I have always been good at giving advice and I think that you will agree by the end of this blog that I need to start listening to myself and more importantly my gut instinct. She's very rarely wrong when it comes to matters of the mind body and spirit!
During my life I've had a tendency to implode during stressful times. Twice I have folded during education, the last being my musical degree although mitigating circumstances surrounding the type of degree I chose where stacked against me. (For those interested I breezed music college but chose to stay in the area to study a degree in Classical/Popular Music. Classical being my downfall!)
Once put under pressure I tend to hide, bury my head and only come up for air when its too late. It happened at the start of the year when I was trying to complete 2 courses at once. I should have noted the warning signs before Christmas, instead I chose to try and carry on.Well its not too late in this instance because the college have rolling exams and I intend to take them in the coming months once my course work and case studies are completed. My wife said that I had lost my buzz about Reiki, well its as far from the truth as you can put it. The fire is burning brightly its just the academic part of the studies that are turning my world upside down.
Like an alcoholic, I'm back on it with a vengeance, I have a handful of assignments and case studies to complete and then i'm ready for my exams. The most annoying thing is that I am already qualified as a Reiki Master and these exams are to get something a little more recognised within the industry on paper as well as the ITEC Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology which will lead me on to other energy studies in the future.
I need to break the cycle of trepidation and failure during my studies because I can't fail, its my destiny to serve and make people feel better about themselves.Sorry for not blogging but I've been stuck in a hole for while. I'm now out of it and raring to go so watch this space. I will be updating my blog on a more regular basis with different observations and stories and also links to my website and other intersting articles.
Oh and I will be completing my studies.... Out of darkness cometh light.
Love and light,
Reiki Chris

Reiki Level 3 Atunement
As I stated in my previous blog I had my Reiki Level 3 atunement in early December and feel obliged to give you an overview of the evening.
I always feel at peace at the college and I know my links will go far and beyond my Reiki journey into other exciting areas of spirituality.To begin the evening my partner in crime Mandave and I where guided through a meditation by Debra Goldston and it really put us in a space of love and calmness amidst all the doom and gloom that is radiated on TV and in the media. For me it takes me back to basics and refocuses my minds eye. I know I keep going on about 'me time' and its benefits and I can't stress how important it is. Digressing slightly, It amazed me when after a morning walk the BBC had looked in to meditation and compiled a before and after MRI scan of a lady who suffered with Lupus. the results and report are here. I do hope and pray that more studies are compiled and peoples eyes are open to alternative therapies and meditation.
All three Reiki atunements have been individual in their own right but in actual fact are very similar in timing and repetitiveness of the atunement. The energy when Debra placed her hands on my shoulders was incredibly strong and this coupled with my energy flow nearly took me off my chair. Bright golden light emitted through my closed eyelids which was glowing with love and tranquillity, this coupled with the feeling that the room was full of spirits and guides really took my breathe away. At one point I saw an Eagle and then in the next breathe what can only be described as a nibbled cream cracker. I do believe that the said cream cracker may have been an old stone tablet though. This did amuse my teacher Debra and friend Mandave because its not really something that is associated with Reiki but was never the less bloody hilarious!! Each atunement was life changing in that a little part of me was opened up spirituality and my thoughts have a clarity that is difficult to describe. If you can imagine drinking 5 cans of red bull on the bounce and the alertness that comes with it, then your close to how I feel for most of the day. This coupled with the daily boost of energy that self administered Reiki gives you indicates the kind levels I'm on about.
Reiki has changed my life and I know over the coming months its going to open up many opportunities for me. My outlook on life has always been that my cup is half full and now I can tell you its over flowing and I'm ready to share my new found optimism and energy with anyone that is willing to give me their time (and money of course because I am trying to run a business!!) As I have said all along I don't proclaim to cure the ill or diseased I am merely a transformer for energy and optimism from a higher source that I am willing to share with as many people as possible.
I know the cynic's out there will belittle what I have written and described but I bet they wouldn't be willing to have a reiki treatment and more than liekly wouldnt admit to any changes during or after their treatment. I've got to admit I can't wait for those challenges that will crop up during my Reiki journey.
My case studies have kindly allowed me to blog about our feelings and observations whilst keeing thier anominity and I'm extremly greatful for the oportunity to not only work with them but also write about them, which I will begin in my next blog..... Have a great week.

2012 - Back to basics and the bigger picture.
Firstly a belated happy new year to all that read this. I hope you had a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas and enjoyed seeing in 2012.
I don't know where to start this blog because I have so much to share with you. So here goes nothing and in no particular order I'll let you in to my head for a minute or two. It does digress away from Reiki but its all for the greater good.
Towards the end of last year I went on a days course at the college which introduced me to Alkaline Health and it interested me to the point of starting 2012 and alkalising. The science behind alkalising is simple. Cut out acidic food/drink as this is the basis of a lot illness. Our bodies are naturally slightly alkaline and the deluge of precooked/processed/convenience food and drink that we consume tilts the balance towards acidity and in the long run illness and fatigue. This is my 3rd week and I have to say this is the best I have felt for many years. I have cut out caffeine, alcohol, dairy, bread and meat and live off mother earth. (fruit and veg if your not sure!!) I am up at 6am doing my 30 minute walk (Remember I blogged about 'me time', well this is 'my time') It sets me up for the day. No hunger, cravings or headaches and above everything else I am full of energy and concentration. Coupled with the beautiful energy flow I receive from Reiki you could go as far as to say I am super charged at the moment!! To top this off I am losing weight which for those that know me has been a long battle to control and defeat.
Another major change I have made is I have changed the type of salt i consume/use in my diet. It has long been said that salt is bad for you, you must not consume salt etc etc well our bodies would not function without a certain amount of salt and due to the scare mongering of health professionals in some cases we are lacking. I do not go over my recommended daily dose but I have changed what type of salt I use. the majority of refined salts have received so much cleansing treatment that there are no vitamins or minerals left just pure salt, which coincidentally does nothing for you. I am now using Himalayan Rock Salt which is mined in the Himalayas and has over 70 trace elements of minerals that our body yearns for. I start the day with what is called Sole. I add a teaspoon of Himalayan rock salt solution to a pint of mineral/spring water in the morning. You will notice that this is a part of the Alkaline health plan and is recommended across other natural health websites.
Finally and by no means least I want to tell you about my personal harmoniser which a good friend at the college told me about. I purchased it from the centre for implosion research. In a nutshell it helps repel electromagnetic radiation and interference from electrical items such as computers, mobile phones and microwaves. It all sounds far fetched and I wouldn't blame you from laughing your heads off but it DOES work. I sit at my computer all day and inevitably got headaches at the end of the day. These have now gone and its safe to say that when I have forgotten to wear my necklace I do feel the difference.
So all in all quite a lot of change in the first couple of weeks and all the greater good . I feel bloody brilliant and long may it continue. My next blog will focus on my Reiki 3 attunement which was before Christmas and the experiences I have had with my case studies.
