Emery Lauten Meadows
Usui-Tibetan Reiki Master-Teacher & Karuna Reiki Master-Teacher

Picture
Emery Lauten Meadows began practicing energy healing in 1991. Now, in addition to being an Usui-Tibetan Reiki Master-Teacher, and a Karuna Reiki® Master-Teacher, she is also a licensed massage therapist, certified Vinyasa yoga instructor, Oneness Blessing® Giver, and musician.

Emery’s Reiki journey began in 2002, when she received her first Reiki Level I training and attunement from Reiki Master-Teachers Rita T. Henry and Mala Shaw. At that time, Emery began to practice and use Reiki energy.

In 2007, Emery felt a strong “calling” to deepen her relationship with Reiki healing energy. She made a journey to Infinite Light Healing Studies Center in Sedona, Arizona, where she received the necessary attunements and became certified by The International Center for Reiki Training in First & Second Degree Usui Reiki Ryoho with Reiki Master-Teachers Laurelle Shanti Gaia and Michael Arthur Baird. Emery continued her Reiki training, receiving the necessary attunements and becoming certified as a Reiki Drumming® Practitioner with the originator of Reiki Drumming®, Reiki Master-Teacher Michael Arthur Baird.

Emery began integrating Reiki even more into her life, and began offering independent Reiki sessions as part of her massage and bodywork business. Massage clients commented upon the increased energy they were feeling in their massage sessions, and Reiki clients began reporting amazing results.

Then in December of 2007, Emery’s mother was diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer metastasized to her bones and liver. Due to its aggressiveness, the cancer was determined to be terminal and Emery’s mother began hospice care with an anticipated three months to live. During this time, Emery regularly gave Reiki treatments to her mother and arranged for a few Diksha treatments to be given, in addition to an aromatase inhibitor drug prescribed by the oncologist who deemed it "only a placebo" because he believed it would “not have time to work". After three months, Emery’s mother was significantly better and at four months PET scans showed no sign of cancer cells anywhere in her body. This miraculous experience encouraged Emery to continue deepening her knowledge and practice of energy healing.

In July of 2008, Emery completed a seven day residential Reiki Master training program with Reiki Master-Teachers Laurelle Shanti Gaia, Michael Arthur Baird and the founder of the International Center for Reiki Training, William Lee Rand. Emery received the necessary attunements and was certified by The International Center for Reiki Training as an independent Reiki Master in the Usui-Tibetan Reiki Ryoho system of healing.

In September 2008, Emery expanded her knowledge of energetic healing techniques by learning how to give Oneness Diksha (a blessing for spiritual awakening) through the Oneness University training program. Oneness Diksha (also known as the Oneness Blessing®) is an energetic technique from India and the yogic tradition. Emery underwent an intensive seven day spiritual initiation process to become a Diksha facilitator (or Oneness Blessing® Giver). 

In April 2012, Emery became a registered Karuna Reiki® Master through the International Center for Reiki Training. Emery was trained and attuned as a Karuna Reiki® Master by William Lee Rand, the founder and president of the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) and the person who developed the Karuna Reiki® system of healing. Karuna Reiki® Master is the highest level Reiki Master through ICRT. Emery is qualified to teach Karuna Reiki® all the way to the Karuna Reiki® Master level.

For more than twenty years, Emery has studied the holistic healing arts including Reiki, massage and bodywork, energetic anatomy, yoga, breath-work (pranayama), community ritual facilitation and ritual theater, meditation, qigong, metaphysics, women’s spirituality, liberation theology, shamanism (through The Foundation for Shamanic Studies) and other theories, practices and techniques for energetic healing and spiritual growth. 

Emery holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ritual Theater from Drake University, and directed a ritual theater production at the Civic Center of Des Moines, Iowa that facilitated positive life-changing experiences for many people through the power of energy healing and ritual combined with the magic of the theater. 

Emery's background includes being a former professional modern dancer with more than twenty years of dance training and experience, a decade of vocal music training, a decade of theater arts education and experience, eighteen years as a djembe drummer, and certification as a Vinyasa yoga instructor since 2008. Emery is a professional Licensed Massage Therapist practicing for eleven years, but retired from seeing massage therapy clients in December 2012.

As a side-project, Emery enjoys singing and drumming with the Houston bhakti & kirtan band Yatra. Emery also teaches occasional djembe drumming classes and workshops. 

Emery is married and mother to a beautiful daughter. 

Update: On February 1, 2013, Emery's mother, Jayne, died of breast cancer metastasized to the liver. She lived five years longer than doctors expected, and if she had died in 2008, she never would have known Emery's daughter who was born in 2009. Emery was with her mother for five days prior to her death and was with her at the time of her transition. Emery was blessed to give Reiki to her mother during the five days leading up to her death, and in the moment of her death. Reiki supported, eased pain, created peace and calm, and assisted the transition. Emery also used Reiki to clear the room where her mother was dying and to charge the room with positive, calm, light and peaceful Reiki energy. The doctor and social worker immediately noticed and commented on the peaceful feeling in the room upon entering the space. At the moment of her mother's passing, Emery received a clear sign that Reiki helped her mother cross over.
