A holiday revisit to the show Education and Service, Responsibility in the Practice is a reminder that EVERYTHING we do, say, feel, and think affects EVERYTHING and EVERYONE else. The holidays are an excellent time to practice being present…challenging…yet enormously informative in how we handle stress. Let’s do this!

Sunday December 7th, 2014. 6 pm Pacific Time  (347) 677-0699  Join Sifu Restita and Sifu Robert as they ponder the question "Just what IS a Master, anyway?" What is a Master? Not just in Martial Arts, but rather, in life? Does someone have to be a Mr. Miyagi figure to be considered a "Master"? We know that "Master" rank involves decades of practice, but even though someone is a Grandmaster in rank, do they carry over into having mastery over themselves?  There is so much bickering in our martial arts community lately....rather than bicker, couldn't Masters just control their perceptions and responses to life and difficult people? Is it one's ego responding to others, or are they reacting to actual insults? Do they respond in confidence, in anger, or chooseto not respond at all? Are we all doing our best to master ourselves?.....because we are all faces of martial artists to the non-martial arts world. Call us at (347) 677-0699 at approximately 6:30 pm Pacific time (after our news and announcements segment)

Yes!  Tune in, observe, learn, and respond to your mental/emotional self because being present with your feelings is valuable.  Recognizing and analyzing what your emotions, coupled with knowing what you FEEL, can help you make better decisions and contribute to maturing in this lifetime.

In the spirit of gratitude let’s revisit using reflection and humor in our practice.  Part of realizing how far we have come in our lives comes from looking at the path we have woven. Reflection coupled with laughter, a proven healer, we will only gain and continue to progress by practicing these regularly.

Reiki for Alzheimer’s, Depression, Anxiety, Caregiver Stress, Pain Scientific validation of the effectiveness of Reiki has helped bring this method more and more to the mainstream, where it is able to aid patients in many realms. There are several vital areas where Reiki and other touch/energy therapies significantly aid people with dementia and their caregivers.  The first is that there is an indication from published, peer-reviewed research that Reiki can help address memory issues in people with mild cognitive impairment and mild Alzheimer’s. There are also several other published studies that demonstrate that Reiki helps both depression and anxiety both among people with chronic medical issues, as well as in those do not.  One of the often reported outcomes of Reiki treatment is a state of calm relaxation.  In that dementia patients can have problems with agitation, Reiki’s calming influence can be greatly appreciated. Dementia patients often have other significant medical issues that might cause them

All we have is now…heard that before, right?  Well it is the truth.  Now is as real as it gets.  Now is where there is power for choice and change.  We get the gift of the present.  Today we talk about the practice and how we can decide in each moment to really make life count…make it matter…even if sometimes it means the choice we make is to leave our “to do” list aside!

  SUNDAY 11/16/2014,  11 am Pacific Time. SUNDAY BRUNCH SHOW!  (347) 677-0699 We've seen it in any activity....the Ego that demands recognition and respect. We all have Ego, but some have bigger ones than others, to the point of inflated self image, a sense of superiority over anyone, and an attitude where everyone should know who you are. How does Ego affect martial arts training? Or even teaching martial arts? Is humility all that it's cracked up to be? We'll  discuss these questions and more, so join us for the conversation! Give us a call or listen live on Blogtalkradio.com!

Robert first started practicing Reiki in 1996 at the age of twenty one. He developed an interest in learning more about the system of Reiki and quickly realized that few people were teaching Reiki as practiced and taught by Hawayo Takata (Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho). He was drawn to Takata's teachings by inner guidance and by the fact that her teachings were clear, simple, and effective. Robert has studied with some of Takata's Master students and several other teachers who still practice Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho. Robert founded The Reiki Preservation Society (www.TheReikiPreservationSociety.org) to preserve Hawayo Takata’s teachings for future generations to learn. Robert is a member of and archive team member for the Reiki Alliance (www.ReikiAlliance.com). In addition, Robert is a Licensed Acupuncturist by the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure and is Nationally Certified in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (http://www.nccaom.org).

Let’s talk about using our senses in the practice.  We cover both the figurative use of the phrase “come to your senses” as well as, discuss and do a practice that hones in on our actual five senses (literally.)  It is amazing what one can discover when paying attention to our senses in EVERY way.

Sunday November 2nd, 6 pm Pacific/9 pm Eastern Join Sifu Restita and Sifu Bob as they have an open discussion about "Pet Peeves of Martial artists" Let's face it, we all have things that annoy us.

Call in to join the fun conversation and let's talk about YOUR pet peeves too!  (347) 677-0699 is our call in number. Anyone welcome to join in, regardless of experience in martial arts. We want to hear from all sorts of arts, BJJ, Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Arnis, etc.  We'll start discussing martial arts pet peeves at 6:30 pm. Sifu Restita will start: Pet peeves.....When people say "numchucks" or "chucks"  instead of "nunchaku"....If you're going to say you know how to use them, use the correct term!! When self proclaimed weapons masters wear hakama incorrectly. What's YOURS??

Brett Bevell is author of several books, including Energy Healing for Everyone, New Reiki Software for Divine Living, The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-Attunement, and Reiki For Spiritual Healing. A poet and performance artist, he is also author of America Needs a Woman President and America Needs a Buddhist President, a poem that initially aired nationwide on NPR’s All Things Considered. Since receiving his Reiki master initiation in 1995, Bevell has dedicated himself to discovering new Reiki techniques that work collaboratively with the higher self. These simple techniques are not only highly effective, but also shift Reiki into a practice of daily living that can transform even the most mundane aspects of our lives into works of healing.

We all know the expression “trust your gut” and today we will talk about what this means in the practice.  Energy centers, called chakras, are throughout our bodies with seven main ones running up the spine.  Knowing how to move and feed our bodies, and well as listen to the signs of needed attention, help us continuously balance all of our systems (immune, endocrine, nervous, etc.). Bringing our attention to our bodies from the solar plexus down to our toes (1st-3rd chakra) allows for a grounded, clean, healthy body that is centered in personal power.  We all know the expression “trust your gut” and today we will talk about what this means in the practice.  Energy centers, called chakras, are throughout our bodies with seven main ones running up the spine.  Knowing how to move and feed our bodies, and well as listen to the signs of needed attention, help us continuously balance all of our systems (immune, endocrine, nervous, etc.).
