Saito Kai - Meditation, Stress Relief Reiki, Spiritual Development

the path
Welcome to Saito Kai Inc, or Saito Group in English. Since 1985, we’ve been exploring ways to live a more wholistic, sustainable lifestyle. Using Reiki and Meditation, we continually explore ways to help you create a conscious connected community in your life.

After the 5 year journey to completing our straw bale house in 1998, we focused our attention on unschooling our three girls and our meditation practice. Creating a life on our 12 acre slice of heaven, deepening our spiritual connection to the Earth and to our inner guidance led us to studying permaculture, gardening, and then to reading Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh. That material changed our perspective on the purpose for our relationship and we studied that material for 5 years with a group of 13 dedicated people.
When the study group was completed, we realized that the group energy of focused spiritual development was an integral part of our practice and a few of the same folks spent the following five years studying meditation together with a group of 8. This group was led by a channeler who assisted us in exploring the other side of this journey, the para-normal and metaphysical side.

We explored many modalities of energy healing and the next ten years involved a steep learning curve in understanding our human-ness through the lens of our spiritual selves. During that time, we learned three strains of Western Reiki and became certified as teachers in Reiki.
the path
In 2007, after a few frustrating years trying to make the Reiki we had learned fit our spiritual path, we took a teachers course from Hyakuten Inamoto from Japan. We found through this Buddhist style of Reiki the connection we were looking for. Adding these tools to our experience and other training became a solid base for our self practice, and we have adopted Inamoto Sensei's Komyo Reiki manual and included those steps in our own teachings.

In 2008, we decided to open our operation in Stony Plain on Main Street. We refined and honed our teaching there and are now operating at our summer location 15 minutes south west of town. Our program is designed to assist you in your spiritual development, using Saito Kai Reiki as one of your tools. The spiritual practice that develops through dedicated study usually leads to a deeper awareness of ourselves and how we manifest our lives here on Mother Earth. This increased vibration crosses all boundaries and we find ourselves changing our eating, sleeping and living habits. Our connection to Gaia allows us to see our lifestyles in a different perspective.

We invite you to explore some of the other ways this has changed our lifestyle. We hope that you learn from our experience and that your path to a more sustainable, whole life is a abit easier. dojo

This summer (2011) we are grateful to be open and operating here at our space! We have created a few outdoor soul spaces for classes, meditation and Reiki sessions. Our passion for birds and sanctuary have created a perfect setting for stillness. We've developed a membership so that you can deepen your Reiki through training and attunements. Members have the added bonus of using the space to heal and they receive added time with teachers and others students. We call our center The Dojo. It means 'place of the way.'

At Saito Komyo Reiki Dojo, we believe that calming the mind is the first step to a whole healing experience. From a calm space we make the right choices for ourselves. We allow our body to come to balance and we open to an experience that allows a mind and body healing led by the spirit. As spiritual beings here for a human experience, we have forgotten this place of peace and it is by returning to serenity that we can achieve whatever it is we choose.
Komyo Reiki is a Japanese system of healing that assists you in returning to your natural state of balance and harmony. Through one hour sessions at The Dojo, we’ll assist you in bringing a deeper level of peace into your world. In Shoden (1st Degree) Komyo Japanese Usui Reiki, begin to heal yourself. In Chuden (2nd Degree - Practitioner), allow the energy of Reiki to assist others in their healing and increase your inner connection. At Okuden (Master/3rd Degree) for those who seek the path to satori (enlightenment). Through Shinpiden (Teacher) Level, you offer this training to others as you live your life through an elightened perspective.

The main focus of the Saito Komyo Reiki Dojo is to allow each person the opportunity to experience the wonder of Reiki energy. Whether as a Shoden self healer who uses it as a meditation and stress release tool or as a teacher who wishes to share this healing power with others, The Dojo is here to create confident, aware Reiki practitioners. We have an extensive training program that provides access to the teachers, regular attunements, scheduled training sessions for each degree and a practicum in the Reiki room.

At The Dojo, we offer regular meditation gatherings throughout the week. Allow this gentle, calming journey help you re-member your natural state. Each meditation focuses first on breathing, connecting to our core and balancing our chakras. From this relaxed state, we journey together to find inner peace.

Calm the mind. Still the body. Be Here. Now. Breathe. Allow yourself the experience of stillness. We have these scheduled each week. Check the Calendar for full schedule. Do you have a group that might benefit from meditating and sitting in quiet together? We'll explore how we can bring meditation to your group and space. Send us an email or give us a call and we'll discuss custom designing a meditation experience for your group. dojo

Do any of these words sound familiar? “I can’t meditate. I go too fast. My mind won’t stop working. I can’t sit still.” Serenity is our natural state of being, we have simply forgotten it. There’s No Way I Can Meditate…The Class offers simple, ancient breathing techniques to open the door to meditation and the pathway to Satori. (Enlightenment)
