Reiki Attunement #1 - A More Traditional Approach

Reiki Attunement #1 - A More Traditional Approach

Presented by:
Natalija M. Kyle, Reiki Master/Teacher & Holistic Healthcare Practitioner  

**Space is limited so sign up fast**  

Reiki is an ancient Japanese art of hands-on healing. It is a spiritual practice that follows the energy systems of the body, triggering the innate wisdom within the mind, body, and spirit. This allows for deep, profound awareness and healing, and creates a space of restored balance and alignment. It soothes and relaxes tensions as well as emotions.      

This is a very self-transformative class and a process that will last for 21 days. 

Reiki 1 includes: 

  • Introduction and history of Usui Reiki. Talk about Tibetan and Shamanic Reiki 

  • Channel opening attunements: Each attunement opens up deeper channels of connection to source energy as well as utilizing the self as a conduit of divine healing.  

  • Learn about the 4 bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical), 4 elements (air, water, earth, air) and the Chakra system and how they impact our daily life.  

  • How to create ceremony and a sacred space to find the tools that will help you along on your healing journey.  

  • Go in-depth about self-care, self-healing and how to tap into the wisdom of your wounds. Learn how to listen to your body and connect to your intuition as a guide. It is vital that we learn to navigate our own wounds before we guide others to do so. 

  • Techniques on setting up your daily self-care Reiki sessions 

  • An in-depth manual 

  • 21 days of daily support with long-distance Reiki from Natalija and unlimited email support. With a final check and closure at the end of 21 days.  

Natalija was attuned to her first Reiki, through the lineage line of Dr Usui, in 2007. She spent the next 6.5  years deeply healing and connecting to the powers of this old medicine. Through those years she continued to advance through Reiki 2 and 3 (Tibetan Masters) and finally completed her Shamanic Reiki teacher certification at the end of 2013. Although the gift of Reiki was a stepping stone to her hands-on healing, Natalija has personalized and gathered many spiritual and holistic tools over the years.  

$260 – on or before Sunday, January 5th (early bird special)
$290 – starting Monday, January 6th 

Early bird special expires Sunday, January 5th including those registered but not yet paid.

Building Daily Ceremony Practices

Presented by:
Natalija M. Kyle, Clinical Herbalist & Holistic Healthcare Practitioner  

  • Also offered LIVE STREAMED with access to the recording for 7 days.

Ceremony can be seen as a structured way to mark significant events or transitions in life. It often involves rituals that connect us to ourselves, others, and a Higher consciousness. Ceremony creates a space for intention-setting, reflection, and community, fostering a deeper connection to the sacred aspects of life.

Showing up in integrity involves being authentic, honest, and transparent in your practices and interactions. This means continually self-reflecting, being open to learning, and holding yourself accountable. It’s also about respecting others’ paths and experiences while staying true to your own.

Let's explore: 

  • Showing up authentically and respectively within the Spiritual community. 

  • Building the daily practice of ceremony - ALL of life is ceremony

  • How to create an altar or focal point for your healing, desires & workspace.

  • Explore our connection to YOUR guides, totems, and medicines/gifts. 

  • Looking into the healing ‘tools’ that resonate with you, creating a toolbox of help for your journey ahead.

Handouts will be provided.

Using Oracle Cards and Our Intuition

Presented by:
Natalija M. Kyle, Clinical Herbalist & Holistic Healthcare Practitioner  

  • Also offered LIVE STREAMED with access to the recording for 7 days.

Using Oracle cards can be a fantastic tool for tuning in. They offer insights and prompts that can help you reflect on your current situation and feelings. Pulling a card daily or weekly can provide guidance and spark intuition.

Reconnecting with our intuition is such a powerful tool as well, and is deeply ingrained in us! Unfortunately, there are many external influences that can distract us from our inner wisdom, but there are beautiful ways to reignite that connection.  

Come join me to learn more about our intuition and the use of oracle cards. We will be discussing:

  • The difference between our domesticated self and our wild self.

  • How important our intuition has been historically & how we can call upon it in today's world. 

  • Using oracle cards: setting up space, clearing, connecting & how to ask questions. 

  • Experience an intuitive activity with Oracle cards. 

Handouts will be provided.

Reiki Attunements #3 (A More Traditional Approach)

Presented by:
Natalija M. Kyle, Holistic Healthcare Practitioner, Reiki Master/Teacher 

This class has a prerequisite of Reiki #1 & 2. Please see the class list for the next Reiki #1 & 2 OR contact Natalija for approval if you have been previously attuned by a different practitioner.

**Space is limited and fills up fast.

Reiki #3 is the final in the basic attunements of Reiki. This class dives deep into the full spectrum of healing.. from ancestral lines through to current times. It is required that you are able to look into your own wounds, heal them in some way, and rise from the challenges of life. In doing so we gather healing tools and learn empathy, which supports us in our ability to show up for others in an unconditional way.  You will: 

  • Receive 4 more symbols and an understanding on how to use them.  

  • Dive into ancestral healing and learn to create an ancestor mandala for guidance. 

  • Tap into your guides, guardians, and ancestors for support and guidance. 

  • How can we use sound healing to support the healing process 

  • Practice and receive a hands-on Reiki session

  • Receive 21 days of support with long distant Reiki and email access 

  • Continue self-healing and collecting of healing tools 

Natalija was attuned to her first Reiki, through the lineage line of Dr Usui, in 2007. She spent the next 6.5  years deeply healing and connecting to the powers of this old medicine. Through those years she continued to advance through Reiki 2 and 3 (Tibetan Masters) and finally completed her Shamanic Reiki teacher certification at the end of 2013. Although the gift of Reiki was a stepping stone to her hands-on healing, Natalija has personalized and gathered many spiritual and holistic tools over the years.

Holistic Care for Autoimmune Disease

Presented by:

  • Also offered LIVE STREAMED with access to the recording for 7 days.**

Did you know that an estimated 24 million Americans are affected by autoimmune diseases such as asthma, Hashimoto's, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, IBS, celiac disease, and type 1 diabetes? The rising prevalence of these conditions is linked to a combination of high stress, insufficient downtime, poor nutrition, chronic dehydration, and increasing exposure to environmental toxins.   

In this class we will go over: 

  • The importance of good ‘whole food’ nutrition and the impact of today's overly processed diet has on our bodies and immune systems.  As well as touch on all the ‘fad’ diets.

  • Stress management tips. Living in our over-stressed society has a huge impact on our overall fundamental health, so let's learn some great de-stressing techniques.

  • The difference between our sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) states and how to shift into the much-needed rest and digest for deep healing. 

  • Herbal friends that help mediate the effects of chronic stress and inflammation. As well as specific herbs for specific autoimmune ‘dis’eases.

Reiki Attunement #1 - A More Traditional Approach

Reiki Attunement #1 - A More Traditional Approach

Presented by:
Natalija M. Kyle, Reiki Master/Teacher & Holistic Healthcare Practitioner  

**Space is limited so sign up fast**  

Reiki is an ancient Japanese art of hands-on healing. It is a spiritual practice that follows the energy systems of the body, triggering the innate wisdom within the mind, body, and spirit. This allows for deep, profound awareness and healing, and creates a space of restored balance and alignment. It soothes and relaxes tensions as well as emotions.      

This is a very self-transformative class and a process that will last for 21 days. 

Reiki 1 includes: 

  • Introduction and history of Usui Reiki. Talk about Tibetan and Shamanic Reiki 

  • Channel opening attunements: Each attunement opens up deeper channels of connection to source energy as well as utilizing the self as a conduit of divine healing.  

  • Learn about the 4 bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical), 4 elements (air, water, earth, air) and the Chakra system and how they impact our daily life.  

  • How to create ceremony and a sacred space to find the tools that will help you along on your healing journey.  

  • Go in-depth about self-care, self-healing and how to tap into the wisdom of your wounds. Learn how to listen to your body and connect to your intuition as a guide. It is vital that we learn to navigate our own wounds before we guide others to do so. 

  • Techniques on setting up your daily self-care Reiki sessions 

  • An in-depth manual 

  • 21 days of daily support with long-distance Reiki from Natalija and unlimited email support. With a final check and closure at the end of 21 days.  

Natalija was attuned to her first Reiki, through the lineage line of Dr Usui, in 2007. She spent the next 6.5  years deeply healing and connecting to the powers of this old medicine. Through those years she continued to advance through Reiki 2 and 3 (Tibetan Masters) and finally completed her Shamanic Reiki teacher certification at the end of 2013. Although the gift of Reiki was a stepping stone to her hands-on healing, Natalija has personalized and gathered many spiritual and holistic tools over the years.  

$260 – on or before Sunday, March 30th (early bird special)
$290 – starting Monday, March 31st 

Early bird special expires Sunday, March 30th including those registered but not yet paid.

In this class, she will be sharing with you:

From planting crops to Spiritual ceremonies, following the moon cycles is an ancient practice. The fullness of the moon pulls heavily on our emotions and desires. It illuminates all things, giving us the opportunity to let go of that which no longer serves us or to see what is for our highest good.  It is a perfect time to plant seeds of manifestations, find solutions and clearly see the path to healing our own mind, body, and spirit. Under the light of the full moon, all things are illuminated. 

We will experience:   

  • A full moon meditation focused on the Gemini aspects for healing and manifesting. 

  • Journal prompts focused on planting seeds and finding solutions as we embrace Winter. 

  • Learn about the Winter Solstice and how to fully embrace the meaning of this transition. 

  • Individually building a Winter Solstice Ritual that fits your wants and needs.

  • Collectively brewing a mulled cider with prayer and intention.

  • Chair Yoga and gentle movement, with sound healing.  

$75 - On or before Sunday, December 8th (early bird special)
