ABOUT THE MASTER CLASS/BAHAMAS RETREAT:
I feel Patricia instilled (the values of a Reiki Master) in the class from day one of Reiki I. And by her example, I have instilled these values in my practice of Reiki and Nursing. The Retreat in the Abaco Bahamas allowed me to connect with myself and the energy of Reiki more fully. I felt it was beneficial not to have all of the distraction of my daily life while integrating this energy into myself. There was a definite clear communication with the energies of  the elements around me here -the water, the air, the fish, and the earth. This whole experience has and will continue to affect my life in a positive way.
I am ready to go forth and be the example and practicing Reiki teacher I want to be. I have had an affirming life altering experience here in the Abaco Islands with Patricia and Reiki. I am ready to face what comes in a positive and loving action. I hope to continue to hold up the standards as Patricia has set in my Reiki training and my life. I can't thank her enough for sticking by me and bringing me through this training and gives all her students such great opportunities for practice, camaraderie between practitioners, and a place to integrate fully with the Great energy Reiki.

What a great experience (ART class).  Thank you Patricia for sharing your love and Reiki.  Your gift and your presence in my life continues to inspire me to act on those feeling to do something for someone else, and stop holding back.  I am sooo very blessed .  Thank you again my teacher, my friend.

Hi Patricia, I had a amazing time in our (ART) class.  Never knew how rewarding that was. I really loved it.  And you...You have inplanted in me a Lasting impression.  In my 76 years on this earth, very few people have left me with lasting impression. But you have.  I will carry it forever.  Thank you again  R.C. 4/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The heart-felt connections made in class as well as the lifelong gift of Reiki were the most positive experiences in this class. Patricia is the most caring, compassionate, loving, engaging, respectful, graceful, and helpful teacher ever. An honor to be in her class. (ART CLASS) P.E.

I have had attunements by (2) different Reiki Masters in my prior Reiki studies - but - I did not  have the same level of experience that I had while taking the class at Inspired Heart with Reiki Master Patricia Williams.  Patricia brought such a sense of Reverence and Beauty to the whole experience, yet she is gentle at the same time - words alone do not give the experience justice!  Patricia is such a Natural - Reiki's loving energy radiates through her entire body and as a student, I had the feeling that she was honored  to be able to share the gift of Reiki with us, her students. This sacredness was so special - it brought a whole new level of passion and understanding/appreciation for me - yet at the same time - Patricia was also able to make us feel comfortable in our 'own shoes'.  An Awesome class - thank-you!!  (ART class) K.L. 1/10

Learning that Reiki is about self-healing. There are so many wounded healers. Reiki provides the opportunity for one to heal themselves first. The Reiki attunement lights the Light within so that healing may begin. Thank you for a wonderful day, meeting new people on the path to the summit. H.C.

Patricia is amazing and I'm privileged to call her Teacher. Grateful to be her student. J.S.

I am learning to love myself! A.R.

Since Reiki II and our amazing group, I entrain the symbols and words into and out of my being throughout the day. Thank you, dear Patricia for your beautiful presence, extraordinary teaching, and holding the space of Love and Light here in Vero Beach. Always know my gratitude to you for bringing Reiki into my life. J.S. 3/10

Patricia,
Thank you for the Reiki II class on Sunday. It was a phenomenal  experience. I am so grateful for meeting you and being able to participate in your Reiki classes this summer (2009). I strongly believe I was led to your shop by divine intervention to help me grow spiritually.   My family and friends noticed an immediate difference in me after taking your Reiki class. Reiki has empowered me to reconnect with my real self again. I now feel stronger, calmer, more confident, and filled with a renewed sense of purpose in life. The attunements I received in your classes were amazing! After the first attunement, the left side of my brain was tingling and pulsating for days! The second attunement was even more incredible as it led me on a celestial journey where I had a vision of the Virgin Mary’s Accession into Heaven! Now, I am convinced the Virgin Mary is one of my guides as I had been praying for my guide(s) to reveal them self to me. I'm continually humbled by God’s grace in allowing us such beautiful spiritual experiences by using people like Usui and you!  I still feel like I’m walking on cloud nine! THANK YOU AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!  J. B.

Hi Patricia,
Just wanted to thank you again for guiding me towards purchasing the Practitioner's Heart Chakra singing bowl the other day rather than the more traditional style (bowl).  It's FABULOUS!  I'm having such a great time with it.  The other day, I went around clearing my home, and was put so fully into my Heart Space while doing so.:).....Truly wonderful.....and easy to use.
Take care, and hope you're having a great weekend.
In joy,
G. M.

I just wanted to thank Patricia for her help yesterday!  I explained to her why I was there and what type of gift I was seeking and why.  She assisted me in making what I believe was an almost perfect choice and decision!
Thank you so very much!  I will be back in touch on a (Reiki) class later this month if possible!Terry

Dear Patricia,
I would like to express my gratitude and thank you for the inspiration you have been for me. Your positive and healing energy is amazing. It is hard to believe that less than six months ago, I had no idea what Reiki was or what was in store for me...the spiritual journey that has brought me to The Inspired Heart has been a true blessing.
You and the wonderful women at Inspired Heart are truly a gift to anyone who seeks to learn about the immense possibilities life has to offer. Kitty has been a joy and with pure intention helped me to find some of my most treasured items.
Thank you for a wonderful Reiki treatment yesterday. I felt amazing afterward and feel relieved to know I am on the path to releasing negative energy and toxins so that my body can once again be healthy and balanced (physically and spiritually).
In love, light, and peace,
T. D.

I am so blessed to have found the Reiki Circle and (Reiki) classes taught by Patricia
at The Inspired Heart in Vero Beach.  My journey towards the discovery of Reiki has been
a long one but well worth it!  I am progressing on a deeper spiritual path with this beautiful
gift which is now showing me my true purpose in life.  A whole new world has opened up
for me in connection with this powerful energy.
Reiki Levels 1 and 2 have taught me so much about self-healing and self-love and is
helping me to create deeper balance and harmony within my mind and spirit. I am also
experiencing great enthusiasm, strength, and ability to share Reiki with others. I believe
I have discovered a true gift. I continue to learn so much each week while I attend the
Reiki Circles and it has become such an exciting, rewarding, and beautiful experience.
I intend to further my education and look forward to working more with this wonderful
healing technique.

About Patricia during a Reiki treatment:
Patricia is impeccably aligned with intention and prayerfully reverent with this modality as a spiritual tool. I felt soothed, safe, and honored during my session. Patricia is a very balanced channel who puts self-interest aside and allows the individual to adjust their own attunement.

Summer 2008
What a perfect name for the unique vibration of this lovely shop, as the heart is the place from where all thoughts and prayers of love should initiate; and by this programming of intent,  The Inspired Heart gently and lovingly infuses the vibrational field to accommodate whatever is beneficial to the spirit, mind, or body.
Sometimes the energy of The Inspired Heart is experienced through a crystal that assists to hold the vibration of protection necessary for comfort while on our path or to open to dimensions within ourselves or Universe in a manner that feels familiar and safe; or through a book that brings confirmation of what is known within, inspiring us  to further investigate our own unique path.  Other times the transformational energy of The Inspired Heart is experienced through a person or persons joined in interaction  that brings communion with spirit where sacred energy is shared, information is received and transmitted through love, and awakenings deep within us occur.  I've experienced all of these energies through The Inspired Heart, the beauty of which cannot be accurately translated in words, but the essence is captured in these wonderful experiences.
Metaphysical bookstores are not uncommon, and many of them have been entered by my spirit, who is always seeking the highest vibrations -- for in those vibrations our own spirit can connect, find inspiration, erase unneeded thoughts, burn off karma, gain footholds within our consciousness -- all with the intent of unlocking the mysteries of the soul, healing what has been at cross-purposes within the individual personality and the soul, while raising the consciousness.  Conscious intent is a pure vibration that can transcend all barriers -- physical and non-physical.  The vibration necessary to reach the higher realms is love; and the purity and beauty and inspiration of these higher vibrations is felt through the vortex that exists in The Inspired Heart.  And unlike many places, The Inspired Heart has a strong, clear, and beautifully grounded center, Patricia.  It is not her energy that one should seek, but it is her energy that builds the bridge, through her intent that creates a beautiful world for each of us to explore the mysteries of ourselves and Universe, while sharing and assisting others who are intersecting our own travels.
All in all this beautifully inspired location helps us to recognize our connectedness, erasing thoughts and feelings of separation that keep us from our own union with ourselves, others, and thus, Universe.  It is refreshing and highly inspirational to find places and people of clean, pure and loving energies in which to experience the continuing transformation that is uniquely our own.  The Inspired Heart is such a place, as there is definitely a very high and pure vibration which resides there.  Thus, the energies located within The Inspired Heart are those from which profound experiences and understanding can occur.
So, for me, The Inspired Heart is a perfect place that I enjoy entering, as it is a doorway to myself, others, and Universe.  The Inspired Heart called to me as I'm sure it calls to many -- maybe not in the same way, as we are each unique; but I'm sure if it calls to you, your spirit will answer in a way that is appropriate for you.
Love and light,
Carol R.

Reiki with Patricia
I am HUGE floating out in the universe
in the night sky with infinite star dots
Then I am as small as the spec of dust
That is the furthest star.
I am immersed in the brightest of Light
I have no physical body - and you are there
Too, Patricia, without a physical body
Immersed in the same astounding Light.
My molecules interchange with yours, with
The table I am on, with the air itself.
I am truly one with all that is - I am all that is.
I am the Universe and the particle of dust,
And so are you. I am air, ether, fire, water,
Wood and light. I am solid, liquid, and vapor,
And every form of energy that is,
And so are You.
P. M.

It has been our wondrous fortune to have done workshops at The Inspired Heart in Vero Beach, Florida.  Our time there has enlightened us, honored us and thrilled us beyond words, right into the deepest part of our beings.  Patricia and Dominic (owners/caretakers/open hearts) have co-created a space for sacredness where all our welcomed.  What could be more amazing and glorious than that? 
This is SO needed at this time upon the Earth Mother.  Even if you think you are too busy to go there, go.  It will reward you in every way.  Immerse yourself in the spirit of love and see what miracles it brings you.  It has gifted us endlessly and we want to share that with all-- so much so, that we will travel there, annually, from New Mexico, to do our workshops and listenings there, with all our blessings and joy.  It's a long way to travel, but we go only where our spirits send us and from the start, they urged us to go to The Inspired Heart, even before we ever heard of the place....the first time we did workshops there, we booked them three weeks before our arrival and WITHOUT ever having met Patricia.  Nothing but incredible miracles, synchronicities, and family met us there.  We are forever grateful. May we meet you there one day soon~ 
Thanks Patricia, Dominic, and "the Inspired Heart,"

Patricia,
When I was very young, I learned of Reiki through my endless search of the mystical, magickal, and spiritual. At first it seemed mysterious, but somehow I knew it would one day be important for me to learn. I was presented with the opportunity to learn just over a year ago, and I promptly accepted the Universe's gift.
When that time finally arrived, I felt empowered and honoured to be graced by the Spirit of Reiki, to share in the endless and sacred grid of healers that are initiated into Reiki's sacredness. It was not long before I went on to my second degree, and soon I shall complete the advanced training to become a Reiki master.
My initial motivations for learning Reiki were to supplement my crystal healing practise and to accelerate my spiritual growth. While these factors were indeed important and relevant, Reiki has become so much more to me. Each morning I am grateful just to share the Light of Reiki freely and lovingly. This modality has transformed my way of life, empowering me to take control of myself and giving me the courage to let go of those things that no longer serve me. I used to struggle an anxiety disorder, and the attacks of panic and anxiety were difficult at best. Some days might have gone by in which I would have fifty or more, even while on medication. Over time, I was able to significantly improve my condition through meditation, homeopathic remedies, and the use of the mineral kingdom. However, since my Reiki attunement in May of 2006, I have had less than five panic attacks. Sending Reiki to any stressful situation, past, present, or future, has enabled me to have a handle on my life and to eliminate worry or regret. No longer do I create as many roadblocks to my future by struggling against the avoidable or unnecessary.
Reiki seems to make the entire world sparkle a little more. Even my healing times seem to have been accelerated during times of dis-ease or injury. Every day I learn how to apply this beautiful tool to new situations, such as abundance, intuition, healing the Earth, or manifestation. It has supplemented my search for the greatest mystery of all: we are all one. Each of us is made of the same "stuff." That is to say that we are all a part of the Divine Love.
May Reiki bless you as it has me.

Dear Patricia,  
Wanted you to know what happened after I purchased my Ascension crystal. ( The same day I also purchased a Magician Stone for my husband. I never expected him to wear it.)
I had been going through a very hard time spiritually and had just about decided all my soul searching was not worth it. The day I came into your store I was at a very low point.
I had just talked to a Unity Minister. While there she had the lightSource screen saver on her computer. Before the session ended I asked her where I might purchase it. She had bought it at The Inspired Heart. Well, I had not been by for almost a year and didn't intend to stop.  Spirit had other plans. As soon as I got to 14th Ave., my car made a left. I truly believe I was led by spirit to your shop. As usual I received a warm greeting. We started talking and before I knew it I had bought the two stones. The one I was sure my husband would not wear.
In the time since, our lives have taken a turn. My husband did put it on and he started getting help for his health problems. My spirits were lifted almost immediately. I am now re-interested in my painting. I lost four lbs. the first week.  I continue to move out of the dark night of my soul.
