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 [...]
I‘m not going to go into an in-depth discussion about Angels, as there are far too many interpretations and religious underpinnings, but I’d like to quickly discuss a recent Reiki encounter I’ve had with what are commonly referred to as Angels that I thought y’all might be interested in.
First off, I’m of the opinion that [...]
Welcome to the 2008 Reiki Alphabet Challenge!!! Its great to have you here!!! This challenge is designed to give you something new to Reiki every day by giving you a new letter to focus on each day. Hopefully, by the end of the challenge you will have Reikied things you hadn’t considered before and thereby [...]
Yoga, like Reiki, was originally intended as a spiritual pursuit. Western Yoga, again like Western Reiki, seems to have lost its spirituality somewhere in the translation and just as Reiki is billed primarily as a healing or relaxation technique, Yoga is primarily billed as a physical pretzel replicating pursuit.

The comment in question concerned [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
I was discussing the Meiji Restoration yesterday with one of my Reiki students (who is a retired high school history teacher) when, for one reason or another, the subject turned to Dr. Hayashi. Several questions were raised and I found my answers less then adequate, so I decided to do a little research and frankly, [...]
In several posts I have discussed the origins of the Reiki Master Symbol in passing, I’d like to take a look at it in a bit more detail here.
