In traditional Reiki classes, students are introduced to the concept of the three diamonds, also known as the lower, middle, and upper tan-tiens. These energy centers are believed to play a crucial role in the flow of energy throughout the body and are closely linked to one's spiritual development. The lower tan-tien, located just below the navel, is associated with grounding and physical energy. The middle tan-tien, located at the heart center, is connected to emotions and compassion. Lastly, the upper tan-tien, situated at the forehead or crown, is related to higher consciousness and spiritual connection.

By learning to work with these energies in a playful and creative manner, practitioners can enhance their Reiki practice and experience a greater sense of harmony and balance. In this masterclass led by Melinda, an International Belly-Dancer and Reiki Teacher, participants will discover new ways to tap into the energy of the three diamonds and harness their transformative potential. Through her guidance, you will explore how movement, breath, and intention can be used to activate and balance the energy centers, resulting in a profound sense of alignment and revitalization. This masterclass offers a fresh perspective on traditional Reiki teachings, inviting students to embrace their creativity and intuition as they deepen their understanding of the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit.

Melinda views our bodies are sacred mirrors of the Cosmos, reflecting universal laws and energies that surround us. Through the practice of belly dance, we can tap into this profound connection and align ourselves with the harmonious flow of the universe. Belly dance is not just a physical exercise; it is a spiritual practice that invites us to move with compassion and curiosity towards ourselves and the world around us. By engaging in the art of belly dance, we can experience a deep sense of oneness and awaken our 'three diamonds' - the mind, body, and spirit.

When we practice dance with the right intention, we can bring ourselves into harmony with this higher intelligence, promoting balance and peace within ourselves. Even if you have no prior experience with dance, this offering is open to all who have an open mind and a willingness to try something new.

A PowerPoint presentation will visually guide you through the principles at play, helping you to understand the underlying geometry behind the dance. Additionally, there will be a demonstration to show you how to embody these principles in your movements, allowing you to see the dance in action before you try it yourself. Clear and gentle guidance will be provided to help you feel comfortable and confident as you navigate this new experience.

By the end of this masterclass, you will not only have learned a new dance but also have tapped into a deeper understanding of the connections between movement, sacred geometry, and universal intelligence. This experience has the potential to bring more vitality to your body, mind, and spirit, leaving you feeling more balanced and at peace. So come with an open heart and mind, and be prepared to explore this unique and transformative dance that is open to all who wish to experience its magic.
