If you have ever taken a Reiki class with Frans, you know how amazing it is! Your first experience is beyond any class you have ever taken. Number one, Frans himself is such an engaging, animated, and interesting person full of fiery passion and popping with energy. He shares freely and openly about his own experiences with life and Reiki. Plus, he himself still has a teacher in Japan who he sees regularly to stay true to his practices.
Secondly but certainly not secondarily, the deep wisdom and experiential knowledge that Frans shares is mind blowing. You know by the end of the weekend that not only has your knowledge base grown but that you have opened and expanded energetically.
Shinpiden means mystery teachings. So we come with the desire to become Reiki teachers to others and leave Frans’ class with the deeper realization of who we truly are and our Oneness with Reiki itself and all of life. In class we practice getting in touch with this energy in ourselves and we get to practice this interconnectedness with one another. You can only imagine the amount of love vibration that is generated by the end of three days of class. Personally, I have sat Shinpiden with Frans three times and been with him at one retreat and one conference! I keep returning because he IS my teacher and invites us into a space of SELF-discovery and SELF-reflection. This is where I can truly experience what is my relationship with my True Self now. How have my practices of reciting or chanting the Reiki Precepts, and building my groundedness and stillness through my hara breathing meditations grown me? How much more patient and compassionate and less disturbed by anyone in the room or in my world am I? How long can my mind remain undistracted during the many hours of class time? Or how more quickly can I mindfully notice when I have become distracted by thoughts of food, other students, bright ideas, etc, and return to myself? It is my commitment to live and express myself as a true embodiment of Reiki. Frans’ way is to offer, especially through his Shinpiden class, generous practices to support this commitment for us all. Since this is the truth, we might just want to keep coming back!
