Reiki Attitude

It’s interesting to take note of the various attitudes that different Reiki practitioners assume and how those attitudes change from situation to situation. I’d like to take a closer look at this here.
Newcomers to Reiki are virtually always fascinated with the wonder of Reiki and this wide-eyed fascination is always such a great pleasure to [...]

Reiki for Improved Memory & Concentration

Reiki is generally not associated with memory improvement or concentration enhancing, but I find it to be quite effective if used correctly and, well… waste not want not!
This advanced Reiki exercise is another Hana Reiki original taught in Level 2 and combines aspects of several disciplines to achieve a most interesting outcome… I call [...]

Reiki Secrets

Recently I’ve received a few email inquiries about a recent comment on this site concerning Reiki Secrets and thought I’d make my response available to everyone just in case any of you had any questions about it. So with the sincere hope that I don’t ruffle too many feathers… here goes…
The comment in question concerned [...]

2nd Reiki Principle Revisited

I‘ve been mulling over some of the various interpretations of the Reiki Principles, and the 2nd Principle begged some attention. When taken with its intro it reads… Just for today, don’t worry… and I found this mulling quite an enjoyable Reiki exercise in and of itself.

Reiki Festivals

In the light of yesterday’s earthquake in Tohoku Japan I’d like to take a look at the front line, so to speak, of Reiki healers… those Reiki practitioners who are working in emergency zones, hospitals, hospices, treatment centers, and other places where there is the continuous need for a LOT of Reiki, in serious situations, [...]

Byosen is refers to an energy disturbance caused by [...]

Gendai Reiki Koryukai

This weekend I had the pleasure of joining approximately 50 other Reiki enthusiasts at another monthly Gendai Reiki Koryukai hosted by Hiroshi Doi. Koryukai, aka Reiki workshops, Reiki Shares, Reiki Gatherings, all seem to have their own personality and way of doing things and I find Doi Sensei’s to be among the most unique of [...]

Reiki Kriya

Last night while I was giving a quick Reiki treatment, the recipient suddenly had an acute spasm that almost sent her flying off the table. She said that it felt like something inside of here knee popped (even though I was treating her head at the time). Welcome to the wonderful world of Reiki Kriya!!
