This beautiful Conference Center is next to the Body Mind Spirit Expo site. We invite you to join us there, the Saturday following the Expo, to learn the effectiveness and simplicity of first-level Reiki (Shoden).
In this class we will explore:
— What is Reiki?
— How does it work?
— What Mikao Usui taught.
— The Reiki Principles and their importance.
We will also practice an energy-cleansing procedure and a self-empowerment procedure. Four energetic initiations will be given, and we will practice giving and receiving hands-on Reiki. At the end of the day, you will be a certified Reiki practitioner.

We invite you to join us, the Sunday following the Expo, to learn a method of directly accessing an energy of higher vibration and greater subtlety than even Reiki. This energy is called Shinki — the ultimate Source-energy.
In this class we will explore:
— What is Shinki?
— How does it work?
— How the Shinki method came into being.
Like Mikao Usui's Reiki method, our Shinki method combines a meditative state with a tangible, definable, energy vibration. And the Shinki method is even more a method of not-doing than is the case with Reiki. In Shinki, no hand positions are taught, no directing of the energy. The only technique is being in a state of Shinki. In the class, we will practice that together, as a group, several times . . . and, by the end of the day, you will be able to access Shinki yourself and to share it with others.

Don Beckett is internationally respected as a teacher of Reiki and Jourei — two subtle energies (and methods of using them) that bring about healing (physical, emotional, mental) and spiritual awakening. His book Reiki, The True Story is a much-needed look at the history and practice of Reiki as revealed by students of Mikao Usui (the founder) himself — plus Don's insights after 17 years in Reiki. Comprehensive and thoroughly documented, Reiki, The True Story is used by many as a Reiki teaching manual.
