History
Reiki is a touch healing art that was rediscovered by a man named Dr. Usui in Japan in the middle 1800's. It made its way into the United States through Hawaii where there were originally 22 Reiki Masters.
Jeremy Anacker of Affinity studied for well over 20 years with Helen Borth who spent time with these Masters and was the first Reiki Master in Wisconsin. In time, while the tradition was carried forward in its original flavor a contemporary approach was also introduced. Jeremy has spent over 25 years working and developing his approach to the Reiki Practice and to teaching and helping others transform. He embraces ways of thinking and being that enhance the healing power of Reiki.
At Affinity not only do participants experience the peaceful and healing benefits of Reiki and other energy techniques but they also are given tools and dynamic group opportunities for growth and spiritual transformation. You are invited to join us through our Meetup Group.

Original and Contemporary
The Original Approach - Over the years Reiki has been changed and modified to fit the interests of various individuals. Reiki in its original form is becoming even more rare than ever. Out of interest in preserving the best of what was to the healing community Jeremy keeps offering all that he knows about Reiki as it was presented through the early pioneers. If you are already attuned you are welcome to audit any of the Reiki Attunements that Jeremy offers. The price for an audit is available for as low as $25. Inquire with Jeremy for more information.
A Contemporary Approach - As one evolves in their practice the true direction towards greater effectiveness is not necessarily to learn more techniques and knowledge but to be willing to trust and be taught intuitively and directly by the lifeforce. The Universal Life Force Energy is the translated meaning of the word Reiki and it knows what to do in any healing situation. In time one discovers that they are of the life force in the most complete possible way.

Reiki Events

Reiki Sharings
We keep a monthy Reiki Sharing running for beginners and practioners. This is a great way to experience a session and to try the practice out for your self. Attuned practitioners are encouraged to attend as a means to grow in their practice and to keep a practice of service going for their growth.
At our Reiki Sharings, for the purpose for creating growth opportunities for all, you will be encouraged to try the practice even if you do not have more in depth training or a Reiki Attunement. Basic instructions and guidance will be given at this event and it is highly recommended that if you feel called to continue doing energy work on yourself or others that you sign up for a Reiki Attunement.
In its original form Reiki was developed as a touch healing method. Human touch is powerful medicine and healing touch is that and much more. Common body boundaries are very important to maintain at any of our groups. We would love it if you would communicate to us immediately when you are uncomfortable in any way what so ever. A participant may ask for the treatment to be done to the aura only and so then hands on the body will not be used.

Reiki Attunements
Reiki is a very simple technique where learning is a matter of being attuned while you acquire some basic techniques. Finding a qualified Reiki Master that you can trust and resonated with is essential.
Here at Affinity the Reiki Master is a life long enthusiast with many years of training and experiences. Both original and contemporary Reiki is presented by Jeremy Anacker, Reiki Master, Auric Seer and a student of Helen Borth, the first Reiki Master in Wisconsin in 1980.
With this combination all Reiki students receive teachings at the traditional level plus personal energy evaluations helping the individual transmit the universal life energy in the clearest possible state.

An Expanded Genius Receives Reiki
I have been working with a very unique 'Reiki Healee' for about 4 years who is a very expanded individual. Many of his friends would say that he has a beautiful mind meaning that he can recite works of writing from authors such as Shakespear or Poe without even thinking about it. He also has made major contributions to the world of computer science as he made some innovations in how data processing works. He often worked on projects that concerned world wide networks of information and financial exchange. As he often comes in for stimulating conversation, he has much to say about very esoteric topics as well. Recently, I have decided that each session ought to begin with reading a few lines from one of his life long favorite works of wisdom called "The Tao Te Ching."
When this person first came to me many years ago, his aura was incredibly expanded. I often had a hard time finding the edge of his aura as it extended beyond the size of my healing studio. In most healing sessions the 'Reiki Healee' has an aura that would expand as the heavier areas of energy would unpack and move out of the aura. This individual was so expanded that his energy was spread thin. My concern was that his energy lacked presence or strength at the level of body.
During this persons Reiki sessions the energy would find balance in its unique way. The energy flows in and around his body would begin to pulse and grow brighter. His aura would consequently move from about 15 feet of expansion to about 7 or 8 feet in all directions. The edge of the aura would become stronger. It was clear to me that it would be ok for his aura to be expanded to 15 ot more feet in all directions if he was intent on seeing that his first job in life is to be very present to what is in the moment. This may often mean that being emotionally present to the person in front of him can become more of a priority.
As this perons has been coming to me for these many months, the ongoing coaching process along with Reiki has been a blessing as he has a person who he can connect with on expanded topics. He needs to be honored for his intellectual and intutive brilliance while he grows into his capacity to be in the immediate space he enhabits with more presence and connection.

I recently had a 'Reiki Healee' come in for a Reiki session with whom I noticed had an energy block between their third eye and crown chakra. While the energy did begin to shift this block out of the way, the intuitive guidance from the Reiki's intelligence guided me to do some Intuitive Coaching around the issues that were creating this block.
The block came from a well practiced perception that her intellectual capacities and metaphysical understandings would bring her to the state of awakening that she intended to realize. Based on my understanding that the crown chakra is about purity, nondual awareness and ineffable reality, I knew that this higher energy center was being being projected onto with mental concepts. A more devotional approach to her intention to wake up was needed. I asked her to consciously ask for the vital knowing of the highest source and the life force energy to bring light to her very developed intellect. I told her that it was time to move from being a very smart individual to a brilliant one and that it was time to allow for the knowing and very alive knowing of her crown and the higher source.
This 'Reiki Healee' was definitely a more advanced individual because she was able to consciously ask for this shift while she was on the Reiki table. The block that existed between the crown and third eye chakras disappeared and she felt an awakening in her third eye. I let her know that the pattern to lean on intellect and metaphyaical doctrine is very strong for her and that a lasting shift will take some conscious ongoing work.

Reiki Helps to Clear a Muddy Aura
A participant came in for a Reiki session with warm energy and a bright silver lining on her aura but there was plenty of muddiness in her energy field as well. The Reiki blessing helped to soften and clear away the mud and shift her energy field towards greater lightness. I was able to see further into the layers that were presenting and I noticed that there were threads of creative energy along with various forms of tangled energy.
After asking a few questions I found out that she was a very active musician in her area and had a large network of peers with whom she would hang out with. She mentioned how she loved to be with creative people, which amounted to doing various forms of very casual mingling. As there were various types of unhealthy mingling or involvement her aura became tangled and eventually the muddiness that I detected manifested. While the Reiki method can be helpful in clearing up her energy, while undoing some of the tangling I felt called to do some coaching in order to facilitate longer term progress.
As she was an aspiring musician with potentially growing influence in her area I asked her to think about getting clear about her vision. A vision for her could include finding a key producer or an individual who can open the door to larger venues. If her vision is clear her intuitive awareness about who, when and how to socialize becomes clearer. She then is more likely to sidestep people with more stuck energy and notice the individuals that could be creative and brighter in ways that create more opportunities for her endeavors.
This coaching was given with an intention to create a benefit beyond what an individual Reiki Session often provides. Conscious awareness and reflection on how to create lasting shift are very effective tools for deeper and or lasting forms of energy shift. I love to stage for lasting shift through the sessions that I offer along with the wide variety of classes that I offer.

Reiki Helps to Resolve Grounding Issues
A Reiki Healee had an interruption in the energy flow around her feet. When I put my hand in this area I could feel stinging pain on my hand and fingers. While this was so, I also noticed that there was plenty of bright vital energy farther into the base of her aura. The Reiki blessing easily gave its uplifting light to areas of her field that represents fundamental or foundational areas of her self and her life.
She also had very strong and vibrant energy flows thoughout the rest of her aura. I could tell that the interruption in the flow of energy around the feet represented a pattern that undermines fundamental progress. It seemed very unfortunate that such a bright person with many talents.
As she came for a series of sessions I was able to asked a few questions and do some coaching that was focused on her life patterns. She told me about her and her lifestyle and informed me that she is an business owner and a breathwork teacher. These facts along with other similar details about her explained the strong overall good energy. The interuption in her flow represented an area of her energy and her life that is a next step in her evolution.
It occurred to me that she had issues with slowing down and with discerning through the long list of options that are given to her in her life journey. While she is a very aware person continued growth now means to integrate with a more grounded way of being.
One example of moving towards a more grounded way of being came clear as the coaching situation continued. It became clear that she needed to prioritize her life and act with more conviction about what she wants in life. For example, in one aspect of her life she realized that this meant saying no to few dating opportunites with individuals that were distractions rather than life partner opportunies. When she let these individuals know that they were not a match for her there was a break in the painful energy block that existed around her feet. The Energy flowed through and filled the bottom half of her aura. I did some intentional things around her feet to free up the energy while she was in a Reiki Session with me. She was grateful to have a fully integrated approach to Reiki as I gave her aura feedback and Intuitive Coaching.

Reiki and a Unique Energy Block
Reiki and a Unique Energy Block When a Reiki client came in with a zig zag formation in her aura I was not startled. It’s actually a fairly common issue. In this case it was around the legs and lower half of the aura. After I asked a few questions, I concluded that it was due to a strong pattern of taking care of other people in her work setting. For her, it was as if she was racing around the office in overreach mode trying to make sure that her colleagues were happy or ok. The zig zag formation was also a reflection of how actions can be confused and unsteady as a result of a confused sense of self.
The Reiki blessing naturally introduced peaceful energy which also helped the Healee relax into a greater and more assured sense of self. As the zig zag energy relaxed and straightened out it began to take the form that represented what’s in the true self, a strong core or pillar of brighter energy.
As this Reiki Client comes in on a regular basis, the Reiki treatments help her to connect to her peaceful self and from there its easier to imagine and develop a clear vision of how to function in clarity and principal while she lives her life. Her peace and sense of connection to her peaceful self will be with her more often as she continues to implement ways of speaking, operating and acting that feels closer to her experiences of the vital and peaceful flow state that the Reiki Blessing gives her.

Reiki and the First Layer of Energy
A new Reiki Healee came in for a session. He expressed some concern about an inability to sleep at night. After he got on the healing table I ran the Reiki blessing as usual. As peaceful healing energy came through me through me and my hand I felt a heavy layer of energy start to dissolve. This layer was dense and tight and it existed very close to the ‘healees’ skin.
In my experience, many of the benefits of Reiki blessing do not stick unless there are new mindsets and new life patterns consciously utilized. I instructed this person to pay attention to the shift in energy when he is in service to others. I instituted that this first layer of energy would dissipate in a lasting way if he started committing some of his life to service to others. He is a talented musician and he has since begun to play music in a charitable setting for others.
To be continued....

Direct Experience of Reiki and Aura Awareness
A ‘Reiki Healee' arrived in for her Reiki session after a few years of thinking about trying it out. She had done extensive work in therapy for many years and intended to see if intentional or intuitive approaches would help her to progress in areas where she currently felt stagnant. She was not sure if energy work would create a benefit but obviously she showed up with an open mind.
She needed a small introduction to what Reiki is all about along with some encouragement around how it can be a very powerful compliment to the work that she has already done on herself. She was used to checking in on her feelings and processing traumas with a somatic sensibility in her own healing work.
She got in the Reiki table to relax and I placed my hand in the first traditional hand position. A charge of very light and uplifting energy came right through my body and hands to the Healee. I noticed how her whole energy immediately become brighter while a flow of light and bright energy flowed right through her. I mentioned to her that I’m not sure that I have ever had a person shift so completely in the first moment of a session.
She expressed surprise and delight with the fact that she did experience what I told her. Her first try of the Reiki form of energy healing was definitely direct discovery of the life forces presence in and around all living things.

Reiki and Shouldering Energetic Weight
The benefits of Reiki easily manifests in an individual session or during a Reiki class and this is very encouraging for aspiring individuals. Aura Feedback and Intuitive Coaching is not necessarily needed for one to explore the palpable experiential benefits that spontaneously and routinely occurs. The ability to facilitate these benefits are effortless and easy if one decides to become a Reiki Practitioner. Consequently, it is also very natural to develop into a next level process that goes deeper for an aspiring healer. For instance, I offer next level awareness in my sessions and in various aura or chakra awareness classes.
During a Reiki Level 1 Attunement aspiring healers are plugged into the Reiki energy field in the sky through a crown chakra blessing and then they spend the weekend in the energy while learning the methods and basic structure that comes with the Reiki practice. This process gives participants the opportunity to give Reiki treatments. It is a very rewarding and uplifting energetic experience where many forms of breakthrough routinely occur.
Recently, during a Reiki Level 1 Attunement a participant noticed that a weighty block of aura energy left his his right shoulder. He said that he felt a wonderful feeling of space and freedom in its place. Occurrences of spontaneous shifting toward lightness and freedom are very routine when working with Reiki. We do not always know what the weight or block was about and the gift of healing and experiential freedom is given. Breakthroughs such as this encourage healers and healees to continue as the process is effortless yet powerful.
During the Reiki Level Attunement, I mentioned that the basic Reiki practice does not necessarily address aura insights or feedback and it is not always called for. The Reiki blessing is a gift that stands well on its own and a foundational Reiki class is meant to address this thoroughly. At the same time, if a healer feels the call to develop their awareness of the life force over time, I recommend learning more about how thoughts and beliefs create the aura energy field. In the case of heavy energy leaving the shoulder, I mentioned to this new Reiki Healer that the benefits of a Reiki treatment are more likely to have lasting benefit if the a person does self awareness work that helps them to graduate out of the obligation and emotional trading mindsets that tend to weight down the aura energy around the shoulders. See link to explore and receive coaching around your aura energy and for a more complete understanding of your own aura energy field. See also info on the next Reiki Level 1 Attunement occurring with me at Affinity Transformations.

Reiki and the Back of the Root Chakra
A fundamental teaching in the Reiki practice is to initially connect with the Healee and empathize with whatever they are currently challenged with. As they have signed up to receive the Reiki blessing through a relaxing energy session we tend to simply move forward with the session as a quiet hour of blessing work is a profound gift to provide. In my practice, as I have an Intuitive Coaching and Aura Insight background a Healee often asks me to incorporate these aspects of what I do in their session.
Recently a woman came in with stress around a list of challenging life decisions. She was struggling with a decision with a year long relationship and a career choice. As she talked these issues out she was bringing the matter into the light in a safe way with a person who can hold space. Consequently, adding Reiki work is also a great space holding approach to healing and renewa. Obviously she also understood the value in reaching out and talking out what she is going through.
Reiki blessing brings a sense of balance and peace to the energy field and as the person is in a better place they also have access to thier higher self and the sense of self that makes clear desions.
As the session continued I noticed areas of brightness in her aura along with areas of darker more jagged energy. As these areas of energy were chaotically presenting through out the aura her presentation amounted to an overall sense of consusion and conflict. This person did talk out her issues but a more complete resolution was needed. As I looked further I could see that the root location of this energetic discord was in the back side of the root chakra.
I am pretty convinced that any well practiced Reiki Healer would be called to give focused Reiki techniques on the back of the root chakra in this case, because the life force tends to guide practitioners to the work that is necessary. As this is the case I did so as well. It was satisfying to notice the peaceful energy go into the back of the root chakra and create energy shifts towards harmony. The overall aura also started to become lighter and more organized towards harmonious flow.
I let this person know about how the root issue to her current life challenges can be made easier by asking her to look at how lack of safety and basic wellness was challenged or damaged in the past. She will need to face the difficult feelings of past as it relates to basic needs and safety and then make new internal agreements about how to believe in the safety that is provided by the spirit and how to live in a sense of safety in this moment and the days ahead.

Reiki and Bright Flashes of Energy
Reiki and Bright Flashes of Energy A new Healee came in for a Reiki session. His energy was thick with clumps of entangled energy.
As our dialogue unfolded and as uplifting content was shared his energy had brightened flashes of color. As these bright flashes of energy happened easily, it showed that he resonates quickly with spiritual statements and his energy takes an invitation or verbal prompt to peaceful states very readily. What was interesting to me was that his energy very quickly shifted right back to thick clumps of entangled energy.
As he received his Reiki treatment his energy continued to continue to shift to brighter flashing and then quickly back to thick clumps of entangled energy. As I got to know him through the dialogue and the Reiki treatment it became clear that he was a profoundly interested student of intuitive awareness and spiritual awakening and was traveling around the country while trying out various healers and intuitive coaches. He mentioned how he loved doing it all very much and enjoyed trying out the various styles and perspectives.
As these bright shifts of energy happened readily when he was in a session but then dissipated quickly it was clear to me that it was becoming time for him to try out a path to healing and awakening that asked him to try techniques and do self work on an ongoing basis. I offered him one of our channeling books and told him about our monthly channeling group. I told him that this monthly group was a possible next step as he would be given pointers and ongoing support that would help him to make lasting shifts what would last longer. The benefits would then remain for the periods of time between Reiki sessions or visits with intuitive coaches.

Reiki and a Technique That Teaches Conviction
A new Healee and a very seasoned seeker recently came in for a Reiki treatment. After she got on the Reiki table the Reiki blessing that came through went right into her body and it easily uplifted many aspects of her energetic core, aura and energetic latticework. She soon had a pretty good charge of energy flowing through her energetic core. This basically means that her chakras easily balanced themselves and were in good communication. This also meant that she has a very good ongoing spiritual and emotional growth process built up for herself. It was obvious that I was there to help her into a next place on a very evolved journey in self awareness and emotional growth.
There was a very dense and dark energy on the floor of her root chakra. It reminded me of the burnt food that sat on the bottom of a batch of chili that I once made. This also seemed to be connected to a dull energy that existed around her feet and the bottom half of her aura.
As the root chakra had this dark and dense formations at its bottom or floor there were layers of.breakthrough already accomplished in other area s of this foundational energy center. As I asked her a few questions I learned that she has been deep in a recovery process from a lifestyle of alcohol abuse and was doing somatic oriented therapy on her early life trauma.
She had a very thorough understanding of herself through the pathways that she has utilized. In this Reiki session I was able to show her that while she will still benefit from facing and making space for the inner child and the remaining trauma that is left in the root chakra she will also benefit from the use of self energy techniques that encourage flow through the aura and deep into her spiritual foundation. The energy flow technique that I gave her included a prompt to use motion in coordination with intention to increase commitment to energy flow and greater presence.
Through energy testing I was able to show that she is energetically stronger in the areas around her feet after applying this flow technique.

Reiki and Out of Balance Chakras
A new Healee came in for a Reiki session. She has been thinking about an energy experience that she had with a healer for about 20 years and finally decided to try a full session. She had a large heart chakra, a tight and small power chakra a sacral chakra that was about the right size but was in a messy shape with various forms of tangled energy.
