With the classes over, and all the things that went into getting them done, I have been looking over some of the comments, and some are quite interesting.

Many of the comments were positive, and good to hear. Some were true, yet it seems without the knowledge of what got accomplished to make classes available to them.

Well, here are some of them (with and without comments).

It was a great class - I'm glad I had to do CEUs and came to your class.

Wonderful class, wonderful experience! Thank you Brian!

Brian, thank you for a wonderful class. It is refreshing to find someone who is truly focused on "the work" with the intent of teaching and healing. It was a pleasure.

It was presented well. I just did not agree with all the subject matter. Hmm, never expected anyone to take everything as gospel. Just wanted to present it how I feel, and then others find their own path.

Thank you for sharing a new healing method and taking the time to pass it on.

One wanted “Better air.” And I know the air system could not keep up with the heat. I had turned it down so it was cold initially. I had put fragrances in to make the place smell better. But it was not the greatest. But it was what was available.

I like the smaller setting, maybe offer smaller classes.

A smaller class size, 6 - 8. A couple that were part of the huge classes, thought it would be better with less people. Yes, I could have limited the class size to 6, the maximum that I can teach in the shop. But how would they have felt if they were in the group that I would have had to turn away?

Thank you very much for providing me with this class and knowledge. Very energetic!

Glad I attended the class; Got a lot more out of the class than I expected to receive.

Everyone should get a copy of the translucent Reiki 2 symbol. Especially for those of us that do not visualize as well. Well, it took me five years and the luck to be able to print a copy of the symbol on a piece of plastic so I could use it to better describe the process in class. It probably isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

I enjoyed watching the temperature rise in the room with all the amazing energy. And rise it did.

Needs to be “More focused.” Yes, I do tend to get off topic sometimes.

Sometimes you went off the subject, but you made it better by putting a comedic touch on the subject.

Materials and presentation are amazing! It's difficult to improve on perfection. Perfection? No. But I do try hard, and I am constantly tweaking the information.

Something we do that no other class does is supply lunch. It helps keep the break time down to a minimum and allows me to count lunch time as training since we talk about this stuff anyway. Most really like it. One complained that she needed time to clear her head and walk away from it. If I did a full lunch break, the class would run an hour longer. But it is something we do, and most people appreciate it.

Like I said, most of the comments are positive. I do look at all of them, even the negative ones. Sometimes, my only response can be to say that I teach the way I feel it should be done, and sometimes I just can’t do it any other way. The shop is only so big, and it costs too much to hold it elsewhere on a regular basis. In most cases, it costs more than what one student pays, so to change location to add another student is simply not possible.

But all in all, I am pleased that most people liked it, and felt it was something of value. This is why I teach. No other reason.
