So now starts a very exciting and fast learning curve for me. Firstly i had to no if i was dreaming,or was my own mind making it up.So to find out more on the subject, i started looking for answers in books. I was drawn to two books to read by Sylvia Brown an American Psychic, which in her second book ,she described the garden i found myself in perfactly. And as i had no dealings with this type of thing before it was good confirmation that the garden and what happen was very really and all that following in the next six mouths of mediations was very really.
In one of my meditations, my guide told me what I should be doing with my life ,working with Crystals. Which to me felt very right, when i was told this,and i knew it was part of my life path which i had to follow from now on. Even if to my present knowledge, I knew nothing about crystals.
But this would all change after I took the leap of faith in God.Then doors open and lots of things came to me, all of which was prepare me for this life path.
So to find out more and lean things that would help me I first started at Spiritual churches for more answers, joining open and close circles. I did a one day workshop with Tony Stockwell, in Mediumship.Then I when to a place called The Arthur Finley College which runs courses on
All things spiritual, I did two 5 day courses the first with Brenda Lawrence "Call awareness week", and second course which was after I had my attunement to Reiki 2 and that course was another 5 days on Trance Healing with Steve Upton.
My Reiki path was again due to my guides I had pick up a leaflet on Reiki Attunements and had no idea why, but about 3 month later I was working on my computer and was told (phone now ) which I knew by now to take an notice of and I knew what it meant . So i booked for my Reiki 1 attunement with Jenny McLean and also did my Reiki 2 with Jenny.After this more doors opened and I did and a 2 year crystal course with
Shirley O'Donoghue at Lucis College a member of Affiliation ofCrystal Healing Organisations. I also did my Reiki Master/Teacher with Shirley.
In my job now selling Crystals I meet a man, from Nepal he was an ex soldier in Gurkhas. And he became friend of mine and he invited me to come to Nepal and stay with his Family. Which at the time seem that I would never be able to found the money to fly out there, but as usually the money appeared at the right time? Now I Have no idea why am going apart from he had invited me, and its Kathmandu.
But After a week there my friend asks if I would go and see his brother. His brother is a Reiki Master /Teacher and a Yoga Master and as been training from the age of 8 years old, by the way he is 42 year old now. So I go to see him and he explains that he uses crystals but he does not know how they work. And he asked me to show he, so all that morning I put him in grids/webs so he could feel and understand the nature of crystals. At about midday he said he now understands how the work.
And this afternoon would I like to do mediation with him and said okay. And he explained what we would do, he said we would do a sample 21 OM then we would sat in silence for about half and hour and then do 3 Om to come back to the room, which sound good to me.
What did not know that each OM would be about 2 OR 3 minutes long, after about the 6th Om I had the hang of it. So in the silence Meditation after a little time I was no longer in the room any more I found myself standing about 10ft from a man sitting in the Lotus position, which after all of the things that I had experience in my own mediations was not strange, but the thing was that this man that had small amount of clothing on, and was from head to toes all his skin was blue and am stand there near him saying how can you be blue.
Then his head turn slightly to look at me and as he did, from beside him there is a pond and from this pond a white Lotus flower fly’s out over his head and going straight into me, and as quick as a flash after the lotus flower went in me I was back in the room. After the mediation had finished I explained to my friend brother what had happen and he said to me he knew what it all meant smile at me and walk away. So it was for me to find out what it all meant. When i coming back to England I found out more about what I had seen.
I am now going to took of my Reiki path,and the type of Reiki i was first trained in, which is what is called western Reiki. The core of the Reiki system is Usui Makao's, but some things have been added and things have been lost coming to the west or never been given or kept as secrets in Japen. And at Master/Teacher Level my thoughts were there must be more for my own spiritual path than the teaching I have.
Which again doors opened and the people that drawn to me.This time it was Bronwen and Frans Stein of the International House of Reiki. They were teaching techniques that they had been given by Doi Hiroshi a current member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Japan. So I did a 3 Day Master/Teacher course with them. I was given a new lineage line to Usui Mikao by attunements.Learnt new attunement technics and about the daily practices that are done in Japan, for example the polishing the 3 diamond practice and more, which are all linked to Tendai and Shingon Esoteric Buddhist practice in Japan. And this was ware my trip to Nepal came back in the Blue Being I saw how was the Blue Healing Buddha of Tibet (Medicine Buddha).
Which then lead me to learn with Master Yu Tian Jian (a living Buddha) from china who was on a visit to this country. And I have trained in
Prajna Akasagarbha means "wisdom hidden in space." The sixteen moves involve the sixteen mudras of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva's Dharma practice.
The Medicine Buddha Extinguish Disaster & Prolong Life Dharma meditation practice has always been a core teaching of the Buddhist Mystery School. Practitioners have used this dharma for healing, for protection, for the prevention of illness and disease, as well as to extinguish disaster, extend life, and bring forth good luck.
This some dharma practices requires an abhis' eka transmission from a Vajra-Acharya . The beginner depends on the Dharma Lineage to perform the techniques in this dharma practices. There are five techniques in this teaching:
I also learnt Uccussma Sutras and practices which i had to have abhis'eka transmissions for.And i have became a disciple of Master Yu Jian from the Hanmi School of Esoteric Buddhist in China.

And so this a little about me I hope I have not bored you to much many thank for reading down this far

Reiki Lineage
My Reiki Lineage is traceable back to Usui Mikao as follows:
What does a Lineage Mean?
The Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage as taught by John Spillman aims to reflect the practices that were taught by Usui Mikao during his lifetime. The more research that is completed into this area, the more the teachings develops - it is an ongoing study. There are two areas in which the as teacher I continue this study
One is in practical manual research where books are read, people are contacted etc ... and ideas are pieced together. This also includes studying with different teachers who offer their own insight into the field that is being researched. Choosing a teacher is very important as the teachings must support development rather than sidetrack it
The second area of study is in personal practice. One cannot understand an energetic practice without development. Without a direct experience of an energetic system only a rational, and therefore limited, understanding is gained.
The combination of these two areas creates the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage as taught by John Spillman. It is the entire teachings that are being handed down - energetic and practical. These reflect the oneness that is achieved by connecting mind (experiential) and body (practical) - both must be utilised to gain a complete understanding of the teachings. I offer teachings that are energetically strong and also technically insightful and truthful. It is this package as a whole, our lineage that we pass on to you.
