The Reiki Centre (Elaine Hamilton Grundy)

Becoming aware of the narrative running your life is a critical step in being able to see your true nature. We often overlook the veil of thoughts separating us from life. Excerpt Webinar Reiki A Path to Freedom, a companion video series to Elaine's book, Reiki - A Path to Freedom. https://online.reiki-centre.com/courses/reiki-path-to-freedom

Talking about the fundamentals of this channel and my philosophy around Reiki and how we use this energy to bring us into better alignment with our true selves. Looking for a Reiki community?

Our January Reiki Reiju begins with a discussion around a superb Eckhart Tolle short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sLVgZOXh7Yg Basically sums up our entire spiritual quest, and why staying present is the only thing we need to focus on, the rest will take care of itself. In the meditation we gently guide our inquiry to observe our thoughts, where are we being pulled? What is our own Ego's weapon of choice? To join the Reiju live: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

May 2024 Reiki Reiju gathering, we combine the 'Leaves on a stream' therapeutic meditation with our Reiki healing to allow us to explore the movement of thought. Often when we face a thought storm or repetitive thought patterns we try to distract or run away from it. Turning to face the storm has an impact of slowing it down and taking the power away from the thoughts and back into our hands. Isolating each thought and slowing it down can very quickly calm us down and allow us to see that thoughts themselves do not hold power.

September's Reiju gathering we discuss how often to do a Reiki attunement as compared with self-healing. The differences and why it is important to listen to your own body and go at your own pace.

I often refer to Elaine Yang as 'the reluctant Reiki teacher', she completed her Reiki teacher training convinced she wasn't going to teach but Reiki and the universe had other ideas! In this lovely interview we explore the letting go of expectations, planning and ideas of what you can and can't do, and the embracing of not knowing and allowing the universe to show you possibilities you would have never thought of yourself. As well as Reiki classes and healing sessions, Elaine also makes beautiful and powerful healing crystal bracelets and sound healing sessions, to contact her visit: https://www.reiki-glow.com/

Our November monthly Reiki gathering - we discuss the process of gathering beliefs or philosophies to maintain a sense of order or control - but as we drop in, we see life itself has its own momentum and flow and if we can surrender into it, we feel a sense of wholeness and peace.

Not your typical intro to Reiki, I do go off tangent to talk about belief systems and the deeper alignment that needs to happen for us to be truly free from our angst and suffering. Working with Reiki is simply the releasing of blocks and old resistance to reveal your natural path, flow and person you are. It is not magical or an outside energy, it is a relaxation into your true nature as universal life force. I also discuss the self-attunement and the link to the short self attunement video is here: https://youtu.be/-x-L9oC2NH4?si=c_qeQeSA42X2iY0w To join a Reiki reiju live please register here: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

A series of questions and a general intro to Reiki: What is Reiki? How does Reiki impact my emotional state? Is Reiki a belief system? Do people ever reach a perfect balance and never have to Reiki themselves again? Why do I have to do it, can’t you Reiki for me? How do I know its not the placebo effect? How do I know I am progressing with Reiki? Do I need to heal others if I have Reiki? How do I know this is not a scam? I discuss the apple experiment - link here: https://www.reiki-centre.com/post/reiki-experiments-apples Link to Reiki consumer study 2020: https://www.reiki-centre.com/2020-reiki-survey

This discussion focuses on common issues for empathic people who tend to take too much (misplaced) responsibility in trying to fix a relationship. Personal responsibility also means being honest about the reality of being in a toxic or imbalanced relationship, and remembering to take care of your own relationship with yourself. Visit https://www.Reiki-centre.com

I often come across people who think Reiki is a complementary therapy where you have to go to a therapist or practitioner to get a Reiki treatment. This could not be further from the truth, Reiki is a remarkable self-help tool to help you to manage your own stress, mental health, wellbeing, and anxiety. Learn more about how this occurs and the ease of doing it yourself!

Energy hooks may be remnants of spirit energy, but they can also be relationship threads, impact of events of trauma, anything that energetically feels like a leak or discomfort in our energy system. This simple meditation helps us to become aware of any hooks, and to gently dissolve them. https://www.reiki-centre.com

As empaths and energy healers we need to watch for the ego feeling good about helping, to the point of people pleasing. Short term it may feel good, but long term it is draining for you and stunts the people you love and are trying to help.

We often come to Reiki to feel better, we expect Reiki to give us more peace, healing, happiness. But often as we deepen and open we hit the shadow work. Years of suppressed emotions, trauma, stuck energies. Our conditioned response is to distract, suppress, medicate, run but that only keeps things as they are. In this episode we explore diving right in and what that may look like, become familiar and face difficult emotions to allow their release. Elaine Hamilton Grundy, Author of Reiki - A Path to Freedom https://www.Reiki-centre.com

When we don't take time to discipline and control our thinking, it becomes more and more unruly and we end up being controlled by our thinking pulling and pushing us into the past and future. Mindfulness is the method of practice and training that ultimately leads us to living in the present moment more fully and consciously. This also leads to more peace, energy, capacity and resilience to face any challenges that may come up instead of worrying.

February Reiki reiju gathering we discuss the energy of thought, how being curious and investigating the mechanics behind thinking can help us create more spaciousness. Includes a Reiki attunement and healing meditation. To join the Reiju live: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

A very peaceful wave of energy, reminding us that our contribution is simple, just being open and present, when we take care of our own inner peace we ripple it out. Taken from the Container meditations 9/2/22

The idea that Reiki is like sending unconditional love is not necessarily accurate. Sending someone Reiki healing is an active and energetically shifting exchange that should always be done with consent. https://www.reiki-centre.com

A bit of a ramble on my favourite topic, waking up! I mention Jed McKenna: Spiritual Enlightenment, the damnedest thing. And also Angelo Dilullo - his YouTube channel is great. To connect with me: https://www.reiki-centre.com

Our December Reiki Reiju begins with a discussion around what I tend to focus on with Reiki, getting underneath the thinking mind to that which is simply being. The Chakra meditation that follows encourages you to just be and notice rather than heal, balance, fix, or change anything.

In our Feb 2025 Reiki gathering we discuss what we do with our minds, our thoughts depending on what we are trying to achieve - is it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual healing? This determines how we can use our mind and our thoughts to enhance and amplify the healing. Meditation timestamp: 13:21mins Looking for a Reiki community?

Part of the human condition is low self-esteem and worthiness, it seems to affect all of us in different ways. Instead of trying to fix or make yourself feel "good enough", focus on the fact that we are all enough, simply for being alive. Get back in contact with your inner curiosity and joy, and the conditioning will carry less weight and hold you back less. Elaine Hamilton https://www.reiki-centre.com

A lovely Reiki meditation connecting with the underlying presence and consciousness of our being that is always enjoying, non-judging, giving us total free choice to be whoever we want to be. Taken from the community container meditation 1 June 2022.

There are many layers to suffering, some pain is unavoidable and part of life's journey. But much of our suffering is self-induced. This message is simple but a life's work to see it and accept it, but only through acceptance can we let it go and find lasting inner peace.

A guided intentional healing and attunement to Reiki suitable for complete beginners and Reiki users. Experience Reiki healing without the use of hand positions, a beautiful guided healing meditation simply using your power of intention.

An exploration of chronic pain, often prolonged and unexpressed stress and trauma can create a compression of emotion in the body that results in pain or causes the body to start inflaming. Looking under the thoughts to the pure sensations can help to uncover and release old emotional blocks.

Often we think we need to practice a certain way of life, follow certain structures, do certain things in order for things to change or improve. It is common to think that Reiki only works if you do it a particular way, but this is not something you can contain. Reiki is universal life force and there is no particular way of living required. Elaine Hamilton, author of Reiki - A Path to Freedom https://www.reiki-centre.com

In July's Reiki reiju gathering we have a few questions around what Reiki is, is it a positive force or energy? And if some people have it naturally how do they use it more effectively? We also have a guided attunement and Reiki healing meditation to check it out for ourselves.

Excerpt from September 2023 Reiki Reiju, we discuss the 9/9 completion portal and the in between space of one thing ending and another thing beginning. Holding curiosity and openness to see what is available and potential.

Often we hide our true needs under story, complaining, explaining, trauma dumping. When what we, or others really want is love, acceptance, and being heard. In this meditation we explore the sensation of love and how it unfolds for us through the body. This can be a lovely meditation to connect with Reiki as love.

In the beginning our Reiki journey feels very worthwhile, lots of things change and we see real and significant shifts that make our lives better. But sooner or later we get down to the real juicy, challenging layers of our onion layers - the core beliefs that may require some really difficult actions. This is where we need to use Reiki for courage, resilience and strength and do the inner work, make the changes, face the shadow - our guilt, shame, sense of worth and belonging in this world. Take up space, put in boundaries, say no, reclaim our life. Reiki can't do that, we have to.

In this chitchat we explore the co-creative process of Universal life force, when we let go of the mind's insistence on 'fitting in' and the drive towards society's goals, what are we left with? Authenticity, freedom, the curiosity in finding breadcrumbs and the unfolding of becoming more and more comfortable in ourselves and expressing just that.

Have you even deeply pondered the amount of time and energy we place on the imagined future and how much extra suffering, inner bullying and stress this causes? What would it be like to bring all that wasted energy into the present moment? More on the Fetters: https://www.simplytheseen.com/

Based on a question I received we discuss what Reiki is and encourage our own experimentation and validation, what works for you? What happens in your own experience when you give Reiki through a bad mood? Also discussed is the difference between Reiki energy and our own personal energy.

Often its our assumptions about things rather than the thing itself that makes contentment and enoughness always out of our reach. Getting clear on what terms mean to you can be half the battle when searching for this elusive "inner peace" stuff. Asking AI to give me an image of inner peace says it all - how is this image even reality, achievable, normal? Cut yourself a break and just go for deep acceptance.

A discussion on the difference between Reiki and Meditation. Meditation is a mind based practice whereas Reiki is energy based and doesn't necessarily include the mind and its activities. The outcomes can be very similar and the way I talk about it probably sounds quite similar as my interest often combines the two.

Practice this breath awareness meditation for stilling the mind, becoming more curious and grounded and bringing you back into your inner sense of peace and calm.

Our March gathering discussion focused on why mindfulness is such an important skill in thought training. To bring us into the present moment, our foundation and out of the imagination, drama and day dream of mind. To join us monthly on zoom: https://www.reiki-centre.com/monthly

You can't search for something if there's not a reference point and the reference point is the truth of your identity." Wow!

Low mood is a natural processing, the ups and downs of emotions and the energy moving through your physical, mental and emotional bodies is natural and normal. The Guest House "This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, Some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all ! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, Who violently sweep your house Empty of its furniture, Still, treat each guest honourably. He may be clearing you out For some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, Meet them at the door laughing, And invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, Because each has been set As a guide from beyond." - Rumi Looking for a Reiki community?

This is an excerpt from our June 2023 monthly Reiki reiju gathering. We face transitions all through our life - small ones such as moving into sleep every night, big ones such as changes in life stages, loss, shifts in life circumstances. Our minds become anxious around the unknown but becoming familiar with uncertainty and the space in-between one life stage and the other can be a real superpower.

I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost ... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes me forever to find a way out. I walk down the same street.

I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in ... it's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.

A beautiful meditation connecting us to Reiki and over 100 years of wisdom and knowledge. How does Reiki express through you?

There are many ways to wake up to the truth of what you are, and many different paths. Each teacher has their own experience but a common pathway is mindfulness and meditation, and this is why its such a popular pathway. Elaine Hamilton, https://www.Reiki-Centre.com

Part 2 of people pleasing! We discuss the benefits as a people pleaser, getting people to like you, validate and appreciate you. But what happens when it becomes chronic and a burden? Learning boundaries starts by giving yourself everything you are seeking from others, when you are able to provide for your own emotional needs, you will naturally set healthy boundaries.

Why does our Reiki practice fall away often when life gets busy? Why is it so difficult to pull our attention back to the present moment? How do I stop letting busy activities and life's demands get the better of me? Realising the mechanics of thoughts is much more important than the content of thought, this breakthrough will free you from the heaviness of thinking and the belief you have to keep pushing and pulling on thoughts. Online Reiki gathering August 2024.

Who knew parenting could be this hard? This episodes looks at parenting back to basics - creating nurturing, loving, non-judgemental environments for our children to grow into individuals. The aim is not to create little mini-me's.

This is in response to a question from a few years ago but still relevant today. I answer a question around my own preference for Usui Reiki, why have I not explored other lineages, how do you find the right lineage or style for you? A few tips and thoughts to help you navigate all the different Reiki styles and lineages!

Our April Reiki gathering discussion focused on "it is what it is" and the discussion of the mythology of "be it to my Highest Good". Often the expectation that if I learn my lessons I can make unpleasant things go away, and then resisting those challenging or unwanted events - this brings anxiety and suffering.

You know the most about you, and an important part of the spiritual journey is coming into your own self-empowerment and giving yourself permission to find your own path and define what success means to you.

Often in the wellness and spiritual growth rhetoric is the idea that we can Reiki ourselves into a state where nothing bad ever happens to us. This is Unicorn thinking. Reiki brings balance and acceptance into our lives and helps us connect with our inner essence, that which is never disturbed by anything either good or bad.

Often when Reiki teachers use the term "universal life force" it may give the impression of a higher power or god or source in some religious context. Reiki is not religious, nor does it need any religious belief to practice. It is more like the flow of energy you receive from walking in the forest or by the seaside. htpps://www.reiki-centre.com

We live in challenging times and if you are empathic on a global level, you will be feeling these energetic pressures more than most. How can you best navigate and contribute during these times?

When we try to attract and manifest, where are we coming from? The 'grabby' energy of Ego, or the aligned insight and spontaneity of universal flow?

Here it is! This has been requested by several of you and is a guided self-healing with prompts and reminders and music - hope its useful! You don't have to do an hour to get the benefits of Reiki, even 15 minutes a day will give you huge benefits. But much like meditation, the longer you do it, the deeper you can go, especially if you have a very active mind and are always pushing yourself to keep busy. Stopping for an entire hour can reap enormous rewards! Try it and let me know what you think.

This is taken from a group meditation we did in October 2020. It is a lovely guided visualisation which evokes the energy of healing, releasing old baggage, and renewal and collection of new resources for the ongoing journey. Especially powerful for releasing difficult or 'sticky' relationships.
