I’m back after weeks and weeks of radio silence. I’ve been through an initiation, spurred from a desire to turn inward. Minimizing contact with the outer world, selectively choosing input, even more selective in my output, I’ve gone on a spiritual journey of integration and healing.

Just this week have I been feeling the trickle of outward flowing energy begin to emerge. Perhaps it’s the harmony I’ve been cultivating on the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, energetic, and financial planes. Perhaps it’s the approach of the summer solstice and entry into my home zodiac of Cancer. Perhaps it’s simply the beginning of the next cycle in the eternal dance of expansion and contraction.

It doesn’t really matter.

What does matter is that I’m being guided to move on and let go of this idea that my Reiki classes will simply be paused until I’m allowed to welcome people into my office once again. I have a yearning to share these teachings with people, and clearly this is a time when healing and personal empowerment are needed. Also I’ve become quite comfortable with the online format and have received tremendous value from online courses and connections.

All this to say that I’m delighted to announce an online Reiki 1 training in July. We will meet on 5 consecutive Wednesdays from 6-8pm EDT. We will cover all the traditional material of what Reiki is, where it comes from, and how to use it in myriad ways. Everyone will receive an individual attunement, just as you would at an in-person class (the long-distance symbol makes this possible!), as well as digital handouts and a certificate in the mail. We’ll have to improvise the practice portion and I’ll likely be demonstrating on a pillow; otherwise we’ll do everything else the same.

Except you can join from the comfort and safety of your home. In your pajamas, if you like!

Reiki 1 will meet July 1, 8, 15, 22, & 29 on Zoom. Given the unlikely, but nevertheless possible event of power and wifi outages for me on any of those dates, we’ll add a “makeup” Wednesday on at the end. The fee is $225 and I’m offering an early bird discount of $25 through June 20.

As we won’t be limited by the size of my small office space, I’m also inviting anyone who has taken a Reiki 1 or 2 class with me before to join us without any charge. You can refresh you knowledge, rekindle your enthusiasm and enjoy the company of other Reiki peeps.

Contact me if you’d like to apply and we’ll see if we’re a good match for one another. I’m very much looking forward to this new beginning and am eager to share this spectacular system with others.
