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, [...]

Reiki has a lot of abilities beyond those associated with healing and/or spirituality. While not specifically qualifying as traditional Reiki, some of the more newly developed styles of Reiki include some of these in their lessons and as there is no law set in stone about what does and what doesn’t qualify as Reiki, [...]

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 [...]

No, not that family!!! Your family!!! Unless, of course, that family IS your family. What’s that saying… “the family that Reiki’s together, stays together” or “keep it in the family” or something like that? Anyway… I’d like to discuss the first saying, that is “the family that Reiki’s together, stays together” and can testify to [...]

*SPOILER – This post may not turn out to be as much about Reiki as I would like… I won’t know until I’ve finished… although I’m sure I’ll find some way to fit it in… I usually do…
Double “R” Reiki sounds kind of like some kind of esoteric dude ranch… however, [...]

Recent posts have brought the idea of Karma under the microscope so I thought it might be advantageous to organize my thoughts on it and present them here in reference to Reiki.
What is Karma?
There are many definitions and interpretations of Karma, but I basically believe it to be the Law of Balance in the universe. [...]

Allow me to tell you about my very first experience with Reiki and my first Reiki training… which I refer to affectionately as Reiki Lite (or Reiki Light for the more traditional)…
In 1990 (give or take a year) I was living in Los Angeles and I had a girlfriend who was very involved with Reiki [...]

For the longest time I was of the opinion that Reiki should be free for everyone… and to some extent I still believe this to be true… however, there are limitations to this and I would like to take a look at them here.
First of all, virtually everyone I’ve taught Reiki to for free has [...]

I believe the time is ripe for a Reiki Revolution. Perhaps Revolution is too strong a word for a spiritual uprising, but I believe it apropos. After all, a revolution refers to any change in society brought on by a deemed necessity, and I have the feeling that man is at a crossroads where he [...]

Another interesting question popped up today… that of “How do I know if its really Reiki energy I’m dealing with?” While the answer is simple, it may not be quite so obvious.
In order to answer this question we need two different forms of energy… one Reiki and the other Non-Reiki. We also need to be [...]
