Elaine Hamilton - Exploring Nonduality, Reiki, Meditation and Mindfulness

New historical documents have come to light (via Justin Stein) that suggest Hawayo Takata was telling the truth when she said Usui was headmaster at a Christian School! His CV includes time in the US and Taiwan, much as Takata had described. Hawayo Takata’s account was dismissed as story telling in the late 1990s and early 2000s when evidence researched by Frank Arjava Petter and others indicated...

Keep focus on the Bigger Question: Who am I really? Am I really just this little human character running around the planet - born, work, relationships, grasping, stressing, die? As long as you believe you are only this small character, you will constantly push and strive and compare. We have brainwashed ourselves well. The Inner Critic may well become softer, more loving, less harsh, but good cop,...

The Essence of Reiki is the connection of your own personal life energy with the greater Universal life force. When you learn Reiki, the teacher or learning method is secondary to this primary connection. If you are totally new to Reiki and energy work, it makes sense you would want more guidance and a teacher who can provide support, tips, practice, and reassurance. In this case, a face to face c...

Reiki Education has changed enormously over the years. From the 1980-90s oral tradition of hierarchy, teacher-student, strict levels and pricing, secrecy and rules. To the 2000's new Japanese lineages, historical insights, new tools. To the post covid online expansion and proliferation of schools, courses. As a Reiki teacher this can feel threatening, difficult, like Reiki is being diluted or dest...

A deep dive into the anatomy of deep healing. Often when we trigger we blame the messenger instead of looking at the wound that triggered the reaction in the first place. So the wound remains and we trigger over and over. Lets take a closer look at the wound itself and keep looking until we land on the contract, inner agreement, or decision we made (usually as children) to keep holding onto the bu...

There may be a pathway to follow, and there may not, but there is always an unfolding happening that is absolutely correct for you.

It can be very confusing in the spiritual community when every other person claims to be "spiritually awake" or to have undergone an "awakening", lets look at the definitions and the very different outcomes. Clarity of your own direction of inquiry helps you orient correctly! For nondual enquiry, community and personal sessions: https://www.elaine-hamilton.com Join Reiki events: https://www.reiki-...

Investigating the actual truth of how life unfolds and the reality of our situation can be liberating, and allows us to stop adding further suffering to our lives. Thinking we are in control of making decisions and the outcome of our life is a big source of angst for many of us - time to deep dive into the truth of the matter!

Spiritual growth is never over, it just gets more subtle. The hidden and deeply rooted assumptions we make about the simplest of things can colour so much of how we approach life, how we treat ourselves, and how we constantly chid and criticise ourselves. Remembering that everything unfolds with perfect timing and decisions can release so much personal judgement and mental noise. AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN...

We had some great questions based off the last video, so here's Part 2! Less about Reiki and more about the questions you asked: 1. What helped Ella with regulation? 2. How to cope with executive disfunction (decision making) 3. What is pattern recognition 4. "Coming out" as autistic - who do you tell, and when and how do you go about doing it? 5. Learning to unmask, especially around people you'v...

The enticement of the personal growth world is full of half-baked promises of "be more spiritual, be more awake, be more enlightened and you'll know what to do, you'll be guided, you'll be better, more content, more happy, more more more, oh and by the way, give me money and I'll show you how". This is simply not true. More peaceful? Maybe. More alert, aware, awake? Definitely. But the promise of...

Belief systems of any sort are your mind's way of feeling secure, but ultimately, none of them are true, so hold them lightly. If they are helpful, keep them, but if they cause stress or fear, its time to remind yourself you are simply experiencing life through the eyes and mind of a human form, but it is temporary and illusory. You are not your beliefs, and you do not need beliefs to be safe or s...

Somehow, as humans, we have made transactional - something we give or receive. But love is what we are, its our natural state that is triggered by acts, behaviours, memories - often by others. So self-love is not something we give to ourselves, it is a triggering of the love that already resides in us, the energy is always present.

Hypnosis has been used for 1000s of years and was the method for numbing pain in surgery before the invention of anaesthetics. Self-hypnosis can be an effective tool to help you manage and reduce chronic pain and help your nervous system reset. It takes time to develop these skills, so don't give up on the first few tries!

We live in challenging times, responding to a question about how to regulate our energy as empaths when we notice we are giving it out to situations, people, places in pain and suffering.
