Reiki Classes – Reiki Is A Way Of Life

28 September 2016

I have been teaching Reiki for close to 15 years and thousands of students have learnt at SoulCentre.

www.soulcentre.org

One of the most amazing aspects of Reiki is how life changes after the first lesson.

It’s almost like living in a house with dirty windows and suddenly someone comes along and cleans the windows and for the first time you can really see colours, images and your life clearly.

A whole new energy and atmosphere results and its like life has really taken on a positive turn.

At Reiki we teach hands on healing, which supports the body in its healing process and also bringing it into balance.

However more importantly we teach a way of living life, which allows you to be more connected to this wonderful universe we live in and to move into synchronicity and support as you live your daily life.

What does this mean exactly?

Many situations arise where you simply are amazed at how they happened and there is no logical explanation for them;

• You think of a person you have not spoken to for a long time and then they call
• You hear a song on the radio which brings a deep message to you and later something else happens with the exact same message
• You make a plan to follow your dream and suddenly opportunities arise which previously you could not imagine possible.
• You need money to purchase something of benefit and then its manifested in some unusual way.
• You are keen to meet a certain person and a friend of a friend introduces you. The list is endless….

Since learning Reiki my life has truly been guided.

Each step is like a piece of a Jigsaw that fits into place and slowly piece by piece a beautiful image is created.

I am passionate about teaching Reiki to others in a professional manner.

The student attracts the teacher they deserve – this is a fact – and I am fully committed to giving everything I can to support each of my students on their Reiki journey.

Many students have now become Reiki teachers and it is such a joy to see their growth, happiness and passions for Reiki.

I am truly blessed to be able to teach.

Reiki Singapore – Just For Today … Be Happy

21 September 2016

Sally Forrest BSc, MRPharmS, MBA

As a medical pharmacist I was trained to always treat the symptoms of disease and little attention was given to the root cause of these symptoms that manifest in the body.

www.soulcentre.org

I am blessed to have experienced the wonders of Reiki, a simple hands on healing that has dramatic effects on health, emotions and general well being.

Not only do you learn key healing positions and what they mean on a mental and emotional level, you also learn about new ways of thinking and being.

I have taught thousands of students Reiki healing and each of them notices a difference on one of 3 levels;

• Mental – they begin to think about life in a new way.
• Emotional – negative emotions are replaced with positive ones.
• Physical – body ailments simply start to heal on their own.

At the root of all disease is a moving away from joy, peace and happiness.

We become unhappy or discontented about something in life and we hold onto these emotions, which eventually manifest in the body.

Dis-Ease is simply a moving away from ease.

Reiki will bring you back to balance and this is where true healing begins. After all if the body knows how to make itself sick, it surely knows how to heal.

The body is truly amazing and it continues to function without much effort from us.
For example :

• If you break a bone, the body knows how to fix itself,
• At night when you sleep and let go of this world we live in, the body continues to breathe and the heat beats and all is in order…

So Reiki allows you to have a much deeper understanding of your body- your emotions and your mind.

"Just for today be happy" is a mantra that I adopt and teach to my students.

After all life is a choice, we can choose to be happy or we can choose to let the externals of life distract us and make us unhappy.

Happiness is a state of being that allows healing and many students report unbelievable results after learning Reiki.

• Illnesses improve and often disappear.
• Allergies heal themselves.
• Women who were unable to conceive find out they are pregnant (this is always a joy to hear).
• Parents give Reiki to their children and their sleep patterns improve, as do their emotions.

Reiki truly is a first aid kit that you hold in your hands.

Anyone and everyone can learn it, and students have ranged from 6-86 years of age.

Do connect and register from our upcoming Reiki classes – it's the best gift you can give to yourself!

NEXT DATES : Weekday - Thursday 6/ Friday 7 October (10am-2pm)

Weekend – Saturday 8 / Sunday 9 October (10 am–3pm – lunch break included in timings) 

Reiki Demystified - What is Natural Healing?

7^th September 2016

"Imagine listening to your body and knowing how you can support it - this is the secret of natural healing."

Sally Forrest

www.soulcentre.org

Once you tune out of all the external distractions of the world, and begin to tune into yourself and your own inner messages, then miracles can happen.

Reiki natural healing is simply the ability to really connect with and listen to your own body and then use the energy of the universe to bring healing and balance to your body.

A peaceful body is in harmony with itself and is in balance.

A body with “Dis-ease” simply means that it is out of balance and harmony, it has moved away from ease and symptoms now develop.

Sally believes that if a body knows how to make itself "dis-eased" then it also knows how it can make itself healthy and whole.

All we need to do is to tune in and to listen.

Reiki is an easy to learn process whereby you can use the universal energy (the energy that makes the waves form, the wind blow, the trees bend etc.) to bring natural healing to yourself and others.

You begin to have awareness that emotions play a crucial role in our health and healing and learn to see where emotions impact and are stored in the body.

For example if you worry a lot, then your stomach area will be affected and you will have symptoms such as reflux, irritable bowel, weight gain etc.…

If you are hard on yourself, over controlling and take on too much, then you can get headaches and also shoulder issues.

Sally teaches Reiki from beginner level all the way to Certified Teacher level.

A medical pharmacist by training, Sally realised that many people in the world have no access to medicines yet can heal themselves in various ways.

This was the beginning of her journey into the mind-body connections and she has been learning and teaching for over 15 years.

Her next courses are in October and she offers both mid week and weekend dates.

Please do connect- it will be the best gift that you can give to yourself and your family.

Reiki Healing – How to develop a healing touch

Reiki is a gentle, hands on healing practice that brings so many benefits to the body. It is easy to learn and remains with you for life.

Reiki allows the body to move into a state of balance and this means that the body is better equipped to heal itself.

Have you ever had one of those moments when you are completely absorbed or lost in nature? Maybe you are sitting on the beach and watching a sunset, or, you have just climbed to the top of a mountain and are admiring the view.

In that moment everything else is forgotten; your aches and pains, your stresses and worries of life…in fact you are so completely absorbed in the moment that you feel so alive and in bliss. This is what I call the "Reiki feeling", and once you learn Reiki you simply put your hands on your own body and the "Reiki feeling" results.

Anyone and everyone can learn Reiki and at SoulCentre we have taught children from the age of 6 all the way to adults of 86.

So how do you develop the Reiki healing touch?

You need to attend a basic level Reiki class and during the class you will learn all about the hand positions on the body and how emotions are stored in certain areas of the body.

By simply putting your hands in certain positions on your body, the Reiki flows into the body and can have significant benefits not only to physical healing, but also to emotional and mental issues.

For example if you suffer from migraines, once you start to learn Reiki you may realise that you are being too hard on yourself, or expecting too much from others and by using Reiki your body starts to adjust. In addition, emotionally you feel happier and more stable and and you start to let go of things you cannot control.

The result is a healthier you and the migraines improve.

At SoulCentre we have taught thousands of students, many with healing needs. Reiki works on everything! It is also a great first aid kit to have in your hands for any and every occasion.

Reiki really is easy to learn and in 2 days you become so enthusiastic you cannot wait to get started on your own body and also your friends and family.

As Sally says "Keep those hot hands working and there is never an excuse to have lazy hands."

The next Reiki Level 1 will be held at SoulCentre on Saturday 20/Sunday 21 August.

We teach all the way from beginner to Reiki Master level.

Interview with Sally Forrest - Co-founder of SoulCentre

Sally was interviewed this week by Nerissa from Brown and Chase, a leading global company of talent acquisition / advisory, for a pod cast to be broadcast in May.

We are delighted to share a snippet from the interview.

"We are delighted to be speaking today to renowned Reiki master and teacher / former senior corporate executive / medical pharmacist with an MBA / Philanthropist and co-founder of SoulCentre Academy, Asia’s premier Centre for Personal Development, Sally Forrest.

"Sally inspires people worldwide to take responsibility for their lives and to live a life of happiness and holistic health"

Sally let me ask you  “How did you start your Reiki journey”

I am a medical pharmacist by training with a business MBA and so have a science/management background.

I was born in the UK into a large family where money was limited and so from an early age I learnt the qualities of working hard, being independent and going into the world to earn a living.

I worked for a company called Boots and was successful at growing my career rapidly with them. The external rewards of life at that stage were a key focus for me – job promotions, house, and car, gathering more and more.

The universe then stepped in, and out of the blue, Boots decided to go international and I was asked to be part of the team opening Boots stores in Thailand. Thailand was an amazing experience and it was hear that I first experienced Reiki.

The first time you experience Reiki it's like a wonderful comforting warm sensation moving through your body, giving your a feeling of deep relaxation, joy and happiness.

After 3 amazing years in Thailand, the Boots Company asked me to return to the UK to be part of a project downsizing the company. This was a turning point for me. Each day I woke and felt as if my heart was dying.

I felt my energy and passion ebbing away, so one morning I decided to become authentic and to follow my heart and so I quit my role. I decided I wanted to return to Asia and so this is what I did.

A few things were driving me, including a deep desire to set up an orphanage and give back to Thailand. I relocated myself to Singapore and for the first few months I focused my efforts on setting up an orphanage with 2 wonderful people I had met in Thailand.

It was whilst I was working with the hill tribe people in Thailand that I had another amazing awareness, and that was that some people with no access to medicines can heal themselves.

This was the start of my journey to understand the mind, body, health and healing.

I approached Reiki with an open mind and an eager heart. Naturally the mind wants to know the "how’s and whys" of things, and with Reiki is much more about feeling and experiencing it first before you try to understand it.

Once I had this beautiful feeling, I just knew I had to learn it for myself, as I wanted it to be a part of my daily living. Reiki made me feel was as if my eyes had taken an "eye wash" and suddenly the world looked a brighter, more colorful place and amazing synchronicity started to happen. 

I just knew deep down that I would go on to become a Reiki Teacher and spread this gift to others. I am eternally grateful to Dr Usui and his authentic teachings of Reiki.

At SoulCentre we teach in a very professional way, with excellent classroom facilities, comprehensive manuals and individual tuition.

Thousands of students have studies with us, and many are now teachers themselves. Students progress at a pace that suits them.

We are recognized as “Asia’s Premier Centre for Personal Development”

Find the passion in your life!

Find the passion in your life!

Many people really do not know what their passion is in life, and so wander aimlessly through life moving from one thing to another without any clear direction.

If a ship does not set a direction, it goes where the water takes it. This means that if a rock approaches then the chances are it hits the rock head on.

So why do we need a purpose in life? Why do we need direction?

Life is precious – it is a treasure, a true gift. Each day we live, we use up one day of our life allowance.

Imagine looking at an egg timer – the sand that has dropped to the bottom is the life that we have used. The question is how much sand do we have left in the top of this egg timer that is left to be used? The answer is simple – we do not know. The next grain of sand to pass through may simply be our last!

So treat each day as if it is more precious than the day that just went by.

Question your life and what you have done today

Have you done something meaningful for yourself and for others? We all have the boring, routine, mundane things to take care of, but these are not life!

What truly makes your heart sing? There lies your passion! Passion is your guide to what you should be doing each and every day. Each day we spend time doing things – so this is how we are living our life! We must create something that we love to do – else we are spending time (our life) for nothing!

So how did Reiki help me?

A number of years ago when I discovered Reiki it was literally like my eyes had taken a bath and the world took on a new meaning. I saw my world through new eyes. Reiki was a path I could walk on to joy and happiness. I decided from that moment to follow my heart and to let JOY be my guiding light – my inner compass. I realized it’s never at the beginning of a journey that you can see the complete path. You have to take a step and then its revealed as you walk.

So I took the first step …then the second and then the third… Now I teach Reiki all over the world, with professional programs and full support. I have also created a beautiful team of like-minded Reiki Masters who will teach alongside me.

Reiki will spread more and more and it is my true passion!

How does this help me the reader?

If you feel lost, and are searching for something more to life, then first look for the signs from the universe. It is not a coincidence that you are reading this article at this moment in your life. Take a step and do something that just feels right and then wait and see what the second step will be. This way you are eventually guided to something that brings you deep joy and peace … almost like returning home to unconditional love.

I am happy to connect with you the reader if you need more help and advice.

I send you my love and gratitude

Reiki Healing Stories

Today we interview the beautiful Louise about her amazing Reiki journey and the benefits she has seen in her life as a result.

Louise has studied from level 1, all the way to Reiki Master Level and has just completed her Reiki Master exam with flying colors!

Congratulations Louise, a truly dedicated and passionate student ;)

I hope you share your Reiki Therapy and Wisdom with others...


So Louise what brought you to Reiki?

I’ve always had an open mind about alternative and holistic therapies and after developing some troubling back and neck issues as a teenager I investigated various therapies including reflexology, acupuncture and Chiropractic treatment.  They were all helpful at relieving symptoms on a short term basis but the underlying issues remained.

By the time I was in my twenties it had become very obvious to me there was a fundamental link between my emotional state and the condition of my back.  I had been labelled as depressed when I was young and had suffered from lack of confidence and self doubt most of my life. 

One day I was discussing my need to take more responsibility for my overall health with my chiropractor when she confided in me that she had also suffered from depression and found Reiki very helpful.  I had heard of Reiki but knew nothing about it and so with an open mind I booked an appointment.

At the first session I was amazed at what I was experiencing on a physical and emotional level and I immediately booked another appointment.  I quickly became fascinated and curious about what Reiki was and wanted to know more.  Sharon told me she also taught and suggested it would be a good idea for me to learn for myself.  She didn’t have to ask twice and in November 2009 I took Reiki first degree with her.

Before I had a chance to progress to the next level my husband’s company offered him a role in Singapore.  When he asked how I felt about going I simply said, “if I can study Reiki over there I will happily go”, I jumped on the internet and typed in Singapore Reiki and enough hits came up to reassure me.  We left for Singapore a couple of months later!

Once we had settled in I started my search for a Reiki teacher I was comfortable with.  After a few false starts I came to SoulCentre and met Sally and knew immediately I was in the right place.  Her enthusiasm and authenticity were infectious and I signed up to retake the first degree straight away.  I knew I wanted to learn all the way to master level right from the outset and I felt it was important to start the journey from the beginning again with Sally.

What Benefits have you seen personally since learning Reiki?

I have benefited in so many ways since learning Reiki.  For me what has been key is that Reiki truly gets to grips with the mind body connection.  It teaches right from the start that without a happy mind there cannot be a happy (healthy) body.  It provides a framework for how to live your best life and by following this guidance I have been able to let go of the negative labels I had attached to myself for so long and happiness and peace have found their way in.

Reiki also focuses on the importance of healing yourself first before giving to others and I believe very strongly this is essential if you are to treat others successfully.

On a physical level I experience significantly less back pain and have learnt to listen to my body rather than ignoring or masking symptoms.

I am much more aware of my self-talk which allows me to recognise quickly when it is negative and turn it around.  As my understanding of who I really am and what I have to offer increases I live with more purpose.  My energy levels have gone up and I have found the confidence to move away from the people and situations that don’t support the real me.

How has Reiki Helped your family?

It’s great to have a method of healing which can be used anywhere, any time and without the need for any equipment.  I have given my husband Reiki for neck pain in a shopping mall!  You might not always be in the best environment to give Reiki but you can do something to help.

I gave my husband’s knee Reiki when he developed an injury whilst training for an event last year and he’s convinced it made the difference and allowed him to still take part.

It’s also a comfort to know I can use distant healing for my friends and family back in the UK.  My mum recently called me to ask if I would send distant Reiki to a close friend who had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and it’s so nice to be able to help in those situations.

On an emotional level Reiki has benefited my relationship with my husband as I am a calmer, happier person.  I always thought we communicated well and knew each other fully but as I’ve been able to accept myself more and more my ability to express my true feelings has really helped us work together as a team.  In fact he’s so impressed with the benefits of Reiki he’s signed up to do first degree Reiki at the SoulCentre!

Any Advice to others considering Reiki?

I would urge anyone who is interested to try it; you never know where it might lead!
