Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is the brainchild of Gary Craig and I highly recommend it to Reiki enthusiasts everywhere as being another one of the many healing modalities that fits Reiki like a glove. Described as an emotional version of acupuncture, EFT is based on the premise that “The cause of all negative emotions is [...]
If you asked me about the differences between traditional Japanese Reiki (what I’m calling Eastern Reiki) and that studied in other countries (what I’m calling Western Reiki) when I first started to study Reiki here in Japan (about 10 years ago) I would have said the differences were night and day. However over the last [...]
In a nutshell (although a highly contentious one) it is my belief that Reiki is in no way, shape or form a religion. It is either a spiritual path or a healing practice (depending on how traditional you want to be) but there is absolutely nothing religious about it and because of this quality it [...]
I have been asked many times about the relationship between Reiki and Kids and as in many of the cases previously discussed I believe this to be another match made in heaven. One of the obstacles to performing Reiki that many practitioners encounter is that they think too much. Kids do not have this same [...]
Along with Aromatherapy the use of Reiki with Crystals is a bit more advanced in nature, but not so much so that any Reiki practitioner can’t do it quite easily. Crystals have the ability to hold Reiki energy for vast amounts of time and remain extremely effective with very little care. All you have [...]

First I’d like to clarify exactly what we are [...]
Reiki & Aromatherapy are (in more ways than one) a match made in heaven. And off of the top of my head I can easily think of several applications where one can enhance the other so well, that it would be a shame to perform one without performing the other… because in its most [...]
Reiki and Yoga (in their purest forms) are closer than most people could possibly image. They are both, first and foremost, paths to enlightenment and there is even a branch of Yoga (called Prana Vidya) which deals directly with energy healing. While the use of energy in Yoga more closely resembles that of Qi Gong [...]
Reiki sessions vary from person to person but if its true Reiki (i.e., nothing foreign introduced to the session) I have never heard of it being anything other than a completely relaxing experience. In fact, its so relaxing that 90% of the time that I give a Reiki treatment the recipient falls asleep within the [...]
The only way for a student to truly learn Reiki is to be directly initiated into it by a Reiki Master. This initiation is referred to as a Reiki Attunement. There are many different opinions as to how attunements should or can be passed, some schools offer long-distance attunements (in several different forms), some [...]
