Reiki Treatments and Courses

I really enjoyed learning and practising Reiki on Sunday.  The course had the right balance of theory, historical background and practice.  Everyone seemed to be relaxed and friendly.  I really appreciated the fact that everyone was from a different background and it was a delight to see how well we worked together, thanks to Marilyn’s calm and friendly approach!

Hatsurei ho and Reiki treatments were explained clearly and Marilyn’s guidance during the full Reiki treatment was extremely helpful.  Somehow she managed to guide us through these without really interrupting us – that was magic!  Also, what worked really well was that, after each practice, we discussed what we felt and it was interesting to see how people’s experiences varied.

Finally, I would like to mention that after the course I felt rejuvenated.  I was expecting to be tired after a long day but I felt so peaceful and cheerful when I got home.  Since that Sunday my life has changed significantly.  I felt the difference the next morning at work and I found myself concentrating so quickly on what I was doing.  Generally I feel happier, as though my life has become more meaningful.

I practise Hatsurei Ho and the self treatment meditation every day and I have also practised Reiki on a friend once, who fell asleep during the first two minutes after I placed my hands on his shoulders!  There are moments when I am still not sure about what I feel but I am sure that with practise, Reiki will become second nature.  I’m already looking forward to taking Reiki 2 in December!

I thought the course was very well balanced.  I found the materials to be very thorough and easy to digest.  I have seen very few Reiki courses that give so many different learning resources i.e. comprehensive manuals, audio cd’s and dvd’s and having all this prior to the course start dates really helps prepare for the training days.

I was very happy with the presentation of the course.  From the beginning I have felt a strong connection to Marilyn and am so glad to have been guided by her tuition and wisdom.

The energies of the Attunements and the Empowerments felt totally different to me.  I felt a lot more going on with the Empowerments, feeling a very strong connection to the energy, as if this was the one for me!  I found when giving a Western Attunement that I was very involved, but in a different way to how I felt when giving an Empowerment. The empowerments are beautifully simple and feel very Japanese.  I was totally immersed in the Connection ritual.  The best way to describe my own feeling about giving an Empowerment is to describe it as a graceful and gentle dance.

The kotodama feel very beautifully ancient and wonderfully powerful and, again, I feel very much at one with them.

When Reiki first found me, I felt a very strong connection to the energy and realised from the very beginning that it was something I was meant to do.  I knew I wanted to be a practitioner and share this beautiful energy with others and absolutely knew I was meant to teach Reiki to those who wanted to learn this energy system.

Every day I feel so blessed with what Reiki brings to me and what it gives others.  Each day that I work with the energy I learn something new about myself and what it really means to be a Reiki Master Teacher.

I really enjoyed the course.  The materials are excellent and the live course was more than I could have hoped for.  Marilyn made me feel so at ease and the whole day felt peaceful and calm.  I don’t think the course could be improved – it was perfect.

I am really looking forward to taking Reiki 2.

The content of the course was right and from the beginning I knew I was in good hands, so being with the right teacher is an essential element when doing a Reiki course.  The practical part was very useful, as well as interacting with other participants and sharing experiences. 

The empowerments were interesting.  After a few seconds into the first one I heard a distant bell ringing out and at first thought it was my local church!  I also saw a beautiful red light coming towards me then receding.

When I gave my first Reiki treatment to a friend, she was delighted and has asked for another session.

I would like to continue with Reiki 2 when the right moment arrives.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Reiki 1 Course and felt it was very informative and there was a good mixture of discussion with the group, which put people at ease.  I particularly enjoyed ‘Hatsu Rei Ho’ and the self healing meditation and would have happily spent more time doing them. I would definitely take Reiki 2 with Marilyn as her personality and method of teaching is very calming and sincere.
Yvonne de Villele, Central London, October 2009

I really enjoyed the Reiki 1 Course.  It was a lovely small group and we all had time to talk, listen and learn.  There were a lot of shared experiences.  The empowerments were wonderful and different each time.  I enjoyed all aspects of the course.  The literature accompanying the day was very comprehensive, as were the cd’s.  I especially found the meditations valuable. 
Gail Roberts, S E London, October 2009

The course materials were excellent and great as a reference after the Reiki 1 Course.
The course delivery was good. Marilyn was able to answer everyone’s questions and give one-to-one attention, reading the class’s needs and making it a very enjoyable experience.  I now feel more relaxed and enjoy receiving my Reiki empowerments. I follow Mikao Usui’s Precepts every day which is helping me learn to be less angry and worry less.  Also I am beginning to tell people my needs and they listen.  I am writing more too, which I had always found difficult because of my dyslexia.

I have known Marilyn for a very long time and have benefitted from her natural healing ability over a number of years.  Through her Reiki sessions I have experienced peace of mind and deep contentment.  Whatever your need I truly believe that Reiki, with Marilyn, will help you find dramatic relief from your immediate ‘problem’ and certainly the beginnings of a positive and enlightened state of mind.
Christine B. nr. Ilminster, Somerset - May 2008

Marilyn is a natural Reiki teacher.  She exudes calm confidence in her ability to understand the connection with this energy and its deeper spiritual connotations.  The Reiki 1 course was most enjoyable. When I got home I was amazed to be told by my family that a lovely change had already become apparent as I seemed to glow in a calm, relaxed way.
Sally T. Sydenham, London - Sept 2008

As with Reiki 1, I was very happy with the Reiki 2 Course and found the materials very helpful, particularly the photographs.  I enjoyed learning from Marilyn and found her to be a most pleasant and enjoyable teacher and human being to work with and learn from.  I have just set myself up as a Professional Reiki Practitioner and it is wonderful to use this beautiful treatment and for clients to experience Reiki healing.  I am at the beginning of a wonderful journey and I fully intend to study my Masters and to eventually teach Reiki myself.
Ian Geast, Laindon, Essex, May 2009

The Reiki 2 Course met my expectations and the course delivery and materials were excellent. They are valuable and easy to understand.  I took Reiki 1 elsewhere but did not receive a manual.   Taking the Reiki 2 Course has made me realise that the Energy is flowing more quickly and more powerfully.  I feel also more spiritual and intuitive.  I can’t wait to take the Reiki Masters Course.
Sonia Mailot, Biggin Hill, Kent, May 2009

The Reiki Level 2 Course exceeded my expectations. The Course materials were the best I have received so far for any higher learning course I have attended. The day was fun, informative and spiritually uplifting.  Reiki has helped me find an inner calm.  I feel stronger and more able than I have in a while and it has ignited a fire inside me as it is part of my true path I am currently very pleased to be travelling down.
Katy N-V. Bromley, Kent - July 2008

The Reiki 2 Course was excellent and the pace just right and Marilyn made me feel very welcome and relaxed and provided a calm and comfortable environment.  Reiki has definitely changed my life!  It helps me to feel relaxed and calm but it has also made me feel stronger and more confident in myself and my abilities.  I am looking forward to progressing further and building on all I have learnt and experienced.

EFT treatments

'I began seeing Marilyn to get help with a paralysing sense of anxiety which I suffered at almost all times.  As I began tapping on each anxiety in turn, starting from the general and moving towards the particulars such as smoking and drinking, I found that my state of mind became increasingly calm.  The secret of this is that I had not realised that it was possible to change your belief system and rewrite the scripts engraved on your psyche during your early years.  In additiion to feeling calm and optimistic, I have brought down my nicotine and alcohol consumption to negligible levels and am certain I will soon abandon both completely.  I would recommend EFT to anyone.'
D. Livingstone, Beckenham - Oct 2009

Since learning EFT with Marilyn I use it to tap on any anxiety that crops up and soon find that I have forgotten about the issue that has been bothering me.  Sometimes I practise it three times in a day and then feel relaxed enough not to need to work on that particular issue any more.  It has been so helpful, particularly with difficult family issues.
G. Turner, Catford, London - May 2008

For someone who was a ‘non believer’, I now believe that EFT can make a difference.  I have gone from being embarrassed about my fear of cats to being able to have cats in my space, a situation which I have been taught to control. I’m the one in control now and not the cats!  I would highly recommend EFT for any fears or phobias.
