DISCLAIMER: This is for entertainment purposes.

About Victoria:

She is a cheerleader at heart and not afraid to offer straightforward empowering messages. EVERYTHING is about perspective in astrology and interpretations vary from different schools of thought. She is mostly self-taught, but influenced by: Carl Jung, Dane Rudhyar, Jeffrey Wolf Green, Evolutionary Astrology, Alice Bailey, Esoteric Astrology, Melanie Reinhardt, Liz Greene, and many other brilliant cosmically attuned Teachers. She feels one of her great gifts is synthesizing many different streams of information and teachings into messages for the Highest Good without being confined by any one particular system. She primarily uses the Tropical Zodiac and Placidus house system – she feels it is the most accurate.

She has been a student of astrology and all things Metaphysical since she was a teenager, over 30 years ago. She’s always had a voracious appetite for Knowledge and Information.

She founded VICTORY ASTROLOGY in January, 2018. This space is meant to share her love of astrology and help teach others how to empower themselves by learning to understand the language of Astrology, rather than seeing it as a “Belief System” or religion. It is not.

Jikiden Reiki® Seminar in Shoden (Level I)

CLASS TIMES:  Friday,  7-9:30pm,   Saturday 11am-7pm, Sunday 9:30am-6pm

Are you looking for ways to improve your quality of life, reduce stress and anxiety, remove toxicity from the body, and guiding it towards wholeness?
 
The traditional standard treatment in our American healthcare system rarely looks at the “root cause” of our symptoms and treats only the symptom. Therefore, we rarely address and heal the underlying cause. Left untreated, it can manifest into illness.
 
Our bodies are designed and fully equipped to heal themselves. Reiki taps into those innate abilities.
 
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a simple form of energy healing from Japan known as “Shinshin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho”, which translates as “Usui treatment for the improvement of body and mind”.
 
Reiki supports the whole person physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually while drilling down on specific issues. Jikiden Reiki® sessions focus on removing toxins from the body and guiding it towards wholeness.
 
Jikiden Reiki® is the “direct teaching” of Reiki presented with credibility and clarity from authentic verifiable Japanese lineage.
 
This lineage goes from Mikao Usui to Dr. Hayashi to Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi, Tadao’s (current President of Jikiden Reiki® Kenkyukai) mother, who learned Reiki in 1938. Because this lineage has not gone through Mrs. Takata, it lacks the Westernization of Reiki.
 
Learning reiki is easy and can be used in a home or clinical setting to enhance the health and emotional wellness of both self and others. It is also complementary with all other alternative or traditional medical treatments, and in non-invasive.
 
In these classes (called seminars), you will experience Reiki in its original beauty and simplicity as it was taught in Japan before it was brought to the west in the 1930’s. Because Jikiden Reiki® is free from Western influence, it differs from “Western” style of Reiki in approach, attitude, and ideas.
Its roots go back almost to the discovery of Reiki itself.

Who should take a Jikiden Reiki® Class?

  • Anyone interested in learning Reiki
  • Current reiki practitioners who wish to deepen their practice & understanding
  • Mothers looking for ways to reduce medication usage and visits to the pediatrician’s office every time your child gets sick
  • Caregivers constantly fighting the fight looking for a better way to care for your loved ones
  • Anyone looking for ways to minimize the need for medications or medical procedures
  • Anyone looking for ways to improve your quality of life, reduce stress and anxiety, remove toxicity from the body, and reduce the over-reliance of over medication and overuse of medical procedures.
  • Clergy
  • Hospice workers & volunteers
  • Healthcare providers such as doctors, nurses, massage therapists, mental health workers, addiction counselors, etc. looking to incorporate a more integrative and holistic approach into their scope of practice.
  • School teachers, administrators, and aides
  • Those in addiction recovery.
  • Advocates – domestic violence, social justice, health, hospice, anti-racism etc.
  • Trauma survivors such as medical trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault

What you will discover:

  • It is unique – A Japanese Reiki with NO Western ties.
  • It is much more than a relaxing therapy
  • A deep Jikiden Reiki® practice with a history of success with chronic illness as well as to address deep-rooted beliefs, habits, traumas, and addictions.
  • A proven approach that is safe and effective
  • An effective treatment option for alleviating pain, pre-op and post-op surgery recovery, anxiety, skin conditions, and post-traumatic stress.
  • A simple, non-religious therapeutic treatment that works
  • Includes ideas and methods not previously taught in the West

♡ Certification is through the Jikiden Reiki® Kenkyukai (Institute) in Kyoto, Japan.  Certificates in Japanese are sent directly from the Institute in Kyoto, Japan.
