For a typical Reiki treatment, a client removes shoes only and then lays down on a Reiki table, which is similar to a massage table. The one-hour session may consist of 10-15 minutes of discussion with the remainder being table-time — the part where an individual deeply relaxes and is open to the healing benefits […]
When Mikao Usui, the founder of the system of Reiki, sat up on Mt. Kurama in Japan in a meditational retreat — after 21 days, it is said that he was suddenly enlightened with the great Reiki energy. And this indeed was a life-changing event for him. Though no one is certain exactly what Usui’s […]
Animal Reiki for one’s own beloved pets is quite a different thing from offering healing energy to a wild, feral or aggressive animal. With your own creatures — who are pretty much family to you — you can be more confident and certainly not have to worry about safety, unless your pet is a recently […]
It had been a busy day — with my monthly Healing Circle (which runs several hours) in the morning, and then a 20 mile round-trip visit to a canine Reiki client for a full session with him. My Reiki tasks completed, my husband and I went for a very late afternoon workout at our gym, […]

We learn the Precepts, some meditations, some Japanese Reiki techniques, hands-on healing, self-healing practices — all the foundation tools for […]
How long should I give Reiki? Exactly what can Reiki be used for? These are some of the common questions that I hear from newer students.

Do you experience a sense of prosperity and abundance? Do you have a healthy flow of money to pay your bills and provide for extras? Everybody likes to talk about financial abundance because that is something we all aspire to — unless we are sitting in a monastery somewhere or have taken a vow of […]
