Mark Stallabrass writes:
"Natural healing uses channelled energies to heal physical, mental and emotional problems within us; however the majority of healing happens through a journey to our inner selves. By examining and understanding our beliefs, attitudes and physical and emotional problems, we can discover the truth about ourselves and thereby attain healing. Through self healing, we can become liberated and help ourselves to happy and fulfilling lives."
"I help people to read their chakras in guided meditation so that they can sense and understand their soul. This, together with listening to divine guidance, gives people a unique insight into themselves and how to proceed with healing. It is often the case that there are deep rooted attitudes and beliefs that will have to be worked on, releasing old fears, and this can heal old physical and emotional problems."
"There is much healing to be had from realising the truth about ourselves - the beauty and strength of our souls, the power and love of our higher selves (spirit) and the constant presence of our divine guidance. I guide people to understand how to effect positive change in their lives and relationships, and sort out sources of emotional turmoil or conflict."
"Healing always progresses at the right speed. Some healing can be quick and easy with the direction of Reiki healing, and other healing may take time; but all healing is done at the speed that is right for a particular person, since it is all done through the higher self and with divine guidance."
"Healing will bring about deep and profound positive change that can bring happiness and fulfilment on levels never previously experienced. Through many incarnations, our souls learn love and wisdom; our physical, mental and emotional pain resulting from internal conflict can be resolved with positive intent, wisdom and love. Through conscious effort to understand ourselves, release fears and embrace a new life, we can find true peace and happiness."
"Reiki (pronounced ray-key) healing is a practice that is probably thousands of years old. It is thought to have first been used by Tibetan Buddhist monks but was rediscovered in the late 1800s by Doctor Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist. The Usui system of Reiki is a very simple yet powerful form of healing which is easily given and received by anyone."
"Reiki means 'universal energy', and Reiki healing cannot be abused as is always for the greatest good. To become a Reiki healer you need an attunement from a Reiki Master. But although Reiki healing cannot be practiced without an attunement, it is not just an attunement that makes a good Reiki healer."
"Reiki is a wonderful gift that can help you to change your life for the better. By deciding to become a Reiki practitioner and receiving the Reiki First Degree attunement, you become directly connected to a powerful, divine healing energy source. Reiki is practised the world over by thousands, if not millions, of people and it is an absolutely safe and very powerful way of channelling healing energy."
"Reiki attunements are done at three levels:

Details
This two-day course is for a maximum of nine people and will take place in the peace and calm of the Ipswich Buddhist Centre. The course is a wonderful setting for the Reiki 1 attunement and provides a supportive, nurturing, non-judgemental and loving environment.
Clients will find out about their subtle energy centres (chakras) and find out how to read them and learn how they reflect the personality. Through guided meditation clients will be able to sense their chakras and will be guided to understand the relationship between mind, body and soul.
Clients will be guided to a greater self awareness and will receive powerful healing while releasing old issues and problems. Clients will gain personal insight and an understanding of how to take charge of their own healing process and their path to health, success and happiness.
Clients will receive the First Degree Reiki attunement and learn how to give Reiki healing treatments to themselves and others.
This course is not based upon any religion, cult or doctrine but is based on precepts of love, truth and wisdom as keys to progression. Respect and tolerance for the beliefs of those attending the course is essential, although clients are guided to challenge their beliefs and attitudes and find new insights into spiritual truth. Clients will be gently guided to a greater spiritual awareness, however the main emphasis of the course is on harmonising the relationships between mind, body and soul to achieve permanent healing.
To become a good healer involves more work on the self than on others. We heal more by who we are than what we do and I consider that Reiki first degree initiates have an opportunity to concentrate on their own self healing so that they can achieve greater balance. At Reiki level one I suggest that healing is not offered to other people on a professional basis but is restricted to friends and family.
Through self healing we can become liberated from those embedded attitudes and beliefs that hold us back and we can help ourselves to healthy, happy and fulfilling lives.

This course is for you if you have been initiated into First Degree Reiki and have made a sustained effort in your self-healing. If you are committed to continuing your journey of self-discovery and personal and spiritual growth you will enjoy the opportunities that this course presents for deep and profound change.
Reiki healing cannot be practiced without an attunement by a Reiki Master but equally it is not just an attunement that makes a good Reiki healer. The Reiki Second Degree is an initiation into further self-healing and healing others. I consider that at the level of Second Degree Reiki, initiates are preparing to give healing and spiritual advice and guidance to others and this course gives initiates competence and confidence to do this. Second Degree Reiki gives initiates a greater power and flexibility in their healing that brings potentially greater rewards. Students will learn advanced healing techniques and learn how to apply these is practice to help people to heal.
Students will learn to direct Reiki healing into the past, present and future and to any person, place or thing. Students will find greater understanding into healing principles and practices and will learn to unleash their healing power to bring love and peace to people Students will be given powerful healing using advanced techniques so that they can experience them and learn to practice them on others.
This course is taught over a period of twelve weeks in the peace and calm of the Ipswich Buddhist Centre. The course is a wonderful setting for the Reiki 2 attunement and provides a supportive, nurturing, non-judgemental and loving environment. The length of the course gives an ideal opportunity for students to undertake a further journey to release issues of their own with the help and support of a group. Students will be able to gain deeper personal insight and improve inner balance and happiness. The course includes spiritual practice to help and guide students to greater spiritual awareness. Students will find spiritual insight, understanding and growth and will be guided to create success and happiness in their lives. Students will learn confidence in having a professional approach to situations that they may encounter and will learn to work in an ethical manner. Should students wish to practice professionally they will learn about aspects of working as a professional healer.
This course is not based upon any religion, cult or doctrine but is based on precepts of love, truth and wisdom as keys to progression. Respect and tolerance for the beliefs of those attending the course is essential, although clients are guided to challenge their beliefs and attitudes and find new insights into spiritual and universal truth. Clients will be gently guided to a greater spiritual awareness, however the main emphasis of the course is on harmonising the relationships between mind, body and soul to achieve permanent healing.
