Chakras and Reiki
I once heard a Reiki Master refuse to discuss Chakras because they were not originally part of Reiki. This Master is correct of course; Reiki is a Japanese practice and Chakras are not how the Japanese see the energy anatomy. However, I think Chakras can be incorporated into the system of Reiki. Chakra is a […]
Crafting a Reiki Altar
“When we have 100% faith in our own personal practice then it doesn’t matter what others say about it. You wouldn’t care, get angry or worried about that if you had 100% faith in your practice. Therefore faith is a very important element in our journey!” – Frans Stiene For me, crafting a Reiki altar […]

During the process of a Reiki treatment, most Reiki practitioners are doing this technique without even thinking […]
Shielding and Reiki – Part 1
This article is the first part of a series on Shielding and Reiki. In this article, I would like to discuss the necessity of shielding while giving Reiki. Many people believe that because Reiki is about projecting energy only, that there is no need to shield. If the energy is constantly going out, then you […]
Thoughts on the Origins of the Reiki Story
A lot of teachers still teach the Reiki Story – or the Traditional History of Reiki, in their Reiki 1 classes. And while the Reiki Story teaches many lessons, I don’t think we can describe it as history any longer. The Reiki Story came from a telephone interview given by Hawayo Takata many years ago. Many […]
Forgiveness Practice
When I took the Basic Pranic Healing workshop from Master Stephen Co, I learned a great many things. But none of them were more powerful than the Forgiveness practice he taught us. Even doing this for just the few minutes in the workshop had profound effects on me. So I thought I would share it […]

I decided to take some time to talk about my personal mantra. This is what I say to myself on a regular basis to keep me on track, as it were. The nice thing about a personal mantra is that you get to take full ownership. The connection is stronger because I took the time […]
