Mari Hall, the hostess of the Usui 21 Day Retreat
Welcomes you to Week One of the Retreat
August 15, 2010
Greetings!
A few years have passed since we met and I am glad to be with you again. In April I spent a delightful ten days with Mari Hall and some other Reiki friends in Bogota, Colombia, and for me, the outcome of this meeting was the understanding that all that really matters is love and compassion. Once upon having dinner, Mari told us that her daughter had taken part in one of her workshops and afterwards said to her" Now I know how you do it, Mom, you just love them..." During this retreat we would like to generate enough energy so that you can make this possible: to love yourself and the people in your environment, wherever that may be.
Reiki is a wonderful path that begins with the search for oneself. This search is self- centered only in the beginning. It starts with the awareness that we are disconnected from ourselves and from others due to fear and insecurity. At the base of all this seems to rest the deep believe that we are not "right" the way we are, and that we need to change into a better human being before we can love ourselves. And, obviously loving ourselves as we are, with all our shortcomings and all that is hurtful inside our hearts is the first step to being loving and compassionate to others.
