"We, as Reiki practitioners, are not responsible for the healing process. The person (or animal) receiving the energy can get better, or worse, or nothing may change.
We should never claim credit nor take blame for the results of a Reiki session. Our only job is to deliver the energy.
The only true healers are both the Reiki energy and the body receiving the energy."

The Gift of Reiki Self-Treatment
by
Lourdes Gray, Ph.D.
My late husband, John Harvey Gray would say to his students, "A Reiki practitioner can treat him or herself with Reiki just as effectively as if he or she were being treated by another Reiki practitioner. Reiki is the only modality where the practitioner can be his or her own healer!"
And John was right. One of the greatest gifts Reiki offers us is the ability to heal ourselves, to be our own healers. Reiki self-treatment is so powerfully effective because we, as Reiki practitioners, do not use our own energy to do the healing. Once we are attuned to the Reiki energy, whenever we touch "cells with a purpose," that is, living cells in the body of a human, including our own body, animal, or plant, the cells that come in contact with our hands recognize that Reiki energy is available and start drawing it automatically. There is no need for prayer or meditation. It matters not that the cells are in the body of another being or in our own body. The process works in either case. It is completely automatic. We, as Reiki practitioners, are channels for the energy. The process of energy delivery does not require any type of effort or concentration on our part. In fact, we can practice Reiki self-treatment when we are asleep. The Reiki energy flows whether we are asleep or awake. As long as our hands are in contact with a body (and its cells) the cells in that body will be able to draw in the Reiki energy! Continue reading The Gift of Reiki Self-Treatment

Coming Up! Reiki Crystal Healing
September 18, 2011
Healers have been utlizing crystals and healing energy as powerful tools for thousands of years. Crystals transmit and amplify energy. Crystals also store knowledge and information. Because each kind of crystal vibrates at its own unique set of frequencies, the crystal is able to work on a specific condition or problem while helping to restore a state of balance and harmony.
In this workshop you will learn how to utilize crystals and Reiki synergistically during a session for healing the mind, body and spirit. Crystals and tuning forks will be available for you to practice with during the workshop. There also will be crystals and tuning forks available for sale.
In this workshop you will learn how to:
- Use muscle testing and dowsing to help you select the right crystals for yourself and for your client
- Use crystals during a Reiki session
- Cleanse your crystals
- Charge your crystals with Reiki
- Do a full body crystal layout to balance the chakras, clear the aura and bring healing to the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical body
- Use a crystal tuning fork calibrated to the Shumman resonant frequency of the Earth to activate the healing properties of the crystals
- Use Reiki and crystals to heal the effects of negative emotions on the chakras
- Use Reiki to program your crystals for specific purposes
- Meditate with your crystal(s)
- Clear a room of negative energies using Reiki and crystals
"This class was simply amazing. Lourdes, as always, taught this class with such clarity I was enthralled from the start and didn't want it to end. I learned so much about crystals. How crystals can help heal, and how I can use crystals to assist my Reiki clients and myself. Having the opportunity to experience the healing properties of the crystals during a Reiki crystal session was over the top, it was so fantastic! Lourdes packed a lot into one day and everyone in the class commented that it was the best class ever! If you're looking to take your Reiki to the next level, this class is it!"

Coming Up! Reiki I Workshop
September 24-25, 2011
Reiki, pronounced "ray key", means Universal Life Force. This energy is all around us, and we can channel it.
The Reiki process is a simple method of hands-on healing as developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, a minister from Kyoto, Japan. After training, Reiki energy flows through the arms and hands of the Reiki healer and into the cells of the person being treated. The energy is used to normalize body functions. It helps to reestablish balance and harmony on the physical, emotional, and spiritual planes so that the natural function is restored. Reiki differs from other healing methods in that a specific attunement process is used to prepare students for the flow of healing energy. This protects them from either transmitting or absorbing any negative energetic patterns.
By the end of this First Degree Reiki Class you will be able to:
Deliver effective and powerful Reiki treatments for yourself, family, friends, clients and pets.
Use Reiki to heal any condition--physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.
Treat injuries and accidents with Reiki.
Understand the purpose of the chakras and how they work, and utilize the information intuitively to bring balance and healing to the self or others. Scan the chakra centers of the person receiving treatment and perceive areas of reduced vitality flow.
Channel Reiki energy into yourself or others, and sense the energy as it flows through your hands.
Appreciate how attitudes can create dis-ease in the mind and emotions, and how the physical body might be affected.

"Very much enjoyed Reiki I last month! "Hand to Hand" is such a wonderful resource. Favorite quote so far: "Practicing Reiki is not just working with energy, it is being partners with Spirit." Many thanks Lourdes, looking forward to Reiki II!"
Julie Bonetti

"I have to say, it was an amazing experience...I will definitely be coming back for another class! The way you taught everything was very easy for me to understand & your story about coming to America from Cuba was very inspiring. I loved the atmosphere/energy there & being up in the mountains for the weekend really added to the experience. I also really enjoyed learning about the source/lineage of what you taught us & the history of Reiki...the slideshow was also a very cool ending to the class! I'm thankful I was able to go to you for my Reiki training & I will be recommending your classes/center to a few people I know, as well as anyone that I may meet who is interested in learning more about Reiki. :)"

Coming Up! Past Life Regressions
October 29, 2011
Have you ever wondered who you may have been in a past life or whether some of the people you now know in your current life were with you in a previous lifetime? Have you ever had a deja vu experience, that is, a feeling of either knowing a perfect stranger, of having been in a place you have never before visited, or been in a situation you have never experienced before?
Are you at a crossroads ... at a point in your life where you feel unsure of your path and are now looking for answers and guidance in your personal journey?
There are answers to be found. A past life regression is not just an experience to satisfy your curiosity. It can have an immediate, life-changing effect on your life!
After taking the Past Life Regression Seminar, many graduates experience the following effects:
- A deeper understanding of themselves and their life purpose
- The dissolution of stumbling blocks and obstables in their lives
- The healing of broken relationships
- The release of fears and anxieties
- The ability to move on to a more profitable and fulfilling career
Cost: $125 with 15% discount only $106.25
Date: October 29, 2011 Hours: 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Location: The John Harvey Gray Center for Reiki Healing, 9 Blake Street, Jaffrey, NH 03452
The regressions will be conducted by Dr. Lourdes Gray. Lourdes is a certified clinical hypnotherapist and regression specialist. Read what our students are saying about the class:
"Dear Lourdes,
When I signed up for the Past Life Regression Class, I didn't know what to expect from the class. I took it to familiarize myself with your clinic as well as with you as a teacher prior to taking a Reiki I class.... I had no idea it would be one of the most rewarding and mentally healing experiences of my life. When I realized that my anger towards someone in this life was anger from a past life not resolved, I was able to let go of it and find peace. Taking this class prior to starting my Reiki journey was the best gift I could give myself. Thank you for your amazing guidance and I would highly recommend you as a teacher as well as you PLR class!
With love and now with peace,"
Debbie Goodwin

"Dear Lourdes,
The Past Life Regression class was quite thought provoking and life altering for me.
I was able to finally understand where certain patterns in this lifetime came from which
allowed me to heal quite profoundly."
Sharon Paquette
Reiki Master Teacher Apprentice
Concord, NH
"My experience with Past Life Regression at the John Harvey Reiki Center was like going into a secret garden. It helped me understand my present life questions and inhabitations. It relieved several of my fears and gave me the hope and understanding I was searching for. The experience was life changing; I can't wait to attend another class and see what's in store!"

Coming Up! Learn To See Auras
October 30, 2011
Have you ever met a person and instantly felt a 'like' or 'dislike' toward that person, yet you did not know why? Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt a positive or negative energy present? Have you ever had a premonition that turned out to be correct? Have you ever had moments when you observed subtle layers of colored lights around a person, animal, or plant?
These events are influenced by the aura. You do not need to be clairvoyant or have special spiritual gifts in order to learn to see, read or sense auras and chakras (even if you have found this to be a challenge in the past). Anyone can quickly and easily learn to see, read and sense auras and chakras!
In this class you will also learn how the aura functions as a bio-energetic field emanating from people, animals, plants and objects. When the aura is intact, it acts as a barrier, a protection from negative energies. No negative energy can penetrate your aura if it is intact unless you allow it to do so.
In this class you will learn how to:
- See, read, and sense auras and chakras
- Read the colors and other signs in the aura
- Protect yourself from negative energies
- Heal, strengthen and protect your aura and keep it intact!
- Detect energy vampires and protect yourself from psychic attack
A practice CD, intruction manual, and your personal Kirlian aura photograph and Kirlian photo interpretation, will be provided for you to keep.

"Very cool! I can see auras!!"

"Dear Lourdes,
I wanted to share with you some wonderful news about my work on the Reiki team at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. This month, the Business NH Magazine mentions the team at DHMC in an article titled "Alternative Medicine Fights To Go Mainstream". I am on the 16 member volunteer team and I work 3 to 4 hours a week. In that time period, I see approximately 8 -10 patients ranging from critical care, cardiac care, neurology, medical surgical, inpatient chemotherapy and general inpatient. Time permits only being able to spend 20 - 30 minutes on each patient because of the high demand of patients to be seen in that short window of time. A very important component of my work is to have the patient complete a before and after evaluation of pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, nausea and overall sense of well being. They do this on a number scale from "zero" being not symptomatic to "10" being the worst. I have yet to find a patient that has not had dramatic changes in their numbers after a session. Even a short, 30 minute session is so effective! If there pain, nausea or anxiety is "7" when I start, it is not uncommon to see it come down to a "2" or even a "zero". These patients and there families are amazed by the simplicity and gentle relief that is achieved. I have yet to find anyone who doesn't want to schedule a follow up Reiki session!
I feel so honored to do this service for my community and to help validate Reiki as a complementary mode of medicine in such prestigious establishment such as DHMC. I will be forever grateful to you Lourdes for the wonderful Reiki training and confidence you have given to me to "pay forward" to others."
Debbie Goodwin, Plainfield, NH - Reiki II
"Dear Lourdes,
I have had a number of wonderful healing experiences. Giving direct treatment, a friend of mine came to visit before going to the Dana Farber center in Boston. She has a rare form of leukemia and nothing was working and her kidneys were being damaged by the chemo. It was a last ditch effort to meet with specialists in Boston. I gave her a treatment right before the doctor's visit. After seeing the doctor she reported that everything was working great and she would be in remission in the next month or so. Her treatments were being decreased.
Another client that I felt something in the eyes turned out to have ovarian problems. She had an operation to remove both ovaries and is feeling wonderful. She continues to see me once a week and loves Reiki!
My daughters migraines disappeared for three days after direct Reiki, and she is feeling terrific after SHK to relax (remote healing).
Another client feels much better after regular treatments for arthritis. Still another, who is in her 80s, is now walking longer distances and feeling more energetic after one treatment. Most feel warmth, tingling and a euphoric feeling while receiving direct Reiki. As far as my own self treatment, since May, my blood pressure has gone down 30 points and so has my cholesterol with no other variable than Reiki self-treatment.
In terms of goals, I have overcome writer's block and creative blocks generally and have started writing, sculpting and painting more productively. I am less tired after giving treatments and can feel the energy flowing more efficiently. I think I am learning how to get out of the way!
Love & Peace, "
Sue Overstreet,

"Dear Lourdes,
When I give myself a Reiki self-treatment, I am saying that I am important and that I can do more for others if I am complete within myself. Reiki empowers me to give this gift to myself."
Deborah Cort,
Reiki Master Apprentice
Nashua, NH
The article you have written for the current newsletter (August 2011) about the use of Reiki before and after surgery is very interesting and useful to me. Thank you"
