I‘m serious! Kind of…
At times it staggers me the negativity that some people shower on their spiritually minded brethren. Here in Japan especially, just the word Reiki conjures up images of the walking dead, seances and other supernatural hocus-pocus. <technical term> I mean, what ever happened to live and let live.

Recently I’ve been receiving a lot of questions from extreme beginners. A lot of them relating to the best way to actually get started with Reiki. Where to begin… so to speak. So I thought I’d jot down a few things here for those wishing to to get you off on the right foot with [...]
