Hi All!
We would like to take reiki further, and undertake a University PhD
Research combining Reiki and Arts/Images (Once you do Reiki you see Images in your mind, so there is a "link" between Reiki/Spiritualism and Arts/Paintings/Drawings).
We believe all people can benefit from Reiki, and we want to spread
Reiki to more people - by introducing it to the "academic" University life.
Anyone heard of a UK University that deals with Integrated Therapies
(thats the Reiki part) and Humanities (thats the Art part)?
We see Life as the Creation of people themselves through : Thought, Word, and Deed.
We have created a Proposal - titled : "Life in the Image and Likeness;
Investigation into the sources of Creativity".
The "Source of Creativity" is the name we chose for Reiki/The Universse/The Divine/God - and we wish to Invesitage it.
We are now looking for a "proper" University to do the research, and for ideas, if anyone have any.
Thanks
Many Blessings and Love
Natalie and Gil Dekel
Reiki Masters / Graphic Designers

wow, talk about digging up old threads.... 21st March 2004
I've often though of putting down the images I see on paper, but it's just trying to remember them until I have the time and then I know that trying to get the correct representation will be one helluva task. I can't imagine, with my art skills, the picture coming out how I actually saw it.
Love and Reiki Hugs

I have an M.Th. from the University of Liverpool (though studied at the University of Chester) and the MA programmes at Chester, in the Theology & Religious Studies department, includes an MA in Contemporary Spirituality, with modules such as :
- The New Age: Contemporary Spiritualities and Western Counterculture[*]Spirituality and Contemporary Popular Culture[*]Screening Scripture: Bible and Film
Although the last one concerns film-making, what I'm getting at is the crossover between Religious Studies / contemporary spirituality and the arts, and to me your project would fit into that crossover. I did the first one (New Age) as part of my MTh and there's a lot of flexibility there. Anyway - hope this is of some use to you. I'm really interested in your project - I like artwork / design myself and I'd like to be kept posted, if that's OK

Well, Giles, maybe it was buried but not quite dead, in view of the current interest 
Maybe the original posters have subscribed to the thread and been waiting for replies 
Fascinating - may it continue.
