R EIKI H EALING A TTUNEMENT D ECEMBER 21 ST We sponsor a quarterly Reiki event called our Reiki Healing Attunement . This winter it will be December 21st from 10:30 Am to 4:00 PM .It has been purposely lined up with the major seasonal shifts of our planet, the Spring and Autumn equinoxes and Winter and Summer Solstices. Each seasonal shift represents a change in energies and has traditional associations with it, including an Angelic overseer of that season. We can make our intentions more powerful and far reaching by “piggybacking” on to the

boost of energy that occurs at the traditional seasonal shifts. Ancient cultures knew this and respected and revered these special times of the year. The Reiki Healing Attunement is an energetic treatment, or vibrational therapy in the Tibetan Reiki tradition. It is a very focused Reiki treatment that provides an extra boost to any healing intent for yourself or another, or for empowering your goals and projects for the next season. Your Reiki Masters will be Helen and Melissa, both Reiki Master Teachers in the Usui Tibetan tradition. Each Session is approx. 15 to 20 minutes,

10:30 A M TO 4:00 PM

and is $25.00. This event is by appointment only. The cyclical arrangement of the equinox and solstice timing are part of yet a larger cycle also known as the Year of the Soul. The year of the Soul begins in Autumn with the conception of your intent or goal. The Winter allows the energy to gestate and take form. The Spring is the birth or emergence , and the Summer is the full expression, or harvest. We will take a more in depth look at each season and its energies and traditional associations in the next few upcoming newsletters. Happy Holidays to all of our clients!

Quote from “Heart of a Buddha” All that we are is the result of what we have thought; It is founded on our thoughts.

If a man (or woman) speaks or acts with pure thought, Joy will follow him, Like a shadow that never leaves him.
