Elaine Hamilton - Exploring Nonduality, Reiki, Meditation and Mindfulness

December gathering we discussed gaining wider perspective, we are so much more aware than simply a jumble of emotions, thoughts and sensations. A meditation to widen and expand perspective. Looking for a Reiki community? I run a monthly free Sunday Reiki healing meditation: https://www.reiki-centre.com/reiki-class/monthly and a weekly members community: https://www.reiki-centre.com/community For t...

In reference to the beautiful interview with Gangaji: https://youtu.be/kmUYR2Higcc?si=EZs5QwwvRuQQPHfX Timestamp 48mins "something that was really being searched for and then accepting that to know that you want that is the proof that it's here you. You can't search for something if there's not a reference point and the reference point is the truth of your identity." Wow! Lets discuss this referen...

I often refer to Elaine Yang as 'the reluctant Reiki teacher', she completed her Reiki teacher training convinced she wasn't going to teach but Reiki and the universe had other ideas! In this lovely interview we explore the letting go of expectations, planning and ideas of what you can and can't do, and the embracing of not knowing and allowing the universe to show you possibilities you would have...

Here it is! This has been requested by several of you and is a guided self-healing with prompts and reminders and music - hope its useful! You don't have to do an hour to get the benefits of Reiki, even 15 minutes a day will give you huge benefits. But much like meditation, the longer you do it, the deeper you can go, especially if you have a very active mind and are always pushing yourself to kee...

A bit of a ramble on my favourite topic, waking up! I mention Jed McKenna: Spiritual Enlightenment, the damnedest thing. And also Angelo Dilullo - his YouTube channel is great. To connect with me: https://www.reiki-centre.com

Our November Reiki reiju gathering we discuss thought storms, trying to resist what our minds are doing, insight, acceptance and closing the gap between what we think should be happening, and what actually is happening. To join the monthly Reiju: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

Pooja has been called a "walking miracle" by doctors after healing herself from paralysis, not once, but twice. I see her as a force of nature, full of energy and curiosity with an incredible ability to absorb and integrate a vast knowledge base. Always such a pleasure to chat and learn as she shares her own incredible healing story and talks about how she is guided to develop her own tool box and...

I often come across people who think Reiki is a complementary therapy where you have to go to a therapist or practitioner to get a Reiki treatment. This could not be further from the truth, Reiki is a remarkable self-help tool to help you to manage your own stress, mental health, wellbeing, and anxiety. Learn more about how this occurs and the ease of doing it yourself! Try this short self-attunem...

Part of the human condition is low self-esteem and worthiness, it seems to affect all of us in different ways. Instead of trying to fix or make yourself feel "good enough", focus on the fact that we are all enough, simply for being alive. Get back in contact with your inner curiosity and joy, and the conditioning will carry less weight and hold you back less. Elaine Hamilton https://www.reiki-cent...

Our Reiki reiju monthly gathering we discuss the empathic tendency to reach out and feel responsible for other peoples' behaviour, actions or thoughts. This is a heavy burden and energy drain that can be shifted through mindfully reclaiming your energy and noticing when you are doing it. Join our monthly gathering: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

In this chitchat we explore the co-creative process of Universal life force, when we let go of the mind's insistence on 'fitting in' and the drive towards society's goals, what are we left with? Authenticity, freedom, the curiosity in finding breadcrumbs and the unfolding of becoming more and more comfortable in ourselves and expressing just that. To contact Hilary Lee for creative workshops: http...

Energy hooks may be remnants of spirit energy, but they can also be relationship threads, impact of events of trauma, anything that energetically feels like a leak or discomfort in our energy system. This simple meditation helps us to become aware of any hooks, and to gently dissolve them. https://www.reiki-centre.com

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! To connect with Yin Ling: https://www.reiki-centre.com/team/jee-yin-ling

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/
