Reiki Workshop...
The delightful company of Alphamusic composer at Reiki Celebration Day
John Levine’s after-lunch workshop
"Full range"
In May 2007 at the ‘Reiki Celebration Day and Festival’, attendees experienced a taste of mediation, spiritual uplift and relaxation led by Australian Alphamusic composer, John Levine in his workshop. During the event, John explained what are brain waves, how they are connected to hormones and behaviour, how brainwaves, music and sound affect the mind and body.
The workshop started after lunch, which if you regularly give or listen to presentations, you will know can be fraught with difficulty. It is often called the ‘graveyard slot’, because attendees, replete with food, exhausted by a busy morning, can be as silent as a graveyard; many feel over tired and may not be sufficiently energized to respond to even the most lively and extrovert speakers. However this session proved to be very different.
John Levine began talking softly while he played ‘Silence of Peace’, and invited people to fall asleep if they needed to. The audience, including many regular conference attendees fully expected to do just that. Louise Cardon was there and after the workshop, reported: “The music was indeed soporific, but try as I could I remained alert, enjoyed the ambiance and felt invigorated. This was interesting for me as I usually fall asleep after lunch”. During his talk John Levine explained that when he played the music for stressed people, many would fall asleep, whilst those who were already relaxed would not. After the workshop, comments from Louise and others affirmed his observation. This was for John one of those moments when a listener suddenly understands and internalizes his explanation for themselves, when ‘the penny drops’ as though suddenly activating a slot machine or dukebox, and which John Levine recognizes amongst his listeners and clients as one of those ‘ah….ah moments’!
Louise contacted John again later. “In the week following his talk, having purchased his music, I played it for my clients and his statement has been verified again and again. For myself (using a different CD) I had the same reaction. Although I am normally stable emotionally, I do experience extreme tiredness in parts of the day and have to meditate to recharge. As a result of using his music my meditation periods have been shorter and I have been even more productive and helpful to my clients. For many years I have been searching for music which has the right balance of peace and interesting content so as not to be tedious and at last have found it!”
During the workshop session John invited everyone to hum or tone with the music and many joined in, resulting in a delightful interlude of each person coming together with Angelic sounds. Louise recalled that in the workshop, Tracey, who normally suffers from intense fear and panic, became the most peaceful and serene that anyone who knew her could ever have imagined. Kay Paterson, reiki practitioner, says that the workshop and getting to know John was one of the most wonderful things that has happened to her. “I very much enjoyed John’s talk and having purchased his entire collection. I have been playing the CD's for my clients with interesting and gratifying results. I have noticed that my energies have been enhanced too.” Many of the people who met John at that workshop are now using Alphamusic. One of the teachers from the school used as the event venue has found 'Silence of Peace ' to be very effective with one of her classes 'problem' pupils. She said, “Truly a wonderful meditation exercises and music!”
