The unique design of this program integrates the Horse as Shaman guiding us to simultaneous awareness of the feminine healing power within and the subtle yet profound energy connection we all have to each other.  
 
"Horses teach us that the greatest power is not "power over" but "power with". 
They help us understand that something greater than us is the Healer. " Andree
 
The profound and innate yin energy of horses help open us to an awareness of the feminine power within ourselves.   This promises to be an incredible journey as we step into the deep awareness of 'the healers path' and we learn to tap into Universal Life Force through the ancient practice of Reiki.  
 
We will begin by learning how to work with ourselves and assist in our our own healing and self maintenance, with an emphasis on personal awareness and extreme self care.  Then through that we are able to create the clear channel to hold the sacred space for others.
 
This Reiki retreat offers a very special experience of the Reiki Healing energy.  It includes 4 personal attunements (different then the standard practice of one attunement), hand positions for Reiki self care, as well as the Reiki treatment protocol.  In addition, we will also learn about the animal energy system, supportive and easy massage strokes, non-verbal awareness and 'Reiki Undo', a moving meditation.  
 
Join us for this very special retreat!

Reiki Workshop/Retreat June 23-28, 2008

 

Reiki for Humans and Animals

In addition to the variety of workshops and spa retreats offered at Epona Ridge, we are including Reiki for those that training in the skills of Reiki on humans and animals.  The certification will be offered beginning this June and will be in combination with the Epona ApproachTM

 

Reiki, which is pronounced as ray-key, is an ancient  natural healing art that can be traced back to  Buddhist  teachings  in 620 BC, it was reintroduced in the mid 1840's by Dr. Usui in Japan to help balance the flow of Chi or Ki, which means 'life force' or 'energy'.  Rei means Universal Spirit unlimited so Reiki is Universal Spirit Life Force Energy. 

The gentle practice of Reiki triggers the bodies natural healing ability and is a wonderful technique for stress reduction and relaxation allowing the individual to tap into the Universal supply of 'life force energy' to improve health and wellbeing. 

Reiki starts with the premise that our 'life force' nourishes our bodies supporting organs and cells in their vital functions.  The life force is also responsive to our thoughts and feelings so the work with the horses is a natural blend with the practice of Reiki and the Law of Attraction which brings our mental awareness to our personal thought system and emotional alignment. 

Horses, like many animals, are far more aware of the energy around them. Horses in particular, being prey animals, are keenly attuned to their energetic boundaries, their layers of connection.  The experiential work facilitated by the horses at Epona Ridge retrains the human body to feel those layers of connection so we can be more aware of the non-verbal  energy between two beings.  This is not only helpful in relationships to horses, but it is invaluable in relationships with humans at home and at work.  We can imporve our sensory  awareness from within ourselves and be more aware of our overall well being. 

The animals seem to naturally help others through energy and touch as well.  Most people have experienced the loving and healing effect dogs or cats have on those who physically touch them.  This ability to feel is a matter of slowing the mind chatter enough to resonate at the heart level of connection and through that you can begin to feel within your body the various areas within theirs.  It is as if they were talking to you out loud. Something is happening in this vibrational connection, this exchange of non-verbal energy is palpable.  Some have said that animals naturally do Reiki and they openly offer their deep healing art to us all the time.  These animals are a blessing in our lives.
