Jay V. Jackson is a Senior Licensed Reiki Master Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training and the founder of Illumine Reiki Academy. He has a great passion for the healing arts of Reiki. He loves sharing these beautiful energies with everyone he meets, especially his clients and students. As a licensed Teacher of the International Center for Reiki Training, Jay has demonstrated his commitment to his Reiki journey and fostering the Reiki paths of others as well.
Jay grew up in the remote Blue Mountains of East Central Oregon. As a child he loved to play with stones and would study them. Later, his parents started a gem faceting business, cutting precious gemstones. By his late teens, Jay became a Master Faceter. He found that if he would study a gemstone carefully and “listen” to the stone he would come up with a design that ended up becoming an incredible work of art.
In the late 1990s Jay started to study Reiki. In 2004 Jay became a Reiki Master/Teacher. The call of healing modalities kept calling him and in August of 2004 Jay completed the massage program at the Utah College of Massage Therapy. Jay is both a Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Master / Teacher and Holy Fire Karuna Reiki Master / Teacher.
Jay continues to study Reiki, Crystal Healing, Sound Healing, and Sacred Geometry. He loves facilitating classes on these subjects whenever he can.
Jay “retired” as an Intensive Care & Hospice Nurse and currently lives in the beautiful Andes Mountains of Ecuador where he teaches Reiki Classes remotely.
Jay loves to be a facilitator of healing and enjoys seeing enlightenment spark through others as he also gains forever new insights.
Reiki became a steady source of light and support during one of the most difficult seasons of my life..
Reiki gently led me down unfamiliar paths and kept whispering that it was going to be okay. The journey has not always been easy, but I am discovering who I am and who I am meant to be. My life is filled with the wisdom of gentleness as Reiki teaches and guides me.
The many times in my life where I did not feel that I belonged, have now shifted into an awareness that I wasn't supposed to feel that I belonged, and that this was okay. I have learned that there are many who feel alienated from the world they find themselves in.
Reiki can assist us in understanding our roles in a life that just doesn't always makes sense. Many of us are here to anchor new energies for the evolution of this dimension. Others of us are bringing awareness of frequencies and healing vibrations that are available yet undetected by the masses.
Your purpose here matters. Shine your light into the healing realms and truly make a difference.
