Reiki II

This past Saturday, I had the amazing opportunity to receive Reiki Level II Attunements that were taught and given by Shanti Johnson of the Brevard County Buddhist Fellowship. The class was held at Unity of Melbourne in an intimate room used for manifestation prayer work at the back of the building. There were about 11 people in the class from various walks of life. We had counselors, teachers, artists, caregivers, a retired gentleman, and others. Shanti's teaching style was very easy to follow and helped create a warm and comfortable atmosphere for this exciting process. She provided detailed information from her own experience as a Reiki practitioner and licensed esthetician in the state of Florida and completely covered all the legal ramifications of practicing Reiki in this state. In many ways, her class went above and beyond what one would typically encounter in a Reiki II class. She role played a client visit with a Reiki practitioner for the students to see how an actual Reiki session may be run. Everyone appreciated the time and effort she put into the class and the sense of camaraderie she helped engender amongst all who were present. Just prior to the attunement process, Shanti's friend and Reiki Master, Tom prepared the way with a guided meditation that took us to a very deep meditational level and opened a channel for the attunements. Many participants stated they had profound experiences both during and after receiving the attunements. Some carried a deep level of relaxation for the remainder of the day while I became charged up and needed to expend excess energy. One participant went through a physical detoxification.

For anyone who may be interested in learning or receiving Reiki for themselves, family, friends, or others, I highly recommend Shanti Johnson. You can contact Shanti through the Brevard County Buddhist Fellowship website. Of course, I'm also available and would enjoy sharing Reiki with you too. I can be reached via email at michael.staples@yahoo.com or at The Herb Corner and Learning Center. I'm also a certified herbal practitioner and can work with you to create an herbal protocol to support complete wellness without pharmaceuticals.
