Your Guided Meditation

For anyone I haven’t spoken to yet, the RaLuna Dreams® shop will be closing late Feb, with the meditation classes moving to my friends place (3mins drive form the shop)

RaLuna Dreams® is not closing –we are just restructuring! It has become obvious that with changes to both John’s health & the economy that we are best to alter our direction at this stage.

Our various websites will be updated as soon as the shop is shut and the paperwork completed. Our phone number will remain the same. Our giftlines will be changing –or in the case of the incense-expanding! Readings, Healings and Meditations will continue.

Obviously ALL our current stock is 40% off (for many items this will bring them just below cost). ALL our fittings are available for purchase. If there is anything you want it may be advisable for you to grab it before someone else does I really would like everything tied up as soon as possible so I can get started on the new challenges

Hope to catch up with you soon,

Wishing Everybody (that means YOU too) a Very Merry Christmas Time

G’day & Welcome

Congratulations Glenn on taking your first meditation class last Wednesday.

After much prodding on the part of both myself and Glenn’s Usui Reiki students, Glenn rose to the occassion and took his first (and very successful) meditation.

No less than 8 of us gathered with Glenn to witness and participate in this very special and sacred occassion. Our meditation involved being guided through the ocean depths and spending a very healing time with our guides. All of us were astonished at how deep our experience on the night was.

Glenn has a very calming voice and we found ourselves easily following his visualisations. For some of those gathered, it was their first time experiencing meditation with a male teacher. I was very curious to hear how Glenn’s energy would be recieved by these strong ‘Goddess” energies, especially as his debut coincided with a stunning Full Moon.

I personally think that it was his balance to these energies that assisted us in reaching such a deep state of relaxation. The reaction of those present was indeed very positive with an expectation that we would again experience Glenn’s guidance at a future date.

Congratulations again Glenn on your resounding success. I wish you all the best with this new direction in your journey.

much love & light,

kerri-raluna

p.s. Glenn will be holding one of his Reiki gatherings this Sunday for his off-line students. If you are in the area you are welcome to pop by and visit RaLuna Dreams.

p.p.s Elaine is holding one of her rare teachings on Chinese Numerlogy this Saturday. For those of us who have experienced the accuracy of this very ancient art the chance to be a part of this learning is very special

   Todays Blog is about choosing the Meditation class that is right for you.  It is also a little guide to the differences that you will find in these classes.

   I have tried various classes whilst on my personal journey and have found that going to a class once a week as well as meditating at home can be very beneficial. The BIG question is…Which is the right class for me ?  I would suggest trying a few classes and find a class and teacher that you feel comfortable with.

   You will find beginner classes, intermediate class and advanced classes that you can participate in. As well as this, you will find that different teachers will have different methods of conducting a class. Some will guide you all the way through the meditation which can be very helpful when you first start out. There are classes where a meditation cd is put on and you follow that. Then there are teachers who will guide you into the meditative state, leave you to yourself and then guide you out. Then there are more advanced classes where you sit and meditate without guidance or music. I have tried all of these over last 3 years and I still enjoy a good beginner or intermediate class. Having said that though the energies are different in all classes and they all have something to offer.

   Another thing you will find is a difference in the themes that teachers will use during their meditations. They may talk of fairy folk, crystal caves and beautiful natural settings.

   You may meet Angels, Spirit guides and energy beings.

   You may visit past life experiences and get to look deep into yourself.

   You may find yourself discovering sacred geometry, fly through the universe or even meet aliens while sending and receiving love from the universe.

   The ultimate goal here is to reach total stillness of the mind. To let go of negative thought and all that holds you back. Try to reach a state where you are truly open to receive the messages and information you need from your higher self, spirit guides, angels and the universe.

   This is why I say to you “ Find a class that you feel comfortable with”.

   Don’t just settle somewhere if it doesn’t feel right.  Try different classes of all types and most importantly Please don’t let one bad experience turn you off your meditation journey “!

   To finish off…Follow up your meditation class with meditation at how whenever you get the chance. Meditation is very important, not only spiritually but also physically.

   You will see the effects immediately.

   You will become more relaxed, your mind will be clearer and it will help you to deal with the stresses of every day life.

Namaste

Glenn

G’day and Welcome 

Todays blog is a bit of a helpful guide to those who are interested in studying Reiki. There are a lot of contradictory teachings and practices out there and I would like to help students make an informed decision before jumping in.

First of all, from a teachers perspective, I understand that all Reiki Masters/Teachers have different methods of teaching and we may not all agree on each others methods but that’s OK. We are all entitled to our own views and opinions and what may work for some may work for others. After all, even us Masters still have something to learn and we would be crazy if we thought we didn’t. And this leads me to my point here.

Everyday, new ideas and methods of attunement and practice are put before us. More often than not however these ideas are shunned and tossed to the side as rubbish. A few Reiki masters will not even humour these ideas or even answer questions as their Masters did not teach them that and so they refuse to look outside of their box. I feel that we need to study these ideas before throwing them out. Consider their relevance in this modern world and whether or not they will work for us and our students. I would like to see a more open minded approach taken so that if a student asks a question we can answer with true knowledge and understanding.

Now, from a Students perspective, I would like to encourage you as a prospective Reiki student to take a good look around at all your options before you choose a Teacher. Ask heaps of questions and try and get a sense of this persons teaching method. Then take a little time to decide if this Teacher is the one for you.

Normally by the time you have decided that you want to do Reiki the only thing left is who you want to teach you. I also want you to remember (This is very important !) that if you for example have completed your Reiki 1 and for some reason, totally up to you, feel that you want to continue learning  but would like another Teacher, please feel free to do so. You are in no way obligated to this person and do not let any Master make you feel guilty for your choice.

This path is yours and yours alone and you have every right to travel this path your own way. As a Reiki Master they should understand this and accept your decision with no worries. Now I am not saying that you will encounter this situation for sure, and I hope you never do, but I would like you to be prepared and Informed.

I have personally studied with different Masters and I felt that this was right for me. You may find that you would like to stay with the one Master for all your study and this is good too. But please make sure you choose the path that is right for you.

I would also like you to be aware of the Reiki politics you may encounter. There a lot of bitter debates between some masters regarding attunement methods and subject matter for teaching. I urge you though to use your intuition and trust it. Your intuition is a very important tool and will serve you well in Reiki.

There are also quite a few false beliefs and Myths surrounding Reiki that are quite numerous to mention in a blog but if you ask plenty of questions and trust you intuition the shonky ones will soon show their colours.

So, to finish off…

All Reiki Masters will have their own method of teaching and may or may not include subject matter that has nothing to do with Reiki and if that works for them and their students then that is OK. But if you feel that it isn’t right for you and you want to finish studying with a different Master then trust your intuition and do so.

Remember, This is your Journey !.

Namaste

A Moving Meditation is the art of “switching off” whilst moving, eg Tai Chi.

Thought you might like to see Glenn the Aussie’s definition of Moving Meditation.

Good onya Glenn!

G’day and Welcome back

Why Meditation for YOU?

Meditation is often prescribed for people leading Stressful Lives. Why?

Meditation is well known for calming active minds -it’s of great benefit to we insomniacs!

Meditation is NOT just about reaching an altered state of mind.

Meditation is definately NOT about “Winning the Race to Self-realisation”

Meditation Is About YOUR Individual Journey.

Meditation is about YOU reaching YOUR highest Potential.

Every Emotion and Action that You take in Your Life stems from Your Thoughts. Meditation is a way of practicing YOUR Self-Control.

Learning to control Your Thoughts is Key to living Your Life.

G’Day and Welcome 

I am writing this Blog today to try and provide some insight and help to other men beginning their Spiritual journey and give some light to a few problems they may face.

My journey has been an amazing one, as will yours, and I have met many people along the way who have shown me love, friendship and given me guidance that has helped me get to this point.

I was lucky enough to meet people straight away who made me feel welcome and who have helped me grow and develop spiritually *Big Hugs Ann and Kerri*.

But

I have also encountered a few people who not only made me feel unwelcomed but also left me wondering whether I was doing the right thing purely because I am a man.

Apparently there is no place for us men amongst the Goddesses and our male energy is unwanted. Unfortunately for them they do not realize that we need both male and female energies to give us balance.

I have heard comments from ladies at meditation classes say that they would not of attended if they knew men were going to be there, and I have been made to think that it was my “weird male energy” that was turning their female attendees away.

Not once however have I been told that I was at a female only meditation class nor was it advertised that way. This underlying discrimination is there and all the while they spin the illusion of being completely loving people who accept all with open arms.

This is an attitude that is all too common and is also something that worries me greatly. Getting started on your spiritual journey is hard enough and often a time of self discovery, emotional upheaval and all these feelings are thrown to the surface. In this time we need to feel we can talk to someone.

We need to talk to people who understand us, people who are travelling this road with us.

What we don’t need is people who make us feel we don’t belong because we are men. Just one of these experiences in this very important time in life is enough to end that persons journey and that not only hurts them but hurts us as well. We all have childhood and adult conditioning as well as pressures put upon us both men and women and the last thing we need is an encounter like that at this time.

I find that this attitude goes against everything that I have learnt and everything that these people claim to be about. I believe that it is our duty as Teachers, Readers, Healers and Guides to help and guide with love those on this very important life-changing journey without discriminating against them.

I don’t hate these people and I wish no ill will toward them as they are products of those who taught them. I do wish them the ability to take a look outside of what the have been taught and to try and see things from a different perspective.

Be daring and ask questions.

Seek your own truth and give love.

Through these encounters I have stayed on my path and have tried different teachers and classes when I felt that things were not right. I asked questions I needed to ask. I hung in there and now have the beautiful friends and teachers anyone could ask for. They have made me feel more than welcome and I feel totally comfortable around them. Through their guidance and encouragement they have helped me in my journey to become a Reiki Master/Teacher and they have inspired me to create the music used in meditation. I love them all dearly and thank them for their understanding and guidance.

I want all of you reading this to know that we need to be able to share our experience and discoveries, both men and women so that we can learn and grow together.

I encourage you guys out there thinking of trying a meditation class for example to jump in and give it a try, it will really change your life.

If you feel that the one you have gone to is not right for you try another. You will find a place that is.

Namaste

Glenn
