Simply Oils: Wintergreen
with Anastasia Shevchenko
Thursday, August 3, 6-8p
Cost: $10

In our hectic, dynamic, information-overloaded world, it might be hard to digest all the information available about essential oils. Too many options may create a certain degree of frustration which may not only prevent people from living a healthier lifestyle, but paralyze even the best intention.

Don't let this frustration stop you! Start your journey with just one oil.

Whether you are an experienced "oiler" or a just a beginner, this class will present you with in-depth information about one single oil. We will be learning about the oil's origin, its specific characteristics, scientific research data, historical uses, legends and stories connected with the oil, and different ways this oil could be used in every day life.

Every student will receive a handout with recipes and enjoy the beautiful pure aroma of oils during this class. A limited amount of oil also will be available to purchase.

To register, please call the office at 614-486-8323 or click  here.
NOTE:  The Reiki Center uses Young Living essential oils in classes and services.

Spirituality on the Rise 
  
The Pew Research Center noted in a January 2016 survey* that the American public is becoming more spiritual, with a growing number of respondents stating that  
they often feel a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being, as well as a deep sense of wonder about the universe. The study concluded that roughly six-in-ten adults now say they feel a deep sense of spiritual peace and well-being at least once a week, up 7 percentage points since 2007.
 
More than three-quarters of adults say they feel a strong sense of gratitude or thankfulness at least once a week. While religiously affiliated had the highest level of gratitude, large majorities of those belonging to non-Christian faiths and two-thirds of the religious unaffiliated also report regularly feeling a strong sense of gratitude.

While today's social media and news outlets often focus on what is wrong with our world, the study clearly states that individuals still believe in the attainment of peace and well-being,  Perhaps the growing chaos of the world we live in has become the catalyst to finding what we are all looking for - that place of quiet knowing deep inside each of us.

Practitioner Spotlight
Shmuel Merimi

Reiki, Sound Healing, Pranic Healing

Shmuel was born and raised in Israel, served the country in the IDF, has worked as a CEO for the largest restaurant in Israel and later went to law school and worked as an attorney in the commercial field. He has practiced Kabbalah for many years and feels that with his Jewish faith he carries love and understand-ing to all the rivers of spirituality.
 
He came to Reiki and holistic practices due to a family matter that he felt could be handled differently. Once Reiki became a part of him, he realized how much he could do for others, focus on spiritual tools and skills and be of service for those who need him.  Shmuel's intention is to help the person he is with to raise their awareness of the physical and spiritual body to help promote well-being.  
 
In a very sensitive way, he is an instrument that is willing to manifest positive abundance by the use of Reiki, Sound Healing and Pranic Healing.

For sessions with Shmuel, please call the Center at 614-486-8323 or click here.

Reiki 1 Review Class
with Linda Haley
Thursdays, August 24
6:00-9:00p
Cost: $75
 
If you have taken Reiki 1 some time ago and you want to update your skills, or if you just want to go over some of the details of a recent class, this 3-hour class is perfect for you. Class covers all the basics from the Center's beginner's class and includes one booster Attunement to clear blockages and prepare you to receive new energies.

Perhaps you studied Reiki at another school and you want to complete your training at the Center. The Reiki Center is the only center in the area to provide traditional Reiki training in the original format. If you studied under the modern or Western style, you may not realize that much of the training in spiritual development was probably omitted. Many students from other schools take the Reiki Review Class to learn if their training included equivalent information, e.g. an in-depth discussion on how to develop an effective Affirmation, how to identify helpful Guides and why to not connect to others, and how to intuitively find and release blockages in yourself and your client.

Students completing the Review Class may wish to enter the Reiki 2 (Advanced) class with greater confidence in their abilities. Students who have not received equivalent training may wish to register for the Center's Reiki 1 Class to gain deeper knowledge.

Soul Retrieval Workshop: Recovering the Lost Self After Trauma
with Heidi Howes
Saturday, August 19, 6-9p
Cost: $75
 
Most shamanic cultures around the world believe that illness is due to the loss of the soul.
It is believed that whenever we suffer an emotional or physical trauma a piece of our soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. The definition of soul that I am using is soul is our essence, life force, the part of our vitality that keeps us alive and thriving.
In this workshop you will learn to recover and retrieve soul parts for yourself and for your loved ones, calling back to your body and the Earth your most vital essence.
This is the 2nd workshop in the 8-workshop series of The School of the Modern Shaman, Level 1.
 
Prerequisite to the Classes: Intro to Shamanic Journeying (or comparable experience) or previous Power Animal Retrieval.
 
The School of the Modern Shaman Level 1 workshops can now be taken separately!
 
All 8 workshops must be completed for Level 1 certification, but this is not required.  This shamanic work is for personal healing and transformation, and you need not be an aspiring shamanic practitioner to take this class.  You will learn to perform this powerful healing work for yourself and close friends/family.

Each participant will have an opportunity to connect with power animals, other unseen allies, and experience firsthand the magic behind the veil. 

You will also learn to do basic divination and open up to greater experiences with your intuition and personal guides. Shamanic Journeying is a skill most anyone can learn with practice and is a valuable tool for navigating this life with heart.
