The first workshop below is open to everyone, health care professionals, and the public, whether or not you practice Reiki, because negative transference can happen to anyone at any time–

6 STEPS TO SPIRITUAL SELF-PROTECTION:
How You Can Maintain Healthy, Compassionate Boundaries

If you have ever walked away from a client, friend, or family member suspecting you “picked up” something you’d rather not have, it’s important to know that you aren’t helpless.

Let’s take a grounded, no-nonsense, empowering look at:

• Why and how negative transference happens,
• Where your particular vulnerabilities are,
• What you can do to prevent negative transference, and
• How to rebalance yourself once it’s happened (because it happens to all of us from time to time).

I encourage you also to stop by my blog, Reiki Central. The conversation is generally relevant for all Reiki practitioners, but if you are developing as a Reiki professional, pay special attention to the posts in the Clinical Practice, Communicating Reiki, Daily Practice, and Reiki Media categories.

JCC REIKI CLINIC

The JCC Reiki Clinic takes place on the first Thursday of each month (excluding holidays). Here you will be part of a diverse group of Reiki practitioners offering table treatments in a supervised public setting. This is an opportunity for you to increase your treatment experience and to make Reiki buddies. Every practitioner also receives a treatment, and the clinic ends with sharing and discussion.

The public is invited to receive half-hour Reiki treatments, usually from two practitioners, depending on attendance.

The following class will deepen your Reiki practice and bring greater nuance to your understanding. It is appropriate for practitioners and students at all levels and from all practice lineages—

INVITING HAPPINESS: Exploring the Reiki Precepts

Today only
Do not anger
Do not worry
With thankfulness
Work diligently
Be kind to others
– as translated by Hyakuten Inamoto

Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki lineage, referred to the Precepts as “the secret of inviting happiness through many blessings, the spiritual medicine for all illness.” included them in daily practice. Too often overlooked today, the Precepts help you create a bridge between how you actually experience life to how you want to experience it.

In this class, you will feel the support of the Reiki Precepts and learn how to access them in daily life. Here’s what the participants said about their experience when Susan Mitchell and I led a one-day retreat on this material:

“You created a safe, nurturing environment for exploration.”

“Just amazingly wonderful and inspiring.”

“Peaceful, nourishing, and stimulating, the kind of Reiki community I long for.”

“The retreat deepened my understanding of the precepts; I had just been touching the surface.”

“I feel empowered to continue contemplating the precepts in daily life.”

“This exploration created a significant deepening in my practice, so much so that friends noticed a difference when we shared treatment.”

I offer the following REIKI CONTINUING EDUCATION CLASSES for Reiki students at any level or lineage to prepare for professional practice and Reiki professionals to enhance their skills. Classes are offered in person in New York City and other locations, and by teleclass/webinar. You can click here to register for any class.

Have you ever felt frustrated trying to explain Reiki? Are you enthusiastic about your practice but often see people’s eyes glaze over when you try to share it? Could you use some tips how to communicate more effectively and feel more professional?

Reiki is easy to practice and easy to appreciate, but not so easy to talk about. Being able to speak clearly about Reiki and how it benefits you will deepen your engagement with your practice and help others recognize how Reiki might help them. In this class, you will increase your clarity about what is Reiki happening when you practice Reiki, and develop your ability to communicate Reiki to a mainstream audience and to health care professionals.

Even seasoned Reiki practitioners face major challenges integrating Reiki into conventional healthcare settings. Successful collaboration requires skillful communication, an understanding of medical culture, knowledge of Reiki research, and impeccable professionalism.

Whether you want to offer Reiki in a hospital or to receive referrals from physicians and other health care professionals, this class will empower you collaborate successfully in health care, including:

• What you need to know about medical and health-care culture
• What Reiki treatment offers patients and health care staff
• What Reiki research has shown
• How to highlight the benefits of Reiki treatment and avoid making claims
• Differences between medical Reiki collaboration and solo Reiki practice.

During this class, you will be coached in writing your introductory Reiki statement. You will leave the weekend able to self-evaluate your skills and experience, and with suggestions how to continue honing your ability to work effectively in all settings, including conventional health care.

Lay practitioners, students, doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals on both coasts have found these classes made an immediate difference in their work with Reiki. Read this article to understand what you can learn through this course.

In this class, I offer you what I’ve learned over 20 years of organizing events. Public Reiki events are a service to the public and to the Reiki community. When you organize events, you introduce Reiki to new audiences, create Reiki community, and give Reiki students and practitioners an opportunity to develop their clinical skills. This class gives you what you need to create a successful public Reiki event in which everyone feels supported—staff, clients and YOU.

Pamela Miles organizes 50 Reiki practitioners for our yearly Spa Day for Women with Cancer. The Reiki room is always the hands-down favorite for our Spa Day participants. Many of the women have never heard of Reiki and are surprised at how wonderful they feel receiving Reiki treatment. The person responsible for creating this magic is Pamela Miles. She selects, trains and is present at the Spa Day to supervise the Reiki room. As a result, no matter which practitioners  participants go to, they receive the same beautifully sequenced session.
