Usui/Tibetan Reiki
Mikao Usui was responsible for bringing Reiki into the modern age. He is the founder of the Reiki system of healing. Usui Reiki is the most widely used form of Reiki today. It was brought was to the west by a woman named Hawayo Takata who made some variations from the Japanese style Reiki practiced in the original school founded by Mikao Usui.
Usui/Tibetan Reiki combines the original Usui Reiki with a powerful Tibetan method of attunement.

Karuna Reiki®
Karuna Reiki® is a registered trademark of the International Center of Reiki Training. In October of 2002 I traveled to Niagara Falls, Ontario to take Karuna Master Training. I am a register Karuna Reiki Master with the International Center for Reiki Training and teach classes in Karuna Reiki. Karuna is the motivating quality of all those who are working to end suffering on Earth. As I develop Karuna in myself I become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Karuna Reiki® uses healing sounds that can be transmitted silently through intention or by chanting and toning these sacred sounds for deeper levels of healing.

Gendai Reiki
Gendai Reiki has its roots in original Usui Reiki. Mr. Hiroshi Doi is a Japanese Reiki Master who has been spreading the teaching of Usui Sensei and the original Usui Ryoho Gaikai (school) around the world. His school of Reiki is called Gendai Reiki Healing Kyokai. (Gendai means modern) Doi Sensei brings a strong Buddhist perspective to his mix of western Reiki techniques and the original Reiki teachings.

Rainbow Reiki®
Healing and Developing the Body of Light
Working with the seven main chakras within the physical body since 1998 I came to realize there there was something beyond this system which is related to the Tree of Life. I began working with the Tree of Life or Kabala and began to open to expanded perceptions of our true nature. Walter Lubeck is a Spiritual Teacher and Reiki Master who lives in Germany. In 2002 he began teaching a new part of his Rainbow Reiki system for Healing and Developing the Body of Light. The Body of Light is the spiritual energy structure beyond the main chakras. Within the the aura of a human being there are several chakras which organize the Body of Light. It provides a balance between the tasks and responsibilities of the material existence, spiritual laws and the individual vision. This is a profound and esoteric teaching. I was delighted to have Walter as my teacher and guide.

Five-Element-Seichem, Violet-Flame Seichem and Golden Dragon Healing
I have had the pleasure of receiving the teachings and initiations of two levels of this system from Alex Baisley, who is presently the only teacher of this system in Canada. Alex proves to be a wise guide on this journey into the ancient teachings.
Five Element Seichem Reiki consciously utilizes the principals of the five element aspects of Universal Life force that lives in all creation. It is based on ancient Vedic, Yogic, Buddhist, Egyptian and Christ teachings.
Violet Flame Seichem is a tool for spiritual transformation. Its powerful alchemy assist in transmuting lower vibrations to higher vibrations or the lower self into the Divine self.
Golden Dragon connects us to the energetic frequencies of specific healing rays, minerals, metals and crystals so that we may work with them in a more conscious manner. Golden Dragon reclaims connection to the Divine Mother and the ancient initiations of the Sacred Feminine.

Shamballa Multidimensional Healing
In the spring of 2006 I began working towards the Master Level in Shamballa Multidimensional healing with Deb Caldwell. Originally called Shamballa Reiki, it offers a more esoteric perspective to the Reiki energy with the incorporation of many vibratory symbols and healing rays. It allows the practitioner to work with the multi dimensional self repairing damaged energetics. It restores the client to the wholeness, which allows them to complete their soul's experience.
Shamballa offer many techniques, which are fast and efficient in helping to cleanse, repair and balance the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. It works to strip away the illusions of separation that keep us from experiencing the full brilliance of our light bodies.

Reiki Drumming
I am a Certified Reiki Drumming Practitioner. In a Reiki Drumming session I use the Shamanic drumming methods I learned from Michael Baird. When we combine the energy of the drum with Reiki we have a healing method that takes the power of Reiki to a new and profound level of healing. Every organ, every cell in the body is a drum and drumming reminds our body of its ideal vibratory rate, which is in harmony with the pulse of the earth and the Universal flow of creation. I have found that Reiki Drumming affects the physical and subtle bodies simultaneously, helping to bring them into harmony while raising the vibratory rate to levels, which allow the body to accelerate its innate healing abilities.

"Reiki Kids"
Bringing together Reiki and the young is a sure recipe for magic on Earth. In the spring of 2001 Soul Connection designed a "Reiki Kids" program for the special children who will be the teachers and world leaders of tomorrow. We published a Reiki Kids book for the children to use in the classes along with a Teaching Guide for Reiki Masters. These materials were received so well that we have put together a meditation CD designed especially for children. To order any of these items, go to the Reiki Kids website: www.reikikids.ca

The Crystal Bowls and Reiki
The idea of healing with sound is both ancient and futuristic. The crystal bowls are healing tools that have been brought back into modern times through technological advances. Each bowl is tuned to resonate with a particular chakra. The clear tones of the crystal bowls move through the body in vibrant waves, calming, aligning, and healing the energy centers and auric field. The presence and resonance of the bowls will help you to achieve balance and harmony in these times of vibratory acceleration. Crystal amplifies, holds and transmits energy, each bowl is also infused with Reiki so that it will vibrate with the highest healing intention.

Reiki and Crystals
Crystal have been used in technology as powerful transmitters and receivers. Crystals and gemstones grow very slowly and the gemstone realm is a living one. Like the plant and animal kingdoms the crystals are filled with life force energy. In energy healing we use them because they also have the ability to hold and amplify the healing intention. By infusing crystals and stones with Reiki we can father amplify that intention. I find that just by having crystals present in my healing space helps to energize and uplift the vibration in the room.

Reiki for Hospice
Reiki is used in Hospice to bring comfort and ease anxiety. It alleviates discomfort and pain. It makes the process of ‘letting go’ easier. Hospice Wellington is a volunteer organization in Guelph, Ontario, which incorporates Reiki into the services they offer their clients. Along with many other dedicated volunteers I offer my Reiki services to assist the dying and those around them who are dealing with grief. This is one of the ways we can offer Reiki in service to help others.
