The 21 Day Usui Virtual Retreat Starts Today

21 Day Usui Virtual Retreat
We are honored and delighted that you have chosen to be with us as we commemorate the 144th birthday of Mikao Usui, the founder of our practice, the very first Reiki practitioner.

Usui was a brave and compassionate man whose spiritual longing and effort literally gave birth to this practice, he lives on today in our own practice, even though the form of our practice may be quite different than how Usui himself practiced and taught.

We are a diverse group of Reiki practitioners from around the world. We come from different lineages, different practice styles, different countries, cultures and lifestyles.

Our intention for this retreat is to deepen our relationship with Reiki, and to strengthen our sense of being connected to a global community. So we hope you will reach out and invite others to join us.

This is a very special opportunity for all of us. We have offered you enough structure so that this can be a meaningful adventure into practice for you. We are also counting on each of you to participate in the retreat in the way that works best for you.

You know yourself and you know what your life is like. Please find the balance of commitment and comfort that fits your lifestyle. Look at what invites you to practice, and doesn’t feel burdensome. Don’t make it big, make it steady, and practice every day. Find an amount of daily practice that you can comfortably commit to, and a time when you can place your hands and be with your self-treatment every day. When we want to create change, steadiness and consistency matters.

We hope you will find a way to practice Reiki everyday for the next three weeks, in whatever way you can, and know that we are all practicing with you. But if you miss a day, come back to your practice, and your community, the next day.

It is suggested that you keep a paper and pen near where you practice, so that you can jot down your observations and contemplations after each session, and even between sessions, as an insight blossoms in your awareness.

Follow this link: USUI VIRTUAL RETREAT WEEK ONE look down towards the bottom of the page and you will see the link to Part One which sets the stage and gives you some context and suggestions.

Directly under that link is the link to Part Two which is the actual practice meditation, you may want to listen to more than once that's why it was recorded separately

There is also a link should you choose to forward this to friends you think will be interested in joining us.

Thank you for being with us for this retreat. We look forward to practicing together

Love and Blessings

Mari and Pamela

Connecting and seeing

Good Morning. I am sharing the result of letting go of how my morning "should" unfold and have played like a child with a new toy. I hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it.

Love, Mari
