in the week, I joined four students in continuing their quest for Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki training in a Thursday evening class where I attuned them to the fourth and fifth facets (levels) of the system. These facets help you to set the space for healing and open up to your soul blueprint or design for your life purpose.

On Saturday, March 21, I taught four students the introduction to Crystal Journeying. We worked with six crystals over the day and felt their healing energies take us to the three shamanic worlds and introduce us to our Animal totems and show us about our lives in a different way.

On Sunday, March 22, I completed training for Karen Meyer-Cain to the Master/Teacher facet of the Sekhem-Seichim-Reiki system in her master attunement. I want to thank Jennifer Klang who acted as our "student" in the class for the purpose of receiving the various attunements of the system.

Today, I am having a bit of a rest and getting myself centered to go back to level one next weekend.
