The Attunement is the term given to the unique process of initiating a student into a particular Level of Reiki training.

Have you ever faced this scenario: you have a new client who is quite talkative and the pre-treatment discussion seems to go on and on to the point where it seems like you will never get the client onto your Reiki table and into a state of deep relaxation…

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 […]
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. […]
Grady on a previous visit, all curled up on the sofa!
