Reiki Masters in the NW

Dear Reiki Friends,

Since my twin, Jean Ferris' death in 2015, many of her students have asked for names of other Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Masters in our local areas who are offering ongoing First and Second Degree Classes. I always recommend Collene Delaney in Seattle at www.ReikiNW.com/Delaney and 

Penny Devine in Olympia at www.devinereiki.com. I would encourage you to look at their websites and see their large array of Reiki activities they support.

In addition to Collene and Penny, I, also recommend Joyce  Winough of Green Valley Az. She has performed a fantastic job of new classes, treatments and supporting Jean's students in Honolulu, The Big Island of Hawaii, New Mexico,Texas and Mexico. Joyce will be coming to Seattle on May 21st to teach a special one day Workshop on Reiki: The Aspects and Elements. 

All three of these exceptional Reiki Masters are not only involved in their local groups but have spent decades supporting and being involved in the Global Reiki Community. It is important that each of us continue to bring Reiki to our friends and families and keep the flame of Reiki burning throughout the world.

Invitation to All Reiki Students 

Explore and Contemplate the

Four Aspects and Nine Elements of Usui Shiki Ryoho

 A One Day Seminar 

The Lineage of Usui Shiki Ryoho- from Usui to Hayashi to Takata to Furumoto- has spread throughout the world since Hawayo Takata first brought the teachings and practice from Japan in 1938. For the past thirty five years, Phyllis Furumoto has been the Lineage Bearer of Usui Shiki Ryoho and has been teaching, defining, holding and transmitting the system of Reiki that her grandmother, Hawayo Takata, passed on to her. 

The Four Aspects and Nine Elements are meant to help Reiki students and practitioners go deeper, understand more fully and enhance communication of this practice.

The Aspects describes the nature of the practice and how it touches our life.

The Four Aspects are Healing Practice, Personal Development,

Spiritual Discipline and  Mystic Order.  

The Nine Elements describe the form of the practice: how it is taught, how it is received and how it can be practiced for maximum benefit. 

The Nine Elements are History, Spiritual Lineage, Oral Tradition, Precepts, Initiation, Symbols, Treatments,

Form of Teaching, and Money. 

Find out how each Aspect relates to the other Aspects and how the dynamic of the Aspects creates change and development in your life as a student.  

Find out how the Elements hold you as a student and support your increased awareness of the process of healing.

Joyce is an initiated master of Phyllis Furumoto since 2002 and has been consciously living these Aspects and Elements. This awareness of the system has brought Joyce to a deeper place in her personal Reiki practice and she is excited to share her experiences with you.

Crystals

Today as I placed this crystal at my Reiki Master, Helen Haberly's photo I recall a story that was told to me many years ago. Once a Reiki student asked Helen, "can crystals make Reiki stronger or better?" Helen replied that nothing can affect Reiki energy. It can't be made more powerful nor can it be diminished. She went on to say that over time when treating ourselves or receiving Reiki that many changes take place within ourselves. We become cleansed by the Reiki and that allows us to hold more light and in essence we become crystals. We go out into our world and share that light with all. Thank you Helen for your steady wisdom and the light you shared with so many people. You changed my life and my twin Jean Ferris' life. You did become that crystal.

A New Look for my Reiki Treatment Room

I am displaying the Master's photos that Jean traveled with teaching her classes for 25 years as a Reiki Master. In addition I have displayed my Reiki Master Helen Haberly and my twin Jean C Ferris photos. My Reiki certificates and my Healing Your Bodies 1,2. These were special classes Jean created for her second degree students. The second photo shows the Precepts of Reiki and a pottery piece showing the Reiki Kanji that Alan Goto made. I'm pleased to honor my teachers and the Usui Shiki Ryoho in this way. 

Scattering of Jean Ferris' ashes

On 1 July 2016 our family gathered on board the sailing vessel My Sunshine to disperse her ashes off shore of Honolulu. We treated the ashes one more time. Erin, Jean's daughter scattered the ashes while others threw flower petals. Nancy Berry on board the Hokulea sent a  Reiki treatment while sailing on east coast of Martha's Vineyard. A group on shore also paid tribute. 

Jean would love this. 

Gratitude

I'm so grateful Reiki has been in my life for over 31 years. Helen Haberly, my Reiki Master first came into my life by an article in the local island newspaper about 1982. I knew this was important but the time was not right for me. I waited until June 1985 to meet her at her home on Orcas Island, WA. The 1985 July class in Tacoma ended my 20 year career in the Army as a Physical Therapist and began my journey into the wonderful realms of Reiki-Usui Shiki Ryoho. The timing was perfect.

Reiki, oh, Reiki 

Initiation begins

Lives change forever.

My Recent Surgery and Reiki

Last week I had a resection of my nipple adenoma. I had about 20 people sending me Reiki. About 15 minutes prior to going into the OR I was filled with peace as though a blanket of love was covering me. The resection was short and I checked my energy field over my breast as soon as I awoke from anesthesia. I had told the surgeon that I would not need any pain medication. I took arinica, ice and Reiki the rest of the day and felt well enough to go to my tai chi class at 5:30. I had several hands on treatments over the weekend. I am forever grateful that Reiki has been in my life for over 30 years. 😍❤️😍
