Connect with Reiki - Reiki course Testimonials from past students

I came away from Reiki 1 refreshed and keen to continue. Jenny
explained the background to Reiki and taught us the Usui method
sensitively, giving us plenty of time for questions and always
reassuring us. The class was informal and set in a lovely location, a
log cabin overlooking a field - a perfect location. Timing was good;
the second day gave us time to reflect on what we had learnt on Day 1
before continuing. Everything was calm and there was always enough time
for us. Thank you so much. Looking forward to Reiki 2.

Best wishes Jess

Hello Jenny,

Since the course I have even more surety that this is my path. I have been much more aware of the simpler things and so much less of a desire to earn "good" money for a while now, this has certainly been heightened. There was a presentation at the office of the company I work for Mon-Weds - its sales and I really felt, particularly this time, that there is a form of greed - I am struggling to find the right word, its a bit like an orgy of achievement, lots of wine being presented - it was all just too much to witness! It hasn’t meant anything to me since I was a lot younger, I like doing any job well, but I have never been one for league tables etc....! I feel very distant from my colleagues, some of which are very nice people, but we have nothing in common. My manager even took me aside as she thinks I am getting depressed - that gave me a smile, she couldn’t have been more wrong!
. See you soon, and thank you so very much for showing me and for confirming my thoughts that Reiki is ...Reiki - no ownership or rules about the way - just that oh so wonderful feeling and light.

Feedback on my Master/Teacher Course

Location: absolutely superb, it’s been a dream of mine to work in a dedicated therapy room of my own for sometime.

Content: very good, just about the right amount for me, very clear explanation of the different symbols and ceremonies

How it was taught: yes again very good. Jenny you have a lovely, honest way about you. You are very approachable and clear in your teaching.

Room for improvement etc. - I could think of nothing to change!

Lots of love Jules

Hi Jenny

It was so lovely to see you again & spend a wonderful couple of days immersed in Reiki. It's funny, but it makes life so meaningful when in that space, but then I guess it's because that's what I am supposed to be doing with my life. You know when your really on the right track & it feels so natural - a sense of wholeness.

It definitely had a greater effect than the previous two stages, but that's probably because of a sort of 'completion'. I have felt different since then though, more aware & more centred. I also have had some interesting clients who are developing their own psychic energy & yesterday even felt the presence of a mother in the room when working with someone. I'm keen to work with more clients who have a specific disease because I think the results would be very positive.

Maybe I could contact local hospices & see if they're interested.

F eedback for Shinpiden:

Wonderfully delivered as Jenny is able to share rather than just instruct, which enables students to really absorb the intent along with the techniques.

I felt totally immersed & relaxed and so able to fully appreciate the whole course. The higher empowerment's have a deep effect and you really have to be in the right environment for it. Safe & guided I would say.

It feels as if the location is a temple! Time seems to stand still in the cabin & the peace is astounding. I would say Wiltshire is an ideal place as it's easy to get to & has a good energy about it.

As before, Jenny has a calm yet reassuring manner which works well. She is always ready to listen as well as speak and has no need to distort the truth of what Reiki is actually about. An open and honest teacher is a great find!

I cannot really see anything that could actually improve the Master degree A wonderful experience that accompanies a life changing journey.

Thank you for a lovely time..

Lots n lots of love

Hi Jenny,

It's Becky here from your last weeks Reiki course.

I wanted to say thank you for teaching us the Reiki skills. I found it very interesting and moving. I have been with a Transpersonal Psychotherapist on and off for the last 4 years. And in that I time I've learnt more about connecting with my inner self, and learning tools to help me.

So when I did the course on Saturday while at home certain things came up for me, like I felt a strong resistance of not wanting to go back on Sunday. I witnessed it and let it pass, and I happily came back the next day.

Lately I have felt a deep need that I would like to be around spiritual people more often, in order to aid my spiritual journey and development.

When you mentioned about how it is important for you to not cut ties with people that you have just taught, and that it's like a circle of energy that by being together on a regular basis actually benefits us all. I thought that that was a wonderful, giving, loving thing to offer everyone.

As for any improvements to your teaching course, I cannot think of anything. I loved the feel of your energy and your home. I liked the fact that you are open enough to teach us different styles of Reiki.

I loved the energy and passion which you put into making the 'Connect With Reiki' folders for each of us. I felt a lot of thought and feeling went into making them..I think that they are great, and very useful. It shows me what a caring, giving person that I feel you are..

I felt very relaxed and welcome into your home, and I thank you very much for it.....

Like I said I love being around spiritual people, it makes my heart sing..

It was wonderful to meet you and I hope to see you very soon.

Namaste,

Becky

Hi Jenny

Just thought I would drop you a quick line, to let you know how things are going and to pass on my feedback from the weekend.

Firstly, I have to say what a wonderful two days! I hesitate to use the words "life changing" as in many ways it has simply brought my life back into focus, but I feel so differently about many things that it's not an inappropriate phrase. You asked for both positive and negative comments, but I can honestly say that it felt so much like catching up with old friends that I can't think of anything I didn't enjoy - except perhaps travelling home and back in between days 1&2 but I'll know for next time.

I've remembered to self treat every day (sometimes more than once - what a lovely thing to do!) and have felt a strange connection to everything and everyone. I've been guilty in the past of being envious and critical of others, but I have felt so at peace that I'm struggling to see anything but good in people. I'm probably still on a high, but I hope I can maintain at least some level of this serenity I've found.

Life just feels good and I'm happy. It used to take things, people, situations etc. to make me "happy" but I've realised now that happiness and contentment are already IN me, everything else is an added bonus! I've been content to just "be", to listen to the birds and the wind in the trees rather than reaching for the TV remote or surfing the internet for hours.

There's still a small part of me that wonders if it can really be this simple, and I'm reluctant to talk about my Reiki experience with anyone at the moment, but I guess time will tell and I must remember to TRUST!

Please pass this email on to Lynn, Sandra-lee and Emma. I think we all felt an unexpected connection with each other and I'd love them to know how I'm getting on.

Hope to see you soon Jenny, lots of love

Hi Jenny

It was absolutely wonderful to meet you and I feel so grateful and humble about how much you imparted to us.

Thank you SO SO much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us this weekend. I know this has just been a first step and that there is still much to learn. I was pleased to find a course that was out in the countryside, rather than in a city because, for me, this helped to clear my mind and make me more receptive. I enjoyed the fact that everything took place in your wonderful wood cabin looking out on to nature with its calming and conducive atmosphere. The course content itself was a good balance between obtaining information about the Reiki tradition and the opportunity for practice. I feel that all our group also gained a great deal from each other. You were very helpful with any questions we had and generous and thoughtful in your answers. The time seemed to fly by - but it was practical to finish at 4.0 pm on Saturday in order to create some space to absorb the day's experience before returning on Sunday. The whole weekend was, for me, a powerful reminder that there is a peaceful, more centred way of living - something to use not just for oneself but also, when we have opportunities, to pass on to others.

With lots of love,

Katie

Hi Jenny,

Thank-you for a great weekend, I will go so far as saying it was perfect!!!!

The length of the course was just right as I got home at a nice time and could reflect on the weekend.

The location was perfect and your husband is a saint for putting up with us all because it can be intrusive at times.

The cabin was heaven, the birds sang at the right time!

I cant wait to see you on the 19th of July for my 2nd Degree.

I cant wait to meet the cows!!

Love Paula

Dear Jenny,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for a fantastic course (2nd/3rd June). It was an absolutely blissful experience spending time at your beautiful home in such pretty surroundings too.

I have been doing Reiki and have found a fairly local share group which I intend to contact shortly and arrange to attend to make sure I keep my practising going. As you said I am just at the beginning and I want to make sure I get lots of exposure to others who enjoy Reiki.

It was so nice meeting you and the course lived up to everything I expected and hoped for.

All the best,

Theresa Russell

Hi Jenny,

I am so pleased I came along to the share last night, it really helped me to settle.

Funny things are happening : - )

I went down to my car last night and just stopped in my tracks, something made me just come to a standstill, my vision went all out of focus and I had pins and needles all over so I just went with it and it passed.

Getting a lot of headaches but doing self healing is working.

Did a meditation, said my blessings and self healed for half an hour this morning, all before I got out of bed, it was wonderful!

Everything feels different to the touch, washing my hands, splashing water on my face, its amazing, I feel alive!

I know its only been a couple of days but all I think about is Reiki, first thing in the morning, last thing at night and all the time in between, could easily not work again ha ha!

"When the student is ready the teacher will appear" ... and you did.

Quite surprised at how many times in a day I am saying "just for today, do not anger" ... it's really amusing me and making me laugh.

Thank you again, I feel like I have come home.

Love and light.

Mary xx

Dear Jenny

Here is my feedback for Shoden Reiki 1:

Location:

Being welcomed into your home is lovely and sets a great vibe for the weekend. Much better than attending a college site in a town. Really easy to travel to and park the car.

Facilities:

Wonderfully relaxed environment - your cabin was ideally situated for this kind of event. Ron the cat and the cows looking in, the sound of the pond bubbling, trees waving in the wind and a wonderful sense of peace and warmth. The cabin is a great size and whilst there were a couple of extra students for our course, the 'cosiness' was never a problem.

Course content:

The course really comprised everything I wanted at this stage in my journey. I had read a fair bit and also had received Reiki quite a few times and so it was very reassuring and illuminating that you emphasised and explained the variety of approaches, for example, the differences and balance between traditional Japanese and Western techniques and teaching. For me, there was a good balance between theory/teaching and practical sessions where we could all practice in a safe and supportive environment. We were all able to express our most private and personal thoughts and emotions and no questions felt awkward.

Length of course:

Just about right, though I could have gone on and on - I just didn't want to leave! Day 2 was busy and focused, but never rushed.

General remarks.

Jenny, what can I say...the hugest 'thank you' for a quite incredible weekend. As you know, I had a powerful and profound experience when I gave Reiki for the first time. I am thankful that I found you at this time in my life and believe you have helped me take my first tentative steps along a wonderfully exciting and fulfilling path. The Reiki 1 course gave me everything I needed and so much more. Since I got home and back to work, things have felt so altered for me - events that would have stressed me out before are now countered with 'just for today, do not worry' and everything has taken on a deeper hue - its like my vision has come into focus.

I truly feel that in Reiki I have 'come home'.

Blessings Charlotte

Hi Jenny

It's Michelle thanking you for the Reiki 1 (Shoden) weekend and my thoughts.

The location was very calming amidst a green field. What I enjoyed the most was feeling empowered in a wooden cabin which felt close to nature. The cabin was situated in Jenny's rear garden and one could see green fields, as well as the cows. There are local villages and many Bed and Breakfasts' to choose from so it was very easy to get to Jenny's home from the B&B (5mins the most).

I think the location is important as well as the environment because it helped me feel closer to nature and rooted me to mother-earth. I also enjoyed lunch in Jenny's 'cottage kitchen'.

Facilities:

The couch was comfortable and everything else was provided for e.g. stools, chairs, couch-roll, water and relaxing music. I would have preferred to lie on the modern couches because they're more comfortable and provided arm-rest, but nevertheless it wasn't an issue or did not interfere with my treatment (receiving and giving).

Course content:

As far as I can say, I believe Jenny offered us all the appropriate theory, teachings and opportunities to practice, as necessary. I like (actually I loved) Jenny’s teaching method because although it was conducted in an informal style, I remembered (and still do) what Jenny taught. I also like Jenny's option of western and eastern style Reiki. They both have different treatment styles but in reflection, I felt that Japanese was better suited to my nature. I think the pack is also very useful and great too (especially my certificate!!).

Length of course:

The timings throughout the day felt like it wasn't forced and there were no time deadlines. I enjoyed this because everything ran like fluid e.g. each one of us got to experience reiki treatments, meditation, empowerment, lunch and lots of time for discussion, therefore I never felt under pressure to end a treatment quickly, or I couldn't repeat questions. Two days is necessary otherwise the empowerment would have felt rushed and it would not have been embedded in my hara.

General remarks.

Overall I am very happy that I had Reiki 1 empowerments by Jenny because she is a master of this art and knew how to deliver the reiki in the most safest, trustful and happy style. I enjoyed receiving treatments and learning to give too. I also enjoyed listening to Jenny's lineage and how Reiki has given her many tools to serve other people, as well as how Reiki has helped Jenny treat herself, which I believe is pertinent when giving treatments to other people.

Thank you! Look forward to hearing from you. I liked the self-healing techniques which is something that I have been practising every morning. I also set an intention every morning, and before giving Reiki, which is an idea that came from Jenny. Thank-you Jenny, you have helped me to change my life for my higher good -

Love Michelle xx

Hi Jenny

My feedback is as follows:-

Location: Wonderful; peaceful and ideal for the energy work. Perhaps instructions of where you are in the village could be emailed to course attendees or a set of ballons placed outside the cottage.

Facilities: Charming. But a bit of squeeze with 6 would have preferred 4.

Course content: Enjoyable and powerful

Length of course: Just right

General remarks: Well done for offering such a wonderfully, powerful spiritual connection.

Thoroughly enjoyed the two days - the spiritual energy I'm holding is truly amazing - 'it feels good to be home' and I look forward to doing the 2nd degree - Okuden.

Lots of love and light and continue to walk in beauty.

Karenx
