Description
Jay is a Reiki Master/Teacher and Feng Shui Consultant living
in a sleepy village, just outside Bath, with his wife and
two children.
His journey into the world of energy started with learning
Reiki.
Although he is a spiritual person he had never really been
interested in that side of things. He's more of an amateur
scientist, with a Degree in Computer Science and an interest
in Quantum Physics and the like.
Jay's best friend of many, many years led him to study Reiki.
He had started using energy healing in his physiotherapy
practice and was constantly telling Jay how wonderful it
was. Having spent a number of years training in Kung Fu,
Jay knew that it took Chi Kung masters 20 to 30 years to
be able to heal anyone with their own internal energy and
he just didn't see how one could learn to do the same thing
in a weekend.
After searching the internet to find not too 'wacky' a course
he found Taggart King. He went along to his pre-booked Reiki
I course (with Celest Hartley, a teacher for Taggart) as
a sceptic and came away rather bemused and confused as to
what was going on. During the day he had definitely felt
energy, but put that down to his mind playing tricks on
him. Whilst driving home, however, he realised that the
bad back he had started the day with was gone. Again he
just put that down to coincidence. When he arrived home
his wife, Jo, was laid out on the sofa, unable to move,
also with a bad back. Before calling the doctors they decided
to try his new found Reiki skills. This was the turning
point of his life - yes you guessed it, it worked and she
recovered.
Still not totally convinced (he's a hard man to please!)
Jay then spent a whole year in full-time Reiki mode. He
carried out literally hundreds of treatments, all for free,
just to find out if this thing was real or if it was just
all in our minds. In the end he had to accept that something
amazing was happening. During this time he also took the
Reiki II and Reiki Master/Teacher levels.
The effects of Reiki on Jay has also been amazing. He is
so much more calm and centred. Nothing phases him anymore.
Jay sees the world in a completely new way and is enjoying
every day. He feels he is finally on the right path on his
own spiritual journey.
After the 'trial' year was over Jay set up his own Reiki
Practice working from a local Doctors Surgery and from several
rooms in and around Bath. He has had, and continues to have,
very positive results with the following conditions: ME,
MS, asthma, depression, stress, lack of energy, the common
cold, headaches, blocked sinus, back pain, hip pain, knee
injuries, broken wrist, sciatica, insomnia, nervousness,
panic attacks, past events, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis
elbow, joint pain, arthritis, stomach problems, and much
more.
Jay does not consider himself a 'healer', nor is he 'clairvoyant'.
In fact he has had to work very hard at increasing his sensitivity
to energies and becoming more and more intuitive. He doesn't
use 'spirit guides' and has never felt any other presence
during his healing sessions. He has treated and trained
people who have guides and is open-minded about this - he
has learnt that seems to be the best way!
Jay now runs courses from his home near Bath, where he teaches
others the joy of Reiki - and loves doing so. His home is
set in a sleepy village, surrounded by beautiful countryside,
which adds to the experience. For a list of B&B's close

page.
Each training day is different and some of the questions
asked of Jay by his students really makes him think! It
forces him to ask himself what he truly believes - a new
and welcome experience. "It's a wonderful moment
seeing a student feel the Reiki energy for the first time.
It reminds me how I felt that first time."
Jay believes in a simple, no-nonsense approach to Reiki,
and as such he likes the training days to be fun & informative
and at the same time calm & supportive.
After the day is over it doesn't stop there; He doesn't
want any of his students to feel isolated or confused, so
they can call or email him anytime if they have any concerns
or questions. Jay sends out a Reiju Empowerments on a weekly
basis to each of his students, and they also get the chance
to join a dedicated discussion group with over 1,000 Reiki
members. He also runs free monthly Reiki Share evenings
at his home, where he gets together and discusses Reiki
with his students, and other Reiki people, and carries out
Empowerments and distant healings.
In Jay's experience Reiki can be learnt by anyone. He has
taught over 130 people to date and all of them are
able to experience Reiki!
Reiki is not something we need to be 'attuned' to, it is
something we are already a part of. We just need a little
help in accepting that fact and a little help in knowing
how to handle this new energy and this new way of seeing
life and the world around us.
