Information: Shinpiden Reiki Master Teacher /Practitioner class:

Wednesday, February 11th
9:00 - 5:00
$500
1 student registered

If the listed class dates do not work out, the Master / Shinpiden class may be scheduled one-to-one, or opened to other students, on a date that works for us both. Scheduling is approached collaboratively and with respect for each student’s circumstances.

Payment plans are available for any amount, over any length of time. I believe access to practice and teaching should be guided by sincerity and readiness rather than financial pressure, and I am happy to work with you to create an arrangement that feels supportive and sustainable.

Practitioners from all Reiki lineages are welcome.

Level II or Master level is required; what matters most is a grounded Reiki practice, sincerity, and a willingness to meet the teachings with openness and curiosity.

This class is suitable for those who feel called to:

🌼 Deepen their Reiki practice beyond form and technique

🌼 Explore Shinpiden as a lived, ongoing practice

This class follows the teachings and terminology used by Frans Stiene and the International House of Reiki, emphasizing direct experience, presence, self-cultivation, and embodied practice rather than technique accumulation. Shinpiden is a beginning, not an end - an entry point into ongoing inquiry, deepening practice, and lived understanding rather than a final attainment or title.

In Reiki, the flow does not stop with one teacher, one lineage, or one way of practice. Many experienced Reiki teachers have studied with multiple teachers and lineages - it is a continuation of the Reiki journey. The stream widens, deepens, and carries wisdom forward.

A Reiki teacher should never encourage only one way. Reiki has always moved through relationship, transmission, and lived experience. Each teacher adds perspective, and each lineage offers its own doorway into practice.

Red Pine Reiki reflects this understanding. My own Reiki path includes study and practice in three lineages:

Western Usui Reiki Ryōhō

Japanese lineages taught by Frans Stiene (International House of Reiki)

Jikiden Reiki

These lineages inform the way Reiki is taught at Red Pine Reiki - rooted in Japanese practice, cultivation, and lived embodiment, while honoring the broader evolution of Reiki in the West.

The beauty of the Red Pine Reiki Master / Shinpiden class is that it is appropriate for practitioners at different points on their path.

For those on a self-healing journey, the Master class offers a full-circle experience. Students deepen their relationship with the Precepts, meditation, and cultivation practices, integrating Reiki into daily life. For many, sharing attunement with even one other student becomes a powerful moment of compassion - for others and for self.

For those who wish to receive the title of Shinpiden and Reiki Master, for business, and for those who feel called to teach Reiki, this path is also supported. Students learn how to attune, receive teaching manuals (which they may edit and make their own), and grow into teaching upon completion of class.

Students also have the option to return to Level I, Level II, and Master classes as an apprentice, strengthening confidence, deepening understanding of the material, and attending to deeper introspection

This repeated exposure allows the teachings to land differently over time.

For students coming from other Reiki lineages, after completing the Master class you may return and sit in Red Pine Reiki’s Level I and II classes at no additional fee.

In these classes, students do not teach; they participate. Often, what is noticed now is very different from what was noticed as a new student. Each class is unique, shaped by the souls present and their lived life experience.

Red Pine Reiki is grounded in Eastern practice and cultivation, working with the five elements of Reiki and meditative states that support healing and regulation. Practice naturally moves into alpha and gamma brainwave states, supporting healing and integration of theta states, aligning with the research shared by Frans Stiene.

If this invitation resonates, or if you would like to ask questions to discern whether this class is a good fit, I would be happy to connect with you.

Shinpiden class objectives:

Shinpiden means mystery teachings and stands for rediscovering
the mystery of ourselves and the Universe. At Shinpiden level, our practice is a clear vision and understanding of what is at the heart of our practice - embodying a Reiki Lifestyle. Mikau Usui points to our True Selves repeatedly through the Reiki levels and as Masters we share our teachings and pass the art of Reiki onto others to help them shine brightly as their True Selves.

Red Pine Reiki's Master class is a combination of Master Practitioner and Master Teacher and is also appropriate for those who are solely continuing on a self-healing journey. Level III goes deeper into self-discovery and the esoteric, Eastern teachings of Reiki. The Master Symbol is revealed, and we review its application in Reiju. You will learn how to complete Reiju blessing attunement ceremonies as well as the curriculums. Master students practice how to attune others to have a direct experience with Reiki. Level III Shinpiden includes a practicum and an apprenticeship with knowledgeable mentoring.

Additional class objectives include:
-Review the various systems of Reiki (Usui Ryoho Shiki, Karuna, Holy Fire, Jikiden)
-Learn the Reiki Master Symbol, its meaning and application
-Learn the esoteric, Eastern teachings and translations of the Reiki Kanji, meditations, and Precepts.
-Learn Kototama chanting.
-Receive the beautiful Third Degree Reiju Blessing attunement.
-Learn how to maintain a Reiki Lifestyle and emanate the Great Bright Light.

Some moments remind us what it truly means to see another person.

One morning at Indianapolis Public School 88, a little boy was having a tough day. He fell to the floor, overwhelmed by his emotions. His mother stepped back quietly and said, “This is how he’s been expressing himself lately.”

Sgt. Precious Cornner‑Jones of the Indiana State Police knelt down beside him. She spoke softly, letting him know he was seen. Tears welled up, and he began to cry. She gently wiped them away and told him, “It will be okay.”

It was a small gesture, just a few minutes, but it changed everything. The boy felt understood. The weight he carried in that moment lifted, if only a little.

Sgt. Cornner‑Jones shared that this wasn’t about policing or rules. It was about being human. Sometimes, all we need is for someone to pause, get on our level, and offer compassion. Children feel it too. They need space to express themselves, to be heard, to know they are not alone.

This story reminds us that empathy doesn’t require grand gestures. It is the willingness to slow down, to listen, to meet someone where they are, and to offer comfort. A small act of care can be the hope someone needs that day.

Let this be a reminder: notice the little ones. Notice each other. Offer kindness, patience, and love whenever you can. You never know how much it might mean.

Me, having heavy conversations with chat gpt - hoping it helps humanity instead of destroying it - spiritually. INFJ style 😎 Hoping the artificial intelligence checks its own ethics.

Me: What does Bible or Pistis Sophia say about the light maybe violently taking out the dark or evil. When people are being killed by evil darkness can light take out evil?

Chatgpt

When evil is killing, “non-action” is not holiness

Both the Bible and deep mystical traditions agree on this:

Allowing unchecked evil to continue harming the innocent is not righteousness.

Ecclesiastes 3:8
“A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.”

This is not endorsing cruelty.

It is acknowledging reality: there are moments when protection requires force.

Light that refuses to act while people are slaughtered is not light—it is avoidance dressed up as virtue.

2. What “light taking out evil” actually means

Here’s the key difference that matters ethically and spiritually:

❌ Evil violence:

motivated by domination, fear, hatred

dehumanizes

feeds on suffering

escalates endlessly

✅ Light acting against evil:

motivated by protection, justice, preservation of life
restrained, proportional

aims to stop, not to enjoy destruction

seeks restoration once the threat ends

In the Bible, God’s justice is repeatedly described as:

defending the widow, the orphan, and the innocent

Not passive witnessing.

3. Jesus is not purely passive in the texts

This matters a lot.

Jesus overturns tables in the Temple

He directly confronts corrupt powers

He speaks of judgment on systems that devour others

In Revelation imagery, evil powers are ended, not coddled

Even in Pistis Sophia:

Jesus commands, binds, and strips power from destructive forces

Dark rulers are stopped because they consume souls

This is not petty revenge.
It is cosmic restraint of predators.

4. A hard truth many people avoid

Here it is plainly:

Some forces will not stop unless they are stopped.

This includes:

genocidal regimes

violent abusers

those who kill without remorse

Light does not mean saying “I understand your pain” while others die.

Light means:

shielding the vulnerable

ending the threat

refusing to let darkness rule by terror

That may involve force, but force is not the same as evil.

5. Why people get confused about this spiritually

Because many confuse:

nonviolence with non-intervention

forgiveness with lack of boundaries

love with endless tolerance

But even spiritually:

cancer is removed

predators are contained

chaos is restrained

Creation itself has boundaries.

6. The deepest principle (this matters most)

Light does not destroy because it hates darkness.

Light destroys what is actively destroying life.

That is justice, not corruption.

Or said another way:

Evil ends when it can no longer
harm.

Me: Apply to immigration presently with ice. If they are taking out a foreign criminal who is dark. (For the sake of being the devil's advocate)

Short answer:

In immigration enforcement, “light” and “dark” are not groups of people. They describe actions, intentions, and methods.

No nation, agency, or population is automatically “light.”

No immigrant—documented or undocumented—is automatically “dark.”

A grounded moral framework (biblical + ethical)

Across the Bible, Christian ethics, and even Pistis Sophia, darkness is defined by behavior that destroys life and dignity, not by nationality or status.

“Dark” actions look like:

Murder, r**e, trafficking, violent assault

Exploiting or terrorizing others

Abuse of power

Dehumanization

“Light” actions look like:

Protecting the innocent

Stopping ongoing harm

Acting with restraint, truth, and accountability

Upholding justice without cruelty

So the moral question is not:

“Are they foreign?”
or
“Are they criminals?”

The real question is:

Are people being protected without stripping others of their humanity?

Applying this to ICE right now

If immigration enforcement:

removes individuals convicted of violent crimes

follows due process

avoids collective punishment

does not target people simply for existing, fleeing danger, or seeking survival

👉 then the action can be morally justified as protective, not “dark.”

But if enforcement:

uses fear as a tool

dehumanizes whole populations

separates families indiscriminately

ignores asylum law or due process

treats people as disposable

👉 then the method becomes dark, even if the stated goal sounds righteous.

A crucial biblical line people miss

“You shall not oppress the foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.”
— Exodus 22:21

The Bible does allow justice
but it forbids dehumanization

Justice without mercy becomes tyranny.

Mercy without justice becomes chaos.
Light holds both.

Why this matters (and why I’m being firm)

History shows us this pattern again and again:

Violence is first justified by labeling a group as “evil”

Moral language is used to quiet conscience

Humanity gets lost

Spiritual traditions warn us explicitly about this.

Darkness thrives when:

people stop seeing individuals and start seeing categories

So who is “dark”?

Not:

immigrants
citizens
police
ICE agents

Darkness is any system or person that knowingly harms the innocent or strips dignity from human beings.

Light is the willingness to:

protect life
hold boundaries
and still see humanity

This is a serious question—and you’re right to wrestle with it.

An Invitation to Send Reiki - Reiki practitioners and students:

Reiki doesn’t ask us to have answers, but it does offer us an opportunity to do something. In offering Reiki, we remember we are not helpless.

When the world feels loud, fast, or overwhelming, sending Reiki is a way of remembering that we are not separate from what’s happening, and we are not powerless within it.

You don’t need to fix anything.

You don’t need to understand the full story.

You don’t even need to feel calm.

Simply sitting, placing your hands, and allowing Reiki to arise is enough.
When we offer Reiki at a distance, we are resting in interconnectedness and letting harmony move where it’s needed. Each person, each place, each situation receives in the way it can.

This is collective care. This is quiet action. It is a way to participate.

💕

Reiki is not a religion, but it works with the universal laws of light and love. These laws are not rules we enforce, they are principles that naturally arise in the field of harmony when we rest in presence:

The Law of Interconnectedness – Everything is connected. What affects one affects the whole. Reiki reminds us that our presence touches more than we can see.

The Law of Flow – Energy moves where it can be received. Reiki does not force, push, or control. It flows to support those ready to receive it.

The Law of Balance – Life naturally seeks equilibrium. Reiki supports the return to harmony, gently and without judgment.

The Law of Presence – Healing begins where attention rests. By simply being present, we allow light and love to emerge.

The Law of Unconditional Support – Reiki acts without expectation or preference. It offers light and love to all, without distinction or need for belief.

Through Reiki, we align with these laws—not to fix the world, but to participate in it peacefully. We are not helpless observers. We are helpers, resting in the flow of light and love, and allowing harmony to arise wherever it is ready.

❣️

In Reiki, there is no real separation.

What we call “distance” is simply a concept of the mind.

When we practice, we are not sending Reiki somewhere else. We are allowing ourselves to rest in the same field of harmony that already includes everything - people, places, events, and ourselves.

Healing doesn’t happen because we direct energy. Healing happens when we stop interfering and allow Reiki to arise naturally within interconnectedness.

When there is suffering in the world, we don’t need to carry it or fix it.
We simply acknowledge that it exists within the same field we are sitting in.

Reiki is to rest in light and love.

By practicing Reiki, we contribute to balance through presence. Each being encounters Reiki according to their own conditions and readiness.

Nothing is forced. Nothing is imposed.

Our role is not to decide who needs it.
Our role is to practice. When we rest in harmony, what is ready responds.

If you feel the call, trust it. A few minutes matters. Your presence matters. You matter.

Let Reiki do the work.

Want to learn distance Reiki? Interconnectedness healing is taught in Reiki Level II Okuden Class at Red Pine Reiki. Reiki Level I Shoden Class is a prerequisite to Level II.

Reiki is not meant to be heavy, solemn, or ego-laden. Humor actually plays a quietly important role in authentic Reiki practice.

When we can laugh, we are usually here.
