In this post I would like to look at the creation of a Reiki Resume (pardon the French ), which is basically a one-page summary of your involvement with Reiki either for your own personal use, or for sharing with others.
There are basically four main parts I would recommend including in [...]
The number one question I get when people find out I live in Japan is always for information about what Reiki is like here in Japan… I’ve touched on this before in a discussion on the differences between Eastern and Western Reiki, but allow me to address it in greater detail here.
Surprisingly, Reiki is not [...]
I may be stretching a bit here in search of a connection, but I do believe the question has to be asked… what is the relationship between Reiki and Green Tea? And before you ask, the answer is NO!!!… I’m not trying to write one of those sensationalized National Enquirer type stories like “Boy Eats [...]
First and foremost, Reiki was designed as a path to spiritual enlightenment, however, it seems to have changed over the years to being just another healing modality (although a very potent one). I believe this to be because the healing aspect of Reiki is extremely easy to master while the spiritual aspects are quite difficult… [...]
This is an area quite near and dear to my heart in that my day job is that of a language teacher. So I could probably write a book about Reiki & Education (or Reiki in the Classroom… and someday I just may) but for now I promise to keep it short.

The main idea [...]
Aura viewing is an integral part of my own approach to Reiki teaching as it is very easy to teach and much easier to perceive than the more subtle Reiki energies. Wikipedia defines an aura as a “subtle field of luminous multicolored radiation surrounding a person or object as a cocoon or halo. An aura [...]
As opposed to the ability to see Auras (discussed here), the ability to see chakras is much more difficult, but you don’t have to be able to see them to take advantage of their existence. One excellent description of chakras found at Wikipedia defines them as such:
A chakra is a center of activity that receives, [...]
In the wonderful little book called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, by Edwin A. Abbott, (available here in its entirety) the idea that 2 dimensional people called Flatlanders are not able to understand 3 dimensional reality is presented. Imagine a 2 dimensional place, where the people are also 2 dimensional…. like in this image [...]
The sciences of Acupuncture and Acupressure are so closely related that I am discussing them as one (although I realize there are some notable differences). For simplicity’s sake, in this treatise I am just referring to Acupressure as Acupuncture without the needles (see, I told you it was simple).
The main principle behind Acupuncture [...]
