Come molti di voi sanno già il Reiki è una delle varie tecniche che offro nel mio studio olistico Abundy, e ho avuto la fortuna di impararlo dalla mia insegnante Claudia Bondi. Claudia è una donna forte, vivace, positiva e un’ottima maestra. Grazie a lei non solo ho scoperto il mondo del Reiki, ma mi ha anche introdotto ad altri nuovi metodi di guarigione olistica (fra cui l’Allineamento armonico vertebrale) che vorrei condividere con voi lettori.

  1. Ciao Claudia e grazie per aver accettato questa intervista sul blog di Abundy! Partiamo da una domanda di base: quali trattamenti olistici offri nel tuo studio a Parma?

Grazie dell’invito! Principalmente trattamenti di Reiki e di Allineamento Vertebrale. Mi piace offrire anche altri metodi e per questo mi avvalgo di altri operatori olistici che possono praticare qui da me dalla riflessologia plantare alla Kinesiologia, massaggi e Shatsu, ma anche corsi di yoga e meditazione!

  1. Quando e perchè ti sei avvicinata al mondo del Reiki?

Sinceramente ho partecipato al primo corso Reiki tanti anni fa e….per curiosità! Non avevo mai sentito pronunciare la parola Reiki, quando, al termine di una seduta da una bravissima psicologa che mi seguiva in un periodo difficile della mia vita, dalla bocca di questa meravigliosa donna sono uscite spontaneamente queste parole: ”Ti vedo Master Reiki!”. Era tanta la stima per questa dottoressa che mi sono iscritta al mio primo corso a Milano, senza sapere assolutamente nulla di ciò che andavo ad imparare. Devo dire che al termine del corso, da persona estremamente razionale quale ero, balenava in me la frase “questi sono tutti matti!”. Arrivata a casa ho provato a fare un esperimento pratico. Dietro suggerimento di uno dei presenti al corso, ho preso un paio di orecchini, per me estremamente allergici e che non riuscivo ad indossare per oltre 10 minuti. Ho tenuto gli orecchini fra le mani inviando Energia per qualche minuto. Poi li ho indossati e… mi sono dimenticata di averli addosso! Nessuna reazione! Rimasi stordita dalla straordinarietà della cosa e scossa all’idea che allora forse non erano poi così matti come pensavo.

E da lì, da questa piccola cosa mi si è aperto un mondo: ho iniziato a farmi auto trattamenti, in particolar modo alla mia spalla, per la quale avevo già prenotato l’operazione al tendine un paio di mesi dopo. Di giorno in giorno il dolore alla spalla diminuiva! A pochi giorni dalla data fissata per l’intervento non avevo più male…. e ho annullato l’operazione! Cosa per me ancora “strana”, ma funzionava! Ho così preso via via maggiore fiducia, tanto che ho continuato il percorso partecipando anche al corso di secondo livello Reiki. E questo per me è stata la “salvezza”. Mi aspettava un periodo molto duro. Mio marito perse la vita in un tremendo incidente e mi sono trovata a terra per il dolore e per la situazione economica disastrosa. Grazie al Reiki e alle letture di Grandi Maestri, ho lavorato su tante cose e quindi vissuto il miracolo della trasformazione del dolore in Amore, in Gioia, in Pace!

  1. Com’è nata la tecnica dell’allineamento armonico vertebrale?

È stato talmente importante per me il Reiki che è nato il desiderio di divulgare il più possibile. Così ho terminato il percorso fino a diventare Master Reiki, mi sono licenziata dal mio lavoro stabile ed ho aperto la Partita Iva, creato il mio sito per tenere corsi Reiki e praticare trattamenti. L’Universo mi ha risposto, i clienti arrivavano, erano felici, mi ringraziavano! Poi un giorno è venuta da me per partecipare al corso di Master Reiki una ragazza di Bologna. Durante la giornata siamo entrate in confidenza e mi informò che lei praticava l’Allineamento Divino. Non avevo mai sentito parlare di questa “tecnica”, grazie alla quale tramite la canalizzazione di un messaggio il corpo si riallinea. In quel periodo avevo dei seri problemi alla mia colonna vertebrale, operata tanti anni prima, ma che presentava ancora una evidente rotazione del bacino di 5 cm. Il giorno seguente decisi di andare da lei a ricevere l’Allineamento.

E’ stata un’esperienza meravigliosa! Immediatamente mi sono allineata, la zona lombare della mia schiena è diventata leggera, una sensazione bellissima. Felice di questa scoperta mi interessai per diventare anch’io operatrice di questo metodo, ma ahimè, i corsi erano troppo cari per me. Una spesa assolutamente impossibile per le mie tasche! Ho quindi rinunciato, felice comunque di poter proporre ai miei clienti questo trattamento indirizzandoli verso l’operatrice che lo aveva fatto a me.

Finchè un giorno, presa dal dispiacere per una ragazza che sapevo soffrire molto e per la quale mi sentivo impotente, anche per il suo rifiuto verso questi metodi alternativi, ho aperto il mio cuore e durante una meditazione ho chiesto: ”Come posso convincere questa ragazza ad andare a Bologna a ricevere l’allineamento? Ho io il diritto di insistere per cercare di convincerla?”. Inaspettatamente mi è arrivata una potente “Voce” da non so dove suggerirmi: DEVI FARLO TU! Tanto forte che ho risposto, anche un po’ indispettita, a voce alta “EH GRAZIE, E COME FACCIO SE NON POSSO FARE IL CORSO???” e mi sono “arrivate” tutte le spiegazioni!

  1. Incredibile e meraviglioso Claudia, cosa succede quando siamo connessi all’ Energia! In termini pratici, cosa può aspettarsi un cliente durante una sessione di allineamento?Serve una preparazione prima? E’ doloroso?

Le aspettative a mio parere non giocano a favore! Posso solo basarmi sulle esperienze e dare delle indicazioni, ma è bene ricordare che non c’è manipolazione né contatto fisico…quindi può solo fare bene, ma quanto lo si può vedere solamente dopo. Gli operatori sono solo canalizzatori di un potente messaggio di guarigione, non la fanno essi stessi e quindi non dipende loro. Possiamo solo dire che normalmente i benefici sono immediati e il cambiamento del corpo è evidente e misurabile. È difficile comprendere tutto ciò con la nostra piccola mente…per questo invito a leggere sul sito le testimonianze e vedere le foto del “prima e dopo”. Ma ripeto è bene non fare promesse e non avere aspettative, ma rimanere semplicemente aperti a ricevere tutto il bene che può arrivare!

Non serve alcuna preparazione prima del trattamento, e non è affatto doloroso. Generalmente durante il trattamento si avvertono delle sensazioni, ad esempio come se qualcuno ti tirasse una gamba, come se un peso se ne andasse, come se ci attraversasse un’onda, ecc.

  1. Chi può ricevere l’allineamento e trarne beneficio?

Tutti possono ricevere l’allineamento e trarne benefici, dai bambini agli anziani, persino gli animali! I benefici non si limitano a tutto il corpo fisico (non soltanto sulla colonna vertebrale),

ma ovviamente sono coinvolti tutti gli altri nostri corpi: il corpo emozionale, mentale, spirituale, ecc.

Mi sono limitata a chiamarlo “Vertebrale” perchè è la parte visibile e misurabile. Viene canalizzato un messaggio di guarigione generale che può arrivare a qualunque parte del corpo che ne ha bisogno.

  1. Chi può diventare operatore e di conseguenza insegnare e offrire l’allineamento? Servono pre-requisiti?

Tutti coloro che desiderano diventare operatore sono i benvenuti! Per chi già “sente” di canalizzare energia non deve fare nulla prima del corso. Invece a coloro che ancora non hanno tale percezione consiglio di partecipare ad un corso Reiki, qualunque scuola può andare bene, e fare un periodo di pratica, finchè non si raggiunge la consapevolezza di sentire l’Energia.

  1. Come è cambiata la tua vita grazie al Reiki e all’allineamento?

Sono stati un grandissimo aiuto per la mia crescita, sono più vicina all’Amore, alla Gioia e alla Pace.

  1. Come è cambiato il modo di lavorare nel tuo studio a causa del Covid?

Lascio fluire. Il fatto di aver sospeso tante attività, come lo yoga, gli incontri di gruppo per le meditazioni e le serate di “scambi Reiki” lascia il posto ad altro…e va bene così! Tanta meditazione, tante letture, tante preghiere e Luce per la trasformazione che avverrà!!!!

  1. Esatto, purtroppo in questo periodo bisogna cercare più che mai di reinventarsi e vedere i lati positivi che ci stanno accanto, e penso tu ci sei riuscita e riuscirai ancora alla grande. Grazie ancora per la tua disponibilità!

La storia di Claudia, specialmente in questo periodo che tutti stiamo vivendo, ci insegna a connetterci all’Energia, a trasformare un periodo negativo in un insegnamento positivo e ad aver fiducia nell’Universo. L’Allineamento armonico vertebrale è un dono meraviglioso e vi assicuro un’esperienza unica da provare. Sono io stessa intenzionata nel prossimo futuro a fare il corso dopo averlo provato su me stessa con risultati molto positivi.

As many of you already know, Reiki is one of the various techniques I offer in my holistic studio, and I was lucky enough to learn it from Claudia Bondi. Claudia is a strong, lively, positive woman and an excellent teacher. Thanks to her I not only discovered the world of Reiki, but she also introduced me to other new methods of holistic healing (including the Harmonic spinal alignment) that I would like to share with you readers.

1. Hi Claudia, thank you for accepting this interview for the Abundy’s blog! Let’s start with a basic question: what holistic treatments do you offer in your practice in Parma?

Thanks for the invitation! Mainly I offer Reiki and Spinal Alignment treatments. I also like to offer many other healing methods and for this I ask other holistic therapists to join me here in my studio. They can practice foot reflexology, kinesiology, massages and Shatsu, but also yoga and meditation courses!

2. When and why did you approach the world of Reiki?

Honestly, I attended the first Reiki course many years ago and…. just out of curiosity! I had never heard the word Reiki pronounced when, at the end of a session with a talented psychologist who followed me in a difficult period of my life, these words spontaneously came out of her mouth: “I see you Master Reiki!”. The esteem for this doctor was so great that I enrolled in my first course in Milan, without knowing absolutely anything about what I was going to learn. I must say that at the end of the course, as an extremely rational person I was, I thought evryone was crazy! When I got home I tried to do a practical experiment. At the suggestion of one of those present at the course, I took a pair of earrings, extremely allergic to me and which I could not wear for over 10 minutes. I held the earrings in my hands sending energy for few minutes. Then I put them on and… I forgot I was wearing them! No reaction! I was stunned by the extraordinary nature of it and shocked at the idea that then maybe those people weren’t as crazy as I thought.

And from there, a whole new world opened up: I started treating myself, especially on my shoulder, for which I had already booked a tendon operation a couple of months later. Shoulder pain decreased day by day! A few days from the date set for the surgery I was no longer in pain…. and I canceled the operation! Still “strange” for me, but it worked! I thus gradually gained greater confidence, so much so that I continued the path by also participating in the second level Reiki course. And this for me was “salvation”. I was living a tragic period of my life: my husband had recently lost his life and I found myself on the ground for pain and for the financially disastrous situation. Thanks to Reiki and the readings of Great Masters, I have worked on many things and therefore experienced the miracle of the transformation of pain into Love, into Joy, into Peace!

3. How was the Harmonic spinal alignment technique born?

Reiki was so important to me that the desire to divulge as much as possible was born. So I finished the path to become a Reiki Master, I quit my stable job and I became self employed, created my site to hold Reiki courses and practice treatments. The Universe answered me, the customers came, they were happy, they thanked me! Then one day a girl from Bologna came to me to attend the Reiki Master course. During the day she informed me that she was practicing Divine Spinal Alignment. I had never heard of this “technique”, thanks to which the body realigns itself through the channeling of a message. At that time I had serious problems with my spine, which had been operated on many years before, but which still showed an evident rotation of the pelvis of 5 cm. The next day I decided to go to her to receive the alignment.

It was a wonderful experience! I immediately aligned, my lower back became light, a beautiful feeling. Happy with this discovery, I became interested in becoming an operator of this method too, but unfortunately the courses were too expensive for me. An absolutely impossible expense for my pockets! I therefore gave up, still happy to be able to offer my clients this treatment by directing them to the operator who had done it to me.

Until one day, gripped by sorrow for a girl I knew was suffering a lot and for whom I felt powerless, I opened my heart and during a meditation I asked: “How can I convince this girl to go to Bologna to receive the alignment? Do I have the right to insist on trying to convince her?”. Unexpectedly I heard a powerful “Voice” from I don’t know where saying: YOU MUST DO IT! So loud that I replied, even a little annoyed, “THANK YOU, AND HOW DO I DO THAT IF I CAN’T AFFORD THE COURSE ???” and all of a sudden all the explanations “arrived” to me!

4. Incredible and wonderful Claudia, this is what happens when we are connected to the Energy! In practical terms, what can a client expect during an alignment session? Do you need some preparation first? Is it painful?

Expectations in my opinion do not play in favor! I can only rely on experiences and give indications, but it is good to know that there is no manipulation or physical contact… so it can only do well. The practitioners are just channelers of a powerful healing message, they don’t do it themselves and therefore it’s not up to them. We can only say that the benefits are usually immediate and the change in the body is evident and measurable. It is difficult to understand all this with our little minds… for this reason I invite you to read the testimonials on the site and see the photos of the “before and after”. But it is good not to make promises and have no expectations, but simply remain open to receiving all the good that can come!

No preparation is required before the treatment, and it is not painful at all. Generally there are sensations during the treatment, for example as if someone pulls your leg, as if a weight is going away, as if a wave passes through it, etc.

5. Who can receive the alignment and benefit from it?

Everyone can receive alignment and benefit from it, from babies to seniors, even animals! The benefits are not limited to the entire physical body (not just the spine), but obviously all our other bodies are involved: the emotional, mental, spiritual body, etc.

I limited myself to calling it “spinal” because it is the visible and measurable part. A general healing message is channeled that can reach any part of the body that needs it.

6. Who can become a practitioner and consequently teach and offer alignment? Are there any pre-requisites?

All those who wish to become an operator are welcome! For those who already “feel” the energy and how to channel it, they do not have to do anything before the course. On the other hand, those who still do not have this perception I recommend to attend a Reiki course, any school is fine, and do a period of practice, until you reach the awareness of feeling the energy.

7. How has your life changed thanks to Reiki and the Alignment?

They have been a great help for my personal growth, I am closer to Love, Joy and Peace.

8. How has Covid impacted the way you work in your studio?

I let it flow. The fact of having suspended many activities, such as yoga, group meetings for meditations and evenings of “Reiki exchanges” gives way to something else… and that’s okay! So much meditation, so many readings, so many prayers and Light for the transformation that will happen!

9. Exactly, unfortunately in this period we have to try more than ever to reinvent ourselves and see the positive things that are next to us, and I think you have succeeded and will still succeed. Thanks again for your time!

Claudia’s story, especially in this period that we are all experiencing, teaches us to connect to the Energy, to transform a negative period into a positive teaching and to trust the Universe. The Harmonic Spinal Alignment is a wonderful gift and I assure you a unique experience to try. I myself intend in the near future to take the course after having tried it with very positive results.

7 Planes of Existence

The concept of “planes of existence” comes from the shamanic and mythological traditional idea that the world is structured on a vertical axis. This could be for example similar to a mountain or a tree divided in floors or areas, each of them representing something or holding some type of creatures and knowledge. As a matter of fact, nowadays the modern esoterism refers to a plane as a subtle state, level, or region of reality, each one corresponding to some type, kind, or category of being. Definetely not far from the tradition.

According to ThetaHealing’s theory

For those who are a bit familiar with ThetaHealing (click on the link for more info) this concept of the cosmic planes should definitely ring a bell. Infact, according to the founder of this technique, Vianna Stibal, there are 7 planes of existence.

They are the seen and unseen energies that define the different dimensions of this universe, and they are so vast that the human mind in a normal daily state cannot comprehend them. That’s why when we are using the Theta brain waves we are able to perceive these inexplicable forces.

Each of the planes has its own particular energy, better described as a vibration. These vibrations are the essence of life in all its forms, all the existence as we know it. The frequency of vibration is what makes the planes different to one another: the higher the frequency of vibration, the faster the atoms move. For instance, the molecules in the solid objects of the 1st Plane move very slowly, then they start moving more quickly on the 2nd Plane and so on through all the other planes.

Each plane of existence is subject to its own conditions, rules, laws and commitments. By their very nature, the first 6 planes are not perfect, but the 7th Plane has the fastest vibrations and it has the essence of truth and divinity, what we may refer to as the Source or Universal Energy.

  • The 7th Plane of existence

As I’ve just written, this is the plane were lies the Pure Love and Universal Energy, the life-force energy that flows through all things. Here we can realise that we are all part of everything, that the energy is one and flows in each of us. On the 7th Plane, we can use the energies of all the planes without being bound by any vow or commitment to them, because the energy of the Seventh Plane creates the others.

  • The 6th Plane of existence

This is the plane of the Laws that create the very basic web of the Universe and reality, such as the Law of Time, the Law of Gravity, the Law of Cause and Effect (or Karma) and many more. The Laws are usually represente dby a symbol and they are categorised in Main Laws with sub-laws etc. like a sort of “hierarchy”.

  • The 5th Plane of existence

This is the plane of the divine and semi-divine beings, the plane of the masters, such as the Buddha and other masters that have changed the human history for good. It is divided into different sub-levels of vibration, like some sort of stair, and the lower level is the ultimate dualism. Dualism means that this is the place where both Good and Bad coexist (for instance Angels and Demons).

  • The 4th Plane of existence

This plane is where the spirits arrive and stay after death, where our ancestors are and where we will go after we will pass away. This is also the realm of spirits guide and totem animals.

  • The 3rd Plane of existence

This is the plane of protein-based life forms, such as humans and animals. Our souls need to experience the challenge of emotions and instinctual desires, and the reality of being in a human body in a physical world. All of this, in order to gain experience and learn our lessons until we won’t need to reincarnate anymore and we can ascend as masters in the 5th Plane. Our spirits will always stay in the 4th Plane, as spirit and soul are two different things.

  • The 2nd Plane of existence

All the organic material like plants and trees stay in this plane. It is well known that trees and plants can communicate with each other and that they are the most evoluted creatures on this planet (that’s right!). Fairies and elementals are also attracted to this plane because trees and plants are their home and support.

  • The 1st Plane of existence

This plane consists of all the inorganic material like minerals, crystals, soil, and rocks, all the elements in the periodic table before they bind to carbon bases (and so become organic).

Interconnection

All the planes of existence are linked to each other to form our reality and the whole universe. Learning about the nature of each plane brings us a better understanding of these links and will open us to what each plane has to teach us. Not only we are part of this, but we ARE the planes of existence. Exactly, every plane is working outside and inside our body in complete harmony and balance to create and sustain life.

Infact, the human body is made up of 5 different compounds: lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acid (DNA), and ATP (energy). Each of these is linked to a particular plane and together create who we are.

Our physical, mental and spiritual health depends on having enough of these compounds. If they are lacking in our body, there will be a lack in other areas of our life. For instance a lack of 4th-Plane (carbohydrates) is a lack of energy, or a lack of 2nd-Plane (vitamins) is a lack of love, and so on.

Utilizing the Planes

Back in the days, a person was expected to master the energy of one plane of existence at a time, usually after a spiritual initiation. Think about schamans or crystal healers.

Thankfully now, we can open up and learn how to fuse the elements of the planes into one energy, although we still have to go through lessons. As we develop our psychic and healing abilities, we will naturally connect to the energies of the planes and learn how to use them for our spiritual growth.

The Great Dictionary of Metamedicine – Book review

Claudia Rainville, author of the international best seller “Le Grand Dictionnaire of Métamédicine, chaque symptome est un message” (aka “The Great Dictionary of Metamedicine, every symptom is a message“) started her career as a psychotherapist, born and raised in the typical Western medicine environment. After few challenges she had to face during the years in her personal and family life, and after noticing few similar patterns in her patients, she founded the Metamedicine approach.

Ancient Romans used to say “Mens sana in corpore sano“, so “Healthy mind, healthy body” and that’s what pretty much Metamedicine is based on.

After realising that patients had significant emotional events or traumas before the onset of new health issues or symptoms, the correlation of these events became a vast inventory of case studies and successful diagnostics. So, according to Metamedicine (aka META-Health), there is not only a mind-body connection but actually a very precise organ-mind-emotion network. Which means that each area of our brain, with its chemical and emotional responds, is linked to a specific organ and a specific conflict or trauma or environmental social experience.

As examples of what I have mentioned already, we could say that the skin (organ of touch) might be affected by a loss-of-contact-conflict, the breast (organ that nourishes the baby) by a separation-conflict, the lungs (breath is the sign of life) by a fear-of-death conflict, and so on.

I know this is a lot to take in and maybe difficult to understand, so let me give you a couple more of examples that Claudia Reinville herself mentions in the book.

Let’s start from something very common like allergies. They are a very common problem, which usually onsets due to situations (or allergens) that are not accepted or that wake up forgotten emotions and traumas. One can be allergic to pet hair, pollen some foods: let’s focus on this one. Food allergies are the ones linked with a memory, for example: have you been told that one of your relatives died while you were eating broccoli? Don’t be surprised if you can’t stand them or if you are allergic to them. Were your parents divorcing while you were starting to eat fruits as a toddler? Be careful ’cause you can become strawberry-intolerant. If you are unable to address the episode or the period of time where your allergy started, it could be related to a previous life experience. Gluten and dairy products allergies are instead a separate matter.

Let’s give you another example, a quite common problem that many people are afraid to share: anal itching. The anus is the terminal part of the intestines, and so it represents the end of a process and letting go “something” (yeah, you know what I am talking about!). That’s why anal itching can be getting started when there are difficulties in letting go and move on from a situation. It could be a person, a house, a job, etc. Ask youself: what is that bothers me about letting go this thing/person? Why is it so hard to move on?

In “The Great Dictionary of Metamedicine, every symptom is a message” the author writes in alphabetical order mentioning step by step every single disease, how it is related with a trauma or a issues/ conflict we should face and solve, giving examples thanks to her experience with thousands of patients.

I found this book really illuminating, as being a ThetaHealer Pratictioner I already knew this type of correlation in our beings, but being able to address all of them and put them down on paper is remarkable and it comes very handy. Especially if you work with holistic healing like I do, it makes you save a lot of time and helps you understand better your clients, not to mention all the positive improvements you can gain for youself. So take your new Dictionary and start digging, I hope you will find all the answers you are looking for!

UPDATE

Dear Abundy's supporters and friends, It is with sadness that I have to announce the temporarily closure of Abundy Studio due to unexpected circumstances. During this time you can stay tuned and read the Abundy blog, but all the treatments will be suspended until further notice. Hopefully we won't stay close for long! Thank you for your understanding and support. With Love and Gratitude.
