Professional Reijukido
In the early 1990's I did an Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki course(Traditional Takata line) level 1 and 2 in Iceland. To begin with, I used it quite allot but never really experienced anything big with it. Yes, people told me that I had warm hands but I had also had that before Reiki. I did not really see any big effects from using the Reiki so I more or less stopped using it. My interest moved to other healing tools such as The Bach Flower Remedies.
Last February I met Jose at an open house in Unity and got a 15 minute Reiki/Reijukido treatment from him and after that he invited me to come and practice at Balansepunktet the coming Tuesday. Since then I have been there every week to reawaken my Reiki/Reijukido.
The third week at Balansepunktet I got a Reijukido attunement and then I started to get a different feedback from the people I was giving Reiki/Reijukido to and I could feel my energies becoming a lot stronger. In Mai I was initiated into level 1 of Reijukido, in June I was initiated into level 2 and my Reiki/Reijukido channeling energy has gotten really strong.
Some comments I have gotten since I got initiated into Reijukido are:
"It felt like there was an extra pair of hands on me!"
"I felt very safe under the treatment"
"Very strong energies"
"Your hands stayed behind when you moved!"
"It felt as you were in two places at once"
"Suddenly I felt so relaxed"
“I thought that there was someone else also giving Reiki/Reijukido to me”
I am now giving Reiki/Reijukido sessions, hands on and long distance with great results, to both people and animals.

Change for better
My first experience with Reiki was for 10 years ago, when I was going through a rough period in my life. Because of the stress I couldn't sleep, but thanks to my sister that had level 1 of traditional line and gave me Reiki, I managed to sleep profoundly and be able to handle the situation much better.
Some months later I faced another big challenge, and because of my anxiety I became much vulnerable. A dear friend who lives in Portugal, sent me Reiki (at distance) to help me in difficult time. It was like magic: in a moment, my anxiety disappeared. I was so thankful and fascinated by this amazing tool, Reiki, that, as soon as I had the opportunity, I took all the levels with good time in between... Reiki became a part of me and my life.
When I listened to José and his lecture about Reijukido in Bergen, I felt immediately that this was something that would bring me a step further in my experience and it was time for me to start to work actively with Reiki, not only for me but also for others!
I feel that Reijukido brings the total knowledge of Reiki to the surface and I was also very impressed with holistic integration of Reiki and the esoteric tradition, that for me gives me a higher understanding of live (us, the others, nature and cosmos).
Finally, after being initiated in Reijukido, the feeling and the effect of Reiki became much stronger! It was like changing from a shower to a waterfall :)
I'm very happy to become a student of José and admire him greatly for his humbleness and great responsibility as a person and as a teacher!
Thank you.

Reiki/Reijukido training
2. April, 2010
I have always been interested disciplines that come from the East. After several training courses, I had the chance to participate in a course given by José Figueroa about Unified Reiki/Reijukido, in Barcelona. They were two intense days, full of unknown emotions and sensations that allowed me to experiment by myself some of the benefits of Reiki/Reijukido: inner peace, absence of disturbing thoughts... they were coming from a very first moment. As the days passed, and with the daily practice of Reiki/Reijukido, I continue experimenting the ease of sleeping, being able to sleep deeply, and waking up with new energies.
On the other side, when I began giving Reiki/Reijukido to those who were willing to receive it, I could see some other effects. Expressions like "it's been a long time I didn't sleep so well", "I didn't want to sleep but I couldn't avoid it", "When I came I was so nervous and upset and now it's like if I had been given new energy!", "You give peace and wellbeing.", "My headache has dissappeared.", "My baby stops crying when you give him Reiki/Reijukido". Besides, I perceived physical sensations in my body and I could also observe them in that people: relaxed extremities, strained muscles of the face, slow breath, easy smile.
That's why I did a second level of Reiki/Reijukido, and nowadays, I have added to my work that discipline which allows each one giving Reiki/Reijukido being a universal energy transmitter. At the same time, he/she can balance peoples' minds and body, and recover the balance.
Thank you José for spreading and teaching this discipline.

Balance
For me, doing the training and initiation to Reiki/Reijukido, has changed my existence, making sense to why I am here, and what for. Since I was a child, things that we might call "strange" have happened to me, to which I have tried to make sense, through religion, through my work, the inner search, the bad extremes... and nothing ended up making sense. Thanks to Reiki/Reijukido, all has a new consciousness, all has found a channel, and for the first time, I flow without fear.
When I give Reiki/Reijukido to other people, that flow becomes Love, and I see how it transforms them and myself. Now I am channel, and just for today I'm not struggling for being myself.
Thanks to Reiki/Reijukido, I have found my balance, Namaste.

Experiences with Reijukido
Thank you for a good, powerful and informative weekend of Reijukido/Unifed Reiki workshop level 1.
I already had: Tradisjonell Reiki level 1.
I feel that Reijukido is both stronger and easier to use. I don't have to relate to so many different hand positions and I can use my intuition in a much better way!
I found the initiation to be much more powerful with a strong sense of humility.
All the information and background material about how Reijukido works, was well presented.
The information was much more thorough and complete than what I had received from the Traditional line.
I have had the opportunity to "play" (practice) using this method both on myself and others during the past week.
It has been a good experience so far and I have received good feedback.
I will get back to you about these experiences later.
Best regards,

Hyperactive
I initially found José through the Internet after someone recommended Bach Flowers for my very active 8 year-old youngest child. Although we initially corresponded through e-mail, it turned out he was very close to where we live. He sat with my son and prepared a flower remedy for him after having a long quiet chat. After seeing the gentle change they produced in him after a few weeks of taking them, I decided to give Bach flowers a try as well, as I was feeling fatigue and stress with the day to day of work and family. I have felt such improvement that now all four members of our family swear by the remedies. José has been a major influence for us, patiently understanding each of our individual and sometimes complicated needs. He has also opened a new door to me, introducing me to Reiki. I am now looking forward to exploring Reiki further.

The Bach Flower Therapy and Reiki
Friday 18 April 2008
I am a psychologist specialized in oncology and work daily with women affected by breast cancer.
My first experience with the Bach Flowers remedies was at a personal level.
During two years I generated such a stress that getting up in the mornings was a colossal effort, I didn’t have any strength for anything, chairs were beckoning me, in short I felt awful and nothing that was sold on the market for stress worked for me.
At some point, several years ago, I tried the flowers but I had some doubts about following the treatment.
Some years later, I was offered a new opportunity to begin with them through José Figueroa, and the truth is, I obtained things that with the traditional allopathic treatment I didn’t, the latter was only patching up the problem not getting to the cause.
Now, after the Bach Flower therapy and Reiki, I sleep well, I enjoy my children, I have time for everything and I have the strength to get up each morning.
My two years old son used to wake-up, terrified, several times during the night and there was no way he could rest. I started to put the Bach Flowers remedies in his bath and in his lotion. Since then, he sleeps peacefully, and his father and I, also.
After my personal experience I wanted to transmit that energy to the group of women with whom I work. Women who don’t sleep, who have been hit by the diagnosis of a disease that society labels as terrible, with low self esteem - occasionally rooted in the new image they have of their own body - and a long list of other issues.
The women affected by breast cancer, who have tried both therapies, are very pleased with them as without a doubt their quality of life has improved.
I hope that my experience will convince you to try and verify, by yourself, the power of the flowers and the way they can improve your quality of life.
A hug.

Recommendation
Thursday 17 April 2008
I am a psychologist/sexologist and I recommend José Figueroa whom I referred to several of my patients so he could help them as an Emotional Therapist and Naturopath, specialized in the Bach Flower remedies and as Reiki master and practitioner. Those patients as well as I, attest to his professionalism and the efficiency of the treatments received.

Panic attacks and anxiety
Saturday 12 April
Hello, my name’s Antonio and I would like to share the experience I had with José Figueroa and its Bach Flowers and Reiki therapies.
Last year a taxi driver from Los Cristianos, who witnessed one of my panic attacks episodes and extreme anxiety, gave me José’s card and swore to me that one of his colleague, who also suffered from this horrible situation for years, totally cured himself, with drops of flowers.
Furthermore, he told me that the wife one of his friends, who also suffered of depression and took tablets for many years cured herself thanks to the Flowers and a very interesting energy massage.
I, also, had been very depressed, for some years, but all that seemed a little strange and too easy to be true. Nevertheless the taxi driver was very convincing and, actually, while I was taking some “tranquimasin”* he called José Figueroa on his own phone and hand the device to me. The rest is history….
My life changed so dramatically that sometimes it makes me spin. The anxiety disappeared, the irrational panic attacks have not returned. I have understood many things about myself and my old fears, actually my self esteem has never been better and although my economic situation has always been wonderful as I am an industrialist, now I really LIVE my success I don’t merely survive as I did before.

Meaningful
April, 2010
My name is Heidi Gabrielsen. I have studied socialwork, but the last 5 years I have worked with massage, and I love to work with health and see how people benefit in different ways! I have learned that body, mind and soul are one. We get easily outbalanced, and there are different ways of helping ourselves and others.
When I met Reiki teacher José Figueroa for the first time, I thought I couldn't afford the classes, but I was lucky after all, and I am happy I finally did it! José is a teacher with a lot of joy, knowledge and a big heart, and I like his simple method of teaching.
Sometimes we may think that everything is meaningless. Unified Reiki helps us to experience good energy, and reminds us that we are not alone. I am thankful and try to be a clear channel for Unified Reiki.
I wish more and more people will join, and experience Unified Reiki.

Treatment against stress
Judit Aguiar Falcon
I wish to indicate that since August 2007, I have undertaken with Mr. José Figueroa several treatments related to my work.
I am an Investment Adviser to high income and high profile clients, dedicating a lot of hours to my professional activity. My work generates excessive stress due to the high results required.
Thanks to José Figueroa I have been able to maintain a suitable level of exigency and work rhythm without having to sacrifice neither all my time nor my health to achieve it.
We have as well worked on other aspects of my personality that have helped me to maintain a balance in my life and make me feel better with myself.

Soriastic Artritis
Conchi García Blas
Hello! First of all I would like to welcome you and congratulate you if you are interested in the subject of the Bach Flowers. I am telling you this because for me it was one of the best things that happened in my life.
Next, I would like to tell you a bit about my experience: I was diagnosed with Soriastic Artritis that, as time passed, generated problems of anxiety, stress and depression. As you can imagine this diagnostic made me go and visit many specialized doctors as well as trying many alternative therapies. I had heard about the flowers and although I thought it was interesting; at that time I didn’t pursue the issue and put it at the back of my mind. But, one day, after many years persisting in my psychological and physical states, the therapy with flowers came back to me. And that was when the miracle occurred, my friends. I was already looking into the flowers when I met, casually? this great therapeutist; and great person that is José. From the very first as the good professional that he is, he realized that I was a person he had to help to heal. He helped me to understand all his wisdom and understanding in a simple form and with dedication. I have to point out that if I have followed the treatment regularly and for the duration needed, it is because of the results obtained and the professional attitude that this person maintains with his patients, one of his most outstanding quality. To me personally he gave me security and inspired trust, it is clear to me that he does it as a vocation and that shows. So, I consider myself a new person. I encourage you from the bottom of my heart for the wellbeing of all.
A hug for all I encourage you to have your own experience.

Overcoming difficult situations
Mar Perales Muñoz
“I met Jose while walking the Santiago track; as we walked together we spoke about a lot of things, including the Bach Flowers. They had helped me a lot throughout my life to overcome inconvenient or difficult situations.
At that time the only thing that was wrong with me was that I couldn’t stop smoking, and Jose offered to help me with the flowers. Since then, I have had different problems that were lighter to bear thanks to Jose, his help and his flowers.
Six months ago my father was diagnosed with stomach cancer, and thanks to Jose’s treatment my father as well as I was able to go through this disease a lot better that what we expected. My father is much better now and I have been able to face his illness with courage and optimism.
I am as well getting over the break up with a very important person in my life, and the flowers are helping me through the emotional process.
I know that I can always count with Jose, a great professional and, above all, a great friend”.

Now, I am myself
Miriam
I would like to share my experience about Jose Figueroa’s flowers.
I am a working mother with 2 children. I am in charge of a shop and until a few months ago not even sleeping tablets could help me to sleep. I was very nervous, depressive and always tired furthermore the relations with my close family were not going well. Anything that happened used to affect me a lot, I used to cry every so often and horrible thoughts would go through my restless mind.
The incredible thing is that the very same week I started the treatment with the flowers, I slept well. Then as far as the rest was concerned all went better, a few things quicker other things little by little, so that in a few months time I went back to be my old self, now, I sleep well without any kind of help at all, not even the flowers one, I feel strong and well with myself again, I am not the victim of anything nor anyone anymore, I am myself.

Emotional Blackmail
Marta Ceballos
I will try to be brief. I met Jose Figueroa and knew about his Bach Flower therapy through a colleague of mine.
I gave myself the definitive push when I admitted to myself that my mother was using “emotional blackmail” against me, and that I would probably repeat this conduct with my own daughter… never that, I would not do that to my daughter (she is five)!!!!!! so I talked with José. if, on top of this frustating feeling to never been able to say no to your mother without feeling guilty, we add the typical stress that we all suffer from, nerves, sleeplessness, etc you can well image the state I was in… thus I began the treatment and in only one week the change was surprising, incredible. as I told José, I cannot explain on which level, internally, the flowers operate, but they do work!!!! I managed to sleep, clients were coming to complain about things done by others, and although I was still doing all I could to resolve their problems, they didn’t affect me, and they didn’t prevent me to sleep… I was able to recognize until which point my responsibility went wihtout feeling obliged to respond for all of them…I could say no to my mother without feeling bad about it, knowing that I have the right to refuse to do things that I cannot do, that cost me time or that I simply do not want to do. I admit that the greatest exit of the flowers was at this level: to recognize that I can say no, thus preventing people around me, consciously or inconsciously to take advantage of me.
And now I am again with José, but simply, so that he can help me “to step on the brake”, and not to take on all the world’s problems…. I have faith, and I know that the flowers can achieve it. I still find them fascinating and surprisingly effective… at some point I recommended a friend of mine to go to José. My friend, had been in treatment with the flowers for months without observing any changes, I, on the other hand, in only one week considered myself “in perfect state”, relaxed and happy… he changed therapist and went with José, and improved considerably. He overcame his depression and today he is happy and untroubled…
Well this is grossly my experience.

My Life Project
Virginia Sanz
Hello, my name is Virginia; one year ago I was in a situation close to chaos. I am a person far too dedicated to the people around me and not enough to myself; I was living through and for others, it is to say that I was offering my time, my energy, my soul, even my economical resources, to anyone for whom I felt a minimum of affection. Having cleared this precedent: I have lived during years, although nobody asked for it (and that is my great discovery) confused and blurred in a series of behaviours that I understand now, were unnecessary, uncalled for, extreme, that I assumed completely and that brought out, from others a reaction ...
I undertook natural therapies because I do not precisely believe in conventional psychiatry; one of the problems that I have is a mother addicted to pills, and of course the only thing she gets from psychiatrists is to inflate her with tablets. The problem will remain there; we have lost all hope as she does not want to cure herself. I say “we” as, indeed, the whole family is subjugated by her disease; an addiction entails a net of selfishness and you really feel alone, nothing can help you if the person does not want to heal.
I am telling all this because now I have really learned that I can take care of others but I cannot live constantly worried and losing my life project.
On the other hand, and I can not point out when, I assumed that I was not a good enough person, a good enough daughter, slim enough, beautiful enough, intelligent enough. I did indeed do things, I achieved things but I thought in the most profound part of my subconscious mind that I was not going to achieve them; it is to say that I was fighting against myself in a destructive way.
With all this background I went to José Figueroa looking forward to have someone who would really listen to me and help me to get out of a circle that I found difficult to get out of, because people usually find it hard to change. At the end I decided to listen to myself and get to work. I have been receiving Reiki and Bach Flowers and speaking with him for nearly a year. It is not a easy track; EVERTYTHING starts to get out. I am sure of something: it is worth to invest time to discover your own self and lay the foundations of a better future; for others of course, but first for me. I only have words of gratitude.

Bach Flowers
Ainhoa Díaz Contreras
Hello, I am Ainhoa Díaz Contreras, I am writing with the intention of sharing my experience about José Figueroa García’s Bach Flower therapy. As a professional, and on the basis of my experience, I can give my recommendation without any doubts. At the beginning of any kind of therapy, to have a good follow up is essential, as well as the level of knowledge and objectivity of a good professional. Not only that, but as well the closeness he can manages, his personal qualities, to be someone with values, as we are speaking about an intimate field, where the trust given is fundamental. All this requirements and more are met by José Figueroa. The verification of this fact is enough for me, and I suppose for anybody who will be receiving this writing.
Faithfully
A 26 years old woman; for whom, life is smiling at again….
Thanks, to all of you

The Bach Flower Therapy and Reiki II
Maximiliano Gómez
Hello, I am called maximiliano and I am writing to comment that I came to José Figueroa in a very serious state of depression. I was lacking enthousiasm, isolated myself completely from people and could not find any way out of this situation that was bringing me down and down. I started a treatment with the Bach Flowers and Reiki that little by little improved my state of mind….
Although the process seemed to be slow it gave a very good result…
After three months and little treatment I started to recuperate all what I was and felt…
Bye and good luck
