A full day at my Initiation site.

The 5th sharing in the series of events of my celebration.

Kathleen, Chris, Rosemary ready for the day!

Jean and Hira

Each day of our event activities, early in the morning before breakfast, Hira Reid was busily making sure that there was plenty of water, drinks, snacks and lunch, and ice in all of the coolers and the cars packed up. Chris Piper saw to the details of our dinner being prepared by the kitchen and that it was also packed up. This was our longest day with many far away places to visit. Thank you,
Hira and Chris so much for making it easy for all of us to have what was needed on our outings. Thank you Johanna and Kim for hauling so much in your trucks.

Sitting in my initiation seat of lava

This was the day I had planned for long ago.... my 20th anniversary of being a Reiki Master. Had 20 years already passed. Was I really going to get to show all these people my secluded place where I sat for my Initiation? I had only shown it to a few people over all these years. Was I really going to sit in the same place and wait for wisdom to fill me once again and set out on another unknown journey? Every cell of my body was buzzing. I am so ready for this experience!

Joyce Winough

I had sifted through all the known details of my life, as a Reiki student and Master; my initiations of 1st, 2nd and Master degrees; living and teaching in the Hawaiian Islands: Maui; Hawi, Kamuela, Keaau, Kohala Ranch, Volcano, Big Island; and Honolulu. Remembering the specialness of my first class, which was a 2nd degree class, taught with

Helen following my Master initiation and my first student, Joyce Winough. My Reiki practice in Honolulu, was of 5 years standing, at the time of my master initiation. It was easy to make the shift of a full time commitment of treatments and teaching Reiki. Completing a full circle, I took Reiki into the traditional medical setting and treated all the children with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis.


I remembering feeling the excitement of meeting the Grandmaster, Phyllis Furumoto in Spain and traveling to the Reiki Masters meetings throughout the world, meeting other Masters through the Reiki Alliance all became parts of the fabric being woven into a tapestry. The presence of continued support of Helen Haberly during those years as I was expanding my Reiki wings and then, dealing with the incredible loss of Helen, as my Master and the loss to the Reiki Master community.

Teaching at Kalaupapa, Molokai

Expanding my teachings to far away locations to Cusco and Lima, Peru, Mexico and in the ashram in New York and India. Going 6 years to Kalaupapa, Molokai, where the Colony for Hansons disease patients reside and the incredible teachings that Reiki revealed in working with the spirit realm. The tapestry enlarges as other Reiki experiences lead me along the way. My classes expanded to Huntington Beach, Jamul and San Diego, Ca; New York; Denver Co, El Paso, Pecos and San Antonio, Tx; Las Cruces and Taos, NM; Gig Harbor, Puyallup, Vashon Island and Seattle, Wa; and Anapra Mexico. As this explosion of being in so many places occurred, it opened the door for my developing relationships with students who stepped forward to be my class sponsors. They have filled this space to touch others seeking support in their lives and directing them to the Usui System of Natural Healing. They have become the stepping stones for me to do my life work and to move into completion of my life. How can I ever thank them! This is our celebration together, those present and for those who couldn't join us.

Sponsors, Ca, Hawaii, Wa, Denver, NY

Creating community in my locations have been important over the years. I saw that I eventually needed to narrow the places I taught in, so I could sustain and support the more long standing communities. 1st and 2nd degree reviews were created and have given these communities continued support for the last 15 years. I can always say, "I have never missed a review yet." I donate this time for our gatherings to support my communities. It is very special to me to experience the many years of dedicated Reiki   students seeking Reiki as their healing practice.

The guidance to follow through and create The Healing your Bodies Workshops 1, then 2 and now the newly debut of 3, for my sponsors at this celebration leaves my footprint of healing onto this path. It is a mark of surrender to this simple practice, Reiki. This journey of 20 years of Mastery has filled me with wisdom and compassion. It created space for thousands of people to come forth and be in my life, to walk the path of healing, and to experience Reiki as our teacher. Doubt has never been an experience for me on this path!


Having been a health practitioner, as a physical therapist and a Reiki practitioner over the past 45 years, the wisdom has revealed untold secrets that have led to wellness, wholeness and balance. I sit at treatments tables with a full time practice in many locations, in constant witness of Reiki

A very Happy Day for me!

Receiving

Honoring Helen

The time is now, we are at the initiation site. So much has been planned and yet there is the energy that is always in command. It is felt but not seen and it is honored! The details of the astrological reading for the  latitude and longitude of where we are, is given. I always plan ahead to have this information  available to prepare what this time frame is about and its

impact on us. It opens our awareness to the great energetic surroundings.  There is an astrological alignment which will allow us to release all emotional pain and trauma. This will bring forth the galactic grid and change our DNA. We did Reiki, including a mental emotional treatment on ourselves. There are sharings that validated a long history of support from when I turned 40, which marked a major development on my spiritual path.

We backtracked to the ponds, which are heated from the lava flows underneath going to the ocean. We stayed for a couple hours swimming, floating and sharing of the days activities. It was wonderful to be in the ocean water. It was so cleansing and relaxing. We are no where near finished with our days excursion. We still have to go to the Kalapana vent that has opened and is flowing to the ocean. Viewing has to be done after night fall. Check the next posting for those details. For now, I think I will hang out in the pond for a while longer.
