Currently, reiki is best known as an alternative to Western medicine, with a focus on physical healing. But in my opinion, that only covers half of what it’s capable of. Reiki is a healing method with a focus on overall health, including mental and spiritual health. In fact, I...

In the past few days, thanks to the popularity of Star Wars Day, you might have caught glimpses of Jedis using “the Force” on TV reruns or YouTube clips. They most likely looked pretty tense, straining with concentration. That’s one place where reiki is completely different from the Force....

One aspect that sets Usui Reiki apart from other methods of energy healing is that they have symbols and mantras that makes it faster and easier to connect with the reiki energy. It is definitely Mikao Usui’s crowning achievement, making energy healing so easy and accessible for anyone at...

For today’s post, I was planning to write about the first step you take during a reiki session: Setting your intentions. But yesterday’s post about “the Force” in the Star Wars universe got me thinking about the wording of my own mantras, so I’m finding myself reworking parts of the...

For some years now, during the month of May, I’ve taken on a project called A Month of Mays, where I write a prayer for the world and expand on it each day. This year, I want to do this with a focus on reiki, in hopes that it...

When the American founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence back in 1776, they began a new era for not just one country, but for everyone around the world. It’s hard to imagine a world without a democratic United States now. However, even the most well-thought-out plan can become...

Here in the U.S., we’re reeling from yet another devastating mass shooting at an elementary school. And the more we learn about what happened, the more the story defies common logic. It just doesn’t make sense that an 18-year-old with a troubled past was able to purchase 2 rifles...
