Roberta R. Barnes has practiced natural healing for over 30 years. . While still a little girl, her father introduced her to a form of meditation. She was first introduced to Reiki in the 1980s and began her Usui Reiki Ryoho studies in the 1990s. She completed her first master teacher level in 1999. After completing the highest level in Western styles of Usui Reiki, she went on in 2001 to complete the highest level in Japanese Reiki.

Roberta completed her update Shihan (teacher) level in Gendai Reiki-Ho directly under Hiroshi Doi and in Komyo Reiki Kai directly under Rev. Hyakuten Inamoto. Each of these men has only two teachers between themselves and Mikao Usui the founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho.

Roberta learned, and teaches, that the spiritual practice founded in 1922 is an original spiritual practice that while simple, it is profound. Each of the four levels she teaches are divided into classes so that you have time to assimilate what is new to you, go over all the exercises, learn to feel variations in energies, and form questions related to blending the spiritual practice of Usui Reiki into your life.

Because Roberta focuses on helping others to improve the quality of their life, she also teaches meditation, gives herb consultations, and has available two of her original guided meditations on the CD Finding Your Solutions.

There are people herbalists and animal herbalists. Roberta is a people herbalist, but practices and teaches allowing Japanese styles of Usui Reiki to balance and surround with harmony all cells in mind, body and spirit of all life forms.

You will not see Roberta advertising animal Reiki, but some of her clients wag their tails with delight as Reiki flows to where is needed within them. She allows the balance and harmony of Usui Reiki to flow to people, pets, other animals and birds, fish, and all life forms. The spiritual practice Mikao Usui founded can be described as the wave of love from the universe, but the wonderful feel of this form of universal energy cannot be properly described in any language.

Questions you may have about meditation may be answered on Roberta’s new blog, Guided Meditations insight to the Soul at http://www.meditationsguided.com or visiting her Meditation & Beyond page on her website http://naturalhealinglearning.com/meditation.html

Caring for injured wildlife and volunteering as a Candy Striper in high school began Roberta on her journey to help others improve the quality of their lives. She has seen auras all her life and gives workshops on dissolving the filters that keep many people from recognizing the energy field that surrounds each life form.

Roberta’s connection with nature is evident by her Natural Healing & Learning Center being nestled among the trees in a safe wildlife habitat in Maine, USA. Many clients and students have said they feel an air of relaxation the moment they enter the area around her Center. The high ceiling in her Center represent the freedom that you experience once you let go, open up and look beyond training wheels and trust in universal wisdom.

Roberta has completed the highest level in both Western and Japanese styles of Usui Reiki Ryoho; she teaches and practices the Japanese Usui Reiki styles Gendai Reiki-Ho & Komyo Reiki, but can answer questions about various Western styles. Roberta has written a separate manual for each of the five levels she teaches based upon her teachers' manuals, the notes she took in class, and personal experiences. She leaves space in each manual for each student to write his or her own notes, and guides you to the freedom of practicing Reiki without the need for training wheels, such as Reiki symbols.

One student describes her experience in studying three levels with Roberta Barnes in this way, “To those of you who are thinking of enlightening your lives for the better, I would recommend taking classes from Roberta R. Barnes. I have taken Shoden (level 1), Okuden (level 2), and just completed Shinpiden (level 3), in Gendai Reiki-Ho. It is hard for me to express to others what has happened within me and around me after completing each level. I see the world and those in it differently. The best change has been within myself. I feel more balanced and open to the universe and what it wants to share with me. I feel more happiness and peacefulness then I have felt in a long while. I am finally able to just let go. For me that is a big one. So hard to put into words when the emotions are so overflowing. Roberta is understanding, and all of so many questions she answered patiently." -- Patty C.
