Mona Auer Abdel-Kader
Reiki Master
Personal background:
Being of Egyptian and Austrian decent (growing up with Egyptian and Austrian parents); I have been shaped by an open minded, tolerant and artistic environment with influences of architecture, painting and creativity from a fairly early age. My family was influenced by the idea of livinig in the way of “art noveau”. I feel strongly connected to “Jugendstil” (art nouveau) and its credo, “When people are surrounded by beautifully designed art, style, and living elements, and positive thoughts, they feel better.”
Reiki
From early age I was interested in old spiritual knowledge, with a special interest in ancient Egyptian philosophie *). In my teens I collected Confucius’ lyrics, later I loved the books of Richard Bach (the Seagull, Illusions, et al) and Dale Carnegie. Recently I think the "Hermetic Laws"*) and the ancient wisdom of the “Tabula Samaragdina”*) are interesting to read.
In my early thirties I was introduced to Reiki which accompanies me until today.
My first grade initiation was 1998, the second grade 2003. I worked for several years with Reiki. While this time I additionally learned about and tested other techniques,
I gained more knowledge and found that most of the "newer" techniques based on the old philosophy. Finally about 6 years ago I felt myself ready to be Reiki Master and teacher. I had the great opportunity to get the initiations at Crete in a very special way and from a very special teacher and friend: on the border of day and night, at a spiritual place in the mountains and in the sea.
Painting
As an artist I intend to express moods, emotions and energy in my paintings. My works of art includes abstract and realistic paintings made with acrylic color as well as collages and drawings with graphite pencils and pastel chalks.
Furthermore, my artwork includes the design of clothing, textiles and furniture; and last but not least, making of jewels using semi-precious stones.
(*)The Egyptian Philosophy outlived the downfall of the ancient Egyptian empire. Their philosophy was taken over by Jewish Kabala, later by the Greek school of “Hermetiker” (Hermes Trismegistos = mergence of Greek God Hermes and the Egyptian God Thoth / founder of the "Hermetic law").)
