GUIDED MEDITATION

WITH KEITH CHOUINARD ~ Every Other Wednesday Morning 10:00 am - 11:00am

"Reiki Support/Share Groups" The Holistic Center holds space for the learning and sharing of Reiki and feels strongly that the appropriate boundaries are needed within this sort of group structure. Unless pre -invited only Reiki Students of The Holistic Center are allowed access to these groups.

Why is this? It is important that those offering reiki actually have the proper reiki attunements and are actively working to be a clear conduit for the reiki energy to protect themselves and those they are working with/on. It is very important to learn and discern what is Reiki during a treatment and what is not - What you should do and what you should not.

While that may seem simple enough there is at times confusion regarding this. People sometimes read books on Reiki and think due to that they can then offer reiki to others not understanding that they actually need to receive energetic attunements by a properly trained and attuned teacher to the reiki energy.

Also Reiki Attunements offered by "distance" or thru a CD or video are not the same as attunements offered in person by a qualified teacher - There are many things too indepth or of which are not proper to even go into here that person needs to consider within this structure of understanding and learning.

While anyone can learn Reiki - One needs to be willing to allow and do the work involved within as well as gaining the discernment to seperate their ego and personality from the process of what is REIKI.

These groups are currently hosted by The Holistic Centers Director - Keith Chouinard, he is an Usui / Tibetan / Karuna Advanced Reiki Master Teacher working towards licensing with The ICRT (International Center for Reiki Training) Among his many teachers he works with personally are William Rand, Laurelle Shanti Gaia, Michael Arthur Bard. Keith proactively travels to train and learn with Reiki teachers and other empathic teachers worldwide. Keith has been an empath (a person that can see/sense/feel energy fields) all his life and uses this awareness to help guide others to work with their own will power and empowerment.

"Keith facilitates the teaching of Reiki in a manner that allows the student the opportunity of being able to take part in many of the offerings that The Holistic Center has.

Use of the Bio Sensor/Aura Imaging equipment to learn about ones energy fields and chakras helps to gain a better awareness and discernment of what a person is feeling including the connection and clarity of reiki itself.

The Holistic Center has many tools that are incorporated into the training of Reiki to help a person become grounded and prepared for the energetic shifts that occur with Reiki training. Keith works towards facilitating the teaching of Reiki as a "path" for a person as opposed to a modality that one would "pick up and put down" at times.

Reiki is not a religion though it will enhance a persons religion and does not alter a persons free will.

Keith offers Intro to Reiki Classes as a way for the potential student to learn more about what reiki is and how Keith facilitates the teaching so that they can then better understand if this is something they wish to learn and if Keith is the person they wish to study this with.

In consulting with the person Keith is able to as well determine a more personalized course of study for the student in facilitating the teaching of Reiki for them.

Often traditionally in the west Reiki is taught in 1 or 2 day workshops with a group of students. While this is a great way to learn, Keith feels since he has access to many tools from The Holistic Center the one on one training he offers can be a blessing for the student as well as The Holistic Center.

Would you like to explore the possibility of past lives to better understand mysteries in your current lifetime? Many seemingly unexplainable things that are happening to you right now may be traced to past lives. These mysteries can make sense, once you start digging.

Have you ever wondered about questions like these…

Why do I crave Moroccan food?

How can I play the piano so well without ever having lessons?

Why do I feel so close to someone I just met?

What is this obsession that I have with ancient Egypt?

In this workshop, we will explore links to our past lives through exercises, discussions, and a special guided meditation. Wear comfortable clothing, a smile, and an open mind.
