About Canela Michelle

Canela Michelle Meyers was born in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) and now resides in North Vancouver, B.C. with her two sons, and her partner, Steve Clippingdale. She has been practicing and teaching ReiKi in Canada, Australia, Indonesia and the U.S. since 1994. She is also a teacher of Kundalini Yoga.

Having woken up to Self in Feb. 1998, her main support in all settings is one of Self acceptance - of finding the love that exists in everything; supporting people to finding this in themselves, and in their relatings to others and their world. She has offered Satsang gatherings in Tucson, San Francisco, Seattle, Bellingham, and Vancouver, North Vancouver, White Rock, Richmond, Sechelt, Salt Spring Island, Bowen Island and Victoria, in British Columbia. (See Schedules page for current offerings).

Canela's journey to Self included a direct experience of White Light within her first experience of ReiKi in 1994. (Although there are many many steps in this journey, some steps are somehow bigger ones). This first experience of ReiKi was with her cousin, ReiKi practitioner, Donalda Meyers. Everything disappeared, no table, no cousin, no Canela Michelle, no world at all, only White Light and something that was aware of it. This experience supported a letting go of struggling - as here was a factual experience of something bigger than the mere human and how things appeared to be. Canela took the ReiKi training in an attempt to find out what happened, which instead, led her into practicing and teaching ReiKi. In this practicing, she found the ReiKi supported awareness to be focusing on what was actually happening - the client providing the perfect 'excuse' to focus on "Now".

After some time, she realized, in her honesty with herself, that she was somehow 'using' the idea of her husband and children as an excuse to not be with something that was calling her strongly inside. She reached the point of choicelessness and let go of her world as she knew it. She travelled, attending gatherings with Paul and Ava Lowe (www.ineachmoment.com) and the people who they attracted around them for about six months... committing herself consciously and completely to Consciousness. While in Australia, (after tending to the responsibilities of her children), she met Isaac Shapiro (www.isaacshapiro.de). She then found herself attending a week-long retreat with Isaac, which started the day after meeting him. On the first night of that retreat, in direct connection with Isaac, perception shifted to know itSelf directly in each moment. She Realized That which had always been. More accurately; Awareness became aware of Itself completely and permanently. She is immensely grateful to Isaac Shapiro, for pointing to That, and to Paul and Ava Lowe for their support in preparing the ground.

In Satsang sessions & gatherings, in ReiKi sessions & classes, and in each and every moment, Canela is an invitation that supports anyone to relax more deeply and lovingly into who they already are.
