A Brief History of Angelic Reiki shared by Christine Core

Below is a simple chronological account of the events in the story of Angelic Reiki. My purpose in writing this is to create a statement, a narrative of simple facts so that anyone who is interested in seeking the truth might find it useful as a reference point. There is published Information on websites, Facebook and e-mails that is untrue. It is confusing and misleading to the public who are looking for Angelic Reiki workshops based on the founders’ lineage. It is only reasonable that those connected to, or interested in Angelic Reiki, should have a source to which they can refer and thereby come to an informed perspective. There are more personal aspects of this story in the Angelic Reiki book.

 

1987  The Harmonic Convergence triggers both Kevin and I onto a new life path causing major changes in our lives. We had not met at this time, but it was these changes that ultimately led to our life-paths converging and the birth of Angelic Reiki.

1987 to 1991  I take a four year professional training course in Homeopathy.

1991 to 1992  I open a multi-disciplinary healing centre for Alternative Medicine from which I run my full-time Homeopathic practice.

1992 to 1998  I receive attunements to Usui Reiki and Masters in Shamballa Reiki, take 3 courses in the Merkabah (2 in the US), take a 2 year post graduate course in Homeopathy, study Neo Reiki in India and other personal training.

1994 to 1998  I teach weekend workshops in Shamballa Reiki.

1996  Kevin and I meet through a masseur at the clinic who asks Kevin to help with the new computer, and I invite him to join my centre part-time as a healer. I start teaching the Merkabah and Kevin attends one of my classes.

1996 to 2002  We work together with Merkabah philosophy and hold a study group in Stratford-upon-Avon. We start a meditation group in the local community plus a weekly lecture group. We are also on the speakers list for groups throughout Yorkshire in Northern England. Kevin and I exchange healings, and he attends group meetings at my home. I take a journey to Tibet.

2002 to 2003  My family situation makes it possible for me to go travelling, so I book a round-the-world air ticket and pass the healing centre onto a colleague. My trip takes me around the world visiting many eastern countries. Kevin continues the groups that we had started and continues to do research. Based on his extensive reading of different philosophies: Hindu, Buddhist, modern western, Blavatsky and Alice Bailey and Western magical traditions, Kevin collects information and material. Putting this information together, he presents a weekend workshop to our meditation group. The feedback is very positive. Subsequent groups ask Kevin to write down the healing methods and other bits of information to create manuals to be given out at the workshops. These were the first manuals. They did not record any of the background philosophy behind the definition of angels, angelic collectives, our healing practice, nor the dowsing and use of Jan de Vries flower essences, all of which were part of the workshop. The groups also ask for certificates. Next there is a request to be taught how to teach this new ‘Angelic Reiki’. Kevin creates a manual for a teacher workshop. The teacher’s manual includes a description of the healing methods, the script for opening the space and attunements. There is no information written down as to how to teach the workshop, nor the philosophy on which it is based.

2003  The Universe contrives for Kevin to be invited to teach a 1st and 2nd Degree workshop in Malaysia at exactly the same time as my world trip takes me through the very same place. It is here that our friendship becomes a relationship. After Malaysia, I go to Japan to teach Shamballa Reiki and then come back to the UK.

On my return from my travels I hold the space with Kevin for the first Angelic Reiki Masters workshop, November 2003. Many of the group I already know from the meditation group we had set up in the 1990’s.

2004  Kevin and I co-teach Angelic Reiki.

Early in 2004 the need for more information in the manuals becomes very apparent, and to fill this gap we decide to write a book on Angelic Reiki. It is intended for this book to be part of the workshop’s student and teacher material. We are asked in an early workshop if the 1st and 2nd Degree workshop allows someone to professionally practice Angelic Reiki. Kevin gives the answer as ‘yes’. Energetically this is true. Information about pricing and charging is introduced verbally. The 1st and 2nd Degree manuals are not written with professional practice in mind, and there is no support material in the teacher’s manual.

Kevin and I made it clear right from the start that the spiritual philosophy of Angelic Reiki is based on what we termed ‘The Ancient Wisdom’ which, in a number of fundamental ways, is quite different from New Age Spiritual philosophy and traditional Reiki. The understanding of the spiritual philosophy and principles and practice of healing for Angelic Reiki is constantly deepening. It is the ‘Healing for Our Time’, as Archangel Metatron stated, and as such, is constantly developing in line with the present changes.

2005  Kevin and I start teaching Angelic Reiki over 7 days rather than over 2 weekends. The 5 days of the original 2 weekend workshops is not enough time in which to teach everything. We have now taught Angelic Reiki in Malaysia, Singapore, Greece and the United States.

Rena Guttridge, who created the Healer Foundation, comes to visit us during a workshop in Shipley, UK and accepts Angelic Reiki as a modality that she is willing to embrace within the Healer Foundation. This is affiliated to the BCMA in the UK.

Kevin and I relocate to Luxor Egypt.

We run an Angelic Reiki update workshop at which we announce that we are going to live in Egypt. A small group is formed to look after Angelic Reiki in the UK.

2006 to 2008  Angelic Reiki continues to spread very quickly both in the UK and worldwide and we travel extensively.

2008 to 2009  Kevin has been ill for some time and in the September of 2008, we return to the UK for medical support. I receive an email from a Master Teacher asking a question about one of the healing methods. It is a very basic question. It is a significant indication to us that more information needs to be written down and the standard of teaching is suffering as a result of this lack of information. I decide to set up a Q&A system inviting questions and sending detailed answers to everyone on our database list.

The book, which we realised was needed back in 2004, has still not been written due to many contributing factors, Kevin’s health being the main one. The inadequacy of the original manuals is evident and the Q&A’s make a good contribution to fill in the gaps. Information also comes to light that some teachers are presenting much shortened workshops with inadequate numbers, plus other issues, which means that new students are not always receiving all of the system.

2009  Kevin leaves this incarnation on 2nd June. I now have more time to focus on Angelic Reiki. I feel passionately that the greatest service I can do, and the best way to honour Kevin, is to make available to everyone all the information which we taught; all the information that would have been in the book had it been written in 2004.

In order to create recognised standards, I develop a Charter that states the criteria that Angelic Reiki needs in order to fulfil its Metatronic principles. These are based on spiritual ‘LAWS’. Teachers are invited to sign, agreeing that they embrace these as the spiritual principles that underpin Angelic Reiki. The purpose of this is to return to some basic acceptance of the structure so that there is a consistency in what is being offered to the public. Some teachers disagree with my doing this, and without consultation or contact with me, set up an Angelic Reiki Association. Angelic Reiki teachers around the world are invited to join. Their stated aim is to ‘teach Angelic Reiki as Kevin intended it to be and as written in the original manuals’. The person who organises this has never met, or worked, with either Kevin or I.

I start the process of writing 2 new manuals in order to include more of the information that Kevin and I had been teaching and introduce clear professional training and standards.

A new website for Angelic Reiki in the UK is set up giving information of the full system and a list of registered teachers and practitioners.

2010  I start to write the long awaited book about Angelic Reiki, its philosophy and teachings. The new website for Angelic Reiki in the UK is hacked and needs to be closed down.

2011  I extend teaching my workshop to 9 days in order to cover all the subjects more fully and to give teachers the opportunity to have practical experience of teaching and leading a healing exchange.

There are kind donations of funds to help create a new website for the UK.

2012  In January, the Angelic Reiki book is published and sold through Amazon and major book shops. In February, my 9 day workshop in Luxor is partially videoed which began a YouTube library, creating a resource for teachers and students.

2013 to 2020  The manuals are translated totally or partially into 16 languages and Angelic Reiki grows to be represented in some 37 countries.

2015  Angelic Reiki is introduced into Taiwan, starting a great flourish there, and into China. The process begins to create a new international Angelic Reiki website to include teacher details and contact information, and a multi-language app.

2018  The book is translated and published in Swedish.

2019  The book is published in Spanish and Portuguese with launches and interviews in Mexico City and Porto. A contract is proposed for translation and publication of the book in Italian.

 

PERSONAL COMMENT: When Kevin and I were in Sedona, Arizona, USA in the spring of 2008, we decided to look at property in that area and spent a couple of days with a Real Estate Agent. Our vision had always been for us to have a Foundation where all aspects of a healthy spiritual living would be taught. I was already a professional Homeopath and Kevin was looking at training in Naturopathy. The aspirations for our work were not fixed in ideas born in 2003. Ideas grow, understanding deepens, visions broaden. If they don’t, the work is dead and founded on shallow dreams. There are 3 substantial bodies of work and related workshops which together represent the work that Kevin and I created together: Angelic Reiki, Golden Heart Merkabah of Creation and New Shamballa. Our vision was always a broad and eclectic one. As mentioned above, the first manuals contained only elements of the workshops.

All our work was a joint vision and creation, and I am honoured to be the one here and now, to nurture and grow it.

If you are a member of another organisation but you would like to join this authentic lineage you would be very welcome. Please feel free to contact us.
