The Reiki Training Centre's Aberdeen Reiki Reunion
was held in the Beach Ballroom, Aberdeen on Sunday 15th
August 2004.
The 15th of August
was the anniversary of Dr. Usui’s
birthday (World Reiki Day) the 4th Reiki Reunion/Scottish and UK Reiki Festival opened
with a special Gassho and Buddhist Dedication Ceremony.
This year the charity
chosen for the proceeds was the Sudan appeal, for
which we raised nearly £350.
We would like to thank everyone who
attended and made this possible, particularly those of you who came from the
furthest reaches of the country! Thanks especially to the workshop
presenters:
Lynne led the Dru
Yoga session.
Dru yoga is an Indian tradition, brought to the UK by
Mansukh Patel, head of the Life Foundation.
Since the weather was sunny and very hot Lynne led a wonderful yoga session on Aberdeen
Beach!
Robert presented a brilliant Energy
Workshop. Trained by the Soke Dai, Robert is
Director of the Reiki Educational Institute. We all had great fun using energy
in interesting ways.
Mark
led a fascinating introductory Workshop on EFT
- Emotional
Freedom Techniques. TFT (Thought Field Therapy) and EFT are the new
buzzwords in psychology, NLP & hypnotherapy circles.
They both use focused
awareness and the stimulation of various acupuncture points to assist us to
easily and quickly let go of any distressing emotions, from fears & phobias
to guilt & trauma.
Zoë
led a
beautiful relaxing meditation on Angels &
Archangels and was offering Angel readings throughout the day.
We hosted a UK Reiki Federation Meeting
so delegates could meet their local area representatives and we were delighted to welcome Mari Stevenson (vice chair) and Robert
Jefford (UKRF Committee) who both came all the way from the South of England
to share the
latest information on National Occupational Standards and Research & Development.
