Reiki Healing – The Wisdom of the Energy

We are all taught about what is known as the “wisdom” of Reiki — or, as I tell my own students, the phrase “Reiki has its own wisdom — it goes where it needs to go.” This is actually the beauty of this holistic modality in that the Practitioner does not need to direct or […]

Reiki Healing – Set Your Intention for the Energy to Flow

You may have heard that Reiki is about “intention.” I have had a number of students ask about this concept, and at first, they are not sure exactly what is meant by it. Well, it is about as simple as it sounds. The dictionary defines the term intention as “an act or instance of determining […]

Reiki Chanting – Using Vocal Toning to Empower Healing

After all, Mikao Usui was enlightened with the Reiki system of healing as he spent 21 days meditating and fasting on Mount Kurama.

Group Support – The Energetic Empowerment of the Circle

“All my life’s a circle…” – Harry Chapin

By circle […]

Relaxation Breathing Techniques of Reiki – Similar to Biofeedback?

Several years ago, I gave a special presentation about Reiki to a group of women who wanted to learn more about this system. One of the attendees was a Biofeedback therapist. However, I was not aware of that until later. At the end of my talk, I offered free Reiki mini-sessions to those that were […]
