Free Webinar – Paul David Mitchell
Contributed by Pamela Miles
On January 30, I will interview Takata master Paul David Mitchell in a free webinar like the series we had last November. Paul has agreed to speak to me about his Reiki master (and my hero) Hawayo Takata.
Mrs. Takata brought Reiki to the US from Japan with her Reiki master Chujiro Hayashi in the late 1930s, and had the vision that Reiki practice become as common as aspirin (we’re working on it!).
I LOVE to hear about Mrs. Takata from her students, both about her presence and personality, and also about how she impacted their lives.
Paul is a practicing Catholic and will also share about his Reiki practice from that perspective. You may know that the American Catholic bishops made a statement against Reiki practice which led to it being stopped in Catholic hospitals.
And finally, Paul will share his vision of the future of Reiki practice.
I hope you will join us.

Everyone who registers will receive a link to the recording, whether or not you attend live. If you are live on computer, you will be able to type in questions. Once you connect through your computer, you can also switch to your phone if you prefer.
Please share this invitation widely. I know that many Reiki practitioners will feel deeply supported by Paul’s understanding and humility.
And if you are in New York City, Susan Mitchell (Paul’s wife) is visiting me in March and I am hosting her evening presentation “The Words of a Master: My Time with Hawayo Takata” on Wednesday, March 14. Click here for more information.

Resolve, Not Resolutions
by Pamela Miles (reprinted with permission)
We’ve hit that point in January by which people who weren’t going to keep their resolutions have already broken them.
RESOLVE, NOT RESOLUTIONS
Having never made a New Year’s resolution, I don’t know how it feels to break one, but I’m guessing it might downgrade one’s self-esteem a notch.
If that’s how you are feeling — now or ever — please stop and:
- apply your Reiki hand to your heart or solar plexus,
- remember the goal of your resolution (which was certainly not to lessen your self-esteem),
- reconnect with the spirit with which you made your resolution, and
- negotiate a new plan that enables you to move toward your goal with enthusiasm and resolve, one that you’ll more likely want to do rather than have to do.
Seriously, right now, place a Reiki hand.
If you can’t physically move your hand to your heart at this moment, imagine doing it.
And notice the difference. Simply typing “place a Reiki hand” slowed my breath.
Many Reiki blessings,
And so much gratitude,
Pamela

Invitation to the Annual General Meeting of the Barbados Reiki Association
I am pleased to invite you to attend the 10th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Barbados Reiki Association on Thursday,February 2nd, 2012 at 7:00 pm at The Main Guard (Clock Tower), The Garrison, St. Michael. Please find attached the Agenda for the AGM. All Reiki initiates are invited to the meeting. Please do come out so that you can find out what the Association is doing to promote Reiki in Barbados and offer any guidance you may care to. There is ample parking. Refreshments will be served.
The Association’s Board of Directors for the period February 2012 to January 2013 will be elected at the meeting. The seven posts to be filled are noted on the Agenda. Only members of the Association in good financial standing may vote. If you are trained and initiated in the Reiki method of healing, this would be a great opportunity for you to become a member of the Association. The Treasurer will be available before the start of the meeting to accept the annual membership fee of BDS$50.00.
If you have not been practising Reiki, you will find that our monthly meetings will offer you an excellent opportunity to reconnect to the method and be part of our Reiki family. We share group Reiki healing at each meeting. In fact, in 2011, we restructured our meetings to give this session more prominence, by starting with group healing and extending the length of the session. We also included “Reiki only” evenings, some of which were open to family and friends. We also offer Reiki education and host an Annual Retreat for Reiki initiates in October. We participate in health and wellness fairs throughout the year to spread knowledge and understanding of Reiki and host a Complementary Health Fair annually in June. We also produce a quarterly e-newsletter, Healing Hands.
We encourage you to come out to the AGM, join the Association and grow your understanding and practice of Reiki in 2011.
Kind regards
Sonia Johnson
Secretary
Barbados Reiki Association
