Karuna Reiki Masters

Our first Session begins at 2pm, but where possible please arrive for lunch and registration at 12pm. The course finishes at 5pm on Sunday the 5th. It is possible to extend your stay to spend time in this beautiful and fascinating area. Shambala is situated right on Findhorn Bay, is just 5 minutes walk from the world famous Findhorn Foundation. It is close to the incredibly peaceful Pluscarden Abbey, the only medieval monastery still inhabited by monks, where we can go to listen to the monks chanting.

Karuna is the Jewel in the Crown of Reiki! This will be a unique high energy retreat in an area of incredible natural beauty and pure light, perfect to hold and enfold you throughout the deep healing that Karuna Reiki always brings.

Due to the "gloves off" approach of the Karuna Reiki energy it is recommended that you have already been working with Usui Reiki at Master Level before taking this class. This work initiates healing on deep and fundamental levels and is deeply transformative, so please be prepared for huge changes within yourself.

You will access new and powerful tools to heal yourself, to use in your work with others and for world healing.

Karuna represents a quantum shift in your healing ability.
Expect and be prepared for huge changes within yourself in the months following this course. Elizabeth's Karuna Reiki Retreat is not for the faint hearted!

What is Karuna Reiki®? Karuna Reiki is a healing system, very similar to Usui Reiki. It feels like the same family, like a spiritual cousin, but with a definite, distinctive feel to it. It is a natural extension to Usui Reiki, the next logical progression. One leads naturally and effortlessly into the other.

How do I use it with others? In the same way as you use Usui Reiki.
The symbols can be used alongside the Usui symbols. They can be mixed and matched and interwoven, bringing in whatever is appropriate for each person in each area and situation.

These symbols add a greater depth, focus and potential to your healing work - opening up more possibilities for transformation, particularly where you come across resistance, blocks and reluctance to face painful or deep-seated issues.

You will be taught how to work with the symbols, how to do a stand alone Karuna treatment and how to use the incredibly powerful techniques of chanting & toning in your sessions.

We will be assisted in our work by the unique, wonderful and high vibrational energy of Findhorn which is known throughout the world and also hosts the etheric retreats of Archangels Metatron and Gabriel.

Shambala is a Tibetan Buddhist Centre, a dream manifest.
On this retreat there will be a conscious focus on the flowering of the highest potential within us and clearing more blocks on our personal path to self-fulfilment, enlightenment, service and joy.

How do I teach Karuna Reiki?
On successful completion you will become a registered Karuna Reiki® Master with the International Centre for Reiki Training, and entitled to use the letters “KRM”.

You will be able to teach Karuna Reiki® in 3 separate levels (Level I, Level II & Masters) or all levels together with existing Usui Masters as in this course.

Your students will also be eligible for registration with the ICRT (International Centre for Reiki training.)

The Meaning of Karuna
Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as "compassionate action."
When we reach enlightenment, we are conscious of the realms out with time, space and matter where there is no duality – only unity consciousness.

We understand that all beings are one. It is therefore natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction, as what we do for others we do for ourselves.

As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of unconditional love, but also because it is the entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal the pain of your own wounds, you would also want to heal other’s pain. It is stated in Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by prajna or wisdom in order to have the right effect.

Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end humanity’s suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not everyone is receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you assisting others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all the enlightened beings, thus your own healing is also quickened.

Reiki opens you to work more consciously with these enlightened beings. This includes those enlightened ones who are physically present as well as those in spirit.

The Karuna attunements initiate healing on very deep levels. The changes may continue for a long time following the course, so it is only advised for those who are already committed to their path of personal healing and spiritual growth.
