MASTER'S LEVEL REIKI:
I live in London and was drawn to study my Masters level in Maui. After a few Skype calls with Bill I knew he would be the Master for my training through our friendly and cheerful conversations. Bill was in regular contact via email before my training to answer any questions and send through an outline on his course. As Bill was offering one to one training he was very flexible to add in any extra Reiki training (inc Animal Reiki), and go over any Level I and II training that may not have been covered by my previous Reiki Master.
Bill studied under William Rande and uses his comprehensive manuals, so I have come away with a wealth of information. All areas of the Master's level were covered, and additional Tibetan attunements taught which will be fantastic extra techniques in my energy toolbox. Bill also included many Reiki meditations, both from William Rande and other sources which I found inspiring and very enlightening.
Bill has a relaxed teaching style, and throughout my week's training with him, he relied on his intuition to lead him as to which attunements and subjects to study on each day. As I was staying with Bill for a longer than normal time for his Masters Training he was also very flexible to keep certain days free to take me to see other areas of Maui.
My usual London routine is fairly scheduled, so this new intuitive way of studying took a little getting used to, but the relaxed Maui way finally allowed me to trust in this way of training. In fact it was as much of a training to relax and be present in my day as it was to study the lessons of Master level. It is something I will take forward in my life and allow me to connect ever more so to the Reiki energy in my businesses as I have found the ability to relax into my day.
Bill is a teacher of energy and of life, and I am very grateful to him for this.
ACCOMMODATION / ISLAND STAY:
When I decided to study for my Masters level with Bill he kindly offered accommodation throughout my training at his large and welcoming home in the central area of Maui, Pukalini. Bill's wonderful home backs onto a large open golf course and so my daily routine was to start the day with my practise of yoga on the grass, listening to the birds wake up and looking out over views of the ocean in the distance. Bill and his partner Paul have 2 peaceful guest rooms in their home, and are wonderful couple always ready to share their lives and visiting friends with whomever is staying with them. I have met many interesting and inspiring people during my stay with them.
I decided to incorporate my training with Bill into a longer stay so that I could explore the island, being my first time in Maui and Hawaii. To remain in the eco-friendly Reiki way I decided not to hire a car for my stay and Bill was very generous with his time, suggestions and organisation to allow me to experience the best of his island with him. This in fact turned out to be of immense benefit to my training and also to my spiritual and personal growth during my time with Bill.
Bill incorporated days out to places of beauty with Reiki meditations and the time to absorb the history and the energy of the island. Bill was extremely knowledgable on Maui's history, wildlife, trees, flowers and even the Hawaiian language. I felt very honoured and quite honestly spoilt with having Bill as my guide to Maui! We took a day's drive through the Hana Way and this allowed us time to enjoy the changing scenery of the island, many hours chatting about energy, life and Reiki, and even both giving Reiki to a newly felled tree as we saw the workmen clearing the roads.
These trips added to the training in ways that are only now becoming apparent to me. Everything is indeed a lesson.
I would honestly say this trip has been life changing, and in my opinion there is no better way to study becoming a Reiki Master than to absorb the energies on Maui, and incorporate this training with a wonderful adventure around the island with Bill. read more
