I receive so many inquiries about Reiki — which is a wonderful thing! Many people have heard of it, but are not sure exactly what it is. To those who have no clue, it might seem like a step away from “magic” or even worse — “voodoo” — and some just wonder if it is […]
As a practitioner, are you extremely concerned about picking up the negativity of others, or the “bad” karma of others as you offer them Reiki?
I have found that Practitioners vary in their response to that question. While many just wrap themselves in a strong and lovely cocoon of Reiki healing light, there are those […]
Shinpiden means mystery teachings in the Japanese system of Reiki. This was the highest level of study for a student who had already achieved first Shoden (First Degree) and then Okuden (Second Degree.) Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, supposedly only brought sixteen qualified students to this level during his lifetime.
This level eventually was […]
I often refer to Reiki as a “journey” or a “path” and when I teach a Level I class, it is exciting for me to see brand-new students begin this enlightening part of their lives. 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.
Reiki is a modality that certainly CAN work in miraculous ways. However, it is most likely to be effective when offered consistently and for a sustained period of time. […]
When I first decided to learn Reiki, I had no plans on starting a practice and certainly no thoughts on becoming a teacher. Yet, here I am doing just that — and finding it to be extremely fulfilling. Days that I have clients/and or students are days that are filled with light, joy and satisfaction. […]
You have taken your First Degree class and learned all the Reiki basics — you leave class as a full-fledged “officially” certified Reiki Practitioner. You are feeling quite good about your accomplishment and might even be on an energy-high after your attunement. So you go home — and what’s next? How will you use your […]
Whenever you learn any new skill, the more you practice, the more comfortable and experienced you become. It is the same with Reiki — and a healing circle is excellent way to learn more about the energy and the benefits of this modality.
This group healing event is also sometimes called a Reiki share, because […]
I recently received an email from a potential student, with a link to a video showing a demonstration of Animal Reiki. Though it was through a Reiki Center that works with shelter animals, the method shown looked more like the way we do Reiki for people. The Practitioner was demonstrating Reiki only in a hands-on […]
I just received an email from a student-friend of mine who is encouraging one of her clients to learn Reiki, and she is recommending me as a teacher. Though I thanked her for the referral, I wrote back explaining that learning Reiki must come from within one’s own heart. Reiki is not something to be […]
