Barbados Reiki Association

The Barbados Reiki Association is organising a Gathering for Caribbean Reiki practitioners. It will be held from 29 October to 01 November at Divi Southwinds. President Kathleen Hurley says: “We know there is a lot of Reiki going on in the region. We wanted to find a way to bring Caribbean Reiki people together to share their experiences of this wonderful healing practice.”

Programme highlights will include: group treatments, meditation sessions, a featured speaker and discussions on the theme of “Unity”. “We chose Unity as our theme because it reflects our aims for the Gathering and for the future,” comments Kathleen Hurley.

She adds: “We hope to make this a regular event, so we can bring the Caribbean together in yet another area.”

Contact details: Kathleen Hurley (428-4186/828-2779); Michael Rudder (425-2506/231-1627); Rosina Wiltshire (228-0933).

There’s an interesting post on Pamela Miles’ blog, entitled Reiki Flakey?

Here are a couple of quotes from her post:

How can we communicate Reiki in a way that communicates–that goes to people’s wants and needs and doesn’t scare them off with what looks to the public like New Age goobledygook?

It is admittedly a huge challenge to find the balance of passion and practicality that moves people to consider what we are saying. Yet when you love something as much as we love our Reiki practice, and when you see how quickly it relieves people’s suffering and reconnects them to their best selves, you can’t stop trying.

She shares her ideas on this issue in this post – and the comments are also worth a read.
