Reiki Master Ira Margolis In 1978, I took a class on the Silva Method, which opened my eyes to the spiritual and mental potential all people possess. Since then, I have been searching for greater meaning in life and expanding my awareness of higher consciousness. In 1988, the process accelerated when I successfully manifested meeting my spiritual partner, Cyndie, who later became my wife. With her, I delved into alternative self-healing methods much more deeply. We attended various seminars and workshops that focused on different techniques and philosophies. I was still searching for something more that resonated with me.   In the summer of 1990, we discovered the healing power of Reiki while traveling in Colorado. I was ill, and the only healer in town was a Reiki Master who shared his wisdom and Reiki with me. I immediately felt better and stronger - well enough to take a class from him the very next day. After over a decade of searching for a healing technique, Reiki found me!   After taking Reiki I, I worked on myself for many months until I felt ready for Reiki II. I worked with that level of energy for a couple of years and then I felt ready to take the Master Level in 1992. I continued to use Reiki daily to accelerate my own personal healing and growth.   Today, I am committed to spreading a message of love and to teaching Reiki to anyone interested in this unique and natural healing method. I believe in spreading the truth of Reiki and in giving individuals and their families the self-healing tools and techniques that have so greatly helped me.   I would be honored to help you along your path of healing and self-actualization. I want to give back the gift that was given to me, the gift of healing, the gift of REIKI.

Reiki Master Cyndie Margolis My earliest experiences with alternative healing practices began when I was a teenager. At that time, my mom started going to Unity Church. I attended some of the services now and then, but I wasn’t an active church member. During that time, my mom learned a healing technique and shared it with me. I didn’t feel anything during that experience. Later, she also encouraged me to participate in hands-on healing when my step father was ill with cancer. After working on him, I felt very drained and tired - I later learned I felt so tired because I was giving him my personal energy.   While I didn’t gain much from these early hands-on healing experiences, they did open my eyes to the world of alternative healing. My mother instilled in me the benefits of natural healing methods. With her guidance, I discovered how acupuncture could heal a twisted and sore ankle. I also witnessed how vitamins, homeopathy, supplements, and herbs could help the body.   In college, I saw a chiropractor and massage therapist to resolve some back pain. A Chinese acupuncturist and herbalist helped me with various other physical ailments. These diverse natural healing methods helped me resolve many health conditions.   A few weeks before Ira and I were scheduled to attend a conference in Colorado, my mother introduced me to another alternative healing method. She had heard a talk about Reiki at her local Unity Church, which inspired her to take a Reiki I class. We were dining at a local restaurant when she offered to share Reiki with  me. I had a sore wrist that was giving me some trouble. She put one of her hands on my wrist and kept it there until our waitress showed up. I felt a tiny bit of warmth during the experience, but I didn’t notice any difference in the way my wrist felt afterward. I did not think much of it, and I maintained my skepticism about hands-on healing. Little did I know my views were about to change forever.    While at the conference in Crestone, Colorado, Ira fell ill. Because of my experiences with alternative healing, I asked our Bed and Breakfast hosts for information on local herbalists, homeopathists, or other natural health practitioners that could help us. They put us in contact with a local Reiki master, Bobby Nowell. After his arrival, he gave Ira immense relief in a short amount of time before he offered to share Reiki with me. My neck and shoulders were feeling very sore and tense. Afterward, I felt so relaxed and relieved – my stress melted away. We took the Reiki I class with Bobby the very next day, and I have been grateful for that experience ever since.   After working with the soothing Reiki I level energy for many months, I wanted to learn how to use Reiki at deeper levels and in different situations. I felt ready for that, and Bobby agreed I was ready to take the second level. I worked with Reiki II energy for 6 years, and it brought me considerable self-growth and healing. Bobby asked me if I was ready to take the Master Level class a couple of times over those years; but, I felt resistance and hesitation each time he asked.   Finally, in 1997, I felt no resistance or hesitation so I committed to taking the Master Level class. Ira and I flew back to Colorado in January of that year. I received my Master Level attunement in Estes Park, Colorado in a small sacred church. Since 1997, I have worked as both a Reiki practitioner and a teacher. About eight months after my Master attunement, a teenage girl asked me to teach her Reiki I. I put together a Reiki I Class for her, with the help of my Reiki Master and Ira. Afterwards, I decided to offer more Reiki classes to those who were referred or guided to find and work with me. I continue to train with Bobby to further my mastery of the practice.   Personally, Reiki energy has enhanced my mental clarity and brought about significant personal and spiritual growth. It has facilitated my understanding of and connection with my angels and spirit guides; enabled me to address and resolve unhealthy patterns, emotions, and issues; and deepened my insight into how to move forward on my individual path. As Reiki flows through me during the day, it helps me maintain balance and a sense of calm. I often find that I can accomplish my goals more easily than I did before Reiki came into my life.   My purpose is to move into a state of Being Light and to share that light with others. With the gentle energy of Reiki, I have assisted many people with various physical, emotional, and spiritual issues in their everyday lives. I love sharing Reiki with others and assisting them with Being Light.
