REIKI SAN ANTONIO a dba of Creative Minds Unlimited

CAROLYN MALONEY

I am  a Reiki Master Teacher, Sensei, since 1995, practicing and teaching Reiki San Antonio Classes, in San Antonio Texas. The classes are a combination of Usui/Takata Traditional, Tibetan Reiki and Usui Ryoho Gakkai integrating Local cultural healing arts. I am the founder and CEO of Creative Minds Unlimited and REIKI SAN ANTONIO.( Business Registered with Tx state and Fed. beginning in 1996)  I have had many articles and poetry published in various magazines (Enjoy Whole Health, Indigo Sun, Express News),   I also appeared on Kens-5 TV, Great day SA to explain and demonstrated Reiki, discussing what it was all about with Lu Parker in March of 2004.

I feel I have an increased cultural understanding of Reiki by living in Fuchu AFB, Japan near the capitol city of  Tokyo, in 1968/1969. After two years we were transferred to Honolulu, Hawaii.  We  remained there for 12+ Years. My husband was the child of a man who served in the Military and was stationed there during Pearl Harbor. His Father had to deal with the trauma (now called PTSD.The only way of managing his trama, was to move his entire family  to Hawaii in 1950. Kalani was considered a Local Haoli boy, and was raised in Honolulu adding to my knowledge of the true life styles.  Due to the problems in the economy, I convinced him that  living in Texas would be much less expensive and we could send our kids to college. So we moved to Texas in 1981.

I am a board certified instructor (faculty/staff) for San Antonio College since Dec 1997 who teaching Reiki and Complementary Alternative Medicine "CAM" to Nurses for the Continuing Education Credits required for nurses re-license in the state of Texas. These contact hours or (CE's or CNEs) are used by many different health care workers. You don't have to be a medical professional to take the classes, there are many people that take the classes to understand a different prospective to health and wellness.   Nursing Cont. Ed. Credits are 8.5 for each class listed.  10 CE's (Cont. Ed. Hours) equals 1.0 CEU (Cont. Ed. Units)

The classes include: Reiki Level I - Physical, Reiki Level II - Mental and Emotional plus long distance healing, Advanced Reiki/Reiki Master Practitioner and the fourth Reiki class is, Reiki Master Teacher. I also teach Reflexology (Hand/Feet in one class), Acupressure for Face, Ears and Shoulders. My newest addition will be The healing art of Visualization and meditation.  Every year new classes are offered at SAC through CMU. We have a terrific Team/group including RN's, and Counselors.  If you would like to contact me, I can be reached at reiki@flash.net or (210) 289-9722

I have written and copyrighted four instructional books on Reiki that the student receives as part of their classroom tools.
