RESONANCE—The Magazine of the UK Reiki Federation
Editorial from Annie Harrington—UKRF Chair
Hello everyone! Firstly, I have to say that I am having a fantastic time as Chair and have met so many wonderful people over the last few months. I have a brilliant back up team in the shape of the Management Committee. They are all very supportive and we communicate almost on a daily basis to share ideas or ask advice.
Where has the time gone? Seems like only a few days since my last editorial but we have achieved so much. Our first major task was to replace Doreen Sawyer as the service provider. As you all know, Doreen served the UK Reiki Federation for many years. At the beginning of this year Doreen decided to re-evaluate her life and chose to take a different path. We waved her off in August and greeted Louise Akehurst in September as our new service provider. Many of you will have spoken to Louise on the phone as she has been the Senior Administrator for the last nine years. Louise has quickly settled into her new role and the office appears to have suffered minimal disruption.
Also in September, we (the Management Committee) held an informal meeting at the office for any members interested in joining the MC. The aim of this was to start a dialogue with a variety of people all working to encourage the continued growth of the UKRF. The meeting was very positive. 13 of us sat around the table and discussed where we could develop and how this could be done. We are now planning sub-groups in various area (e.g. Education; Social Media, PR and Events; Animal Reiki and Research.) Each of these sub-groups will have a core team of 2 or 3 people working together and involving others where necessary. Another suggestion that is at an embryotic stage at the moment is a virtual book club. This would serve at least two purposes – to review books and provide a written review for Resonance and also as a means to acquire CPD points.
The second major task was the Festival and AGM. We have been very lucky to book Yarnfield Park Conference Centre in the Midlands. So many members asked for us to move the Festival closer to the centre of the country to make travelling easier. For the first Festival under our new leadership we have decided to have just a one-day event. The reasons for this were varied – to save time, to reduce costs but also to encourage a higher attendance. Take up on the rooms has been amazing. We started off by requesting 12 bedrooms for members on the Friday night, we quickly had to increase this to 25 and they are ‘going like hot cakes’. We also have a good range of speakers – these will be announced closer to the time but I can tell you now that they have not been speakers at the Festival before. I am really looking forward to hearing from these practitioners as they will be talking about various subjects close to all of our hearts.
Finally, you may have seen this but in case you’ve missed it the programme will still be available on iPlayer: The Retreat with Nick Knowles; Extreme Food; Panorama. Nick Knowles embarks on a 28-day retreat that included Reiki, yoga and vegan food. The Retreat aired from Monday 26th – 30th September at 7pm on BBC2
As ever I am always keen to receive feedback on the UKRF, our activities, what else you want from the Fed or me. Please email me at: [email protected] or [email protected] Thank you for reading. Have a lovely colourful Autumn.

Christine Johnston
The Management Committee of the UK Reiki Federation are sad to announce the recent death of Christine Johnston.
Christine was a member of the UK Reiki Federation Management Committee for many years freely giving her time and expertise since joining the Federation in 1999.
Due to her ill health, Christine retired from the MC in April 2016. At this time Christine was still editing Resonance (the magazine of the UKRF), something that she had been involved in for many years.
Sadly, Christine’s health deteriorated rapidly and she was admitted to hospital in July, where Christine stayed until she left us.
She was a much loved and respected member of the UK Reiki Federation. A lady of great dignity and special friend to us all.
The Management Committee
A Tribute to Christine Johnston – known to me as my first source of inner healing, my Reiki Master-
Teacher, a fellow UKRF management committee member and a friend: When at a low-point in my life, I met Christine Johnston who – after just five minutes in a chair – shared with me the golden light of healing which left me knowing – somehow – everything was not just going to be alright, but was as it should /could only be. That one first meeting opened the doorway to Reiki, to my healing – my learning – and the healing/learning now of many others, and brought my unfolding to spirit. I know I was just one of many to whom she brought such light. Blessings on her soul as she ascends to rejoin her higher-self closer to the source of all light. With love and such fond memories, Wayne Noakes.

Beat Procrastination and Live your Dreams by Rachanaa Jain
I am the Founder of Devine
Messages and author of the
book “Awake Your Dreams: Stop
Procrastinating! Start Achieving!” I
became deeply spiritual when I
came to this country. I was in a new
environment . . . away from family
and friends who were still in India.
At the time, I was studying and my
mother was very ill. I could not
return to be with my mother
because of exams and other
academic requirements. It was
during that time that I began to dig
deeper into the meaning of
spirituality. Since that time, I have
designed my life around what I have
studied, learned, experienced and
mastered. Over the past 7 years, I
have travelled to countless cities
and countries across the world as a
spiritual healer and coach. I have
consulted with and coached
individuals from all walks of life.
When I am coaching a neighbour, a
small business owner, or one of my
celebrity clients, I seek to learn
about each individual’s personal
vision for their lives. More
importantly, I seek to learn about
my client’s personal perceptions of
success and failure.
Through the many conversations I
have had with clients, procrastination
was most often associated with
their perception of failure. It goes
to say, if procrastination is
associated with perceived failure,
not procrastinating should be
associated with success.
To begin, let’s ask ourselves: “What
is procrastination?” According to
t h e O x f o r d D i c t i o n a r y :
“Procrastination is the action of
delaying or postponing something.”
P e r s o n a l l y , I t h i n k o f
procrastination as my way of
avoiding an experience that I
moment you have when you realize
you’ve been working harder, not
smarter. I realized it was actually
more painful for me to go through
the “cram and crash” process every
week than it was for me to actually
study for my History exams. In that
moment, I decided to take control of
my future, and turn the pain of
procrastination on its head. I mastered
procrastination in that specific area
by doing one simple thing: being
creative.
I began to draw images of everything
I had to memorize. This made
History more interesting to me.
Suddenly, I was able to remember
everything about History. I started
enjoying and loving the subject, and
eventually passed the exam with
flying colours. Life functions the same
way. We all have to do things we
simply don’t like to do, but if we can
learn creative, unique, helpful and even
fun ways to make a painful
experience a positive experience, we
become empowered.
In my book, I teach you my six-step
DREAMS system.
This proven system will help you:
* Utilize your personal power to
turn your dreams into reality;
* Achieve an effective and healthy
“mind diet”;
* Heal your spirit, body, and mind;
and
* Learn proven steps to get motivated
about life. Stop procrastinating . . . step
out of your comfort zone and try new
things.
I encourage you to live the life you’ve
always dreamed of. Remember, the
power to achieve your dreams lies
with you! So stop procrastinating
and let me teach you how to start
achieving your dreams today!
perceive to be painful. For example,
a painful experience may be doing
your taxes. We all have to do them,
but the experience of running
numbers, managing receipts, and
itemizing everything from a can of
paint to the ice cream cone you ate 6
months ago can be can be VERY
PAINFUL.
We’ve all been there. Whether it’s
doing taxes or doing the laundry,
people generally avoid doing things
they perceive to be painful, mundane,
tedious, and basically. . . NOT
FUN. Although these different
experiences are painful, the end
result can be positive and rewarding
for us.
When I was in college, I did not like
the subject of History. It was painful
for me to study History. So, I would
delay studying. Then, days before a
major exam, I would frantically stay-
up all-night reading and cramming
for the exam. I would drink 5 or 6
cups of tea to help maintain the “all-
night” pace. On the day of the exam,
I would throw on sweats, get more
tea, rush to class, barely pass the
History exam, and worry whether
or not I had passed the exam. Then,
after receiving my grade, I would
“kick myself” for procrastinating and
for not studying harder.
Then, one day, I had a light bulb
moment. You know, that “ah-ha”
Just BE by Jaqui Mexson, DIP. IIHHT, FFHT
RESONANCE—The Magazine of the UK Reiki Federation
M y holistic journey started in 2000
when, aged 49, I had the
opportunity to spend a year in South
Korea, during which time I was going to
have nothing to do but enjoy myself -
which I did - because I learned Reiki! It
changed my life! My previous employment
history was in P.A./Administration and
Conveyancing, far removed from life as a
therapist.
16 years later and now a multi-disciplined
therapist/teacher, Reiki continues to be
the foundation of my work. Throughout
that period I have almost continuously
been studying in some form or another.
Knowledge is power and credibility and I
continually update/increase my skills.
Six years into my business, during which
time I built up a very busy practice, both
with clients and teaching, I developed
health problems which meant I had to cut
back drastically on the amount of work I
was doing. I was not going to give up my
passion because of my health but this
meant I had to consider new ways of
working which took less effort on my part.
This proved much easier than I had
anticipated. I had plenty of skills I could
utilise and I found myself giving more
thought to the benefits of individual
techniques rather than traditional
treatments. My treatments became a
fusion of all that I had learned. My
‘toolbox’ was expansive.
With a lightened workload I found time to
become a volunteer therapist at a local
hospice, which I did for almost 5 years.
It was during this time that I developed
Just BE (Butterfly Experience). Reiki is not
for everyone, often because of
misconceptions about what Reiki is, but an
alternative was needed. I set about
creating a relaxing experience for my
patients, one which allowed them to
remain fully clothed throughout. There
was obviously potential to develop a
course for people who were chronically ill
or in palliative care. I have heard too
many stories where someone was turned
away from treatment because they had
cancer, or an illness. That should never
happen! There is always something you
can do. I wanted to create that
something! Yes, Reiki is safe and is a
wonderful option but we know it’s not
for everyone.
Having created Just BE, I wanted to have
it accredited as an approved short
course and I successfully went through
the accreditation process with the FHT.
A lot of time and effort went into this
but it was worth it. Many people are
benefitting from receiving a ‘Butterfly
Experience’ and feedback has been
amazing. Just BE puts people back in
touch with touch. It reconnects them to
their own bodies, allowing them to Just
BE.
The first time I taught Just BE I realised it
was having a profound affect on
students. For some it was their first
foray into therapy work. I knew I was
creating a healing treatment but did not
realise its potential. At the end of the
first weekend it was as if some of the
therapists had been attuned to Reiki as
part of the process of learning Just BE!
What they were feeling and experiencing
throughout training was at times
dramatic and quite a few tears were
shed, some of joy, some just emotional
release. I have no problem using the
term ‘healing’ in my work. My definition
of to ‘heal’ is to Help, Ease And Love! I
encourage students to use the word but
to explain the meaning of it. No one can
argue with that definition.
Many Reiki practitioners realised that
Reiki worked beautifully with Just BE
and now refer to their treatments as
‘Butterfly Reiki’. It is like Reiki with
movement. No standing st i l l .
Encouraging the body to go with the
flow ensures the therapist feels so
much better giving a treatment and the
recipient definitely benefits too.
Just BE puts people back in touch with
compassionate, meaningful and
structured touch. Every technique has
a purpose and can easily be tailored to
suit the individual needs of the
recipient. Although taught as a full
body treatment, it can easily be broken
down to cater for short treatments.
Just BE is proving a hit with everyone,
not just those who are ill. It is
extremely relaxing and we know that
when a body is relaxed it has more
potential to heal itself.
I have never advertised for business in
my years of practice, believing instead
that those who are meant to find me
do so - and I amazed at how they do
find me! However, things are
changing. I have been told I need to be
more visible with Just BE. More
people need to know about it. So, at a
time in my life when I thought I would
be retired, I find myself looking into
having a website. However, what work
I do will be enjoyable and will change
the lives of my students and clients!
What better thing than to offer your
clients time out to Just BE! Touch
delivered with caring hands can work
wonders.
The only pre-requisite for training is a
Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology
qualification and if you don’t have that
it need not be too expensive to get
one.
Please feel free to contact me.
Alternatively, why not come along to
the UK Reiki Federation Conference
on 1st April 2016 as I will be one of
the guest speakers and will be talking
about and demonstrating Just BE
(Butterfly Experience).

Dog Friendly Retreats by Wendy Radford
I run an holistic and spiritual healing
centre in East Sussex and I am also a
Reiki Master Teacher/Practitioner.
Recently I have been asked to take Reiki
to a beautiful Yoga Retreat. This is not
just any retreat, no….this is a retreat
where your dog is as welcome as you
are!
I just had to bring this to all the dog
lovers among you. It is the brain child of
a lovely lady called Julie could find no
retreat that would take her dogs too, so
she decided to set up her own. She now
runs pet-friendly “ Paws for Thought
Retreat”, an all-inclusive vegetarian yoga
retreat set in beautiful East Sussex
offering canine massage and yoga
alongside meditation, aqua yoga, guided
walks, reiki and more.
It is a known fact that animals have been
providing therapeutic support for
people’s emotional welfare for many
years. It has been established that being
around a balanced, undemanding pet that
gives unconditional love brings much
positivity and promotes healing. The idea
is to have a break away from the stresses
of life and whilst you relax, re-energise
and re-balance your dog can be part
of it too. They have a dedicated
Canine Carer at each retreat to
assist you with your pooch’s care
should you wish to attend a class,
activity or treatment. Or if you do
not have a pet yourself…. just go and
enjoy the benefits of other people’s
dogs while destressing!
They have an amazing atmosphere
and I cannot recommend it highly
enough to those who want to
holiday/go on retreat and would like
to take their dogs for a special
ho l iday too . A “w in w in”
situation…..happy you and happy
dog.
“This is the must have handbook for all
Reiki Practitioners who want to do more to
heal the world. Readers will combine their
own interests with proven (US) Public
Health methods to take Reiki healing to
new places.
At this point in time, Reiki Practitioners have
merely scratched the surface of what Reiki
can do to heal our planet and all the living
beings that co-exist here. But that is about
to change.”
I was intrigued on first reading this
paragraph on the back cover of this
book which is really well laid out and will
be very easy to dip into, making it a
useful resource to have in your
bookshelves for reference again and
again, which is exactly as the author
intended.
The format is quite interactive with
meditations and other exercises
peppered throughout to enable the
reader to formulate their own plans for
taking reiki into their own community
that resonates with their personal path
in life, whether that is as a “lone wolf”
or as a “Reiki Team.” There is a strong
emphasis on journaling so very much a
guide and not a rule book. I thoroughly
enjoyed reading this book from start to
finish and I particularly liked the
chapter on reiki roles where Kay asks
that although by this point we have a
“Reiki Dream,” do we know the specific
role we are intended for?
“Your Reiki Role provides the foundation
for the activities you do to bring Reiki to
the world.” Kay explains.
What you bring back from the guided
meditation will be a very personal
interpretation and again we are
encouraged to journal the experience
and to reflect on how we move
forward. Kay uses her extensive
knowledge and experience as an Usui/
Holy Fire II and Karuna Reiki Master,
Masters of Public Health in Behavioural
Science and Bachelor of Science in
Sociology to deliver a brilliant resource
for Reiki Practitioners everywhere to
get out into their own community. This
book has given me lots of food for
thought that I know will enable me to
further my own reiki journey. I look
forward to the next in the series. THE
REIKI SERIES - is designed specifically
for Reiki Practitioners to increase the
amount of light, love and healing in the
world. Additional books planned for
the series include an exploration of
the many ways Distance Reiki can be
used to improve the health of the
world around us, a training program
to increase the Reiki Practitioners
flow of Ki (universal life energy), and a
daily devotional Distance Reiki to
focus on world healing.
A Book Review by Jackie Colpitts
Community Reiki - The Reiki Practitioner’s Guide to Healing the World
by Kay Adkins
P art of the magic of Reiki is the
way that it opens up new
horizons for us... Brings each of us to our
own unique path, and makes a picture out
of all the pieces of the puzzle that have
gone before.
For a long time, I was a painter – and a
part-time Reiki healer. Then Reiki 2
happened, and suddenly that started to
change. I started “Reiki Painting”. At first,
it was a way of self-healing. Then Reiki 3
happened. And I was shown that Reiki
Painting was not just for me – I could use
it with others too.
I started by experimenting with friends,
realising that I needed to be able to
explain what I was doing to others. I had
to start translating personal, intuitive
knowledge into something more
universal. I needed to explain why it
worked, not just know that it did.
Each session with each practice “client”
revealed more to me about the modality,
although it was only once I started
working with the Ascended Masters that
things became clear. Essentially, Reiki
Painting uses Reiki to transform human
emotion into light. Clients are invited to
talk to me about anything. You do not
necessarily have to know in advance what
you want to bring – issues emerge as and
when they need to.
As you speak, I share your emotional
space and witness whatever you choose
to share with me. As you speak, I channel
Reiki into (coloured) water, which I then
use to express that light energy on paper.
In this way, you can release any negative,
or difficult, thoughts and emotions
through having them shared and validated,
and you can then observe their
Page 8
your feelings, you can become aware
of them as separate. Your emotions
are not “You”. The experience can be
particularly powerful because the
painting makes the distance between
you and your feelings physically “real”.
This is very different to the approach
of traditional “Talking Therapies” in
which clients are encouraged to go
into and analyse their thoughts and
emotions. It’s more like mindfulness
on a plate, without years of meditative
practice.
What has struck me very powerfully
as I do this work is the impact that
Reiki Painting can have on people from
all backgrounds. As a kind of “Talking
Therapy”, it seems to appeal to people
who might not normally be so open to
energy healing. And because clients
have only to be willing to share their
thoughts and emotions with me, but
do not have to engage with the Reiki
themselves (I do that), the sessions
have a very strong impact, regardless
of the other person’s openness to the
energy. There appears to be a kind of
universality about this healing
modality, such that it can reach those
whom Reiki might not normally reach.
Most important, perhaps, though, is
the fact that, because the sessions
create a distance from and transform
whatever you choose to communicate
to me, you will leave feeling lighter
than you came in… Except for the
painting itself, which you can take
home with you to display, or reflect
on. In one client’s words, it is your
‘map of the moment’ and ‘an object of
light and hope.’
…And I continue to Reiki Paint – for
myself. The images that the water
produces are beautiful and organic,
while the peace and light that it
continues to bring me can be more
powerful than a meditation.
transformation into light.
Reiki Painting relies on the power of
water to absorb energy of all kinds. I
learnt this first from Masaru Emoto and
his extraordinary photographs of water
crystals. Emoto showed that the
molecular structure of water changes
according to the energy it is exposed
to - that water molecules can reflect
extraordinary beauty and purity, or
pollution and violence. And, because we
are largely made up of water, our own
thoughts, feelings and intentions can
affect the water outside of us – it’s quite
literally a ripple effect.
It is also helpful that our bodies are 70%
water, and so our emotions are,
basically, movements (or vibrations) in
the water of our cells. This makes
movement in water a very powerful
language with which to express human
feeling. Because of this, I never use a
paintbrush. Instead, a little like Tai Chi, I
use the movement of my body with the
paper to direct the flow of the water.
The coloured marks that the water
leaves on the paper reflect the
movement (or feelings) of the water in
my own body. When I am working with
your emotions, the water reflects what I
have picked up from you.
Interestingly, I have, in other contexts,
worked with children who, with no
encouragement, choose instinctually to
pour water onto paper to communicate
how they feel inside. It’s as though the
link between water and our emotions is
a very primal and instinctual one.
Reiki Painting is not art therapy, though.
It is an energy healing that allows me to
empathically share and relieve you of
whatever was weighing you down, while
using coloured water to express it and
its transformation into light. In this way,
through the painting, you can witness
your own healing.
There is a mindful aspect to the process,
too. Watching me paint and transform

experience. Just think how much we could
gain from each other by sharing our
experiences, knowledge and learnings (from
successes and mistakes) and what simpler way
than writing a couple of paragraphs or more
in our own members magazine.
In this issue Kat Shaw, one of our Animal
Reiki Pioneers has written an article to give
helpful advice about working at a dog
rescue. Kat is a Reiki Master Teacher and
Animal Reiki Practitioner with much
experience of working with cats and dogs
gained from training courses but more
importantly years of practical hands on work
at a dog rescue centre. She has made such a
difference at Glendee Rescue and provides
inspiration that many of us might benefit from.
Thank you Kat.
I ’ve heard it a hundred times over:
“How can you work in a rescue centre – it
must be so sad.” Yes, It can be soul
destroying seeing what the supposed more
evolved species can do to animals.
The realisation of not being able to help
every dog can break you, make you hate
people and feel so hopeless that you just
want to run.
But it can also be the most fulfilling thing
you will ever do. Seeing a broken soul
grow and heal is euphoria. Some days you
succeed.
I have been lucky enough to have been at
Glendee Rescue in Welham Green, Herts
for over 2 years, and each day is a
rollercoaster of emotions. Elation to
desolation all within 5 minutes. But, I’d not
be without it. I started as a volunteer
giving Reiki to the dogs, and now do all
admin, process applications, home checks,
dog walking, rehabilitation training,
adoption contracts and sort logistics.
But my favourite part of working at
Glendee will always be the Reiki.
Sadly, tens of thousands of dogs are
euthanized in the UK EVERY SINGLE
YEAR, simply due to lack of homes, and
constant irresponsible overbreeding. At
Glendee, our aim is to rescue as
many animals as we can and place
them into loving homes, giving them
a well-deserved second chance for
happiness.
And I truly believe Reiki helps them
along the way.
By offering Reiki to animals in
rescue, I have been not only given
the luxury of watching them grow
and begin to trust again, but also
unlimited teaching opportunities
from every animal I have had the
pleasure of working with. Lessons
about love, compassion, forgiveness,
trust, patience, resilience and simple
joy.
So, for those who tell me they’d be
“too sad” to work in rescue, I tell
them this: Reiki is a wonderful way
to bring hope, healing, relaxation
and stress relief to animals. Many
animals have suffered at the hands
of humans, and to teach that human
touch does not have to be feared is
what pushes me through all of the
sadness and drives the fight for
these animals.
Rescue Reiki by Kat Shaw
Page 10
RESONANCE—The Magazine of the UK Reiki Federation
Animals respond naturally to Reiki
energy, and don’t often take long to trust
again and I have consistently seen animals
who have suffered traumatic pasts,
benefit tremendously from Reiki energy
as well as the association that humans
can be there to care, nurture and love
them. Reiki can seriously transform the
lives of rescue animals. From healing
physical injuries and illnesses to helping
with emotional issues such as
abandonment, depression or behavioural
issues, it can build the bond of trust back
up again and allow the animal to move
forwards into a new home, which would
not have previously been possible.
So, how do you go about volunteering in
a local rescue centre?
Get some background knowledge and
experience of working with your chosen
animal.
Google local rescue centres and visit a
few to get a feel of the energy there.
Approach a rescue centre and arrange a
meeting with the manager. Rescue
centres are often run by volunteers, so if
you cannot get an appointment
immediately or the meeting has to be
cancelled – don’t take it to heart. The
dogs and rescue animals come first.
Smaller rescue centres are often easier
to approach, and more able to include
complementary therapies.
Sometimes the rescue centre will have a
volunteer coordinator – they may be
better contacted and more available to
meet with you.
Not everybody will initially understand
or believe in Reiki! Getting a foot in the
door is important, so volunteer in other
ways – walk the dogs or offer other
servicers which will help the rescue
centre. When they know you, they will
be more inclined to give you more
responsibility.
When you meet, be prepared. I always
had a hand out to give so that they
remembered me after I’d left the
meeting.
Explain Reiki simply and how it can help.
The ultimate aim of a rescue centre is to
rehome abandoned animals, so that is the
kind of thing they will want to hear – not
a huge in-depth explanation. Something
like: “Reiki is a non-invasive traditional
Japanese relaxation technique which has
been shown to remove stress and ease
anxiety or behavioural issues in rescue
dogs. When an animal is calm, they can
respond more effectively to training in
order to get them ready for a new home
quicker. Reiki can help to calm not only
individual animals, but the whole kennel
environment, speeding the healing
process and healing the emotional issues
which could be the root of the
behavioural problems which impede
adoption.”
Being Reiki 2 attuned and not having to
be in contact with the animals will also
go in your favour.
I’ve never asked for payment from a
Rescue centre for Reiki.
There are a few bits of advice I would
give at this point.
* Ensure you ground and protect
yourself. It can be sad, and you can feel
helpless, and even though you may give
24 hours a day to rescue, you still won’t
be able to help every animal.
* Practise self-preservation, knowing
that you are doing your best.
* Set specific times aside to dedicate to
rescue and try not to do any more.
This can sound harsh, but, I know only
too well from experience that you get
so drawn in that you forget yourself.
And your life. You carry the pain and
the hopelessness of the situation, and it
can drag you down and zap your
sparkle
* Focus on what you have done – not
what you haven’t done. Focus on
what you can do and not what you
can’t.
Hopefully this has helped you and
inspired some of you to work in
rescue. To see the photos a year on
of a dog in a new, loving home, smiling
with his new family is like gold when
you signed the relinquishing form for
that poor, underweight broken soul.
It may seem daunting, but I can assure
you that the more time you spend
volunteering, the more comfortable
you will become with offering Reiki to
animals and the more confident you
will become in advocating Reiki’s
benefits to heal a wide range of
challenges effectively for rescue
animals.
So, in answer to “I don’t know how you
do it”… I think this poem says it
perfectly…

for and why that matters.
You’ll forget why you matter.
You’ll question what you’re doing. You’ll
wonder if it’s worth it.
But…
When you forget, question, wonder…
All you have to do is look around…
You’ll see them. Their faces. Their smiles.
You’ll feel their love.
In their eyes, you’ll see their journeys…
You’ll remember their beginnings…
You’ll know how far they’ve come…
You’ll remember when they didn’t trust
you…
When they’d given up.
You’ll remember how you loved them…
How they loved you, too.
And you’ll want to move forward… For
them… and because of them.
In your darkest hours, you’ll see the
RESCUE EXPLAINED.........
The neglect changes you. The abuse
hardens you. The ignorance angers you.
The injustice destroys you.
On a daily basis…your faith will be tested.
Your heart will be wounded.... Your soul
will be altered.
On a weekly basis…you’ll question
yourself. You’ll question your strength.
You’ll question the world.
On a monthly basis…you’ll fall down.
You’ll get up. You’ll go on…
On a yearly basis…you’ll look back…
You’ll see faces you couldn’t save. You’ll
mourn, grieve. Sob.
You’ll trust less. Do more. Fight harder.
You’ll hope and pray. You’ll fail. Succeed.
Accept.
You’ll learn when to hold on. When to
give up. When to let go.
You’ll learn who you are. What you stand
differences made…the hope given…
and the lives saved…
Because you existed.
In those moments, when you look into
their eyes…every doubt will disappear.
Every question will be answered.
Every worry will subside.
Because in each of your hearts you’ll
share the very same thought:
“Every bit of pain was worth it…
for this moment here with you.”
And honestly…no matter what else
happens… Those moments hold all the
strength you need…
To keep going.
Rescue is pain.
Rescue is joy.
Rescue is worth it…
because they are worth it.

Doreen Sawyer
I t’s been a goal of mine for two or three
years now to get the GPs of Darlington
to offer Reiki, free of charge, naturally, to
their patients.
At the moment, the only complementary
therapy they can offer is acupuncture.
Those of you who are familiar with the
management structure of the NHS will be
aware of the existence of the bodies known
as Clinical Commissioning Groups. They
replaced the old PCTs (Primary Care
Trusts) a few years ago, and for the first
time gave GPs their own budgets, and the
power to commission services for their
patients.
I went to a meeting three years ago here in
Darlington where the local CCG were
telling the good people of the town what
their function is. I asked why they weren’t
offering Reiki to their patients: “Because no
one’s asked us” they replied.
To cut a long story short, I therefore
wrote a report, recommending the use of
Reiki at said GP surgeries. It was 348 pages
in length, and contained 74 clinical trials, in
addition loads more evidence of Reiki being
used already in various parts of health care
throughout the world.
They had the report for over a year before
telling me it wasn’t a priority, and that
therefore…...well, you know the rest.
I tried approaching the three Tyneside
CCGs next, and they also ignored me.
Nobody was prepared to have even the
briefest of meetings with me.
Ok. Time moved on, and last week I saw
an article in our local council’s monthly
newsletter. About the Darlington CCG.
About CCG’s Community Council.
Their website asks -
“Do you want to influence local NHS
decision making? Then why not
become a member of your local
CCG Community Council.
Do you want to improve health
services in your local community?
Do you want to have a voice and get
involved in the way your health
service is run?
Do you want to get involved in
shaping and delivering new and
exciting services?”
Er, yes, I have put my application in,
needless, really, to say. I will keep you
posted as to the result.
And I wondered about you, the reader of
Resonance? You will have a CCG
governing the GP services in your area.
Have they got a similar Community
Council?
I bet they have. Why don’t you join
it! Influence the delivery services at
primary care level, and do your bit
to bring NHS Reiki to your fellow
patients!
THANKS
Reiki at the Sutton Cancer Support Centre
RESONANCE—The Magazine of the UK Reiki Federation
T he Sutton Cancer Support Centre
CSC is based in the West Midlands
and was founded in 2000 by a former
nursing sister tutor, Mavis Cunningham.
She based the Sutton centre on many of
the results obtained from work done by
the Bristol Cancer Support Centre which
had opened in 1984. Both Sutton and
Bristol offered support and guidance to
patients and families affected by a diagnosis
of cancer. Both centres were and still
remain Charitable Trusts dependant on
donations as well as grants for their source
of income.
Initially CSC was only able to offer
counselling and meditation, delivered from
a small room based at the local hospital.
Today, the Centre and the local hospice
Day Centre, share a beautiful, purpose-
built building set in over an acre of gardens.
The setting and the wonderful volunteers,
who help run the centre, provide a tranquil
and relaxing environment for both clients
and those who work there.
We are now able to offer a wide range of
complementary therapies, delivered by
therapists experienced in working with
patients with cancer.
We are often referred to as ‘The Hidden
Gem’ in Sutton Coldfield.
My involvement with the CSC started in
2001/2 when Mavis asked me to teach
Reiki to some of the Centre patients
(clients). I accepted Mavis’s request and
have continued to teach Reiki at the
Centre ever since.
Initially I started to teach clients to Reiki
Level 1 in 2002. I then continued to teach
clients and therapists to Level 2 and then
Level 3a & 3b (Masters/Teachers)
Several of these Reiki Masters are now
working either at local hospices, some with
patients with muscular sclerosis (MS) and
others with severely disabled patients at
the local Leonard Cheshire Home.
Several former clients have qualified to
Level 3 and are now working as therapists
at the Centre.
The Centre also supports a regular Reiki
Share every 3rd Sunday morning. A
Distant Healing Time is observed at the
Share so that Healing can be sent to all
who request it, as well as for World Peace
and World Healing.
Our Reiki Masters now number 16 and we
host an Annual Reiki Masters ‘Afternoon-
Tea’ Reunion. This involves a lot of cake
eating, catching up with old friends and
making new friends. We always include a
Reiju Blessing together with any thoughts
or questions that may have arisen from our
work. We have also included a Reiki Quiz,
a ‘Sound Bath’ or Reiki Drum into past
reunions.
At this time, most therapists working at
the Centre can and do offer Reiki. This
may be as a ‘combined therapy’ such as
Reiki with M-Technique, Auricular Acupuncture with Reiki, Facial Reflexology
with Reiki or Hypnotherapy with Reiki or
simply as Reiki.
Reiki is such a fantastic gift and such a
special one for those whose lives have
been disrupted by the turmoil of any major
illness, especially one such as cancer. It
allows us to access our Inner Self and
either help us change what we need to
change or accept that which we cannot
change.
Today, patients are being treated more
intensely than 15 years ago and are having
to return to work quite soon after their
NHS treatments finish. The Centre is now
seeing about 250 new clients per annum.
It also has about 450 other clients
registered as ‘active’ – these are clients
who are now in the ‘Well Being’ category
or who attend group therapies or who
have returned to work and can only come
to the centre occasionally.
Increases in client numbers coming to the
Centre and the need for the clients to be
able to support themselves when away
from the Centre, meant offering more ‘Self
Help Techniques’ (SHT) to our clients.
These are offered as educational
workshops promoting information,
relaxation & meditation. The workshops
sign post clients to more in depth courses
such as Reiki Level 1 which offers an
excellent means of promoting Self-Healing
whilst introducing people to learning the
‘Relaxation Response.’
Learning Reiki gives clients a means to help
themselves through difficult times. Times
when perhaps they are awake in the
middle of the night, unable to sleep and do
not want to wake their family or friends.
Reiki can then be their ‘Support Blanket.’
It can help them relax and so
reduce pain, it can comfort them
when they are frightened and alone
and it is always available to them
where ever they are.
The Centre Trustees took
ownership of my old Usui Reiki
course and adapted it so that it
could be delivered by any
designated Reiki Master already
working for the Centre. Three
Centre Reiki Masters offered their
help.
We worked as a team to add the
best parts of each of our own
training courses to the existing
Usui Reiki course. We wanted to
be able to produce a course that w o u l d i n c l u d e p e r t i n e n t
meditations, simple and easy for
our clients to use, and which could
assist them improve their own
health and wellbeing. We now have
4 Reiki Master facilitators trained
to deliver this course throughout
the year. Each facilitator will issue
their own certificates and lineage.
Our first Facilitator-lead Reiki
Level 1 course was successfully
delivered over 2 Saturdays in
September 2016 to 9 clients by
Reiki Master Karen Taft. We have
always run the Reiki Level 1 over 2
Saturdays as many of our clients
are too poorly to cope with one
long day. The Centre provided the
premises, the Facilitators Manual
and client manuals for the course,
arranged client bookings and Karen
delivered the course, performed
the Attunements (with me assisting
as there were so many students on
the course) and Karen issued
Certificates and Lineage under her
own name.
The CSC Usui Reiki course now
promotes the use of 4 lovely
meditations.
Page 13
Earth Ki for grounding at the
beginning of the day, Heart Ki before
giving Reiki to themselves or others
and Heaven Ki before receiving
Attunements. We close the day with
the Circles Meditation.
Over 150 CSC clients have already
learnt to give themselves Reiki. Some
have progressed onto become Reiki
Masters and now teach other clients
Reiki. The centre still continues to offer
complementary therapies on a one to
one basis to all newly diagnosed clients
and their families but by continuing to
AUTUMN 2016 PAGE 12
promote and train clients to learn Reiki
it offers them a special means of
supporting themselves throughout
their cancer journey.
Namaste from Reiki Master Toni Lester
I have been a reiki master for a
little while now and I have seen so
many good results but my favourite
one was when a gent came to see me
with bad psoriasis.
He had been to the doctors and had gone down the route of trying all the
creams he could, this seemed to have
no affect on his condition. He was
beginning to feel fed up with trying
different things with nothing seeming
to work.
This gent was recommended to see
me, so I began by carrying out a
thorough consultation in order that I
could understand what might be
causing the psoriasis to flare up.
I decided to take a photograph before
giving him reiki; his head was so sore
and very patchy.
I then treated him with reiki for about
30 mins. All seemed to go well; he
went home and left it at that. The next day his wife took another
photograph showing there was no sign
of psoriasis.
He couldn't believe that after one
session it had cleared up. This was
about 9 months ago and he is still free
of psorias is at the moment.
Just thought I would share this
experience with you.
T his happened two weeks back. I
would like to let everyone know of
this wonderful healing technique called
Reiki.
A very amazing thing happened to a boy
of 16 years of age after he fell from a
height of 5 metres.
He had two fractured ribs. Fortunately they did not puncture the lungs. He also
had a fracture in his left collar bone.
Bruises on the left side of the face and
swelling as well. His mother knows Reiki
so immediately started sending him Reiki
and was with him in the hospital. He was
discharged from hospital after 2 nights.
The mother called me on the 4th day
after his accident. He was walking
completely bent on his right side as he
had pain from the fractured ribs.
I gave him about 15 minutes of Reiki,
hands on. After that he walked a bit
straighter, but still bent. Three days of
hands on Reiki did wonders for him. He
was walking normally and his wounds on
the face healed quickly.
He had to see the doctor eight days
after the fall and the doctor was amazed
at the progress of the healing. The doctor mentioned that it was very
fast healing as this would usually have
taken at least three to four weeks. He is now back to school feeling much
better.
I am a Reiki Master. I was giving a
treatment to a lady in her early 60’s
using crystals along with Reiki.
She was struggling after the death of
her son 12 months previously and also
suffered from a bad chest and gall
bladder pain. I treated her as usual,
cleared her chakras and then when I
was checking that her energy was
flowing properly through the body and
out of her feet, I realised that the
energy was blocked in her left leg
around the calf. I began to clear it,
but ..... it was good and stuck! It just
would not clear no matter what I did.
Just when I was wondering what to do
next, assistance arrived. A male figure
appeared at the end of the treatment
bed and started a pulling motion. It was
though he was pulling a knotted rope
through her leg and out of her foot. I
realised, as he pulled, that the Reiki was
flowing past where it was stuck and out
of her left foot. Then he disappeared.
The Reiki was flowing freely.
I don't know whether it was her son or
her guardian spirit who had come to
help me, but I was mighty surprised!
This is the only time it has happened to
me in 7 years of treating people.

at a Treatment By Jill Manley

Reiki Healing By Karla Smithies
I am a Reiki Master teacher and my students have recently qualified as Masters too
and been attuned. We are all very good friends now and meet up regularly for
Reiki Share mornings. We thought it may be a good idea to make the public more aware of Reiki as we
love it so much so the 5 of us rented a hall and advertised a Reiki demonstration
event. We gave free taster sessions out to the public with hopes of getting more people
interested in Reiki. We had a very good afternoon and a brill turn out. We handed out leaflets and
half price vouchers and sold refreshments for charity. We are definitely organising
more. We just wanted to let you know what we've been doing to raise awareness
of the benefits of reiki and to attract people to book for sessions with us.
We are Jane, Leah, Kay, Stacy and Heather. We bought T-shirts with reiki on it as
a sort of uniform.
