"Dear Taggart,
Firstly, when I received your manual I thought at first "there's no way I am going to remember any of this!", as the manual was about one inch think. However, after I started to read I found the information easy to digest and extremely interesting. I'd read books about Reiki but the manual seemed to fill in the gaps that general bookws just didn't explain.
Secondly, I drove to Margaret Craig's house in Glasgow expecting to see a bunch of people impatiently waiting for me, as I was stuck in traffic, and thought it was going to be difficult for me to join in. It couldn't have been more different. Margaret was so welcoming when I finally arrived. There was only one other lady there are the whole environment was so relaxing and friendly it was as though I knew them as friends already.
Thirdly, the day was laid out almost exactly as described in the manual. I was already familiar with the CDs, so this made it easy for me to follow instructions during my empowerments. I wasn't sure what to expect during my empowerments but I can definitely say that all three were very strong visually and physically. At one point I could feel a whirlwind blowing from above my head and spiralling larger and larger until it engulfed me. I thought I was going to open my eyes and see an air-fan in Margaret's hands, but there was nothing there and Margaret could not have made air whirl in such an unusual way - it made me feel extremely special and excited that this could happen to me.
After the day was over Margaret gave me lots of helpful advice and support. I felt and still feel that I have a lovely bond with both Margaret and the other lady who was being attuned as well. Margaret has contacted me several times since the empowerments to make sure I'm ok. I'm extremely excited aboutthe prospects which have opened up to me and I can't wait to do my Second Degree Reiki!
Thank you so much for sending me to Glasgow.
Many thanks again."

"Dear Taggart,
The Reiki I course with Margaret Craig was a very enjoyable experience. I was very nervous to begin with but Margaret helped to relax me in a very short space of time.
The manual is great to read and re-read and the photos are particularly helpful. I found the CD easy to listen to and Taggart's voice very relaxing. I almost drop off every time I do the self-healing section!
I have heard that you are drawn to the Reiki Teacher most appropriate to you and I can honestly say Margaret Craig was perfect for me. She is one of these 'special' people - once met, never forgotten. I would thoroughly recommend her course to anyone!"
Carol Vallance, Haddington, January 2004"The course (the day with Margaret and the CD and manual) I felt covered everything I needed to know. I like the fact that you are given all the information you require on the day, prior to the day. I use the CD every day for my self-treatment and Hatsurei.
The day with Margaret was amazing! Margaret is a wonderful and interesting woman. I felt very relaxed and welcome and the layout for the day was perfect.
The whole experience has been amazing. I will definitely complete my Reiki2 and possibly go on to a Master level in time. I feel that being able to give the gift of Reiki attunements would be wonderful.
Thank you,"
Ashley Paton, Glasgow, March 2004
"What can I say, the day went beyond all my expectations. Before the course, part of me was very sceptical about the whole thing. I was worried that these people were a bit wacko and were only interested in ripping me off. How wrong I was! I couldn’t believe it when I felt a series of different sensations during the empowerments. I don’t want to go into too much detail and spoil it for anyone else who’s thinking about taking the course.
I’d certainly recommend anyone who’s thinking about doing a Reiki course to stop thinking and do it! The people I’ve treated since are amazed at what they’ve felt during the treatment. At first they all joked about it and looked at me like I’d horns growing out my head. But they soon changed their tune and now they keep on asking for more!
During the day I found it difficult to actually believe that I could channel the energy. I was told and re-told to “get that ego to the side” so, needless to say I did and now I just accept that the energy will go where its meant to and believe me it does!
The course manual & CD are fabulous, they keep me right – its good to have something you can refer to if needed. Reading the manual makes so much more sense once you’ve completed the course too.
Even after the course the support from Taggart & Margaret has been great – I’ve emailed them about treatments I’ve done and they’ve always answered my questions really quickly and make you feel more confident about what your doing.
Margaret Craig is a fantastic teacher who makes you feel at ease and very welcome. You feel like you’ve known her for years. Normally I don’t like going to places on my own and I was never very happy about meeting new people – I always felt uneasy in those types of circumstances. I couldn’t believe I was actually going to course with a group of people I’d never met before – but I did it and unusually I wasn’t nervous about it in the slightest.
Reiki 2…here I come!"
Chyrel Lennox, Lochwinnoch, May 2004
"Many thanks to you and Margaret for the Reiki I and II courses I completed during the last few months. I enjoyed them very much and have found the course manuals and CDs invaluable reference tools since the courses.
Margaret is a wonderful teacher and it really was a priviledge to have her as a teacher. She gave so much during each course and the effects on my life since have been very powerful.
I have recommended the courses to friends - they really have been a wonderful life experience.
Many thanks,"
Janis Binnie, Kilmacolm, July 2004
"Why do a 198 mile round trip to Glasgow, when two miles down the road there were Reiki One courses on offer, the answer "it felt right".
Margaret was well worth the early rise and journey to be there. I gained so much from the day. From the warm welcome on our first meeting, Margaret's encouragement and support throughout the experience of the Reiki empowerments, to the goodbye at the end of the day.
The pace of the day and the atmosphere was perfect, nothing was rushed and we were always given the opportunities to express ourselves which at times for me was necessary. Thank you.
Having the manual and CD were great to have beforehand. Having pre-reading material and audio information suited my learning style - I feel having this information enabled me to enjoy and get as much as I did out of the day.
I believe you meet people for a reason and there is no such thing as coincidence. I am glad I met Margaret."
Margaret Perry, Castle Douglas, July 2004
"My first impressions of Margaret were of a nice connection to her. I myself am not a well-educated person, whereas the other three people were. Margaret made me feel at ease with this.
The full day was well-structured and most enjoyable. At times it was very powerful and emotional. Reiki will make a difference to my life, I will be more positive with where I am going and hopefully be able to help comfort those around me. I thank you for introducing me to Reiki and I look forward to my Second Degree.
Thanking you,"
Helen Ellis, Stirling, August 2004
"Manual
I very much appreciate the thought and detail and wide range of topics which you have covered in the manual. The preentation throughout is in very clear and understandable language. The section "What people feel when they are treated" I found very useful.
CD
I find the CD very engaging throughout and I very much enjoy listening to your voice every night guiding me thorugh Hatsu Rei before floating off to bed.
Presentation
I found Margaret very warm and welcoming on arriving at her home which had a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. She very clearly presented the events of the day and led us through each section with very clear instruction. The attunements were an amaizng experience and I really felt that I was on a spiritual journey - I had an amazing experience of journeying through space and time. Even after my first experience of Reiki, I feel that it has enhanced my connection with Buddhism and Meditation which I have been involved with for the last 20 years. I had a wonderful day which had been filled with loving kindness and laughter. I can't wait to experience Reiki Second Degree, and enhancing my healing skills.
Thank you."
Irene Begg, Glasgow, September 2004
"I would like you to know how much I am enjoying my Reiki, out in Spain I was getting loads of practice with family and friends, and the feeling of this being what I was meant to be doing: being able to help people you love and care for.
I am so grateful to yourself and Margaret. My Second Degree was most informative and enjoyable, Margaret is a very nice lady and has made my journey into Reiki something very special and I look forward to each person that I can give Reiki to. So rewarding.
I hope and pray that many more people follow into the journey of Reiki.
Many thanks,"
Helen Ellis, Stirling, October 2004
"The manual and CD were really good for pre course preparation and I had the time to digest it all before the actual 'hands on' training.
Margaret's welcome quickly put me at ease and the way that she worked through the course was very easy and understandable and the time passed very quickly.
The whole experience was brilliant and I am so looking forward to Reiki 2 and beyond."
Alex Napier, Glasgow, October 2004
"My day with Margaret left me wanting to run home and get my hands on anyone. So rather than try and explain to my sceptical partner I had a go and was delighted to be told by the 'sceptic' "That was amazing, you've really got something there!"
Janette Smithson, Glasgow, November 2004
"I thoroughly enjoyed my course. There was 4 on the course and this was just enough. More intimate, comfortable and Margaret had time for everyone. A very emotional day but lovely and a great start to my Reiki career."
Kirsteen Campbell, Paisley, November 2004
"Another brilliant day with Margaret!
The pre-course material was excellent and fitted exactly to the actual workshop. This made the whole experience easy and enjoyable as it should be.
Margaret's calm and easy approach to Reiji ho was fascinating for me and I could clearly feel it working very strongly, it was so natural.
In the two weeks since the course I have been trying different methods of distant healing and this has been a very powerful experience with lots of energy flowing.At odd quiet times during the day I have found that I can quickly set the intent mentally and channel the energy without any kind of formal ritual and the energy flows, sometimes very "quietly" and at other times it feels like I cannot channel it quickly enough with lots of colour and feelings through my whole body.
Thanks again to Margaret for opening the Reiki door... this is a fantastic journey."
Alex Napier, Glasgow, December 2004
"My day of training with Margaret was excellent. The course content in the manual and the CD were both very very good and was well set out and thoughtfully explained.
There was plenty of time for practice and also plenty of time for people to express their thoughts, feelings and experiences. Margaret is clearly a gifted and insightful teacher with a warm and friendly manner who not only delivers the course content but her own experience too.
I had a 'spiritual experience' on the course which could have frightened me if Margaret had not been so very down to earth and matter of fact about all things spiritual! She made the experience wonderful and yet also ordinary at the same time.
She has been very helpful since whenever I have had questions or queries and answers very fully the same day and then follows up to make sure you are doing ok.
I would not hesitate to recommend your professional healing courses to others that are interested. I have been delighted by the tools provided before each course, delighted by the teaching and practice on the day and amazed constantly by the healing abilities that Reiki restores."
Janette Smithson, Glasgow, December 2004
Testimonials for 2005
"The manual seems very good and detailed. I think it is very complete and the historical info and insights into the Japanese approaches to Reiki are wonderful. The photographs are brilliant as a guide to hatsurei, self-treatment and treatment. Overall, the combination of Western and Japanese information gives a thorough grounding very quickly (I suspect I would have to read many books to get such a grounded view).
The CD is a great aid to navigating through the manual and the guided meditations are excellent! I think I will use them indefinitely. To sum up: the manual and CD together are ideal.
The day course with Margaret was wonderful. It was a relaxing day yet also quite profound for me as I experienced some lovely feelings during the empowerments.
Margaret is a sincere and caring teacher and I am in no doubt she has a great knowledge of Reiki and other spiritual subjects. To be honest, the course was (in theory) a strange thing for me to attend but I felt happy and relaxed throughout and left feeling that Reiki was right for me.
Margaret led the course with a gentle authority and I felt the empowerments and student-to-student treatments were amazing.
Overall, the course was great and I am going on to learn Reiki2."
Douglas Levick, Mid Calder, January 2005
"Well that’s me…gone and done it….after telling myself that “no way am I going to do Reiki 3”…HA! All of a sudden it just felt right…I can’t explain how or why, it just did.
It’s the icing on the cake – feels like everything has gone full circle and it has made Reiki so much simpler to practice. It feels like this is just the start, I’m looking forward to working with & learning more about Reiki.
As always Margaret is first class at explaining things and the pace of the course was just right.
I can honestly say I’m glad I found the reiki-evolution website. The materials Taggart provides for all levels are first class. I love the way Reiki is taught through this school. It is so simple and uncluttered."
Chyrel Lennox, Lochwinnoch, February 2005
"I thought the manual and CD were well presented and easy to understand. It helped a lot to go over the material before the day in Glasgow. The day I spent with Margaret was excellent, she is a very good teacher and Reiki Master. Thank you both so much!"
Lindsay Halliday, Annan, April 2005
"What a wonderful experience! As someone who never felt anything when giving or receiving Reiki, this Second Degree course with Reiki Evolution was an eye opener.
Receiving the empowerments was beautiful, I not only felt the energies but also saw colours! When practising, I could actually feel the energies, it was like an affirmation for me; I knew Reiki worked, but it is now more amazing because I can feel it.
Margaret was excellent, putting everyone at ease, and provided a lovely place to complete the course. She was very encouraging, and really helped me get to grips with the many hands technique - letting me know she could see my guides gave me even more confidence.
I have nothing but praise for the whole experience."
Julie Orr, Livingston, April 2005
"I thought the manuals and CDs for courses 1 and 2 were very good, easy to follow and well-written.
Margaret made me feel at ease straight away. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and felt things were explained clearly. It was a very relaxed atmosphere which I feel helped as there was a lot to concentrate on.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this course and particularly Margaret to others."
Jennifer Black, Glasgow, April 2005
"I very much enjoyed reading the course manual prior to attending the course, particularly the history of Reiki. I felt it provided a great foundation of knowledge to attend the course day with. I have enjoyed reading it after the course also.
I was a little nervous about the course day. However, as soon as I arrived, Margaret quickly made me feel at ease. I think she helped make it a wonderful day by being so approachable and relaxed. I felt like I could ask her any question about Reiki... which I did!
I have wanted to learn more about Reiki for a number of years now and I enjoyed and was interested in every element of the course. We had four people on the day which was great as it meant we could pair up to do energy exercises, and we could also learn from the experiences of others on the day.
The CD provided has made the daily exercises very easy to follow, and I really enjoy going onto the self-treatment meditation afterwards. The time I take out to do the exercises is one of the favourite times of the day."
Shona Gallacher, Gourock, April 2005
"Margaret's presentation of the material was excellent and she has a very caring, warm attitude which enveloped all of us.
The content of the day was very meaningful and Margaret allowed time for us to have a free flowing discussion amongst ourselves as well as keeping to her schedule.
Compared to other Reiki material I have seen, the manual is excellent (comprehensive, practical and easy to understand). I look forward to Reiki 2."
Robin Gray, Renfrew, May 2005
"My daughter and I have really enjoyed our courses for Reiki1 and Reiki2. The information was well looked into and thought about, presented in a way which was easy to read and understand. The CDs have been of great value to us, even encouraged us to do our daily exercises, nothing to try and remember, always done in the same amount of time. They are fantastic.
Margaret Craig on our second visit for Reiki2 was like seeing an old friend. She remembered us well which put us at ease right away. Her home was the venue, it was in very good order and very calming atmosphere. Margaret is an excellent teacher, she has a great manner with people, she was able to answer all questions put to her, with great insight and passion, a real pleasure to be with which made the day something we will never forget. Our greatest thanks to Taggart, Reiki and Margaret for giving us such a fantastic start on our journey."
Irene and Karen Paterson, Glenrothes, June 2005
"A very good course. Relevant content and relaxed, facilitative atmosphere. Margaret's obviously very experienced and was generous in sharing her knowledge."
Moira Walker, Bridge of Allan, June 2005
"Since the course ended I have definitely been having a detox! I initially felt tired and low but within 48 hours a calmness has taken over and I feel I can cope better. The course with Margaret was brilliant! She is so lovely, honest and down to earth. The room we were in was warm, bright and positively buzzed with Reiki energy!
Since I wasn't a good studier at school, I was apprehensive about studying the pack but I just seemed to absorb the information. It was wonderful. I love just putting on the CD in the evening to do my meditations. I am really looking forward to my next level with Margaret in August. Thanks again Taggart."
Susan Evans, Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway, June 2005
"Dear Taggart,
First of all I would like to thank you and Margaret for introducing me to Reiki in such an inspiring way. Margaret presented the Reiki principles and practice in such a beautiful, compassionate way, inspiring me to practise this wonderful form of healing.
The manual was extremely comprehensive and readable. It makes self study easy. The CD has really helped me to meditate using Hatsurei. Being guided makes it so much easier to focus.
Once I have digested all your invaluable information and done some Reiki treatments I would very much like to take this further and do the next levels."
Hilary Smith, Prestwick, Ayrshire, August 2005
"I had a wonderful day with Margaret. i spent the whole day feeling fabulous, tis ranged from throbbing sensations, feeling of calmness, intense heat and tingling sensations, and I also saw a huge kaleidoscope of colours.
I did Reiki I with another teacher and was upset at the end of the two day course: her approach was all about the glory of her and not enough about Reiki.
With Margaret it was very different and not about ego or self-promotion. The day was full of practical sessions and was all about Reiki.
I would recommend Margaret to anyone considering Reiki."
Ruth Fox, East Kilbride, August 2005
"I thoroughly enjoyed my training day with Margaret Craig. She was so kind, helpful and very patient, and explained everything so well. She gave off a presence of calm and you could not but feel she wanted to do the best for you and make it a day to remember."
Winifred McGinlay, Glasgow, August 2005
"Having the manual and CD was a great help in preparing for the Reiki First Degree course. The manual explained clearly what Reiki is and its background. The CD was especially useful in enforcing the manual. Having the guided meditations made the whole process so much more enjoyable.
The day itself was relaxed and Margaret was very welcoming and down to earth. She took us through the various experiences with kindness and gentleness and was very approachable.
I came away feeling quite "strange". That feeling dissipated quite quickly to be replaced by a sense of calmness and well being and I am glad to have taken my Reiki First Degree."
Matilda Hoey, Elderslie, Renfrewshire, August 2005
"The Reiki First Degree course was wonderful. I had a great day, and have continued to feel the effects of the course into the days that followed. Margaret was a great teacher, who made us all feel very much at ease, and at home, if you like, and as a very centred and spiritual person was able to offer guidance on many different levels. I've already done one or two 'short burst' treatments, as well as Hatsurei every day and a few self-healings. I am certainly planning to do the Second Degree course.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Taggart, Margaret and "Reiki Evolution" for helping me to commence on a path in my life that I've been hoping to go down for some time. The support network is fantastic, and the time that people are prepared to put into helping and guiding others is wonderful.
Oh, almost forgot the manual and CD have been most helpful from the outset, and I am continuing to use them as a source of reference and point of guidance!"
Kirsty Davison, Alexandria, Dunbartonshire, August 2005
“Content: having the course material to study beforehand is a great way of learning and not having to take notes on the day a real bonus! I was particularly drawn to Reiki Evolution style of teaching as it emphasises both modern Western approaches and the original teachings and encourages an intuitive approach.
Margaret was very patient, helpful teacher who interacted with the class well. Overall a great experience and the first step of an exciting lifelong journey – thanks very much.”
Duncan MacDuff, Edinburgh, August 2005
“As with my First Degree, I found Margaret as welcoming and friendly as ever. She has a very calming and positive outlook when you’re with her.
After my Second Degree I have taken a good hard look at my life and priorities. I have made some subtle changes for the best and, as Margaret told me, Reiki has a way of changing things gently around us when it’s for our highest good.
Thank you again for everything.”
Susan Evans, Lockerbie, August 2005
“The course was excellent and Margaret is an extremely good Reiki Master and Teacher. I can recommend both Reiki1 and Reiki 2 with Reiki Evolution and Margaret!
Thank you.”
Lindsay Halliday, Annan, August 2005
“I thought that the Reiki First Degree was amazing. I had so many wonderful experiences. I have had Reiki treatments in the past but actually acting as a Reiki channel far surpasses those.
Margaret was fantastic; she was very informative and put everyone at ease immediately with her caring and down to earth attitude. Her explanations of just trusting and letting the Reiki ‘be’ was easy to accept.
The course manual and CD have been my bible over the last month or so. I think that the way the courses have been structured is definitely the most productive. It really gets you into living a Reiki lifestyle.
Finally, thanks to Taggart for setting up these healing courses. There are many out there that want to add their own little stem to Reiki. Taggart seems to strive for the ‘truth’.
I’m looking forward to Reiki Second Degree; in the meantime I’m practising and sharing.
Thanks.”
Vikki Fulton, Kilwinning, September 2005
“Margaret made us all feel very welcome and very quickly put us at out ease. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow.
During the feedback sessions after each empowerment Margaret listened intently to what each of us had to say about our experience. She was very empathetic and clearly understood what we had been going through.
Margaret encouraged us during the morning and afternoon (treatment) sessions and helped to build up our confidence as we felt our way through the exercises.
The manual and CD helped me to prepare for the day’s course with Margaret and I felt up to speed by the time the course started. The actual experience of the course and empowerments was far greater than I anticipated.”
Ken Hoey, Elderslie, September 2005
“I cannot praise you and Margaret Craig highly enough for the wonderful experience I had during my Reiki I course. The manual covered everything I needed to know on the day and more besides. It was very well thought out and well presented. The CD is just amazing and I use it every day for my self-treatments and Hatsurei ho.
The day itself was more than I could ever have imagined. Margaret is the most warm, kind, compassionate woman you could ever hope to meet, and her presentation first class. My empowerments were ‘magical’; I felt completely and utterly at peace with myself and the world.
I ended the day feeling confident that I could use Reiki to treat others – which I have done with lots of positive feedback. My family have also commented on how much calmer and happier I have been since completing the course. I have already booked up to do my Reiki2.
Bless you both for making my initiation into Reiki so memorable.”
Margaret Williamson, Cumbernauld, September 2005
“What a wonderful lady Margaret Craig is. I have now completed both my First and Second Degrees with this great lady and cannot recommend her highly enough. As a teacher of Reiki she is exceptional. There is never a point in the day where you feel unaware of what you are doing, as she guides you through the course step-by-step, ready and willing to answer all your questions.
What makes her “extra special” is her encouragement to e-mail her at any time after the course should any questions arise. I look forward to doing my Master/Teacher course with Margaret in the not too distant future.”
Margaret Williamson, Cumbernauld, October 2005
“It is not often that I am lost for words but the RMT course with Margaret was amazing! Having read the manual many times and listened to the CD at every opportunity the whole two days crystallized everything with ease for me and also gave me some other things to think about.
Reiju empowerments felt safe, simple and powerful, in contrast to the Western attunements, that, while more elaborate, also felt to me to be lacking in something, almost like a plastic version of the real thing… not as solid? Like I said, the words are not so easy but the feeling was definitely there.
The kotodama were also very interesting for me. Feeling the resonance in my body then the energy joining this created powerful waves that felt to be physically moving my body.
The course materials were excellent and made the whole transition to the training days so much easier. The CDs and DVD are a great idea to anchor the detail. I had some fun following the movements on the DVD trying to get the “flow”… but it works!
And of course many thanks to Margaret for an enjoyable and enlightening two days guiding me onwards in this journey. Her down to earth approach works well and I believe she is a great asset to Reiki Evolution.”
Alex Napier, Glasgow, November 2005
“I found the course content an excellent follow-on from First Degree. It is very comprehensive and the explanations of the symbols, increasing the flow of energy and the distant healing sections were both fascinating and instructive.
Margaret’s presentation was very good and she took us through each section step by step, explaining everything clearly, answering our questions and giving us time to get to grips with one section before moving on to the next. Her explanations and instructions during he healing techniques was excellent and she was at all times encouraging and positive.
The manual helped me considerably and gave me an insight into the course before going, which brought me up to speed with the content and allowed me to concentrate solely on Margaret’s presentation. I keep referring to the manual whenever I have some doubt, to renew my confidence.
The CD was very useful and I did play it over and over again in the car. I have found the ‘distant healing’ meditation track very useful and use it constantly since attending the course.
Thank you for an excellent and well rounded course.”
Ken Hoey, Elderslie, November 2005
Testimonials for 2006
“I cannot emphasise how much I got out of the course. To be honest I can’t think of any faults with the course. Everything is done so professionally and I can only praise Margaret. What a wonderful lady. From the moment I met her I was totally at ease.”
Stuart Rider, Fife, February 2006
“I thoroughly enjoyed my Second Degree course. The training is very informal, and Margaret creates a relaxed and safe environment. I like the small group, which allowed for more one to one teaching from Margaret.”
Bernadette Wrighthouse, Argyll & Bute, February 2006
“The course with Margaret was very enjoyable and the dynamics in the group were good. It felt like a girly weekend with your friends at times.
The course manual and CDs were excellent. It is a lot to get through but the combination of teaching methods and repetition make sure you learn your stuff.
I look forward to a lifetime of learning Reiki and wonder what is next?”
Elizabeth O’Kane, Glasgow, February 2006
“Excellent Day. Margaret made us feel totally relaxed to ensure maximum benefit.
I believe we all felt “the hand” of Reiki on us although each in our different ways. Changes are subtle but I expected that. Should be made compulsory at school – would be a happier world!!”
Allan Scott, Renfrewshire, March 2006
“From my initial application I have been extremely impressed by the entire course. The web site is easy to use and full of relevant information. The manual and CDs have been a constant companion and each time I read the manual I learn something else!
Taggart has such a fantastic voice and his tone positively encourages a sense of wellbeing. Never have I been able to focus and meditate to this level before.
I cannot speak highly enough of Margaret Craig, my Reiki Master. When I attended the Glasgow course run by her, I was overwhelmed by her compassion. She has been an inspiration. I learned so much from her on the day and left the course motivated to develop my Reiki further. She has a gentle manner but is an excellent teacher.
I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in learning more about Reiki.
Since completing my level one I have used the hatsurei and self-treatment meditation CD daily and already feel calmer and more balanced as a person.
My 14 year old daughter and 10 year old son both ask me to practise on them, and love the “feeling of Reiki”. My husband falls asleep.
Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful healing course to me.”
Christine Lawson, Paisley, March 2006
“The course has become one of the best days of my life. The most special and fulfilling experience was provided by the presence of Reiki and very sensitively taught by Margaret. This has changed my life and I have decided to go on to Second Degree.
The course book and CDs were an integral part and wonderfully put together, giving an easy understanding both of the history of Japanese Reiki – but also its relevance to modern living.
The course materials prepared me for the ‘live’ course and seamlessly joined knowledge, empowerments and practice on the day.
Thanks to all,”
Stuart Watson, North Lanarkshire, May 2006
“Margaret was fantastic. Her enthusiasm and warmth were there just as much, if not more, than at my Reiki First Degree course.
On the day there was only one other student which made it a really close environment to be working in. We all connected really well.
I would recommend Reiki Evolution highly to anyone interested.”
Christine Lawson, Paisley, June 2006
”It’s difficult to know where to start! I was feeling a “pull” towards Reiki for quite some time before making enquiries about the First Degree course. There were many on offer on the Internet but, for some reason, I was drawn to your course as I felt it would be more comprehensive and would have a professional approach – and I have not been disappointed.
I wasn’t sure what to expect before the course but when I received your material I was relieved that I could study in some detail beforehand and this helped take away any anxiety I had felt.
I was very excited on the day of the course and when I arrived at Margaret’s house I received a very warm welcome and immediately felt “at home”. After the initial introductions it didn’t take the group long to ‘gel’ and though it seemed to happen quite naturally, I have no doubt that Margaret’s friendly, open delivery of the course helped set the atmosphere for the day. She was very reassuring and ready and willing to answer all our queries. She constantly encouraged us and banished any uncertainties we had about our own abilities.
The whole course was an amazing experience for me. I kept wondering why I should be so “special” that I was drawn to find out more about Reiki. I’m still not sure why it should be but I know that Reiki will now always be a part of my life and I wonder how I survived without it. I no longer feel the loneliness I used to and I feel very fortunate to be (even a tiny) part of the bigger Reiki experience that’s happening all over the world.
I’ve been reading the e-mails that have flowed since joining the internet discussion group and I’m amazed at the loving and caring there is out there and feel sad for all the people who aren’t part of it.
Since the course I have been in touch with Margaret on several occasions and she has always been eager and willing to offer advice and always interested in what I have to say. I intend to keep in touch with Margaret and will be joining the Reiki shares that she holds regularly in Glasgow.
I have been on a permanent “high” since the First Degree course and can’t wait to learn more. I am hoping to move on to the Second Degree level in the near future and can think of no better person to deliver it than Margaret.
I should also add that the course material and CD are an invaluable reference for me. You have thought of everything to present a perfect introduction to Reiki!”
Susie Appleby, Borders, August 2006
”I found Margaret to be a very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting teacher. Everything was explained very clearly and concisely but she did not ‘lay it down in stone’, letting us take what we needed.
Especially powerful was the Reiju empowerment on the Sunday, when ‘someone’ blew through my third eye and it wasn’t Margaret! This was the first time I have experienced something like this during an attunement/empowerment.
I found the materials to be very high quality and easy to follow. I especially liked the CD recordings and the DVD. I would recommend Reiki Evolution to anyone interested in Reiki.”
Janet Burke, North Lanarkshire, August 2006
“All of the admin. was handled very effectively. I arrived with a feeling of confidence. The day exceeded all of my expectations. Margaret was a good communicator and had a very “enabling” style. Throughout the entire day I felt inspired and motivated, yet also calm and comforted by the whole process.
I would recommend Margaret to anyone who is considering pursuing Reiki.”
Laurina Strachan, North Lanarkshire, September 2006
”Having come from another lineage this was my first experience of Reiki Evolution. I have been more than impressed with the pre course material and found this to be an excellent foundation for the day in question. The manual provided me with a wide variety of information that I can refer to at any time. A resource which I have used frequently. The guided meditation CD has been a breath of fresh air, and ideal guide to the basics of traditional Reiki practice.
My Reiki Master and teacher Margaret made the day in question extremely enjoyable. Her relaxed and down to earth approach quickly put me at ease, as it can be nerve wracking (although exciting) meeting new people.
Margaret’s approach to teaching was very relaxed and she did not overload us students with too much information. She injected her sense of humour into the proceedings which certainly brought a great deal of laughter within the group. I would not hesitate to contact Margaret if I ever had any queries, as I am fully aware that this would be encouraged.
Lastly, it has to be said, I would have no hesitation in recommending Reiki Evolution and Margaret Craig to any of my friends wishing to embark on their Reiki journey. Reiki Evolution has opened my eyes to all the wonderful things that Reiki has to offer, something for which I will always be extremely thankful.”
Karen Jamieson, South Ayrshire, September 2006
”The manuals are ideal for studying in sections and dipping in and out of as needed. Even though I no longer require the CDs to prompt and guide I still use them most days as I find the music and verbal guidance relaxing.
Margaret Craig’s gentle and intuitive approach made for a very special day. I can only praise her for sharing her experience and knowledge whilst promoting the simplicity and effectiveness found in the course manuals.
Thank you for sharing with us the original teachings.”
Ruth Gilmour, Ayrshire, September 2006
”Your material is fantastic, especially the Reiki meditations CD – it really supports my daily practice.
Having previously done Reiki 2nd Degree with a different teacher I can say I much prefer your method of sending out the materials in advance for home study; it allows the course day itself to be much more relaxed and flowing as you feel fully prepared in advance.
Your simpler more intuitive style of Reiki really resonates with me. Everything I felt ‘not quite right’ about when I originally studied/practised has been answered with your presentation – it works for me!
Margaret is clearly an intuitive and gifted healer; it was a pleasure to meet her and be under her guidance.
A big thank you to Margaret, yourself and my lineage of teachers for bringing Reiki back into my life in such a beautiful and powerful way.
With respect and gratitude,”
Tracy Brown, Edinburgh, October 2006
”Margaret’s calm, relaxed manner made the day very enjoyable. Her knowledge and style of teaching ensured that I left her confident of how to use my new skills. The practical session was excellent with Margaret on hand to demonstrate and give valuable advice. Margaret is a great representative for the company and I will definitely go back to her when I am ready to take my Reiki Master course.”
Irene Russell, Edinburgh, October 2006
”The course content, presentation, manual and CDs were excellent! Everything about Reiki Evolution so far has been excellent and I believe I couldn’t have picked a better organisation to learn from. First class manuals, CDs, ongoing support etc…”
Margaret Craig was fantastic on my Reiki 1st Degree and I will definitely be booking 2nd Degree in the New Year 2007. I’ve already had a few positive results after giving Reiki healing to family and also myself. Thanks to Taggart King for making this course available and to all involved, especially Margaret Craig who made the whole day an amazing, enlightening and enjoyable experience.
P.S. After serious critical illnesses (multiple, in 2003), I luckily recovered. My knees had been very bad for the last 3 years constantly. The pain and discomfort reduced a lot the day after my First Degree!! Two weeks later they are still improving! This is my proof!”
Tony Quigg, Renfrewshire, November 2006
”I have completed Reiki 1, 2 and Masters courses with Margaret Craig. I was attracted to Reiki Evolution through the apparent quality of the materials, lineage and the continuing evolvement promised. In all these aspects, promises have truly been met.
Margaret is a very good, knowledgeable, open, practical and helpful teacher. She enabled an enriching time on all three courses.”
Walker Fisher, South Ayrshire, December 2006
”Having undertaken Reiki I with another Master it was interesting to compare the different methods. The CDs and course material were invaluable. When I attended my Reiki I course I did it with no expectations and very little knowledge. I think I would have gained much more from the course had I had the support materials that you supply.
I also enjoyed the fact that you limit the number of people who can attend your courses. This certainly contributes to a more intimate Master/pupil situation, much more conducive to learning.
I found Margaret to be a sympathetic, enthusiastic and patient instructor and guide. I found the day to be extremely enjoyable and inspirational.
I will certainly work at developing my Reiki and will hopefully continue to gain confidence in my practice, proceeding to Master level when the time is right.”
Marion Johnson, Aberdeenshire, December 2006
”The course materials were excellent for preparing for the live training. I used the CD every day before and since the live course.
Since I was familiar with the materials I was able to relax and just ‘experience’ the day. Margaret was welcoming and made the whole day an enjoyable experience. The ‘ambience’ of her home provided an excellent setting, helping to gain maximum benefit from the day. Thanks!”
Mari Deans, Troon, December 2006
Testimonials for 2007
”I had a wonderful day with Margaret in Newton Mearns. Prior to the live day, I really enjoyed reading the Reiki 2 manual. It was interesting and easy to digest. I have read it a couple of times since the course also.
I had such a special day whilst doing Reiki 1, I wasn’t sure if Reiki 2 could be as good… it was! It exceeded my expectations. Margaret was so welcoming and the other students were very friendly. We seemed to cover so much on the day… but it didn’t feel rushes at all. I particularly enjoyed practising all the different techniques in the manual with Margaret’s guidance.
The course CD was very easy to listen to and digest.
It is difficult to think of ways the course could be improved, because it was everything I hoped it would be… and more, Thank you!”
Shona Gallacher, Renfrewshire, January 2007
“Reiki 2: I can only repeat what I said about Reiki 1: the course content, presentation, manual and CD were excellent! The whole Reiki Evolution organisation comes highly recommended from me to anyone whom I think may be ready, or can benefit from Reiki. Margaret Craig was her usual excellent! She lives up to her story about herself featured on your website. She’s had a good long enlightening journey, in her life and lifetimes.
I will definitely be doing Master/Teacher hopefully by the end of 2007, but may do “Deepening” course first.”
Tony Quigg, Renfrewshire, February 2007
“The course was excellent. Margaret put us all at ease, was very welcoming, and knew “her stuff”. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and found the whole experience enlightening. When I do my second degree I will be with Margaret as I found her so easy going, pleasant and compassionate. She was very encouraging throughout the day. Thank you.”
Gill Green, Glasgow, February 2007
“The course materials (manual and CDs) were easy to follow and understand. The meditation CD was particularly good and I enjoy using it. It was nice having the manual to read and re-read, then listening to the CD to reinforce points. I felt well prepare to embark on my course.
My day with Margaret was wonderful. She is a warm, welcoming person who put me at my ease straight away. The course was set at a good pace, instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I was given plenty of time to ask questions and try out different techniques. I loved having the time to explore the different energies before moving on.
Margaret was sensitive to my needs and her enthusiasm and encouragement was an inspiration. I now feel confident in channelling Reiki and look forward to my continued growth. Many thanks to Margaret and yourself.”
Gail Wood, North Ayrshire, November 2007
“I have just attended a course with Margaret Craig in Glasgow and had the most wonderful day. I had only heard a little about Reiki but I was drawn to it and after the live course I realised that I had been using it in some form for some time now.
I thought the course was really well structured and Margaret explained every step very clearly and brought the whole day to life. The empowerments in the morning and afternoon treatment were fantastic experiences and although your manual says that you do not need the light shows I was lucky enough to get this and it all added to the enjoyment of the day.
I think the course materials were extremely helpful, especially the CD as I amnot greta at taking time out to sit and read and these could be played anywhere. Being able to sit and relax and be taken through the meditations is great.
Margaret is a lovely person and I felt very comfortable and relaxed in her presence. She made the day special in so many ways and I knew as soon as I stepped through her door that I would like to take Reiki to the next level.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be part of something wonderful.”
NL, Ayrshire, November 2007
“I enjoyed the Reiki experience on 17th November and was amazed at how I felt during the Reiju empowerments I received that day.
The manuals and CDs I have received are excellent and invaluable before the live course and afterwards also. I am doing hatsurei every day and also self treatment before I go to bed at night. Your voice is so calming and makes me completely relax!
I did a full treatment on my daughter last week and she said she was desperate to feel my hands to see if they were as hot as she had felt them being on certain areas. She was convinced I was moving my hands back and forward over knees (which I was not, of course).
Thank you for allowing me to experience Reiki with Reiki Evolution as you are extremely professional and uncomplicated in your approach. Margaret is a very lovely lady and I am looking forward to seeing her again on my Reiki Second Degree course.”
Mary Duncan, Blantyre, November 2007
Testimonials for 2008
“The course content was very easy to read and having the CD as well made it easier, more like having a tutor. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The manual is very easy to read and understand. The pictures are helpful in showing various hand positions.
I especially like the Reiki Meditations CD, I use this every morning. Having the CD encourages me to carry out Hatsurei and the self-treatment meditation. Meditation is something that I have wanted to practise for quite some time and the CD is helping me to quiet my mind.
The live training was an enjoyable day. Margaret made me feel very welcome and relaxed and her enthusiasm for Reiki certainly rubbed off on me. I have since had several questions that I have e-mailed to Margaret and her quick response is much appreciated. Knowing that there is a support mechanism there helps to build confidence.
Overall it was fantastic and I look forward to doing Reiki 2 in the near future.”
Christine Lang, South Ayrshire, March 2008
“When I arrived Margaret was very warm and put me at my ease straight away, which was lovely as I was quite stressed from getting lost in the car! I felt immediately welcomed and relaxed.
The course materials were wonderful. Fully informative and clear and I felt very well prepared for the day.
The live training was great and I’m so glad I did it this way. It was wonderful to meet and talk to other students and Margaret after studying alone. It’s lovely to be able to share experiences during empowerments and meditation. I’m so glad the course size was so small as you really felt involved and Margaret always gave us each an opportunity to voice our thoughts at each stage. I particularly enjoyed my day as I got on so well with one of the other students and we worked really well together.
The venue was also great. Margaret’s house is very relaxing to be in and has a lovely atmosphere. All in all everything was as I had hoped it would be and I really enjoyed the day.
I think everything about Reiki Evolution is really great, from the material, to the live day, to support afterwards. I’m so glad I decided to train through you.”
Emma Versteeg, Argyll and Bute, April 2008
“I thoroughly enjoyed the live day course with Margaret in Glasgow, completely meeting my expectations. It was fantastic to meet Margaret and Nikki (the other student), a truly magical day.”
Imme Hassan, Avon, April 2008
“I took my First Degree elsewhere and I appreciate the fact that I was able to have access to Reiki Evolution’s First Degree course materials before taking my Second Degree.
The course materials are excellent, the manuals are very comprehensive and straightforward. I enjoy listening to the audio CDs and I listen to the meditation CD every day.
It was great to have the course materials before attending the course.
Margaret’s approach to the Second Degree course was very friendly and informal. She quickly put us at ease and everything we were required to know for the course was in our course materials therefore there was no requirement to take notes. Margaret was an excellent teacher and throughout the course of the day she was able to bring out the best in me helping me to realise my potential in practising Reiki intuitively and using earth ki and heavenly ki, and practising oneness.
I look forward to maintaining contact with Margaret and taking part in treatment swaps or Reiki shares, meeting up for meditation and distant healing.”
Tilly Pye, Ayrshire, July 2008
"Before deciding to book a course I had confused myself for some time reading online about the supposedly complicated (and at times seemingly convoluted!) practice of Reiki. One of the first things that jumped out at me about your courses therefore was the simplicity and intuitive focus promoted: I believe this is sorely lacking in this day and age. Also, I became interested in Reiki as a personal endeavor (although it will be great to try to help others, of course!) and until discovering your website found it difficult to read anything online that promoted this important aspect of Reiki first and foremost. The final thing that made Reiki Evolution 'click' as the obvious choice for me was the focus on Japanese origin; on Usui's Reiki. Having lived in Japan for a year, I was disappointed not to come across Reiki at all, although with so many definitions of Reiki around, as you mentioned in the manual, it was hard to know what to look for!
The straightforward approach to Reiki put across in your manual is so user friendly and helps avoid cluttering and complicating something that to me is beautiful because it is simple. I was also struck by the fact that we are all connected to Reiki and all capable of experiencing this energy in our lives, which I had always been unsure of previously (that is, if I was 'able' or 'skilled' enough). Reading the manual was therefore also empowering and got me excited about Reiki as part of a personal lifestyle development, not as a one-off transaction between myself and a customer.
The layout of the course was also very helpful, as I could enjoy learning at my leisure before attending the course, and it has been beneficial to look back at the manual and have a range of approaches to choose from when carrying out various treatments. Having the CDs for reference is really useful, and helped me build confidence in carrying out energy exercises without any interruptions. For me, the only addition to make it perfect would be to have the background tracks for the meditations added to the CD also.
On the day of the course, Margaret was very welcoming and extremely supportive: she was sensitive to and very understanding of any uncertainties I had and this really helped me make the most of the day! It was a lovely atmosphere to work in and it felt great to have the support and encouragement of another person from whom I could learn so much: this made the day more personal and I was glad to be able to ask a few questions! I had some wonderful experiences and feelings when working with the Reiki energy and during my third empowerment and, although this is not the most important thing as I'm well aware, it was very special and really had an impact on me.
It is very exciting to now be aware of this energy and notice how it can feel, but mainly to feel so relaxed and at peace within myself and cherish the 'me time' each day. When I have these daily experiences it can make me physically achy, and other days feels very powerful and moving emotionally, which either way feels very healing.
Overall, the course was beyond my expectations - it was a life changing day for me and I now feel less stressed, more content day-to- day and better able to cope with challenges after only a fortnight! It really was a very special day and I'm so glad I finally made up my mind to go for it!"
Laura Warnett, Glasgow, August 2008
"I'm new to Reiki and had very little understanding of what Reiki was all about. Trying to decipher what true Reiki was in the masses of information in the public domain was very difficult.
However something must have pointed me in your direction and I'm very glad of that guidance.
I found your web site, course materials and CD's to be very clear and concise. The quality of the materials are second to none and reflected the work and dedication you must have put into their production. It's great to deal with a very professional and well run organization.
On day of my live training Margaret was very welcoming and put me at ease. For me the inner joy that the day brought was incredible. My experiences on the day were so deeply moving I shall never forget them. Margaret has such a deep understanding of how to guide/point us in the right direction and with her compassionate manner she made the whole experience so special.
I look forward to continuing my studies with Reiki Evolution & Margaret Craig.
In deepest gratitude."
Jim Dickson, Edinburgh, November 2008
Testimonials for 2009
“On entering Margaret’s home I was met with peacefulness and serenity. As a Wiccan I am open minded to many things but I must say the Reiki attunement was the most powerful experience I have ever had.
Margaret’s open minded compassionate nature made me feel able to fully express my feelings and thoughts. I feel this is the start of a whole new life filled with balance, harmony and peace.
Having got home my hormonal teenager decided to play up which would normally result in me reacting negatively. I offered him a Reiki session and after he received it he said he felt the stress pour from his hands and feet, he has been much calmer since.
Reiki is helping my life so much already, thank you to Reiki Evolution, thank you to Margaret and thank you to Reiki.”
Tracy Carswell, North Lanarkshire, January 2009
"Just a quick note to thank you for the course I attended with Margaret Craig on Saturday. I had a wonderful day doing the live course and it was truely a magical experience. Margaret is a wonderful teacher and I am looking forward to completing the 2nd degree with her and then proceeding onto the Master Course, this does sound ambitious but it is the path I am wishing to take. Your course work is first class, your manual and CD's are fantastic, very clear and precise with the instructions, I was so relaxed following them and did not have any problems understanding them.
Now that I have completed 1st degree, I am now getting down to the practicing, lots of family and friends being used as guinea pigs."
Malcom McGee, West Lothian, June 2009
"I really enjoyed my Reiki Second Degree. I had been apprehensive in what to expect and wondered if I was ‘ready’ to move on from 1st degree. Although I had practised as regularly as I could, work and home constraints meant that it could not always be an every day experience, however the encouragement received from Margaret gave me the confidence to feel that I was ready. Post the course I have felt much more confident in my approach to both self healing and healing for others and now really enjoy giving treatments when asked. I am much more determined to make Reiki a daily practice and find the CDs a tremendous help settling me into meditative mode. I have also felt that my intuition has been heightened and my psychic development improved since taking the course.
The course notes were comprehensive and easy to follow, the addition of the CDs was invaluable for me as I had little time to prepare for the course and being able to listen to these whilst driving back and forward to work meant I had covered all the necessary material before the day.
I hope to progress with Reiki and would like at some point in the future to do a Reiki Masters course with Reiki Evolution."
Georgina Spence, Borders, June 2009
"I was very happy with the course content; it exceeded my expectations. The manual was both clear and concise; the information given was excellent and well laid out. I found (and still do find) the cds a wonderful tool to aid learning and help with meditations. Having said that, after a long day it could be quite difficult to listen to the cd's as Taggart King's voice was so relaxing!
The live training day with Margaret was fantastic. She made me feel very welcome and comfortable. She was very clear with her instructions but welcomed questions ( a great way to make students feel less intimidated if they are unsure). I am not really sure what I expected on the day (although details were given in the letter) but I know I left feeling happy with the training I've received, very secure in my knowledge and excited to start my journey with Reiki.
In short, I am delighted I chose Reiki Evolution and will definitely be coming back for the 2nd course.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience."
Jennifer Hyland, West Lothian, October 2009
"I found the couse very interesting. When I arrived at Margaret's I was pleasantly surprised to meet the other two students who although much younger than my self were just as nervous and a little apprehensive. margaret soon put us at our ease and hopefully we entered into the Reiki spirit.
The course covered as much as I feel I could handle. Margaret answered any questions clearly. Her enthusiasm for alternative therapies was inspiring.
The course manual and cds was extremely informative. I did find the human touches encouraging especially when they expressed self doubt on behalf of the practitioner. The comments from students and clients was also useful.
I look forward to reiki2 when I feel I am ready and meeting margaret once more."
Margaret Crawford, North Lanarkshire, November 2009
"I loved the course so much I have already signed up for the 2nd degree course. Margaret is an excellent teacher and is very good at building your confidence, which I needed.
The manuals are of a very high standard and I thought that having the manual in CD format was very helpful as I could listen to the course material while traveling to/from work.
When I was researching the courses there were a lot of choices but i'm glad I opted for Reiki Evolution.
Sharon Forbes, Glasgow, NOvember 2009
"Margaret put me completely at ease. I found the whole day very inspiring and the content of the course just seemed to flow in a seamless fashion. I felt like I learned a great deal of information in quite an informal setting. I found Margaret to be a lovely lady. She is clearly very knowledgable and great at training on Reiki and also made the sessions good fun which helped us relax and be more able to throw ourselves into the practical work.
I personally felt some very intense feelings whilst being treated by my fellow particpants and have enjoyed practising at home. I can not suggest any improvements and would look forward to attending the next level 2 when I am more practiced at level 1."
Pamela Milne, Glasgow, November 2009
"I wasn't sure what to expect from the RMT course and was rather nervous however Margaret made me feel very much at ease throughout the weekend. I really enjoyed the variety of exercises. Although there was a lot to cover in the 2 days, it was presented in a relaxed way that gave plenty opportunity for discussion/questions. The pre course material was very useful. I particularly liked the fact that the material wasn't restricted to one school of thought allowing the student to choose for themselves. I did level 1&2 with another teacher and although I enjoyed this very much, I always felt that something was missing. With your course/materials I felt that I had found the missing piece. Thank you. I feel I am still going through a bit of a clearance from the course but know that it is all good."
Clare Elliott, Glasgow, December 2009
"I attended a live course with Margaret Craig and prepared myself with your home study material prior to the course. I like how the manual is complemented with the CD as the CD concretes what has been read within the manual. Receiving both the manual and CD also gives good flexibility to cover the material through listening or reading, The CD has proved invaluable for Hatsurei meditation and self treating after attending the course.
The relaxed surroundings and welcome that Margaret provided was excellent. Her home is a sanctuary and I automatically relaxed in her company and the peaceful atmosphere within her home.
I attended the course with an open mind and no expectations, so was impressed to feel sensations from the energy work and treatments I carried out and received. I also received good feedback yesterday from Margaret that a lady attending the course had received some benefit to her arthritic knees after the treatment we gave her on the course. After the course I felt deeply relaxed and had a very deep sleep that evening.
The live course and study material has met all my expectations and I cannot find fault.
I am enjoying the foundation the First Degree Course has given me and look forward to attending the Second Degree course with Margaret."
Elizabeth Lang, Renfrewshire, December 2009
"I attended my 1st degree Course in Glasgow with Margaret Craig on 12 December 2009. From the outset, Margaret put me at ease and created a relaxing environment which made the learning process a pleasure. She explained everything in depth and I really felt I grasped the significance Reiki could have in my life.
Prior to attending, I enjoyed my studying experience with the well composed literature and loved the CDs which gave me the step by step process.
This whole experience was of great benefit to me and I am looking forward to developing my Reiki experiences."
Janice Barr, renfrewshire, December 2009
Testimonials for 2010
"The course content was comprehensive and indepth but without being overwhelming. To be honest, although it's only the second course I have completed with Reiki Evolution (and definitely not the last), the course was what I have come to expect from you - brilliant. The course materials were fantastic; very easy to follow, clear and concise. I particularly like having the manual and cds there to refresh my memory at any stage - not something I have seen other course providers offering.
The live training day with Margaret proved again why it was the right decision to study with you; she is a wonderful asset to Reiki Evolution. A warm welcome and calm and relaxed atmosphere enabled me to ask any questions without feeling daft and experience the day to its fullest. Margaret's ongoing support (both on the day and since) shows her commitment to her students and helped to boost my confidence when treating people.
I can honestly say I have never enjoyed learning anything as much. I am really looking forward to doing another course with you soon."
Jennifer Hyland, West Lothian, January 2010
"Once again your dedication to informing us, without any bias, about Mikao Usui's original system is such a breath of fresh air compared to what is out in the public domain. For many years I've had a deep interest in Japan and what you are teaching fits so well with my humble understanding of the Japanese culture.
Your format for pre course study, support and all your documentation is comprehensive and much valued.
My weekend course with Margaret was one of those special moments in my life when you know that you are in the right place at the right time. It's like visiting a close friend; she makes you feel so welcome. Her compassion and understanding shines. Her expertise in guiding you through all that is needed to be taught and the support she gives through your experiences on the day and after the course is wonderful. Margaret is a fantastic representative for Reiki Evolution in Scotland.
I look forward to my journey on the Reiki path."
Jim Dickson, Edinburgh, February 2010
"My day with Margaret was just right, very informal, relaxed and welcoming. Despite reading the manual and practising the meditations daily for over 6 weeks prior to my course I really didn't know what to expect as I was never able to feel the energy when practising alone, the odd tingle but nothing to write home about. It was quite overwhelming when Margaret started the empowerments, the world was a technical of purples blues and greens and my body temperature was all over the place but I really liked it. After lunch when we moved on to the treatments I was shocked at the power of the energy on my partners areas of discomfort (which were not discussed prior to treatment).
In the week following the course I have to admit that my emotions have been all over the place. Thankfully after sleeping most of this weekend this has subsided and I feel a renewed energy for life and a lot of the things I have been putting off!
Margaret is a wonderful teacher whom I would recommend to anyone interested in Reiki."
