Elaine Hamilton - Exploring Nonduality, Reiki, Meditation and Mindfulness

The idea that Reiki is like sending unconditional love is not necessarily accurate. Sending someone Reiki healing is an active and energetically shifting exchange that should always be done with consent. https://www.reiki-centre.com

September's Reiju gathering we discuss how often to do a Reiki attunement as compared with self-healing. The differences and why it is important to listen to your own body and go at your own pace. Timestamp to beginning of meditation: 17:50 To join the monthly Reiki Reiju's, offered free: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

Often when Reiki teachers use the term "universal life force" it may give the impression of a higher power or god or source in some religious context. Reiki is not religious, nor does it need any religious belief to practice. It is more like the flow of energy you receive from walking in the forest or by the seaside. htpps:// www.reiki-centre.com

Debbie Lindsay is a wonderful example of personal growth and courage combined with Reiki and what can be achieved. From neurodiverse challenges, to being a carer for her lovely husband (who makes a guest appearance), to an open discussion around her challenges with an eating disorder. An inspiring conversation!

Practice this breath awareness meditation for stilling the mind, becoming more curious and grounded and bringing you back into your inner sense of peace and calm.

You know the most about you, and an important part of the spiritual journey is coming into your own self-empowerment and giving yourself permission to find your own path and define what success means to you.

Why does our Reiki practice fall away often when life gets busy? Why is it so difficult to pull our attention back to the present moment? How do I stop letting busy activities and life's demands get the better of me? Realising the mechanics of thoughts is much more important than the content of thought, this breakthrough will free you from the heaviness of thinking and the belief you have to keep...

A whirlwind of profound topics from trying to be 'normal' in a corporate culture, to finding a deep authenticity and joy with Reiki, ageing and being a carer, transition and how that can be experienced as an energetically sensitive person, and much more!

A classic CBT technique for bringing you back into the present moment quickly and effectively, 54321: 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can feel/sense, 2 things you can taste/smell and one long deep breath. Practice several times a day to remind yourself your life is here, and now! Elaine Hamilton, https://www. Reiki-Centre.com

There are many ways to wake up to the truth of what you are, and many different paths. Each teacher has their own experience but a common pathway is mindfulness and meditation, and this is why its such a popular pathway. Elaine Hamilton, https://www. Reiki-Centre.com

In July's Reiki reiju gathering we have a few questions around what Reiki is, is it a positive force or energy? And if some people have it naturally how do they use it more effectively? We also have a guided attunement and Reiki healing meditation to check it out for ourselves. To join the monthly Reiki reiju please see details here: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

Have you even deeply pondered the amount of time and energy we place on the imagined future and how much extra suffering, inner bullying and stress this causes? What would it be like to bring all that wasted energy into the present moment? More on the Fetters: https://www.simplytheseen.com/

So much wisdom packed into this interview! We discuss relationships and how we become easily lost in the needs of others, cultural pressures, finding yourself again, coming home with Reiki and much more! To connect with Niru: https://www.instagram.com/nirupama.soni/

June 2024 Reiki reiju - we discussed the seeking energy that tends to push us outwards, grasping and feeling discontent, the voice that says this is not enough, you are not enough. Rather than following the outward impulse, return inwards and follow the thoughts and the impulse back to source. When the energy returns home, peace is found.

In this chat we cover a lot of ground, exploring the wonderful unfolding process of our Reiki and life journey, holding a vision or dream and a tender look at connecting through Reiki with loved ones with Alzheimers.

Often its our assumptions about things rather than the thing itself that makes contentment and enoughness always out of our reach. Getting clear on what terms mean to you can be half the battle when searching for this elusive "inner peace" stuff. Asking AI to give me an image of inner peace says it all - how is this image even reality, achievable, normal? Cut yourself a break and just go for deep...

May 2024 Reiki Reiju gathering, we combine the 'Leaves on a stream' therapeutic meditation with our Reiki healing to allow us to explore the movement of thought. Often when we face a thought storm or repetitive thought patterns we try to distract or run away from it. Turning to face the storm has an impact of slowing it down and taking the power away from the thoughts and back into our hands. Isol...

Some useful info for those at Reiki level 2 and above, afew key properties of the Power symbol to take note and help guide a more appropriate and effective use of this empowering and enhancing symbol. To join us monthly on zoom: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

In the beginning our Reiki journey feels very worthwhile, lots of things change and we see real and significant shifts that make our lives better. But sooner or later we get down to the real juicy, challenging layers of our onion layers - the core beliefs that may require some really difficult actions. This is where we need to use Reiki for courage, resilience and strength and do the inner work, m...

A very peaceful wave of energy, reminding us that our contribution is simple, just being open and present, when we take care of our own inner peace we ripple it out. Taken from the Container meditations 9/2/22

Based on a question I received we discuss what Reiki is and encourage our own experimentation and validation, what works for you? What happens in your own experience when you give Reiki through a bad mood? Also discussed is the difference between Reiki energy and our own personal energy.

Our April Reiki gathering discussion focused on "it is what it is" and the discussion of the mythology of "be it to my Highest Good". Often the expectation that if I learn my lessons I can make unpleasant things go away, and then resisting those challenging or unwanted events - this brings anxiety and suffering.

A discussion on the difference between Reiki and Meditation. Meditation is a mind based practice whereas Reiki is energy based and doesn't necessarily include the mind and its activities. The outcomes can be very similar and the way I talk about it probably sounds quite similar as my interest often combines the two.
