What is Reiki?
Stub your toe or bang your head, and chances are you will intuitively reach for the hurt part of your body and hold it or rub it. This is our natural response to a long-forgotten skill to heal ourselves with a touch from our own hands.
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a natural, hands-on healing technique said to be over 2,500 years old. The word Reiki in Japanese refers to any type of healing using life energy, but when we refer to Reiki we mean the Usui System of Natural Healing. Re-discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, some think it originated as a Tibetan Buddhist healing practice, some believe it originated from the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) himself around the 6th' century BC. It is also thought to be similar (if not the same technique) used by Jesus in his healing. Reiki is a powerful yet simple technique which can easily be learnt by anyone.
Rei — Universal/Spiritual Wisdom
According to Mrs. Takata (a former Reiki Grand Master), the upper kaji ideogram Rei means Universal. By this she was referring to the all-pervading, boundless nature of Reiki. However, research into the more esoteric meanings of Rei have revealed that it can also be interpreted as meaning "spiritual consciousness". This refers to the wisdom originating from God, the Divine Consciousness, or our Higher Selves — which directs the Reiki to exactly where it is needed.
Ki — Life Energy
Ki is the life energy which animates all living things. It is the same energy as the Chinese Chi the Sanskrit Prana, the Egyptian Ka, the Hawaiian Mana, among many others. Illness results whenever the flow of Ki within our bodies is restricted. It is interesting to note that both the Chinese and the Hindus equate Chi/Prana with breath and employ meditative and breathing techniques, such as Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Pranayama. Ki is used by martial art practitioners in their physical training and mental development, and by the shamans of all cultures for divination, psychic awareness, manifestation and healing. Ki is the nonphysical energy used by all healers. Its present all around us and can be accumulated and guided consciously. Be Kind Reiki is based in Sunshine, Melbourne and is where Reiki Master Ken McKean and other Reiki practitioners and massage therapists can help you heal.

Reiki Massage
The technique I use was taught to me by the Australian College of Massage and Natural Therapies. My main focus is on relaxation and healing of the mind and body and relieving ailments such as stress, muscle tension and pain.Massage benefits the body because of the specific techniques it involves. The movements and firm pressure involved in massage affect all systems in the body, including soft tissues such as muscles and also ligaments and even glands. Therapists aren't just giving you a great muscle rub when you go for a massage. They apply pressure to your muscles in movements that are in tune with the natural flow of blood back to your heart. Your body's lymph system is responsible for moving fluids that contain nutrients and wastes throughout your body. Lymph fluid is circulated during voluntary muscle movement. Swedish massage promotes healthy functioning of your lymph system by directly stimulating and relaxing your muscles. If you're suffering from muscular strain, massage can help your body's lymph system flush metabolic wastes such as lactic acid and uric acid from your muscles. This shortens recovery time and helps you feel better faster. The lymph system is also an important part of your body's immune system, as white blood cells are produced and transported through the lymphatic system. Your lymph system is the means by which dead germs are collected in the lymph nodes and removed from the body. Massage helps you stay healthy by supporting your immune system. Massage is also used as therapy for those suffering from osteoarthritis and other painful and debilitating joint conditions. Massage helps increase flexibility, enhances tissue elasticity and reduces pain. Many individuals benefit from a greater range of joint motion and movement thanks to Swedish massage therapy. In almost all cases, massage is considered a safe way to improve osteoarthritis conditions in the knees, hips and other areas of the body. These are three examples of the specific ways massage can help your body heal itself, but they are by no means the only benefits of massage. Massage therapy is very effective at relieving anxiety and is often used to help alleviate the symptoms of depression.A regular weekly massage either will improve your health immensely and give your mind body and spirit good balance to help get through the tough rigours of every day living.
Reiki Courses
There are 3 levels of Reiki. Reiki Level 1 is the start of your journey in healing yourself and others.
Everyone has the power to heal others, as everyone has that pure divine core in their centre. Reiki opens up that channel that connects the divine loving healing energy in the Universe to the divine loving healing energy in you. Reiki is a bit like tuning into a radio station, if you aerial isn't strong enough you get a lot of static noise instead of a clear sound, by the same token Reiki opens up that clear connection between the Universe and you. Then you can use that connection and healing energy to heal yourself or others, including loved ones, plants, animals.
During the course we will give a you a manual which will explain the basics of Reiki, it's history, how it works and how you can use it. Then we will attune you to Level 1 and show you hand positions and techniques you can use on yourself and others. When we're done you will receive a Level 1 Certificate listing the lineage of where your Reiki Masters who have come before us.
Next Reiki Level 1 Course is Saturday 14th September 10am to 3pm.
For Reiki Level 2 Course you also receive an updated manual to add to your Reiki 1 manual and a Reik Level 2 Certificate.
Level 2 opens up your channel even more to the point where you can not only provide Reiki in person, but you can send Reiki to anyone or anything willing to receive it in another room or across the world or Universe as Reiki Energy has no boundaries. You can send healing to your pet if they're not very receptive to physical touch, or you can send healing to a plant or tree, or to your loved ones or to Mother Earth, to your car.
Next Reiki Level 2 Course is Saturday 12th October 10am to 3pm.
When you complete Reiki Level 3 you are at the highest level and can then attune others and teach Reiki. This course is run over 12 months gradually teaching extra elements of Reiki you can use to enhance your healing techniques.
After each course particularly Level 1 and 2 courses you will need at least 6 months. For Level 3 we allow for 12 months. This gives your mind body and soul time to adjust to each new level of attainment.
All three levels help enhance the development of your intuition, although Reiki isn't about being psychic it is about healing.
Note: As Reiki is not a religion and there are no hard and fast rules, (except for asking permission from the recipient and suggestions for guidelines you can follow) you can even do Reiki if you're an Athiest, or have no religion, (like myself).
Your Reiki Master, (who is Ken McKean at the moment) is a Cerified Reiki Master with over 30 years experience.
Meditation Classes
Meditation is fantastic for mind, body and soul's development. It helps you balance yourself from the inside out and helps to manage how you handle all the little and big things life throws at you.
It doesn't matter if you can only meditate for 5 or 10 minutes, sometimes that's all you need to help get your thoughts, feelings and emotions sorted out.
It can help you work out your goals in life. You can reach your higher self and ask questions that you need answered. We can search and search and ask lots of other people the answers to our questions or problems, but sometimes we already have the answers inside of us, we just don't know how to tap into them. These are some of the things meditation can help with.
Meditations will ranges from quiet, still, peaceful sessions to active energy raising sessions and may include some yoga here and there.
Cost of the meditation sessions is by donation.
next session is Sunday 6th October at 11am. Sunshine Primary Health, 111 Durham Road, Sunshine. Call Ken McKean on 0401553510 or call Sunshine Primary Health to put your name on the list ph (03)93102545

Your body and spirit has energy centres that run from the top of your head to your feet. When these centres are blocked problems can manifest in the physical and can hold you back from reaching your full potential. With Reiki these energy centres, (chakras) can be unblocked helping you rebalance yourself so you can reach your goals faster.
