Reiki Share Group
Reiki Share Group in Wenvoe/Vale of Glamorgan.
What is Reiki? – Reiki is an ancient healing method that originated in Tibet but seemed to have disappeared from use until the 19th century, when Reiki was again used and practised in Japan by Mikao Usui and is now practised worldwide. It is not a religion nor does it subscribe to any one religious group but it nevertheless, in my opinion, does have a 'spiritual' aspect to its use.
Reiki is a natural and simple healing method which uses the hands of the practitioner to allow energy to flow through the body to heal.
Reiki can be used alongside other conventional or complementary treatment and often helps to provide emotional support during recovery.
The relaxing nature of Reiki can be very helpful to people especially at difficult times in our lives. We can all feel overwhelmed or disconnected, sometimes there is a real sense of isolation, both emotionally and spiritually. Reiki treatments can bring feelings of peace, centeredness and an ability to cope better with the challenges of life.
Reiki can be beneficial in circumstances that are short term, but can also support people dealing with long-standing conditions, helping to bring comfort, acceptance and a more positive outlook.
It is used to help with many ailments such as headache, stress, stomach disorder and aches and pains etc. But you should always consult a qualified medical practitioner if you think you have any illness.
Are you a Reiki Master/Teacher or attuned to Reiki 1 or 2? Come along and work and socialise with like minded people.
Would you like to come along and try a Reiki treatment, with the group, free of charge?
I have recently been made a Reiki Master/Teacher and am looking to form a Reiki Share Group to meet in Wenvoe.
The group will be non profit making with meeting subscriptions collected used to hire a hall and purchase small amounts of refreshments etc.
Any money made from ongoing Reiki treatments, as a result of membership of this group, will be donated to a Penarth based charity working in India.
This Reiki share is not a profit making venture.
The charity, HEAL UK & KISES UK, purchases food, daily for children working on rubbish tips and/or who are living in poverty and buys tents for them to have somewhere to sleep.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the share or would like to come along and find out more, please contact me:
Michael Edwards, Telephone 07403 700216, so that I can gauge interest in forming the 'share' and hold an initial meeting in Wenvoe

Mischief Makers
Wenvoe Community Library would like children aged 4 to 11 to have fun reading six library books during the long summer holiday. Children receive special rewards each time they finish a book and there's a certificate for everyone who completes the Challenge.
The Summer Reading Challenge 2018 is called Mischief Makers, inspired by the much-loved children's title Beano, which celebrates its 80th anniversary.
Children will explore a map of Beanotown to find the mysterious buried treasure and become ultimate mischief-makers! Dennis, Gnasher and friends will help them solve clues and collect stickers, having lots of fun and adventures along the way!
