Grieving Lost Students
Recently, there has been much death surrounding my heart. Over the last two years as Shihan, the issue of letting go of students has always been there for me. It isn't easy letting go of any relationship, however, as a teacher it is so hard watching your students struggle with the material, especially when it has to do with dealing in patterns of human behaviour.
Every teacher has their own way of imparting the teachings of Reiki that have been passed down from teacher to student over the last 90-something years. However, we do not simply teach techniques for healing with our hands. We employ a variety of teaching methods gleaned from our various holistic trainings (it's like collecting Baseball or Pokemon cards: ya gotta catch 'em all!) However, Reiki is not just the energy exchange of light. This is only one level of living: using the technique purely for the sole healing role of healing touch. What some of us teachers employ, in addition, are the mechanisms BEHIND this light: the analysis of behaviours, environments, traumas, and the necessary lifestyle changes that require a firm and grounded approach to healing. Yet, changes in behaviour is easy to intellectualize, changing the choices students make and their awareness is another entirely. They are stubborn, and sometimes violent. Not everyone likes to be shown the darker truths that lie behind our western civilization's way of living. Yet, these choices affect the healing energy we possess within us, whether it is enhanced or depleted, the experience of not only our students but in turn their clients will be impacted.
So, with that in mind, as I write this novel of a paragraph, I ask you read the following with that in context. I sit here, writing my next chapter in my Shihan Handbook and the issue of students is paramount. Finding the students, students finding you, their experience, different teaching roles, different exercises to utilize… We spend so much time building up our teaching muscles that we forget sometimes that inevitably the students leave us. They leave us not because they do not find our material enriching, nourishing, or of substance; but because life takes hold of them and shakes them all about in a very unsettling way. The abuses of the world, including the ones we inflict upon ourselves, are incredibly powerful. However, as you will see with the turning of these pages is that it is not the only such power in the world.
The following is an excerpt from my forthcoming book.
Read it. Meditate upon the words. It's up to you whether you chew it up & digest it, or just spit it out. Either way, feedback is incredibly welcome.
Blessed be the work of our hands and voices.
The screens we use serve to beautify the teaching.
But, remove the screen and what remains?
The light, which with all its shine and splendor is expressionless. It is the projector, but we and our teachings give it personality, we give it humanity. We add words and culture and colour and texture and form. With our experience, we pull flavour from the light in hopes of explaining the unexplainable. Ultimately, we prepare the student until that one day they peak behind and behold the flame. Hopefully, with enough training, they are not burned but wrapped in the same ecstasy we have discovered. Every teacher tries and attempts and hopes for this. Yet, some students inevitability will not be enraptured, but to the contrary, consumed by the heat of the Source.
In their haste, they do not develop the armour to withstand the inferno.
Teachers remember, this is not your doing but theirs. Theirs is a path chosen, not offered. Above all things, do not blame yourself. You are the screen, you are the teaching. If the student decides to toss you aside, what is to be expected?
Take us away, and the candle blows out. Take our protection away, and the fire grows out of control. Yet too, on occasion, the lucky chosen student enlightens… But again when egos are too large for their eyes, they do not see or feel what is happening. Disillusioned by grandeur or lost interest in discovery, students will disappoint. And they will suffer for it. As teachers, we will inevitably lose some, and… we will feel their pain…
Remember… we can hope the best, but we must also accept the contrary.
Remember, we are teachers not God. All we can do is as instructed by our Master's Masters: teach those who diligently seek our teaching with kindness, and never give up hope on those who turn away from us in anger or out of fear for what they might discover behind the screen.
Shinpiden Usui Reiki Hikkei – Makafushigi: The Mystery
Shinpiden Usui Reiki Level 3 for Masters
$265 (49 Hours) TWO 5-hour days, followed by THIRTEEN 3 hrs. Seminars
This class is offered as an ecourse and locally with an interactive online component. The Third Level focuses on spiritual healing as you learn how we are expressions of the Divine Source, how our movements are an aspect of this greater movement. It is at this level that the Usui Master and Grounding Symbols, as well as other nontraditional symbols are taught. Shinpiden prepares students to pass along the Reiki tradition, and this is where students take Reiki Vows possibly for the first time in their lives. Students will also learn the skill of Chado Tea Ceremony. This course expands from an initial 2-day workshoppe, which will give each student hands-on practice and facilitate a better understanding of what it means to become a Sensei. Students will be required to complete 10 hours of unpaid reiki therapy and 5 hours of community service at a local place of worship, garden, park, hospital, homeless shelter, nursing home, or non-profit. In order to receive certification, students will keep a journal documenting a Usui 21-day detox for purification and energetic clarity; and 40-day challenge, over the period of this 13 month course.
PREREQUISITES: Usui Reiki 1 Certification , Usui Reiki 2 Certification, and Advanced Usui Reiki Certification from me or another Reiki Master Teacher. However, an interview tea will need to be completed to see where you and your studies are currently at. You may not be ready for this level, or perhaps will be better suited to a higher level of course study.
REQUIRED Third Degree class materials include:
- Completion of all the above PREREQUISITE materials
- Holistic Arts Institute Usui Reiki Level III Handbook (2012) (PDF File)
- Gaian Tarot deck by Joanna Powell Colbert

A Letter from Me to You
Being a Reiki Sensei is simple, but not easy.
It is doing everything we have done before, but differently.
When we begin exploring Reiki, we study, read, and consume knowledge like it is candy. Then, we slowly realize that this is not just a one day, or a one 21-day thing. We slowly realize this is going to take work, and sweat, and many tears, and even a stronger sense of humour. Because not only do we study, read, consume knowledge like it is candy, but we do. We do the exercises, we do what the great teachers and books say. We do the meditations; we make the necessary lifestyle changes for our health. And then, we walk our talk.
We study, read, consume, do, and then LIVE what we have learned and continue to learn. Being a Master Teacher is like being a student all over again, but with insight. It is having done it and breathed it and lived it, but continuing to do it, breathe it, and live it. It is having eyes to See, words to Speak, noses to Smell, ears to Listen, hearts to Love, and hands to Touch the world. We have grown and grown to accept that yes we are mentors and examples, but that we are also human.
We have bad days just like everyone else.
We cry, we yell, we get bad. We break up, we drink, we may even cuss. But we also love, unconditionally, and nurture ourselves and are kind enough to ourselves, because we Know- capital K, that we are still human.
We don't go around wearing all white and throwing glitter. We aren't now magically exempt from the suffering of the world because we are Master teachers. We are the wounded warriors of the soul. Through all the other levels and the more to come, we have become members & now leaders of the Scar Clan. With each passing day, we have grown to carry more and more of the suffering of the world in our hands, but we do not allow it to bog us down. Because as Master Teachers, when we peer into the darknesses of the world, and within ourselves, it is not that we are no longer afraid, it is that we know we have the cajones & ovarios enough to persevere and jump into the thick of it regardless.
Yes, to be a Teacher we have much work to do for others and the Universe, but especially for ourselves. Because yes, we may be "Masters," but we have not yet reached mastery. But as Masters, we Know; we know that we do not have to do it alone.
Back to the Training
Each student will Master the following Coursework over the course of the following year at different Reiki Dharma Seminars:
- Reverence for Life 301
- True Happiness, Love & Intimacy 301
- Deep Listening & Loving Speech 301
- Nourishment & Healing 301
- Global Ethics 301
- Mystical Laundry 301 (In One Voice Documentary)
- Forgiveness & Reconciliation 301
- Mature Spiritual Language & Awakened Emotions 301
- Laughter of the Wise 301
- Reiki Ceremony & Ritual 301
- Chado: The Way of Tea 301 (Fieldtrip)
- Dharma Tales 101
- Oxherding 101
Each student will be attuned to Reiki 3 at the end of each training. The attunement is a process that happens between the Reiki Master/Teacher and the student. As the auras of the two people meld together, the student's energy channels open and obstructions or blockages start to release. Each time a person receives an attunement, a larger percentage of this density releases. With less obstruction, the light of the Universe flows brighter and more in phase, like a coherent laser beam. Each Reiki Master has their own way of passing attunements, and various methods are valid. I just so happen to attune people at a Buddhist Temple sometimes. You needn't be Buddhist or even religious to participate. All faiths/non-faiths are welcome!
An attunement does not give you anything new; it opens and aligns what is already a part of you. Attunements offer a sacred moment, a memorable crossing from one phase of life to another. It heightens and strengthens your capability to send healing outward into the world to your family, friends, and community. During an attunement, as many different things are experienced as there are initiates. Some see colours, others see pictures, and still others recall past lives. Some are filled with light or a feeling of total peace, wonder or love. Some may perceive more than others do. When asked to place their hands upon someone else to bring the energy through, the new Reiki healer may experience for the first time the Reiki characteristic of heat radiating through their hands.
We will all meet at The Interfaith Center in Albany by 8:30am for the training. There will be a break for lunch around noon, (Please bring your own homemade food, I only ask that it be fresh and organic to help facilitate your attunement process.) Herbal waters, Tea, and Healthy Refreshments will be provided. After lunch we will discuss some more followed by a meditation and attunements. After the attunements, I will give you all some time to talk amongst yourselves, meditate and possibly write/reflect in your journals. Then we will all gather for a walk to Washington Park, followed by a Japanese dinner at the Shogun restaurant.
Japanese Tea Ceremony Location TBD, possibly at Kaji Aso Studios in Boston, MA.

Once again students are asked to develop their personal practice before moving on to the Fourth Level of Shihan Secret Teachings. (COMING SOON!)
150th Birthday of Usui Sensei
It isn't every day that you get to turn one-hundred and fifty.
You fasted, you reached enlightenment, then stubbed your toe, and became the teacher of us all.
So many people are honouring you tonight, but all I can do is chuckle at the fact we only have two images of you, and let's face it, the one not on my altar tonight is the one I like the very best because it makes you look oh-so pregnant.
Like seriously, watermelon sized pregnant. Like 9 months extended and ready to pop!
I say this humbly because I know you and I have that kind of relationship. You poke fun at me, and I poke fun of you; but seriously Sensei, some days I wonder if you took the Buddha's teaching of "nothing survives without food," a tad bit too seriously.
The fact of the matter is, there was no waist-watcher's in the 1920's but I guess we all know how you survived for 21-days up on that mountain, or what patterns you either resumed or created once you came back down.
All jokes aside though, we do honour you tonight. You have offered so much wisdom over the past 150 years, and we would all be remiss if we didn't. So, my birthday present to you is as such since you so very much loved waka poetry:
Not everyone dies quietly, some go out with a laugh.
Not everyone dies longingly, some go out with a fight.
Not everyone dies honourably, some go with a bed pan underneath their bottom.
Not everyone dies gracefully, some go as you went:
with comfort, a full heart, and of course
a pair of worn chopsticks somewhere nearby.
Merry birthday to you and that Buddha Belly.
May you continue to inspire us all as the years go by.
Keibyaku (with humility)
Your number one fan,
Healey Sensei, "Derek-san"
Reiki Holidays
I've been meditating on Reiki Holidays for some time now. Like any path, or philosophy, there are specific cultural holidays and festivals that keep the spirit alive. I have added the following list of observable holidays that anyone wishing to strengthen and deepen their Reiki Practices can choose to do.
For the longest time, I have been gathering people together during moon days, equinoxes, and solstices. These I feel are observances that are so under appreciated! They ground us in the natural world, which keeps our energies grounded and in tune with not only nature herself, but the global energy climate and system as a whole. These moments and more, are doorways for us to tap into the collective pool of energy and see how we are impacted, and paradoxically (if we are clever) moments in which we can tap in ourselves to impact the world for the better.
These are all great opportunities to strengthen not only your own intuition, but also wonderful opportunities to strengthen your Sangha, or spiritual community. During these moments we come together to share stories, to hold Reiju Healing Circles, and heal our communities. By gifting ourselves with these moments we succeed in keeping our spiritual wells full and overflowing with energy. As healers, we MUST take and make the time for these very important self-care gatherings.
Uposatha (Observance Days) – The four monthly holy days which continue to be observed in Theravada countries – the new moon (Shingetsu), full moon (Mangetsu), and quarter moon days. Tsukimi are Full Moon Viewing Parties to reflect on the beauty of the moon, drink tea/sake, listen to koto music, and recite waka poetry.
1 January – Oshogatsu or Shogatsu (Shinto New Year) – Shintoists consider this holiday one of the most popular celebrations, where many shrine visits take place.
7 January – Koshogatsu – This is the Shinto rite to honor Goddess Izanami, partner of God Izanagi. Together they created the Nature and the Kami (cosmic energies) as the Shintos believe.
3 February – Rissun (Setsubun) – This day when the Shinto community celebrates the beginning of Spring. Traditional celebrations include throwing of beans at the Shrines. The priests throw lucky beans towards the gathering while the people who assemble there attempt to catch them. At homes, the eldest male member is supposed to throw around roasted beans which is believed to send away demons and welcome good luck.
17 February – Toshigoi – This is the Shinto rite to honor Kami and to offer prayers so that they are blessed with a bountiful rice harvest.
March – Avalokitesvara's Birthday (Kuan Yin) – This is a festival which celebrates the Bodhisattva ideal represented by Avalokitesvara. Who represents the perfection of compassion in the Mahayana traditions of Tibet and China. It occurs on the full moon day in March.
3 March – Hina-matsuri (Festival of Dolls or Girls' Day) – This is the day when girls are honored. Prayers are offered for the health and the well beings of young girls. It is a common tradition for families with little girls to decorate a multilevel podium covering it with red carpet ad placing ornamental dolls on it as per the tradition of hierarchy. Offers like rice cakes, peach blossoms etc are put before them.
9 March 1926 – Usui Sensei's Deathday – A time to honour Usui and his wonderful legacy.
21 March – Shubun-sai (Spring Equinox) – This is the day when the Shinto community embrace fresh new spirits. The homes are given a thorough spring cleaning. People often visit the cemeteries of their ancestors and pay homage and leave fresh flowers as a mark of remembrance. This is also the beginning of the National Cherry Blossom Festival which lasts until April 17th in Washington D.C.
April 1922 – Usui Sensei Opens Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (Usui Reiki Healing Method Society), his first school/clinic in Harajuku Tokyo.
May – Vesak or Visakah Puja (Buddha Day) Traditionally, Buddha's Birthday is known as Vesak or Visakah Puja (Buddha's Birthday Celebrations). Vesak is the major Buddhist festival of the year as it celebrates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha on the one day, the first full moon day in May, except in a leap year when the festival is held in June.
30 June – Oharai/ Grand Purification Festival – This is the Shinto rite of exorcising evil from the world. Devotees are cleansed and purified from offenses committed.
21 June – Geshi (Summer Solstice) – Morning misogi done in the Pacific. It is timed to coincide with sunrise on the year's longest day. Participants dress in white
13 July – Ulambana/ Obon – Beginning on the thirteenth of July and lasting for three days, which celebrates the reunion of family ancestors with the living.
6 August 1945 – Hiroshima Day – The day of ceremony to commemorate the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
15 August 1865 – Usui Sensei's Birthday – A wonderful chance to come together and celebrate the teachings of Usui Sensei.
1 September 1923 – Great Kanto Earthquake
21 September – International Day of Peace & Shuki kōreisai (Autumn Equinox) A day of gratitude and thanks for a good harvest.
8 October – Gandhi Jayanti (Gandhi's Birthday) – Gandhi Jayanti is marked by prayer services and tributes all over India, especially at Raj Ghat, Gandhi's memorial in New Delhi where he was cremated. Themes of glorifying peace, non-violence and Gandhi's effort in Indian Freedom Struggle. Gandhi's favourite bhajan (Hindu devotional song), Raghupathi Raghava Rajaram, is usually sung in his memory
November – Loy Krathong (Festival of Floating Bowls) – At the end of the Kathin Festival season, when the rivers and canals are full of water, the Loy Krathong Festival takes place in all parts of Thailand on the full moon night of the Twelfth Lunar month (November in western calendars). People bring bowls made of leaves (which contain flowers) candles and incense sticks, and float them in the water. As they go, all bad luck is suppose to disappear. The traditional practice of Loy Krathong was meant to pay homage to the holy footprint of the Buddha on the beach of the Namada River in India.
23 November – Niinamesei (Labor Thanksgiving Day) – This national holiday takes place in Japan and was originally meant as a harvest festival, allowing people to appreciate their harvest and have a chance to share in the joy with Kami.
8 December – Bodhi Day (Enlightenment Day) – Bodhi Day honours the enlightenment of Siddhartha Gautama — the Buddha. Buddhists observe the importance of this event by celebrating Bodhi Day usually on the eighth of December. The day is observed in many ways, including prayer, meditation and teachings.
21 December – Shunki kōreisai (Grand Ceremony of the Winter Solstice) – This day marks the end of the sun's decline (the yin period) and the beginning of its growth (the yang period). In Japanese spirituality, the sun is expressive of Amaterasu Omikami, the sun goddess and guiding spirit of the Japanese people.

Here is an excerpt from my Reiki 2 eBook:
A Personal Letter from Me to You
"We all desire to bring joy and healing to others. I doubt very much that you wake up each day hoping to harm another. I doubt very much that you wake up wishing to harm yourself. However, these things still happen. No matter what we wish for ourselves or loved ones, we all at one point or another fall into the arms of predators that would take our grace and transform it into discord. And sometimes beloveds, yes, we are the predators. Everyone has the ability to manipulate, regardless if our intentions are "pure" or "dark."
From the very moment we were all born into this world, we have been poked and prodded into making materialistic and selfish choices based on what everyone else has been manipulated into wanting. However, at some point we realize what has happened. We realize that we have given away our vital energy over to another, whether it is an outside force or the sabotaging force of the false-ego. If you are reading this letter, let it be known that you have finally come to realize this. Your awareness has been opened with Usui Reiki Ryōhō. You have begun your own hero or hera's journey within.
You have begun to understand the concept of letting go of things that which no longer serve you, and it is my wish that you continue onward. Ever vigilant. This next phase of your journey, in my opinion, is "where shit gets real." You're in for a series of layer removals. You're in for a series of awareness changers. You're in for a series of moments of pure enlightenment. You're in for a series of wondrous, albeit scary transformations. Celebrate these moments Beloved! For all of the life's many lessons are designed with you in mind.
Only you can live your life. Only you can choose Love over Fear. Only you can do your journey. Only You can do "The Work." It will be your decision to either stop and close your eyes from time to time, or to keep going despite the hardship. Okuden Reiki is the world's most large and clearest of mirrors; truly. There will be life-held beliefs that you have held close to your heart that will inevitably be released. Some of the most fundamental, some of your deepest ego's opinions are about to be challenged. By whom? Well, by yourself, no your Self. Capital-S. By your guides. By your fellow peers. By your family and friends. By the animals that will begin to come into your life filled with wisdom and medicine. By the winds and the very Source of Reiki itself. So buckle up, it's gonna be a bumpy ride; and by the time this rollercoaster ends I promise that you will be a much different person.
May you find the compassion and joy around every corner to battle your own demons. May you have the courageous vulnerability to ask yourself the hard questions and then respond with the hardest of answers to speak. May you continuously remind yourself of the Unconditional Love that you possess for all of Earth's children, including yourself. Awaken your heart, awaken your mind, awaken your spirit Beloved. Dig deep, and know that I am really here for you. I know you are there, and it makes me very happy. I know that you are suffering, that is why I am here for you. So please toss your pride aside and ask for help when you need it. Listen deep to my words. You will learn to speak with Love again. You will restore peace within yourself. Through the energy of mindfulness, you shall care for your pain. Lastly allow me to end with an excerpt from True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart. There is such wisdom in these words.
"Truly there is no battle between what is deemed good and evil, positive and negative by humanity's limited understanding. There is only the care given by the big brother to the little brother. We can observe, we can choose to act in a nondualistic fashion, and thus the waste materials of the conscious mind can always be transformed into flowers of compassion, love, and peace. Our consciousness is a living thing, something organic in nature. There are always waste materials and flowers in us. The gardener who is familiar with organic gardening is constantly on the alert to save the waste materials because he knows how to transform them into compost and then transform that compost into flowers and vegetables. So be grateful for your pains, be grateful for suffering – you will need them. We have to learn the art of transforming compost into flowers. The flower is on its way to becoming refuse, but the refuse is also on its way to becoming a flower. There is nothing to throw away. If a person has never suffered, he or she will never be able to know happiness. If a person does not know what hunger is, he or she will never know the joy of eating every day. Thus pain and suffering are a necessary condition of our understanding, of our happiness. So do not say that you do not want to know anything about pain or about suffering, that you only want to know about happiness – that would be an impossible thing. We know well that suffering helps us to understand, that it nurtures our compassion, and that for this reason it is vitally necessary for us. So we must know how to learn from suffering, we must know how to make use of it to gather the energy of compassion, of love, of understanding."
And so, I dedicate this book to you and your quest for living the Reiki Way. Without anger. Without fear. With diligence, and gratitude, and above all else, with Love.
Introduction: Welcome to Okuden Usui Reiki Ryoho "The flow of life is composed of various streams of energy . . . our impulses for security, happiness, power, love, creativity, insight, and self-actualization all move together to form our unique life expression. In living this expression, we find our flow—the universal rhythm within that is the infinite source of joy, balance, harmony, and love. We begin our journey by establishing our core sense of security as the stable basis for all the growth to come." – Deepak Chopra
So now begins your Reiki II Intensive, a second wave of insights that will expand your awareness and allow your old negative patterns of behavior to fall away like leaves. Reiki II is all about emotions, trauma, and deep energy work. We learn to shape and mold our past, present, and futures. Beloved, it is best to now prepare yourself to experience one or several "Dark Nights of the Soul," otherwise known as "The Belly of the Whale." There will be moments in all of our lives when we feel like we are at rock-bottom, but do not fear. We need these moments. We need them to grow and to see the error of our ways. I will first explain the meaning of this "Dark Night of the Soul" and follow it with how to deal with it with self-acceptance and compassion. Experiencing these moments also prepares us to help guide our clients as well as our potential students. Furthermore, the more we understand about this realm, the more we will be able to navigate it with albeit tears, but also humbled grace."
Back to the Training
After the initial training day, each student will be given a series of Reiju Attunements during the Lunar Dharma gatherings. These Reiju attunements are traditionally given to students from a Sensei in order to facilitate stronger Reiki flow and to increase intuitive and healing abilities. These are also a wonderful time to receive healing for your personal endeavors and wounds.
- 6 New & Full Moon Reiki Dharma Seminars on Women Who Run With the Wolves
- 7 New & Full Moon Chakra Dharma Seminars
We will all initially meet at The Interfaith Center in Albany, and later Dharma gatherings will be TBD, but will follow a lunar cycle.
We will always open with a check-in with our inner energies, and add names to the Healing Altar. There will be a brief meditation, and group exercise. As the trainings progress we will learn together how to best apply the teachings we will be receiving in our own lives.
We will break for potluck dinner and then end by weaving our prayers for healing and growth.
- A notebook and pen.
- A crystal of your choice for concentration.
- A healthy foodstuff, and water/tea bottle.
- A walking stick (not required)
- A yoga mat (not required)
- Please dress comfortably and accordingly. (It gets quite cold OCTOBER-APRIL.)
(Bring a sweater/hoodie should it get cool. This is a RAIN/SNOW or SHINE event.)
-Please feel free to bring non-toxic bug spray/sun block since this will be an all day event until around 5pm. (MAY-SEPTEMBER)
TRAINING COST: The training cost is $150 and non-refundable to help pay for course materials and time. (You will need to PREPAY a $50 deposit for your Book Bundle in order to secure your spot.) Other training out there can be very expensive, and so in a way to help and teach everyone of every financial situation I have created the above price, alternative payment options and this Scholarship.
Okuden Book Bundle – $50 US
Tuition – $95 US
Training Room Fee – $5 US
If you for some reason miss a class, you will automatically be added to the next month's training date, and an additional $35 US will have to be charged. Of course things come up and happen, however I have to secure and maintain the training space and this allows us to keep running. If students never showed up, we would not be able to maintain the center.
Please be considerate and respectful of other students and your teacher.
You will be attuned the day of the training, however, as stated above you will not be certified until you complete the following criteria:
- Completed Reading of Shoden, Okuden & Advanced Book Bundles
- Complete Emotional & Mental Detox
- Complete 40-Day Facing Fears & Inner Demons Challenge
- Complete PROJECT: 50 Random Acts of Kindness
- Complete 1 Peace Vigil Walk
- Complete all 13 Reiki Dharma Seminars
- Completed PROJECT: Childhood Ofrenda
- Completed Women Who Run with the Wolves Meditation Journal
- Completed 7-Chakras Deep Trauma Work Journal
- Complete Oral Presentation (10 Question Final Exam)
Study Guide will be provided before hand in order to study.
Students are expected to practice Reiki daily, obey the Five Principles, make an effort to live those principles in their daily lives, encourage mental & emotional growth, practice Hatsureiho daily for self-cleansing & spiritual enhancement, and to continue spiritual development by attending regular training seminars to receive extra Rei-ju attunements for cleansing, purification, and to strengthen their abilities to access Reiki.
THIS is also open to any degree practitioner for a tune up/refresher. ((This course is also available as an eCourse)) (*If you are interested in the class/distanced eCourse, message me: http://www.facebook.com/healey.derek )

Learning Reiki is a wonderful accompaniment to anyone, especially though with working in social work & healthcare field. It reminds us to take care of ourselves as we take care of others, and it also reminds us that everyone no matter who they are is on their own journey. It reminds us that none of us are free from experiencing suffering, and that we should all find compassion in our hearts to accept this. Once again students are asked to develop their personal practice before moving on to the Third Level of Spiritual Healing & Teaching. The Second Degree training prepares the student to practice the healing system of Reiki at a professional level. Doing Reiki Level 2 is more intense than Reiki 1 because it begins the deep descending journey into the human psyche. This is where you venture farther into this life and beyond. Into living the Reiki Way every day, even if you seem to fail. This is where you begin the reclaiming of your personal security, sexuality, esteem, love, truth, wisdom, and connection to all that is. Buckle up, and smile! It's gonna be a bumpy ride…
Living the Reiki Way with Kindness
Kindness should be a no-brainer in this line of work, but unfortunately I have met some pretty nasty "Reiki Practitioners." Which is just sad.
But with every profession, there are always going to be a few rotten tomatoes, which is just something you have to shrug off, laugh at, and send energy to.
With all my studies and practices, especially as a pacifist and animal lover/vegetarian, I take this one extra seriously, more so than my views on "Diligence."
I have come to realize that there is "no place for prejudice, harsh judgment, cruelty, or indifference in a world where we are all connected, all a part of the whole, and all one." Everyone and thing has a vital role to play and obviously be valued, respected, and treated with kindness.
Kindness in my opinion, is not only the concept of compassion for oneself and others, but of all sentient beings. This being animals, insects, trees, you name it. We as energy practitioners must know by this stage that our environments, actions, and thoughts impact our energy and our higher self, not to mention our awakening. If you use phrases like "I hate," or "kill it!" you probably haven't mastered this precept. And yet again, that is alright. We all develop at different stages. I may take it a bit farther than my omnivore compatriots, but that's okay. I'm not a die-hard vegetarian. I eat diary, and occasionally some meats and egg products, but within reason. I eat organic, free-range, fresh from the farm, eggs without chemicals or hormone. I eat wild game that is killed with reverence and honour, where the entire animal and it's spirit is respected and given proper ceremony. It's a once a year kind of thing, and don't think I eat a whole steak, because that would just kill my insides. (Talk about using "kill" language.)
My point here is of ahimsa, to do no harm. To all our brother and sister friends. To the furred, finned, feathered, and scaled. To the earth mother and universe as a whole. We need to be the peace we wish to see in the world. If we are diligent in our own personal development, we have to care enough about the larger and bigger picture: the whole of humanity and planet.
I have a thick background in environmentalism, so this one was a no brainer, but I feel that in this day and age of climate change; we 90's children that grew up on watching Captain Planet should have the concept of recycling down pat. Bottom line: be kind to our mother.
Furthermore, as practitioners, we already have an open-mind about certain things. Our vernacular is pretty expansive, it is blended with countless faiths and spiritual teachings from around the world. So embrace that, show that. Treat all beings with respect (and this is where it becomes tricky) even the ignorant or smelly ones.
We all are prone to making judgments based on appearance, based on creed, and based upon people who have hurt us in the past. We project those illusions onto everyone else out there, as if the whole of humanity has done us wrong, or that everyone with the name Kevin is going to be a psycho-path. This isn't true. Life mirrors our inner selves. So the things we dislike in others, is what we dislike in ourselves. The actions of others that annoy us, are actually things we have done in the past that we may feel guilt or shame for. (If not in this lifetime, in our past lifetimes this is certainly true.)
There shouldn't be an "Us versus Them," anywhere in your Reiki Practice. We all have done it all.
There shouldn't be an "My Reiki is better than Your Reiki," anywhere in your Reiki Practice. Because it is all the same at the core. There is no contest to see who wins or loses.
There shouldn't be an… oh, well, you get the picture. Be nice!
And begin with yourself.
What was the last kind thing you have done for yourself, and it better not just be a "self-healing." It's time to raise the bar here now people.
The time has come to stop resenting yourself, being over critical, and carrying around your guilt.
After all, Jesus didn't say to love your neighbor better than you love yourself!"
And this is a tricky one for us Reiki Practitioners out in the thick of it all, myself included. Sometimes, we can fall into the trap of always trying to help others and forgetting to look after ourselves. (That important stuff we all learned way back in Reiki 1).
So it is time to be treat yourself right. It is time to meet your Higher Self and Inner Child and treat them with as much loving kindness as you do others. Nourish and nurture yourself. Because, in the words of Marianne Williamson, "our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us – it's in everyone! Ans as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others!"
Now would be a great time to do the exercises on pages 198, and 202.
30 Tips for Living with Loving-Kindness

- Remember, "Kindness in words creates confidence."
- Remember, "Kindness in thinking creates profundity."
- Remember, "Kindness in giving creates love."

Madre Labs CafeCeps Instant Coffee
Rich and strong coffee despite the small qty in satchet.
Less knee discomfort after 2 weeks
Find the size a little too large to swallow (cos I down 3 at one-go) but do notice slightly less discomfort in my knees after 2 weeks. Will probably continue with a second bottle to observe further improvements. Like the fact it contains other vitamins and Omega 3&6 so I do not need to take additional capsules. :)
Great find!
Easily absorbed upon application and protects well even in air-conditioned room overnight. Does not leave greasy feel the morning after. Too early to comment on the anti-aging claim after 2 weeks' use, but it moisturises well and has a light, pleasant scent.
Great scent!
Fabulous scent! A small amount goes a long way. I use it as shampoo, facewash and shower gel - great cleansing despite sls-free, but a little drying for the hair.
Pleasant all-rounder
A small amount goes a long way! I use it as shampoo, facewash and shower gel, but find it a little drying for hair. Scent-wise, I prefer Jurlique Rose shower gel. For Dr. Bronners, the Hemp Lavender is my preferred choice.
Organic Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
Tastes ok. Convenient and wholesome snack with just a tinge of spiciness. Almost a third of the pack are broken though.
Tried and tested
My family have been using this for the last 2 years - great value for $ based on the efficacy.
Great scent
This was highly recommended by my sis. I have not started using it, but the soap arrived badly chipped with packaging broken.

We stayed here for 2 night during a bike tour of Le Marche. I did a google search before we arrived in town so I had an idea of the location. Very easy to find! The breakfasts were great, staff very friendly. The room was clean and fairly large for Italy. Location in Gubbio was just perfect for walking around the city, and there was a really good Gelato store just down the street.
It rained while we were there, and they had umbrellas by the front door for guests. We used one when we walked to dinner.
Only complaint was a barking dog, but they couldn't control their that!

Insight Cuba launches new people-to-people programmes
The leading provider of U.S people-to-people travel to Cuba, Insight Cuba, is expanding its programmes with the launch of new Specialty Cuba tours. The first tour was the Havana Marathon tour which made its debut in June, and the second was the new 12-day Cuba by Land and Sea tour that started earlier this month.
American tourists planning trips to Cuba will now have more choice when booking cultural programmes with Insight Cuba. The leading U.S "people-to-people" tour operator runs a series of Specialty Cuba tours that are organised around specific events and attractions on the island.
The tour company launched the first in the series - Havana Marathon tours – in June this year, and earlier this month, the 12-day Cuba by Land and Sea tour made its debut which includes six days on land and six days aboard the Louis Cristal cruise ship.
Tom Popper, the President of Insight Cuba, explained:
"It's been generations since Americans could visit Cuba aboard a ship and discover parts of the island not easily accessible by land."
Holidaymakers can choose sailings that depart between January and May and prices start from $5,495 per person, based on double occupancy. The Cuba tour visits the capital city of Havana; Playa Giron, the site of the Bay of Pigs invasion; the UNESCO reserve, Parque Nacional Cienaga de Zapata; and Cienfuegos, before tourists then board the luxury cruise ship for their next leg of the journey which stops at the Isla de la Juventud (Isle of Youth) and the shores of the Bahia de Nipe with a port call in Antilla.
The Havana Art Biennial tour is the third Havana programme in the company's pipeline that will have three departures. Havana and its streets are transformed into a giant outdoor art gallery every two years, where local Cuban and international artists showcase their work.
Insight Cuba was one of the first companies to submit its application for a licence to provide Cuba travel tours for U.S residents when President Obama announced that travellers would be allowed to take holidays to Cuba for professional, educational, cultural, academic and religious purposes in 2011.
The island nation is situated in the Caribbean Sea south of the Bahamas and east of Mexico and over the last 50 years, a U.S-Cuba travel embargo has been in place. The communist island is rich in culture, heritage and history, and is home to pristine white and golden sand beaches, verdant national parks, virgin islands, and the world's second largest barrier reef.

Had a lovely coach trip to Scotland with lochs and glens to there newest hotel. We have been to all there hotel over the years and this is one of there best. The trips getting there and back are a bit arduous but when you get there are well worth it. The Ardgratan hotel is very spacious and well thorough out the room was nice with a great view down the loch. Food was great and plenty of it and staff friendly and very helpful. Day trips out are all included and well worth it to see how lovely Scotland is. We stayed at the hotel one day instead of going on the trip and had a lovely walk round to the other side of the loch. The only downfall was the beds being hard but that maybe because there new and the coffee that's put in the rooms is awful perhaps they should have a costa coffee machine at there hotels. Overall a good holiday and great value for your money.

Not sure whether it's caught up with the lack of other X-Men merchandising, or if an 8 episode run has enough material for a card set, but would enjoy a set for it. Have been looking forward to it and enjoy it so far. Visually I would think the base set would be quite striking! A lot of warmth compared to the usual X-Men colour palettes.

24 years old male from Bhubaneswar asked
I am 23rd year old. I have oral submucous fibrosis. Mouth opening 33 mm. Chewing habit 5 year. Please suggest non surgical treatment.
Quit habits strictly. Seems like you have oral submucous fibrosis (osmf). Kindly consult an oral & maxillo facial surgeon in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need conservative or surgical management for mouth opening depending upon the stage of osmf. Advise full mouth opening, ballooning exercise & side to side movement of the jaw. Wrap 25 to 30 ice-cream sticks, make a bundle, put it between upper & lower front teeth for 15 minutes thrice a day increase 1 sticks each day.

Patients should visit their endodontists (especially trained to perform root canal treatment) or general dentist after the root canal treatment to have proper restorative work completed on the tooth.

Munching foods like apples, pears, carrots or celery after brushing can help in preventing discoloration as they trigger tooth-bathing saliva which helps in keeping the teeth whiter.
63 years old male asked
The inner lining of my mouth has become very sensitive since past 5 years. I find difficulty in eating spicy items, rough items like papad and hot drinks. All my blood test results are normal. Vit B12 levels are near the lower limit , around 250.
Dentist, Pune
The delicate gums can be due to plaque accumulation. Some times it takes the place deep into gums which cannot be cleaned by brushing. Another cause can be due to vitamin deficiency you can take supplements as prescribed by your dentist.
24 years old male from Kolkata asked
I just had extracted my teeth braces which was on my teeth for about 8 months. My dentist gave me a plastic type transparent teeth frame But now a days I am feeling or seeing the gaps between my teeth again. Should I really worry about it. Help.
After removing braces in most of the cases we suggest for retention appliance. The one which is given to you is also used for retention. In case you are seeing spaces again , visit your dentist. Mostly it is not giving proper retention. you can go for fixed retention after consulting your dentist
50 years old male asked
I am 48? years old diabetic form last 22 years and heart patient started my tooth gum problem it start loosening the tooths how I can stop this problem thanks.
We need more investigations to decide upon treatment. You may need deep cleaning along with surgical, gum strengthening procedure. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash after every meals. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks. Advance procedures can be done with laser. Dental tips: - visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

by Dr. Annie Brewer (aka Terese Reynolds)
I'm not saying that I support or regularly partake in binge drinking, but I am wondering if you have a magic cure for the day after having a few too many beers? Hayden, Portland, OR
Start by keeping track of exactly which beers you drank the night before. This can be done by pocketing bottle caps or using the notepad function on your iPhone. The next morning, mix approximately a half ounce of each in a glass with two dashes of Worcestershire, an eight-ounce can of spicy V8, a raw egg white, and the juice of half a lime. Plug your nose and chug. Sound like bullshit? That's because, like every magical hangover cure known to man, it is.
Hangovers happen because alcohol in large quantities is a poison, and the crappy way you feel is your body's equivalent to that moment when you look at an over-packed inbox and decide that some job functions will simply not happen for a day or two. There are, however, actions you can take that are the metaphorical equivalent of bringing the lady in accounting a double-tall soy vanilla latte and a Krispy Kreme before you ask her to pull six months of reports by noon.
The first thing you need to handle is the "broken seal paradox." This states that after drinking the second or third 12- to 16-ounce beer the bladder seems to release a Super Big Gulp of urine for every beer that follows. And the next morning, even though a gallon or so of liquid has passed your lips, you wake up feeling like you've hiked 10 hours through Death Valley with only a tiny bottle of Evian and a melted ChapStick. This is because alcohol is a diuretic and causes your body to drop water faster than a Kardashian drops a man. The over-peeing takes the good sodium out of your body with it. So the number one triage for a hangover is to hit the water bottle or the sports drink hard. Foods like bananas will also help by replacing the precious potassium you sacrificed on the altar of that hardcore IPA.
Though the notion that eating greasy food the morning after a hangover will do anything but cause an eventual gastrointestinal riot is little more than IHOP propaganda, it is true that eating eggs will help speed your eventual recovery. That's because eggs contain a compound called cysteine—the kryptonite of the chemical acetaldehyde, which is the flop sweat released by your liver when faced with metabolizing large quantities of alcohol.
Hair of the dog, though chemically and biologically unsound, will postpone the hangover if you happen to party too hard on Thursday and just need to get through until Friday. It will not so much "cure" as buy you an extra day before the true halo-bending kicks in. And though popping a couple pain relievers may keep your head from fully imploding, avoid all things acetaminophen since they put extra strain on an already taxed liver.
If you are inclined to good planning, make sure you drink as much water as you do beer, and maybe eat a good, stomach-coating greasy meal before you begin imbibing as a preemptive strike against the hangover, but really, once it is done, the only sure-fire cure is laying on your couch and napping through a 10-hour Fresh Prince of Bel-Air marathon.
In wine, the term terroir, or where the grapes are grown, is a big deal. Is this the same for beer? Kyle, Ojai, CA
Absolutely! Not only are hops grown in a similar style to grapes, the region and the variety create all kinds of uniqueness. Though a Cascade hop may be a grandchild of the English Fuggle, it has its own (less woody, and yet still fruity) quality. And though describing each of the 20 or so major hop varietals could fill an entire magazine, BeerAdvocate.com has a good starter list.
Is it legal to ship beer? Sam, Roslyn, WA
Well, as of right now, I wouldn't recommend throwing a six-pack into an "everything ships" UPS box. Wineries have won some pretty sweet victories earning the rights to direct ship to consumers over the years, but beer faces some of the same challenges that are still fueling our national prohibition on hemp-related intoxicants. It's not that hard to make (do not riot, my dedicated master brewers—I didn't say it was easy to make good beer), and it has a seriously variable level of potency. Most states still require some kind of middleman (read: distributors) to do a job that involves picking the beer up from one place and carrying it to another. However, those middlemen sometimes come in the form of "Beer of the Month" clubs. And some large breweries have managed to become "distributors" on their own, but even these are limited by the laws of the states they are shipping to. There are ways to get your latest, greatest home brew from Kennewick, Washington to Tallahassee, Florida, but legally speaking, I would recommend checking your state's particular laws and with your local shipping company.
When dining out, it's always embarrassing to send back anything, even when it is off. But a bottle of beer? During a quiet dinner at a pizza joint, I once sent back a bottle of Moretti. They looked at me as if I was mad, but I swear, the beer tasted like bubble gum. Was it me or was it the beer? And if it was the beer, why? Can beer, like wine, be "corked"? McKenzie, Oakland, CA
Let us begin with the meaning of corked. Though many Cheesecake Factory waiters and the occasional under-informed wine drinker will attribute any ickiness in a bottle of wine from being open too long or going to vinegar from improper storage. Cork taint is actually caused by a chemical (trichloroanisole, or TCA for short) infecting the cork itself. Which means it is technically possible for a beer sealed with a cork to become corked. However, since TCA usually just kills the flavor and aroma of a beverage, and itself is described as smelling like old, wet cardboard, it is unlikely your beer was corked.
Additionally, though I'm not personally acquainted with Moretti, and knowing beer fermented at too high a temperature can develop a "bubble-gum" aroma, I did a little diggin' and found that you likely ordered a Moretti doppelbock, La Rossa. That "bubble-gum" flavor is actually about as unusual in the profile of that style as oak is in chardonnay. What taste is the presence of ethyl butanoate, or esters, which are a flavor compound particularly prevalent in wheat beers. I would need a drunken Bill Nye to go into the chemistry of esters, but let's just say that if you look up the profile of that beer, it is commonly described, as many popular and delicious dark wheat beers are, as having a fruity, banana-y, bubble-gummy flavor.
As a long-time bartender, I will say that sending something back undrunk is not my favorite outcome, but if you avoid the common mistake of treating service professionals as if they intentionally injected your bevvy with ick-juice, and tip appropriately, they will likely not hold voodoo-style grudges against you.
