Come and Learn Reiki. Get attuned to this powerful healing energy and learn all you need to know to use the energy on yourself and other people. What is Usui Reiki? Usui Reiki is named after Dr. Mikao Usui who discovered it in Japan in the 1920s. He brought this healing modality to the modern world after experiencing his enlightenment and initiation to Reiki. Reiki means – Universal Life Force Energy. Shaz Cini is a Reiki Master Teacher. Classes are held over a 2-day weekend for a maximum of 10 people. Where – South Penrith. What to expect? You will learn Usui Reiki. I believe that it is important to honour and respect the work of Dr. Mikao Usui. Although we do allow it to grow and evolve with the times. Over the weekend you are attuned to the level you are scheduled for. Besides creating a safe environment for you, we demonstrate how to give energy healing to each other. You practice plenty of hands-on activities and are invited to ask lots of questions. The weekend is tailored to the specific needs of the students in attendance. Therefore, the collective energy will direct each day. Accordingly, it becomes free-flowing and unstructured as defined by the group dynamics. To illustrate that when you work with energy you need to be flexible and free. Reiki also opens you up to higher levels of healing and understanding at deeper levels of consciousness. Afterwards, you are offered ongoing support, continued connection, and education as one of their Reiki initiates. The next Reiki Workshop is 22nd and 23rd June 2024. $250 Level 1 and 2 each.

Tai Chi is a gentle exercise form where participants move in an upright posture, in a slow and controlled manner. It can be practised standing or sitting. It exercises the entire body, all the joints, muscles and internal organs. It enhances the Qi (氣) or life energy.
