Reiki with Mamta Blog

I am delighted to announce a new Reiki share that I am now offering to complement the one that I have been offering to my students for the last 5 years or so. This Reiki share is open to all.

The reason for this is that the shares for my students are getting really busy, as a result I have not been able to satisfy the requests I have been receiving through my website from people who would like to attend my Reiki shares. So I have finally decided to hold a Reiki share once every month that is open to all – people who have learnt Reiki from any Reiki Master, not just from me and also those who have not learnt Reiki but are interested in finding out more about it.

Date: Wednesday May 4th, 2011
Time: 7 pm – 9 pm
Venue: North London Buddhist Centre, 72, Holloway Road, London N7 8JG.
Cost: £10

(for future dates, please check website http://www.reikiwithmamta.com/Shares.htm)

I am offering this Reiki share because I feel very strongly that having continued support after the Reiki class is very important. I found the Reiki shares that my master offered invaluable on my Reiki journey and so I would like to offer this support to all Reiki students. Some of you may not be in touch with your own Reiki Master any more, or you may have moved away from the place where you learnt Reiki, or you may be looking to practise Reiki with other like minded people in a supportive environment. I would like to offer this and more through these Reiki shares.

My intent is to offer support for Reiki students to help deepen Reiki practice and enhance the benefits that Reiki can help us with. I would like to offer you the benefits of my experience of Reiki gained over the years. I learnt Reiki in 2001. I started with myself – I gave myself a Reiki treatment everyday, well nearly Gradually as I started to feel the benefits myself and for my family, I started offering Reiki treatments to others, especially to other mothers as I felt that I had benefitted hugely as a mother from having Reiki in my life. I started training as a Reiki Master with Tripuri Dunne in 2005. I completed my Mastery training with her in February 2008.

I have been working as a public Reiki practitioner since 2004, and as a Reiki Master since February 2008.  I have been representing the Reiki Association in the voluntary Reiki Regulation process since 2004. So I am also happy to support you if you are thinking of setting up public Reiki practice.

If you know others who may be interested in coming to my Reiki shares, please do forward this email to them and ask them to contact me.

If you would like to attend this event, please contact me soon as there are a limited number of places and I need to know how many people to expect. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Benefits of attending Reiki Shares

For those new to Reiki, attending the share can be a good way of getting an introduction to Reiki and the group support that you can benefit from.

For students of Reiki, the shares provide a wonderful opportunity to reconnect or to deepen our connection with Reiki. We exchange Reiki treatments which enables everyone to give and receive a Reiki treatment in a very supportive environment. There is also the opportunity to ask questions, share Reiki experiences with others and to meet other like minded people.

Here is what Rosana, one of my Reiki students, said after attending her first Reiki share. She seems to have captured the essence of attending Reiki shares very beautifully with her words:
“Thanks for the share on Friday, I really enjoyed it, I felt like something changed inside me. It made me more sure about wanting to do reiki everyday.”

Are you looking for help with eating more healthy foods, would you like to improve your health through your diet? Perhaps you are looking to increase your intake of plant based foods. Maybe you would like to eat more vegetarian/vegan food but need some help to be able to have a balanced diet….

I have been a vegetarian all my life. I grew up in India so my diet has ayurvedic influences. I have been living in the UK since 1992. During this time I have been learning about nutritional healing through increasing my intake of green vegetables, whole grains, incorporating more seasonal foods, raw foods, live foods, super foods, sourcing more locally and ethically produced food.

I offer healthy eating workshops to share my learning and experience of this balanced and integrated approach to eating and help people  improve their health through nutrition.

Please contact me if you are interested in attending my workshops. Please subscribe to my blog to receive free tips and recipes for healthy eating.

If I am willing to brave the slugs and snails in my garden, I might even try growing some vegetables this summer

Mercury Retrograde in Aries

As you can tell Astrology is a new interest I seem to have developed:) I am really enjoying working in harmony with what is happening in the universe with the planets using my Reiki practice.

I read about Mercury Retrograde in Aries last night before going to bed. This morning when I woke up, this is what I felt drawn to sending Reiki for, first thing – ‘being able to change within me what needs to change at this time of Mercury retrograde in Aries for me to be able to achieve my potential for the best possible outcome for me and all concerned’.

This helped start my day feeling really peaceful, positive and excited to share this with you.

I feel very grateful for having Reiki in my life as it helps support me in doing whatever I feel drawn to do.

Thank you Tanya for helping me see this positive aspect of Astrology and to discover Robert Ohotto’s newsletter. I have signed up for it.

New Moon is considered to be a good time to plant seeds for new beginnings, literally as well figuratively. The new moon is in Aries this month, on Sunday the 3rd April. Aries being the first sign in the Zodiac – it seems a doubly auspicious time to lay foundation for new beginnings.

This morning I sent Reiki to establish new energy patterns to help me achieve my potential for the best possible outcome for me and all concerned.

I used my level 2 Reiki practice for this. If you have only level 1 Reiki, you can ask Reiki for support with this intention while self treating. Or you could simply use it as a prayer or affirmation.

I feel very positive after having done this, I hope you find it helpful as well.

‘What is a good present to buy for your mum for Mother’s day?’

I would give my mother the gift of a Reiki treatment because this could turn out to be a gift for life, not just for the day. If she likes the Reiki treatment, I would give her the gift of learning Reiki next time ie book her a place on a Reiki class. Anyone who would like to can learn Reiki. No special ability or experience is required. Reiki is quick and easy to learn and to practise. We can use Reiki in our daily lives, for ourselves, for friends and family, children or animals and even plants.

I am a mother and find Reiki invaluable in my life.

I have also taught Reiki to my mother, and to my father, and they find it very beneficial.

If you would like to find out more about Reiki, learning Reiki, or me, you can visit my website on http://www.reikiwithmamta.com/ReikiClasses.htm

Mothers tend to put other family members first and themselves pretty far down their priority list. Having Reiki in her life could transform her life and give her a tool to enhance her own wellbeing. When we are feeling good, we are in a much better space to look after others in our life. Who knows, one day if you are suffering, your mother might be able to give you a Reiki treatment and help you to feel better…

Or maybe you are looking for a present for the mother of your children….

Please contact Mamta to purchase a gift voucher for a Reiki treatment or for a Reiki Course.

An article from my Reiki student, Sally Hunter about how Reiki self healing helped her with Post Natal Depression. This article was published in the Autumn 2010 issue of Reiki Association Magazine, TOUCH.

Thanks to TOUCH for the pdf version of the article.

“Reiki goes to where it is needed – we have all heard this. So why do we need to do a full body treatment?”

Deb Hoy, editor of TOUCH, The Reiki Association Magazine,  inspired me to write an article about this paradox for the winter edition of the magazine. The full article is  available in the press section on my website.

Thanks to TOUCH for the pdf version of the article and for the cover image.

We feel better when we feel loved. It is well accepted that to have more love in our life, we have to allow more love to flow through us. It is all very well to be aware of this but how do we do it. How can we replace negative emotions like anger, dislike, intolerance – emotions that we all experience from time to time despite our best intentions to be good, with love for ourselves and for other people in our life.

Love, love consciousness, filling our heart with love and gratitude – I have become more and more aware of these teachings recently. These messages have been appearing in my life from several different sources. I happened to read the following words from Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret, and they brought forth some thoughts:

“Think of love as water in a glass, and the glass as our being. When a glass has only a little water in it, it is empty. You can’t change the water level in the glass by waging war on the emptiness and trying to rip out the emptiness. The emptiness goes by filling the glass with more water. When you have bad feelings (like sadness or anger), you are empty of love, and so when you put love into yourself, the bad feelings are gone”.

These words reminded me that Reiki is also described as unconditional love. I feel that each Reiki treatment that we receive helps top up our love balance. For me being able to give myself a Reiki self healing treatment is a huge strength that my Reiki practice empowers me with. When we give ourselves a Reiki treatment everyday, we keep topping up our love balance regularly. Over time, with daily self treatments, the level of love in our being keeps getting higher. I feel that maybe this is another way that Reiki works. By helping more love to flow through us, the bad or the negative seems to lessen over time.

I learnt Reiki nearly 10 years ago. I have been giving myself a Reiki treatment everyday over the years. Well nearly, to be truthful. In the beginning I used to slip up occasionally, but once I started to feel the benefits I started to do it everyday. I do feel that over the years, the bad feelings have lessened. I continue to feel better about myself ie I feel more comfortable in my own skin. My relationships with others keep improving and my outlook on life continues to become more positive.

The nicest thing about this shift within me is that it has just happened over the years, gradually, naturally, without my having to do anything specific except for daily Reiki self healing treatments.

Diamonds are for ever, as the saying goes, but if you are looking for a present that lasts a lifetime without costing the earth, give your loved one the gift of Reiki.

Giving a gift voucher for a Reiki treatment could be the most considerate of gifts, offering the recipient the chance to relax, rejuvenate and rebalance themselves after the excesses and stresses of Christmas. Or, if you know they like Reiki, you could go one step further and give them the opportunity to learn Reiki for themselves so that they can treat themselves, and friends and family, every day, for the rest of their lives.

Sometimes people have been given a Reiki treatment as a present and they have enjoyed it so much that they have gone on to learn Reiki. Some people have received a Reiki class as a present. This is what one of my students has to say about receiving a Reiki class as a present:

“I think it’s the best present I have ever received, because it’s part of me, and it´ll be always there, making life nicer. To give Reiki as a present for somebody you love, it´s a great gesture, it’s to give the tools for happiness, for healing yourself and others.  After the first few days with Reiki practice, I felt lighter, I felt like there is a place where I can always go and feel safe. No one teaches us how to meditate when we are little, society is focused in making people productive, but they forget about wellbeing, this is why we need to find the ways for happiness, and to be able to stop our routines, and listen to our bodies. It´s difficult to explain, everybody should experience reiki. I´m really grateful to my boyfriend for his present – I pay him back with reiki sessions , and also to Mamta, for being so caring with strangers, transmit her peace, and give us the tools for finding the balance in life.”

Reiki can be learnt quickly and easily. A healing practice offered through light touch, Reiki enhances wellbeing by promoting balance within us at all levels – body, mind and spirirt.  A Reiki Level 1 class usually runs over 4 days and costs  £150 but the benefits are enormous and last a lifetime. I learnt Reiki in 2001 and have been giving myself a Reiki treatment every day since then. Over the years I have benefitted tremendously from having Reiki in my life. I feel that it is one of the best things I have ever learnt, and the best value for money. Words can seem inadequate to describe Reiki – the best way to understand it is to experience it for yourself.

Wonderful interview on Reiki Talk Show with my Reiki Master, Tripuri Dunne. Phyllis Lei Furumoto interviewed her yesterday, November 18th 2010, on http://www.reikitalkshow.com

Amazing stories told with beautiful simplicity.. and the love and warmth in Tripuri’s voice that comes across is truly inspiring….

I had heard some of these stories before from Tripuri but Phyllis has managed to draw them out really beautifully in the context of a discussion on healing and curing.

This interview was broadcast yesterday, 18^th November 2010 at 9 pm GMT. It is archived on the website, just like all the other interviews that Phyllis has been doing since July 2007. These interviews provide a great resource to deepen our Reiki practice through listening to wonderful Reiki stories from people all around the world.
