Reiki with Mamta Blog

Most of us learn Reiki to improve our own wellbeing. The best way to achieve this is through giving ourselves a Reiki healing treatment everyday.

I would like to invite you to a session focussed on Reiki Self Healing where I will be showing the hand positions for Reiki self treatment that I have been doing since I learnt Reiki in 2001. I will be sharing what I have learnt about Reiki self healing over the years, what I have found helpful to keep the discipline of using my Reiki practice everyday and what I have struggled with.

Date: Saturday, June 8th 2013
Time: 2 pm – 5 pm
Venue: North London Buddhist Centre, 72, Holloway Road, London N7 8JG
Cost: £25

This event is for you if you may need some help to be able to self treat regularly, or if you may have some questions about Reiki self treatment.

We will be giving ourselves a Reiki treatment. I feel that it is very beneficial to do Reiki self healing in a group as it enables us to benefit from the group energy. So even if you are very good with your daily self treatment but may be struggling with the challenges that you are facing in life, being in the group energy may help shift what is coming up in your life.

If you do not attend Reiki shares because you may not feel comfortable giving and receiving Reiki treatments in a group setting, this is your chance to benefit from the group energy. I feel that when we sit together in a group and self treat, we are able to work through so much more as we benefit from what each of us in the group, has been able to process and shift. So please do come along, so that we can all move forward.

We are all Reiki students and we learn from each other all the time. So I am looking forward to what this session will help me learn.

I do hope that you will be able to attend, especially if I have not seen you for a while. I hope that offering this event on a Saturday will allow you to attend especially if you are busy on weekday evenings when I offer the Reiki Shares.

Here is some feedback from a Reiki student who attended the last session in April: “I feel so much better after the group session on self treatment and got some good tips. I’m still managing to treat myself daily which is great and I’m definitely feeling so much better for it.”

Please do let me know if you will be able to attend. Booking is essential.

I look forward to hearing from you.

PS:

1. Please note that this event is for people who have already received Reiki training from a Reiki Master.
2. CPD certificate available on request. Please let me know in advance if you would like one.

I like what I have learnt from Alissa Vitti about looking after my hormonal health through natural means – especially through ‘food’. Some of you who know me may be aware that I am passionate about healthy eating. So I really enjoyed watching her on Dr Oz show talking about this topic. I am looking forward to trying the 4 week food plan she is suggesting in the show.

I am also looking forward to reading her book Woman Code. In this book she talks about how to heal the root causes of our symptoms, feel good all month long, protect our fertility, and feel sexy when we want. We learn Alisa’s food sequencing technique to bring our entire hormonal system back into peak performance, and about her unique cyclical food and lifestyle plan to keep hormonal health for life.

I feel very grateful for the NHS in the UK. However I feel sad to see the NHS staff suffer from so much stress and illness. I feel that they would be able to serve their patients so much better if they were able to look after themselves better. Having experienced the benefits of Reiki myself, over the last eleven years since I learnt Reiki in 2001, I have felt that the NHS staff, indeed all carers, would be able to serve better if they had a practice like Reiki in their lives. So I was really happy to receive this feedback from a student who works as a nurse:

“Since the Reiki course I have felt very grounded, peaceful and much more content. I have also felt more energised and physically well. As a nurse I have also felt I am better able to look after others as I feel stronger and perhaps more intuitive.”

Thank you Anna for sharing the benefits you have experienced since learning Reiki.

Receiving this testimonial from one of my students inspired me to share it with you. Hearing feedback like this is so satisfying. I feel so grateful for my Reiki practice that can help women feel less anxious during pregnancy when faced with some complication, help new mothers cope better with the demands of a new baby…

“When I was six  months pregnant, I got an overwhelming urge to have a reiki treatment having favoured massage or reflexology treatments in the past.  My internet search led me to Mamta and I found the treament so soothing and relaxing and practically fell into deep sleep.  Afterwards on chatting to Mamta I was excited to find out I could also learn to self treat and enjoy more of this peace and relaxation.  Learning Reiki with Mamta proved a Godsend when a few weeks later I developed complications in my pregnancy and I had to go into hospital.  I remember sitting in ante-natal department for hours waiting for tests, results, doctors etc and self treating to keep myself calm and sending Reiki healing to my baby. She was delivered early and everything went well.  A newborn baby comes with hectic demands and there is definitely a marked difference on days that I self treat because I feel calm and things seem ‘to fall into place’ then the days that I don’t it can be quite chaotic.  Am so.. glad to have Reiki in my life because no matter where I am, I can experience peace and relaxation no matter what else is going on around me.  Life will always have ups and downs and I recommend learning Reiki with Mamta or at least booking a Reiki treatment to experience it for yourself.”

Of all the different theories going round about December 2012, the one that resonates with me most is that this is a time of personal transformation. Apparently the period between December 12^th and December 21^st is quite significant in this process. To be able to integrate the energy of this special time, I feel that it would be beneficial to keep our energy vibrating at high levels through a daily spiritual practice. As Reiki students, it would be especially beneficial to ensure that we self treat every day during this period. If we can combine the daily self treatment with Reiki meditation, it would be even better. Whatever meditation/spiritual practice we have would serve us really well at this time.

After Reiki, I am most passionate about my Metamorphic Technique practice.

I had been feeling stuck with my own personal healing process over the last few days. I received a Metamorphic Technique session from my husband yesterday (I know I am very lucky as he does let me coax him to give me a session from time to time ) and had an amazing insight soon after. This helped me feel more at ease within my body.

Thinking of all the talk of the energy of December 2012 being about transformation, I feel Metamorphic Technique can really help those of us who may be feeling stuck at this time.

I gave a Metamorphic Technique(MT) session to a client today and felt wonderful myself – and she did as well. She had a baby 6 months ago and after the session she felt so relaxed and so much better that she wished all new mothers should be prescribed a MT session after giving birth.

I learnt Metamorphic Technique in 2006. I feel really grateful to my teacher Tripuri Dunne for introducing me to this technique.

If you would like to have a Metamorphic Technique session in London, you can contact me. If you would like to find a Metamorphic Technique practitioner elsewhere, you can visit the Metamorphic Association website for a list of practitioners.

If you are interested in learning Metamorphic Technique, I can recommend my teacher Tripuri Dunne. She is teaching Metamorphic Technique course in London in January 2013.

Looking for tips on how to set up a public Reiki practice, how to be a good Reiki practitioner? Do read this article about my public Reiki practice. It was published in the Spring 2012 issue of Reiki Association Magazine, TOUCH.

I went to a talk on True Peace and Happiness in the Here and Now by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (he is also called Thay) in London on 29th March. At the end of the talk, one of the questions Thay was asked was about forgiveness. The questioner said that her brother had been murdered 18 years ago, that she and her family are trying to forgive but really struggling. She asked if Thay had any helpful suggestions. Thay said that the answer is Sangha. He recommended belonging to a community that can help with the practice of healing and nourishment. He said that this can help protect us and make us stronger. He said that sometimes suffering can be too much to handle. He said that Sangha gives us a community, the support of fellow practitioners, who may have been practising for longer, the benefit of collective energy that we can go to in times of need. He said that we should go like a river not as a drop of water, and this would help us to be stronger and safer. He suggested setting up a community so that we can benefit from the collective energy of the group and others can come and benefit from the same. He said that this is a noble thing to do.

I was thinking of this the next morning and felt that a lot of us are being challenged in our life these days. And sometimes these challenges can be really difficult to face on one’s own. Some of us seek spiritual help when faced with challenges. There are several spiritual practices, and people are drawn to different ones. Some of us are drawn to Buddhism for example and some of us are drawn to Reiki.

If you are drawn to Reiki as your daily spiritual practice and would like to learn Reiki, I offer Reiki classes in London.

If you have already learnt Reiki and are looking for a Reiki community or continued support with your Reiki practice you are welcome to attend my monthly Reiki Shares in London. Sometimes I organise events with experienced Reiki Masters for my Reiki community. I also nurture my community by keeping them informed of other events, eg Reiki Association’s Birthday gathering with special guest Phyllis Lei Furumoto, lineage bearer for Usui Shiki Ryoho in High Wycombe, UK.

I also believe that we can achieve much more when we combine our strengths and efforts on a national and sometimes on a global scale. This thought motivates me and inspires me to serve on the Reiki Home project.

When we are in pain especially physical pain, most of us wish it away, we try all sorts of things to make it go away. I have increasingly been feeling that pain is a message from the universe for us to learn something, to enable us to change something in our being so that we can grow, we can heal something within our being in order to move forward in life.

When I listened to Robert Ohotto’s radio show ‘Making Pain Sacred’ it really resonated with me and I felt that he has expressed this thought so beautifully that I would like to share it with you and I hope that it resonates with you too and enables you to accept the gift that pain can bring us.

Some of you may be aware that I am supporting the Reiki Home project as a member of the Board of Reiki Foundation International (RFI).

I wrote an article on Reiki Home for the Jan/Feb 2012 edition of TOUCH, a quarterly publication from the Reiki Association containing a wealth of Reiki stories and news of events from the UK and across the world.

There is extensive information about the project on the Reiki Home website. I would encourage you to visit the website and discover the dream, the vision. I would love to hear from you if the vision of Reiki Home touches you, or if you may have any questions. We need the help from every Reiki student to be able to manifest a Home for Reiki, a place where all Reiki students can gather, and experience and benefit from the energy that would build up there.

Please do get in touch. I would love to hear from you.

I am grateful to the TOUCH team for allowing me to use the pdf version of the article on my website. To find out more about TOUCH, please visit the Reiki Association website.
