Reiki Shares in the Southend-on-Sea area

Reiki shares are an opportunity to come along and give and receive Reiki healing in the company of fellow practitioners. The shares are open to anyone who has been trained in Reiki, irrespective of level or system, and usually last for 2 hours.

There is no charge for attending the Reiki shares. Each session will be held at a different venue (usually at a participant's house) and the host supports the process by supplying teas, coffee and biscuits. If you are unable to host a share, then a small donation (suggested £2) towards the cost of refreshments would be appreciated. For details on the location, date and time of each share, please visit http://www.markbarwell.co.uk/workshops_reikishares.asp

There are two types of share currently being offered:

Japanese style (Usui Reiki Ryoho)

These sessions offer the chance to explore the use of Reiki energy through traditional meditations, techniques of working with energy, and various other exercises. There will also be the opportunity to share Reiki using an intuitive, non-structured approach.

Western style (Usui Shiki Ryoho)

These sessions focus on the practice of Reiki. You will have the opportunity to give and receive Reiki healing in small groups as well as all together.

A bit about me and my work
Now that we've got the admin stuff out of the way, I suppose I should tell you a bit about myself so you have a better idea of where I'm coming from. My spiritual path started when I was at University and becoming increasingly disillusioned by the direction my life was taking. So I turned on, tuned in and dropped out, leaning my studies behind and embarking on a journey of discovery that would take me from the profound guidance of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and The Celestine Prophecy to some deeply introspective musings on my soul's purpose and nature!

It was around this time (13 years ago) that I began to explore shamanism and this has been the bedrock of my practice ever since, blending my love of nature and its energies with a practical sensibility. 5 years ago I furthered my knowledge by studying for a Diploma of Classical and Cross-Cultural Shamanic Studies with Ross Heaven and the Four Gates Foundation and I am a registered practitioner with them as a result. I offer shamanic healing sessions as well as courses in shamanic development, spirit exploration and practical craft-work such as making shamanic frame drums.

In 2003 I received several synchronous messages that led me to studying Reiki, a form of energy healing that originated in Japan, first through the first degree of the system of Tera Mai, then to traditional Western Usui (Usui Shiki Ryoho) and also to the Japanese style of Usui Reiki Ryoho which closely replicates and honours the teachings of the founder. I am a Master/teacher in these two "traditional" styles and am pleased to offer treatments and classes as well as development sessions to explore the energies and practices of this wonderful healing system.

At the moment I am continuing my journey into the field of Eastern medicine and energy work, studying for a 3-year Shiatsu Practitioner's Course with the Shiatsu College London so I expect I will be blogging about related subjects in due course! I will also be writing specifically about the aspects of my life that relate to faith and spirituality in future posts so keep an eye out for those - I am always happy to engage in discussions about such subjects and I hope that you will take the time to engage with me in this.

There's so much more to everyone than a simple "bio" and I'm the same - if you want to find out more about myself or my work, please visit my website: www.MarkBarwell.co.uk or why not get in touch, make contact, share your views, discuss, laugh, love, and breathe into life with me!
