I had a very detailed bio including my education in Japanese styles of Usui Reiki Ryoho, Master Herbalist, meditation, etc. but for some unknonw reason this page it not allowing me to paste in from Word.
I will be typing in at a later time, but in the mean time you can see the Japanese styles of Usui Reiki Ryoho that I practice, teach and live by visiting my webstie at www.naturalhealinglarning.com.
One my webstie you can read many things, inlcudin about my recently released children's fantasy book 'What Tail?, which I say show that you cannot judge a book by its cover. It is not only is an intriguing unique fastasy story that evokes imaginatoin, but helps children grow by showing that accepting others who look or act differently than you can be fun.
"The Secret to Health and Happiness," is what Mikao Usui said of the spiritual prctice he founded the early 1920s. Japanese styles that retain the simple yet profound essence of Usui Reiki Ryoho continue to hold the secret to health and happiness.
My quote from 2002, "Everyone is born with the right to be healthy and live with happiness, and the path of Reiki helps to fulfill that right", is the summary of how I see the spiritual practice of Usui Reiki Ryoho.
Hippocrates said, "The physician treats, but nature heals".
Hiroshi Doi, one of my Shihans who joined the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in 1993 and created the style Gendai Reiki-ho says, "Reiki is vibration. Reiki is light, its true nature is pure light. Reiki-ho is the system how to use it, the way of utilizing universal energy. Reiki will lead you to what you will really be".
When you visit the webpage http://www.naturalhealinglearning.com/index.html you will find natural healing ways way have helped others find health and happiness. and improve the quality of their life. I have studied various forms of natural healing for over thirty five years, but practicing and teaching Japanese styles of Usui Reiki in the way as they have come directly from Japan is my focus. I also teach meditation, give original guided meditations privately and in workshops and have recorded two of my guided meditations on the CD Finding Your Solutions.
Being approved by the National Certification Board for therapeutic Massage & Body work (NCBTMB) as a continuing education Approved Provider, I am able to offer massage therapist that extra that they can give to each of their clients. If you are a massage therapist, you can view her scheduled classes on her website or contact her here http://bit.ly/I8IPN Meditation is a wonderful way to begin and end each day.
After having completed the highest level in Western Reiki and then moving on to complete the hgihest level in both Gendai Reiki-ho and Komyo Reiki Kai directly under Hiroshi Doi and Rev. Hyakuten Inamoto I found how the balance and harmony of Usui Reiki can flow into all areas of life.
I began using healing herbs while living in Canada, and after moving back to teh USA I found Usui Reiki flowing into my studies helped me to complet my Master Herbalist, for people, with high honors. While I explain that I studied healing herbs for people and not animals, the spsiritual method that Mikao Usui founded, Usui Reiki Ryoho is for all living things and some of my clients leave wagging their tails.
The mention of tails opens to another way in which Japanese Reiki improved the quality of my life. I began writing about a very unique animal which living in Canada and as the years passed more unusual characters joined to share adventures inthe Annan Woods. You will not see on Amazon and in many gookstores the fantasy childrens' book What ? by Roberta R. Barnes. When you are reading through the chapters laughing and shaking your head, you will also she the wisdom of Mikao Usui reflected inthe words and actions of the wise old Mr. owl, who is the wisest of all wise owls.
On my webstie you will see various things studetns have written about me as Japanes Usui Reiki Shihna. One student describes her experience in studying three levels with me in this way, “To those of you who are thinking of enlightening your lives for the better, I would recommend taking classes from Roberta R. Barnes. I have taken Shoden (level 1), Okuden (level 2), and just completed Shinpiden (level 3), in Gendai Reiki-Ho. It is hard for me to express to others what has happened within me and around me after completing each level. I see the world and those in it differently. The best change has been within myself. I feel more balanced and open to the universe and what it wants to share with me. I feel more happiness and peacefulness then I have felt in a long while. I am finally able to just let go. For me that is a big one. So hard to put into words when the emotions are so overflowing. Roberta is understanding, and all of so many questions she answered patiently." -- Patty C.
