"At first I was a little sceptical about this course, as I know someone who had paid a great deal more elsewhere for Reiki 1 & 2 but I really enjoyed the attunements. As you advised I started to meditate to prepare myself for the attunement. I held some amethyst whilst doing this. When I was ready I called in the attunement. At first all I noticed was a pulsating energy through my body & a tingling in my hands but this is not unusual as this what I usually feel when channelling Reiki. After a while I thought I started to experience vivid swirling colours predominantly turquoise, purples & bright white light. These colours began to form a sort of tunnel of colours coming towards me with a bright light at the end. This went on for some time although it felt like seconds. I didn't want to leave this state as it felt so good.  Afterwards I did some self healing & then fell asleep. My dreams that night were very like the attunement with swirling colours in them. Since having the New Usui Reiki attunements my healing has become much stronger. I would now like to carry on & do Kundalini, Gold & Inner Light Reiki to further enhance my healing abilities."  SG, UK

"I have just recently purchased some of these amazing courses and I am thrilled. They are very clear and concise and Maya is really helpful and loving. I felt supported and made to feel very welcome. I would highly put Mayastar high on your list if you're looking for good course content with the added support. You will be spoilt for choice and will want to do everything and if you do then there is an option to do everything and spread the cost too. I am now in a position to give healing to others and it's all thanks to Mayastar." MF, UK

“I have studied with other Shamans in the past but this was quite the different aspect of Shamanism, which in fact I enjoy very much. It also helped refresh and point out many connections to the paths of life and the Universe force. I also enjoyed and understood the way you explain connecting with different energies for matters and how to corporate them into tools for healing. This was a wonderful refreshment course for me. I must say that the attunements for Shamballa 1&2 were very electrifying and I was actually able to sense the energy. I know have a new guide or he could have been with me but I never was able to sense him before" SM, US (2009)

"I can't speak highly enough of Maya and Mayastar. Maya is always there to help and guide, and her beautiful energy is inspiring. Maya and Mayastar have been a big part of my spiritual growth." SC, Australia

"I would like to give a personal testimonial with regard to Mayastar. I have taken quite a few courses through Mayastar Academy and have known Maya for some little time now and have always found Maya to be a genuinely caring person who will help any student with any problem they have, treats every one as an individual and genuinely cares about the dreams and aspirations of her students. She is an all round wonderful individual who takes the time to help anyone she can with anything they need and puts a lot a time and effort in helping people outside her students i.e working with the healing list she updates every month and circulates to her Yahoo Group. May she long continue to carry on this very important work, I feel honoured to have met such a wonderful kind and gifted soul!"  Bishop Ann Cox

"Mayastar is such a brilliant website! I have done lots of different courses with Mayastar and Maya is wonderful and a great lightworker!" CT, UK

"What a wonderful spirit, full of love, light, passion and generosity. If only the universe was filled with more earth angels like Maya. As we attempt to use everything and everyone we meet as a teacher, Maya is more than happy to help you learn in whichever way you need. Always friendly, always open and always honest. What more could we ask of anyone?...What more should we make of ourselves? Thank you for everything you have done and everything you continue to do." JR, UK

"I've just become a student of Mayastar and am very excited at learning more about Shamanic beliefs and practices. I've only exchanged a few emails with Anna but she's been very warm, friendly and helpful. A great way to learn." CR, UK

"I first came across the Academy through the auspices of eBay and began trying out the courses offered by the Academy with more than a little interest and with a little trepidation at first but I had no need to worry. The quality of the courses, the range and course material which the Academy offers has increased more and more over the course of the last few months and the range of courses offered is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Academy to any of my friends and colleagues." AC, UK

"Well where does one start? With a huge list of possible courses, the option of making your own course package and then the chance of a discount under the right circumstances...what more could any budding student wish for? It is a true delight to learn with Mayastar with their wide range of learning, their rapid, personal responses from Maya, the accreditations, the knowledge that the learning you receive will be directed on a personal level with the beautiful way it has been written. A truly fantastic learning establishment and a welcome return every time you visit." James, UK

"Although I have been attuned before and used Reiki, I definitely felt more from the distance attunement The strength of the Reiki energy feels much greater." - Cheryl, UK

"I recently purchased the reiki course up to master level. I had previously been attuned to level one reiki by a different master, and approached the new course with an open mind but a level of skepticism. I had never heard of distance attunements before, and wondered whether I would actually feel anything. This skepticism was soon banished. The first attunement by Maya felt as tangible and real as my initial attunement, and the effects were undeniable. The second attunement was even more powerful, and I have been enjoying the effects and benefits ever since. While I await my level three attunement the support offered by Maya remains superb, and I feel she cares for me as an individual not just a customer. The information provided from the course package is fantastic and I have no complaints about any aspect of the service." MB, UK

"I was very comfortable with the course, and I have enjoyed working through the manuals. The attunements went really well, I feel that the last one I had was very calming and I felt very peaceful (I still do now), the waves of colours, shapes and warm glowing and tingling sensations. The information you gave was excellent and I will be looking forward to doing more work with you in the near future." NG, UK

"Overall I have enjoyed the entire Reiki course from the beginning to the end. The support and feedback is in my opinion first class.  Once again thank you for your guidance and I look forward to doing more courses with you." Nigel, UK

"I took the Violet Flame course with Mayastar some while ago, and the wonderful effects of this course and attunement remain with me. The course material is very simple but thorough, and the attunement one of the most powerful I have ever received. The effect of taking this course is that it has increased my energy levels, helped with healings when other things have not been as useful, and it has helped me progress on my spiritual path at a rate I can't explain! Thanks again for making this course available to us, and I recommend Mayastar wholeheartedly. Maya teaches with compassion and unconditional love at all times." Cheryl, UK

"I have received Reiki l and ll attunements from another source, but the Violet Flame attunement was particularly powerful for me. Just before the arranged time, I was prepared and relaxed, very soon I was surrounded by a violet light which permeated my entire being. It was as though I was being caressed by a favourite blanket, a feeling of security and love. This feeling stayed with me until long after the light began to fade. I often call on St Germain and the Violet flame to enhance my reiki treatments, but i find that it is also a wonderful treatment on its own." EE, UK

“Thank you so much for the wonderful Violet Flame attunement. Gosh! Where do I start! I then prepared to receive the attunement from you.  I also held amethyst spheres in each hand. I started to feel cold sensations all over my body.  Suddenly I felt warmth about my shoulders and saw a cloak of purple velvet being placed around me.  The warmth permeated my whole being. This was such a wonderful experience and I feel so at peace. Thank you again.” - JB (UK)

"I just wanted to give you some feedback on the AAP Empowerments.  I have taken all 8 so far.  Following my receiving the empowerment prior to reading the manual, I ended up doing that with the last three as well.  The exact area in which the manual dealt with was the area that I felt the empowerment.  I just want to thank you for such a great program.  I hope that others will avail themselves of this program as well because it is tremendously powerful."
