               NEXT HEALING CIRCLE               
You are welcome to attend the next Healing Circle on Wednesday, 
SEPTEMBER 16, 2015. 
It is from 6-9 pm. 
And will be held at Asbury Tower
1701 Ocean Ave. Apt. 23 H in Asbury Park


PLEASE RSVP. Since the space is limited, I will need to know if you are coming. You can do this by e-mail [[email protected]] , phone 732-284-9990, or text.

If I cannot accommodate everyone who wants to come on the date announced, I will offer a second date to those who call.

This is an opportunity to gather with other practitioners and share what is going on, ask questions, and receive support. It is also a time for both meditation and receiving Reiju and, of course, this is all followed by an exchange of Reiki. 
Hope to see you there.

Click on the link below for directions and give me a call if you are having any problems.

There is a parking lot used by surfers and fisherman as well as others, opposite the front entrance of Asbury Tower, to the left of the boardwalk, which you can use FREE. 

There are also parking spaces all around the building 
which have parking meters.  

Also a block down any side street, there is open parking. 

It is a couple of blocks north of 404  5th Ave.  where we use to have it and you can easily see the tall building from there. 

 Feel free to call me if you are having any trouble.  

The Sunset Ave. Bridge is also closed for repairs to add to the challenge -  but detour signs are clearly marked. 

Just touch the #1 when you come into the main entrance and the security guard will let you in. Take elevator to 23rd floor.

5 Mindfulness Lessons from our Animals

 
Sometimes when looking at my dog, I notice how mindfulness appears to come so naturally to her. She doesn't carry the weight of the world on her shoulders (OK, she's a dog-of course she doesn't!). But we can learn a thing or two from these mindfulness masters, our favorite cats and dogs.

Over the years, in my animal Reiki work with animals and also after spending so much time with my own animals, it has occurred to me that important examples in mindfulness exist right before my eyes, every single day. My animals live in this special mindful space we humans are always trying to reach (but rarely get there). It's so hard to "be mindful" when that same mind is filled with worries for the day, responsibilities for loved ones, tasks to accomplish and so on.

So whenever I start to feel overwhelmed (and therefore less mindful), I think about these lessons in mindfulness we can all learn from our animals:                                             (Kathleen Prasad)

New Book - The Inner Heart of Reiki - 
 Rediscovering Your True Self
by Frans Stiene
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Frans has a book out, The Inner Heart of Reiki - Rediscovering Your True Self, 
 which will be out in the Fall, 2015


Below are some endorsements for his book:


"This is a must read for all students of the system of Reiki. Frans, through his research and practice has peeled away the myths about the system of Reiki and gives us a clear understanding of the Reiki Journey. He also shows how meditation practice is a fundamental part of the system. This book is just what the Reiki world needs, written by someone who walks his talk."- Helen Galpin co-founder British School of Meditation

"Frans Stiene is one of the world's premier Reiki teachers and this book is a window into one of his amazing classes! One of Frans' special gifts is to make extremely profound spiritual truths easily accessible. This book will awaken readers to the deeper possibilities of their Reiki practice and offer techniques to help them get there. A must-read for anyone interested in Reiki practice! "
- Kathleen Prasad, Founder, Animal Reiki Source and President, Shelter Animal Reiki Association, and author of Reiki for Dogs

"Frans Stiene has done us a huge favor by revealing the actual context of Reiki in his book The Inner Heart of Reiki - Rediscovering Your True Self as a Way of Self-Cultivation which is primarily focused on refinement of self that happens to include a method of helping and healing others that is a secondary feature of The Way."- Dr Roger Jahnke, OMD
Founder/Director of the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi (IIQTC) Author The Healer Within and The Healing Promise of Qi

"I am a Tendai monk. The founder of Tendai Sect, Denkyo Daishi Saicho, stressed Doshin - Heart for the way, as of most importance. In Denjyutsu Isshin Kaimon, Kojo (Tendai monk 779-858) quotes Saicho's famous words "There is livelihood in Doshin, there is Doshin in livelihood."I had the opportunity to spend a week with Frans Stiene upon his visit to Japan, when I had the honor of guiding him through Buddhist practices. I was thoroughly impressed with Frans' Doshin and was struck with awe. In high regards to Frans Stiene's Doshin, I have presented him with the Kesa - monk's stole - which I received upon initiation to priesthood. Kesa is the soul of a priest. Having witnessed his Doshin and soul, both in person and through The Inner Heart of Reiki - Rediscovering Your True Self, I look forward to Frans' further endeavors. Reiki is not merely a "technique," but has a vital role in guiding one to reach "perfection as a human being." The idea contained in the precepts, "just for today, do not anger, do not worry..." also is reflected in One Day, One Life by my teacher, Sakai Yusai Dai Ajari.If you want to know whether a teacher is a true Reiki teacher or not, all you have to do is to ask him what the true self is. Without the trustworthy insight of the true self, nobody can insist he is a true disciple of Mikao Usui. This book testifies that the author is one of the true Reiki teachers."- Takeda Hakusai Ajari
