Reiki Level 1 Training

March 6, 2014 By Kat

Do you have a keen interest in learning how to heal yourself or those around you? If the answer is YES I’m right here to assist you in taking the first steps to learn how.

Who am I?
For those of you who are new here my name is Kathryn (aka Kat) I am a Reiki Master & intuitive energy healer.

What does that mean?
As a Reiki Master I have dedicated my life to a path of well being & spiritual development. Working from a place of love by connecting & living my life lead by my Souls guidance.

Using my intuition or ‘inner knowing’ I connect with the invisible energy of the universe & spirit guides to assist people to heal. The guidance I receive comes through in different forms, either through clairaudience, clairvoyance or clairsentience.

This journey has seen me follow my passion for teaching to a spiritual level through yoga & Reiki. As a Reiki Master I am able to pass the gift of Reiki onto others through the sacred ceremony known as the Reiki attunement. I can teach you how to safely connect & use the Reiki energy to heal yourself & others.

What is Reiki healing?
Reiki translates in Japanese as “universal life force energy.” Reiki guides the healing energy through the placement of hands either directly onto the body or held above. Reiki can assist the release of energetic blockages; break down habitual patterns & balances the Chakras. This holistic modality supports the bodies’ natural ability to heal. In order to move on & grow we must heal what we have held onto in the past. Reiki is a gentle, safe & non-intrusive method to assist this process.

The Reiki Level 1 workshop involves:

Learning the Reiki hand placements on & around the client’s body.
You receive the Level I attunements.
Become aware of your own intuition & inner voice.
You will learn how energy affects the physical, mental, emotional & spiritual bodies.
Reiki Level I can be used on family, animals, plants & for self-healing.

Reiki Level 1 is a full weekend workshop consisting of fourteen hours in total split over two consecutive days. Learning Reiki is a rewarding & self-nurturing process. You will open the connection to your Soul as well as the universal energy.

There are many Reiki courses out there how is yours different?
It is recommended that you receive your Reiki attunement from a qualified Reiki Level III Master – this is me. I am passionate & dedicated to my life purpose of serving the greater good of humanity.

Being a Master is more than a title I live my life every day to that of mastery. I receive Reiki & other healing regularly, I meditate daily, exercise & keep my physical body healthy through good plant based nutrition. I work with my spiritual mentors every month. I take part in self-development programs to constantly keep growing & moving myself forward. What I learn I pass on to others. Through teaching I am always learning.

My courses are detailed & structured based on the way I learned Reiki from my Master mentor. I tailor the course to each individual depending on their levels of consciousness. The energy of the day will lead us where we need to go. I share my own experience & challenges of my personal healing journey with you.

Courses are kept small with a maximum four students so everybody gets one on one attention whilst still benefiting from a group experience. Hosting the course at my private residence in a rural location offers added healing benefits as well as a more relaxed atmosphere.

How do I know if I’m ready to learn Reiki?
If this post has sparked an interest & you feel an urge to learn more then you are ready. Self-doubt can kick in for sure; use this as the positive resistance that you are moving forward in the right direction. Everybody has the ability to learn to heal; just some are called to it more strongly.

I recommend that you have received a Reiki session prior to taking the course. That way you can ‘feel’ how Reiki works & understand what is involved during a session. It would be hard to learn something that you have never experienced yourself.

If you have any further questions please contact me using the form below or via email.

I’m ready! What is the next step?
The next Reiki Level 1 workshop is on Saturday 22^nd & Sunday 23^rd March 2014. It will be hosted at a private residence in Perth’s northern suburbs, address given on booking confirmation. Please see the flyer below for more details. A $50 deposit is required to hold your spot & full payment due by Friday 14^th March.

To book your place on this exciting workshop please contact me for a registration form using the form below or via email. Only TWO places are left for the March workshop so be quick!

I look forward to connecting with you & passing on this truly wonderful gift.

Love Kathryn xx

Chakra Workshop Success!

February 25, 2014 By Kat

This year had been incredible already. I feel I have achieved so much in such a short time & it’s only the end of February. One of my biggest achievements so far has been taking the leap of faith & hosting my first workshop.

Workshops are something I love to attend myself. A whole day or weekend to submerge myself in a subject I’m interested in. Learning new things & meeting like minded people. That is the reason I decided I’d like to run my own. When you’re super passionate about something it’s natural you wish to share it with others.

Of course there was resistance, fear & self-doubt that got in the way for a while. ‘What subject should I present? Will people sign up? Am I qualified? It might die on it’s ass?’ The usual! Once I got out of my own way, found my subject matter & committed to a date everything fell into place.

On February 16th & 23rd I hosted a two-day workshop as an Introduction into the Chakras. Chakras are super interesting & are the main basis for my Reiki energy healing work as well as in yoga. Putting together a workshop on this subject came really naturally. To the point I felt I had too much information to share in the time I had.

Splitting the workshop into two days was something I was advised by my mentor. There is only so much information you can take in at one time. Especially when working with a highly energetic subject I know from my experience you can tire quite easily. It seemed logical to split the days into the lower & upper Chakra’s. Having a week in between sessions allowed the students to absorb & reflect on what they had learned. Then return a week later with much to share. Two days worked really well as everyone had different reactions & trying to squish all seven Chakras into one day would have been too much.

I’d put many hours work into planning the workshop. Designing my own workbooks pulled from everything I know. Writing my notes & gathering my tools together crystals, Chakra silks, alchemical oils & books. I didn’t want the workshop to be just me talking. It was more about feeling & self-healing. I wished to share the techniques I use for recognising & clearing blocked energy. Being a yoga teacher of course I brought in asanas specific to each Chakra too. The preparation took a long time but it was so worth it. When I run it again, all I need to do is hit ‘print’ & I’m ready to go.

My decision to host the workshop at home was a highlight hit with the attendees. We were blessed with two sunny, warm days that did get quite wild & windy at certain points! Being outside in nature surrounded by trees & wide-open space was very healing for everyone. The vibe was very much relaxed, content & happy. Stepping away from city suburban life to be in the country for a few hours can work wonders on the Soul.

The morning of the second day I was drawn to pull three Angel Therapy Cards (as posted on FB yesterday) to ask for any guidance I needed for the day. Three very strong cards presented.

1. You are a powerful Lightworker
2. Goddess
3. Power Animal

All three resonated greatly & left a smile on my face. Confirmation everything was working out just as it should be.

The ladies that attended were brilliant. Huge gratitude & thanks to them for being a part of my first presenting gig. Everyone was so open & shared their experiences freely. It didn’t feel like work for me, everything flowed & felt really natural. Masses of healing occurred on all levels. Rounding off both days with guided meditation & a sound healing was perfect.

Each attendee received a surprise gift bag with a collection of goodies. A Chakra coloured glass tea light holder with a hand poured Frankincense & Myrrh soy candle, a rose quartz crystal, incense sticks, self-love cards from Scared Self Alchemical oils & a selection of information from beautiful holistic services I personally use & support.

Overall the workshop as a whole was very well received. All my self-doubt was very unnecessary but part of the process. Looking back now I should have been doing this sooner! (easy to say that now)

Here’s some feedback from the workshop:

“Day 1 with the vivacious Kathryn… opening up, connecting, peeling back layers and healing with the magical winds stirring our souls… beautiful day.”

“A beautiful day xxx Time to care for my “self” & allow the healing to continue…….gorgeous.”

“Two Sundays in a row for GREAT Chakra Workshop… It is amazing to deepen the knowledge of Mind Body Spirit connection… it was also awesome to learn how our chakras can open with YOGA postures…. Bikram yoga postures for most of the chakras. Thanks to Kat, Seren Holistic Lifestyles.”

Time to start planning the next event.

Crystal Infused Water

January 30, 2014 By Kat

Crystals can be used in many ways to receive their healing benefits. The most common way most people use crystals for healing is by placing them on the body or by holding them. Another way is to make crystal infused water.

Water, just like air is essential for our survival. On average it is recommended to drink at least two litres of fresh, purified water a day to carry the life force charge around our bodies for optimum health. If we are drinking so much water why not spruce it up with some crystal power.

I’ve mentioned many times before in my writing that crystals carry a high vibration directly from the earth. I believe that by ingesting water that is infused with crystal energy can be beneficial as well. Some healers make crystal elixirs that are mixed with an alcohol base as a preservative. I have since learned a more simple technique to infuse your every day drinking water with crystal magic.

It is important to read up on different crystal properties before you make infused water. Some crystals can be toxic if used in this way. A safe recommendation is to start with a clear quartz infusion. Clear quartz is known as a master healing crystal that is very good at balancing the body & the immune system. Clear quartz has the ability to attune itself to the users specific needs. It works through all the four bodies cleansing & clearing any dense energy.

To infuse water with crystal energy is very simple. First you need to cleanse your crystal. I start by washing it in cold salt water, and then place it out for the three days over Full Moon. On the last day I leave it out to charge up with the suns energy for at least twelve hours. If it’s not Full Moon time, just charge in the sun. Then place your crystal in your water jug over night & it’s ready to go. Here’s mine inside my Britta.

You may find the taste of your water is slightly different. More sweet. I find I’m drawn to drink a lot more water if it’s crystal infused. Can’t get enough of it! Use your intuition as to when your crystal needs a recharge. If the taste changes or you just feel it’s time then follow the above process again. I find it’s usually around Full Moon again which is a perfect time each month to recharge you water crystals.

Enjoy! Love K xx

Receiving External Guidance

January 23, 2014 By Kat

New Year, new start is always a popular theme for January. For me I’ve been setting intentions for what I’d like to achieve this year. Of course I am (as we all are) at the mercy of the Universe so you never quite know how the result of your manifesting will present. However the ball needs to be set rolling.

At the start of the year I had so many ideas flying around as to where I wish to take my business this year I came to the point I called out for some extra help. I needed to get out of my own way in order to clearly hear what I was being guided to do next from within myself. It sometimes takes the guidance of another to gently bring you back to the present moment. This is just what I needed.

Through a number of synchronicities the external guidance I was requiring presented. If a pattern suddenly starts to develop around a subject I start to pay attention.

The synchronicities that day lead me to have an Intuitive Guidance & Distance Energy Reading session from Michelle of Sacred Self. I use Sacred Self Alchemical oils in my healing sessions & for my own personal self-cleansing routine. They are truly divine. At a time when I felt I needed someone on the outside to look in & assist me gain some clarity this was my opportunity. It felt so natural & a healing session with Michelle was just what I needed.

It didn’t disappoint. My personally made mandala is stunning. (There are examples on Michelle’s site & FB) It’s full of crystals, oils, cards & mantras. I’ve printed it out & have it right in front of me now. The written report that accompanied it was so accurate & spot on. Every single thing mentioned was confirmation for me to jump & take action. There were ideas I’d thought of months ago but tucked away as insignificant or I let fear or other people’s views stop me following through.

As I was reading I kept saying ‘wow’ Michelle’s good. It might seem strange to hear this but all the information I received wasn’t new or a surprise. “What’s the point then if you were told what you already knew?” I hear you shout. As I said above I was in my own way, too wrapped up to take a step back & listen to the voice within me. That’s when we turn to others for guidance. It sometimes takes an outsider to clearly spell things out to you. Even the most conscious & intuitive beings are always learning.

My intention with the session was to find out the exact area in my life I need to be focusing on this year. I found out just that, not by it being told to me directly “you must do this” but with the ‘clues’ Michelle provided for me to figure it out for myself. It was up to me to then take what was in front of me & apply to my life. be responsible. The greatest gift anyone can receive.

The best part was Michelle provided practical tools to work with for the next few months. Questions to ask myself, meditations to listen too & of course which Alchemical oils would best serve me to move forward.

Grace was perfect for me as the words on the bottle are ‘get out of your own way.’ A really relaxing blend of geranium, sweet orange & lime.

Surrender was my second oil with the strong message to allow myself to feel all feelings. This is a common theme for me right now too to really ‘feel’ what is going on. This is a blend of my two favourite scents Frankincense & Myrrh as well as the very clearing eucalyptus.

I also chose too more oils for myself Clarity & Abundance. Staying clear & open to receive is something I am working on also.

I meditated as suggested with my mandala for an hour each day for three days. It was a very powerful & opening experience. It was just what I needed to assist me onto the next level of progression.

If you’re looking for some clarity or extra guidance I highly recommend Michelle’s sessions. Even if you’re not sure what you are looking for I’m sure some very good answers will present.

Thanks to Amy at True Shining Self for putting the final piece to my jigsaw together that day. Here’s Amy’s experience of her session with Michelle.
