Spending warm nights lying under a dark star-filled sky, I can finally breath again and allow a certain reflective energy to return.  It feels like the last time I took a breath was four months ago.  It was a long, slow deliberate breath as I knew then that the journey to Europe would ask me to make decisions at forks in the road and experience the strongest of emotions which arise when faced with fear and uncertainty. 

So why, you might ask did I need to go and place myself in the unknowing, uncomfortable, debt-ridden journey to Europe?  You had a nice life, a nice house, enough money, a new job, the world at your feet.  Because at the beginning of this year I finally realised I had been living everybody’s life but my own.  I had recently made some wonderful discoveries about who I am but was unable to live this path because I had woken up and found myself living in someone else’s house, living someone else’s life – or so it seemed.  What am I doing here, I thought?  Time to go.  I and my partner were having dreams of escaping years ago but had been in England for what I now know to be a very good reason.  We weren’t ready to leave, we only wanted to escape and would have left and begun to live everyone else’s lives but our own in another country and truly, this is not the point.  So, if you’re feeling like you don’t want to be somewhere, know that real change will come only when you are ready inside.  And then, does it come big time and when it comes it is messy and challenging and asks you to trust and take risks and follow your intuition and find your inner strength, to know yourself, love yourself and know that you are loved.  You have to do it and jump.  That’s if you want to experiment with your potential…

Welcome to a new idea, something that sprang to mind before I left England and am now ready to begin.  It is to be brief, an experiment in life, in following what you know to be your heart´s calling despite practical issues and the sense that you would be turning off the path well trod.  Since the time of my first Reiki attunement, I made one decision and that was to choose all roads which called to my true potential as a human being.  It has been a slow peeling of the layers and at times so frustrating as the layers continue to reveal themselves, but it is now my path and for some intuitive reason or another it appears that it is now time to share the experiment with you. 

I had been thinking about all those wonderful self-development, new age, spiritual-type books most of which at some point have been a major influence in my life, and I thought the only thing about them is they are written after the journey.  The author is basically saying, ‘here I am, I have followed a path of self-reflection and spiritual discovery and have finally achieved peace and abundance in my life by finding my potential and now I’m writing about it to help you all find yours’, check out the sparkly, bright-eyed, I’m a very contented, happy person photo on the back or on the inside cover.  This is great but when you read a book like that you always seem to ask, ‘but how do I get from here to there?  I’m enjoying the book, it reminds me of the fact that there is more to life, but how did you do it?’  So, I thought instead of carrying out my own personal experiment in life secretly and then writing about it once I’d achieved something I thought worth writing about, why not let you in on it when and as it happens.  At the same time, you will all be my conscience and as I know you are watching and part of the energy of the thing this will help me focus, and so we will be experimenting together.  Welcome to, a weekly blog detailing the journey as it unfolds, I hope to hear your thoughts as we go along.

Reiki Workshops in the UK

I’ve been given the opportunity to hold Reiki I, II & Masters workshops in Worthing or Brighton (location being confirmed) in September, 2009.

Reiki I

£95

Saturday 19^th September (9am-4pm)

Reiki I will introduce you to the basic history of Reiki and the hand positions involved in a treatment.  Following the attunement, my main aim is to allow you to feel the energy of Reiki so that you are confident in giving a treatment.  You will be a practitioner at the end of the course and I encourage you to practice straight away as this is the only way to heighten your experience of Reiki and bring it into your lives.  You will receive a Course manual and Certificate. 

Reiki II

£125

Thursday 17 September (2pm – 8pm)

Reiki II enhances your practice with a detailed knowledge of the symbols involved in the attunement process.  For many, Reiki II brings them back to Reiki after a time of non-Reiki practice and for these we also go over any Reiki I issues which arise.  You will receive a Course manual and Certificate.

Reiki Master Teacher

£300

Thursday 17 September (9am-1pm)

Friday 18 September (9am-4pm)

The ultimate step in the Reiki journey but really just the beginning.  The Reiki Master course is your decision to live Reiki, be Reiki and choose to follow your ultimate potential.  You receive the Reiki Master symbol both in attunement and for your practice.  As you can imagine, this enhances your practice and changes your awareness in whichever way you choose to follow it. You will become a Reiki Master Practitioner and also learn the fundamentals of becoming a Reiki Master Teacher which you may use to begin teaching and grow as a teacher.  You will receive a Course manual and certificate.

To book a Course or talk more about the Reiki workshops please contact me via email reiki@rebeccahutley.com or send a deposit cheque for £50 (Reiki I & II) £100 (Reiki Master) made out to me: R Hutley, address to: 45 Maid’s Causeway, Cambridge.  CB5 8DE.
