If you’re considering becoming a professional Reiki practitioner, I have some tips and insight that can save you years of trial and error. Do you feel called to share your intuitive healing gifts with the world? Does holding Reiki treatments and teaching energy healing practices excite you? If you’re considering becoming a professional Reiki practitioner, I have some tips and insight that can save you years of trial and error. Since 2018, I have been sharing in-person and dis

Kids and teens do not just have to be passive recipients of Reiki. In a world that is fast-paced, filled with academic pressures, constant screen time, and busy schedules, kids and teenagers are certainly not immune to experiencing anxiety and stress. As adults, we can support them by offering stress-reducing modalities that build lifelong skills they can use to stay grounded and reduce stress. One modality to consider is Reiki: Reiki is a Japanese technique that helps reduce

Our lives are full. Between work, family, household responsibilities, and the constant stream of media notifications, it is hard to get quality downtime. Many of us move from one task to the next without stopping, or if we do stop, we end up doing something that won’t fully renew us. Like scrolling on social media. We often think about what this pace does to our bodies and minds - we talk about stress, burnout, and exhaustion. But we rarely ask what other areas might be impac

"What is my personal mission?" As we walk this path called "life," we tend to realize there's more to be discovered (and built) than what we have been told. More of what's true to ourselves and less that fits the social norms. I've personally struggled with this question for a long time. I now have many students wondering the same thing. This is a sign of evolution. A sign you're climbing above what you see, and it's generally accepted. My answer is this: "Nobody can tell you

Speaking from pain wounds everyone involved. Your words are either charged with anger... ...or they stay trapped inside. Regardless, your body keeps a score of these unexpressed thoughts and feelings. Tension in your throat, thyroid dysfunction, and a strangled voice quickly follow. They gradually lock away your authenticity and genuine emotions. Reiki can help you reconnect with your authentic voice. The Spiritual Side Of Words Communication is an energetic exchange. Words c

I would usually send this in an email, but I feel this needs to reach others, no matter the time of year. Slow down and sort through what you have been through so far this year. Doing this will allow us to release what we have held onto but honestly don't need, and make it easier to make better decisions. They used the analogy of a tornado picking up a lot of different things and making it hard to see where things belong. You have to sort through the pile before you can beg

Kokoro* is often translated as “heart” or “mind.” Neither is sufficient. Kokoro refers to the integrated center of a person’s inner life. Thought, emotion, will, sincerity, perception, and responsiveness. Not separate. One field. In Western thinking, intellect and feeling are divided. In Japanese culture, kokoro is undivided. To think is a movement of kokoro. To feel is a movement of kokoro. To decide is a movement of kokoro. This is why cultivation in Reiki was never psychol

There are many quick and effective ways to stop attracting bad vibes and live happier lives. These sugg estions can assist you in creating a healthier, more positive environment in which to live and work, from being aware of your emotions to understanding the value of mindfulness and self-care. It's crucial to keep in mind that reducing negative energy requires ongoing work; success depends on persistence and patience. Meditation One of the most effective methods for calming

The world is a harsh place to be right now. Given all of the uncertainty, fear, and overwhelming energy that have been reported in the news for a very long time, it is understandable why so many of us find ourselves living in our worst nightmares and experiencing terrifying thoughts and emotions. Naturally, getting out of this negative rabbit hole can be pretty tricky after we've fallen into it. So, how do we break free from these destructive patterns and return to a state o

There comes a moment when life doesn’t go the way you planned. You feel overwhelmed, tired, and maybe even stuck. You try to push through, but something inside you knows this isn’t working anymore. Here’s the truth most people don’t say. A crisis is not the problem. It is the signal. It is a signal that something in your life is ready to change. When everything piles up, it is not just a bad week. It is often stress that has been building for too long, emotions you have not h

Can Reiki Help with Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery? Stroke is a growing global health issue and is currently the second-leading cause of death worldwide. Alarmingly, “the number of people dying of stroke could increase by 50% by 2050 unless significant improvements are made in prevention and treatment,” according to October 2023 research and data. According to 2022 statistics data from the American Heart Association, “On average in 2019, someone died of stroke every 3 min

Weekends don’t always leave us feeling refreshed. Sometimes they leave us raw. Maybe something difficult happened. Maybe emotions surfaced that you didn’t expect. Maybe you didn’t get the rest you needed. Or maybe nothing dramatic occurred at all - just a quiet heaviness that followed you into Monday morning. When that happens, the instinct is often to rush past it. We tell ourselves to “shake it off.”To “move on.”To “focus on the week ahead.” But emotions rarely disappea

One of the hardest things you can do when learning to use your intuition is to trust it without needing a full understanding or a perfect reason to act. We end up believing we don't have enough data. So, we take no action. Our society has convinced us that we must have a reason for everything - that it must be logical and explainable But our intuition isn't always logical. It's that quiet voice that guides us in the right direction even when it doesn't make sense. And so, the

Root chakra is the energetic centre that keeps us connected to the physical world. It allows us to experiment with our physical and spiritual life together with all its elements. Although its actual presence exists in the etheric realm, the root chakra is considered the first energetic centre located within the physical body spectrum. It has a vital role both literally and metaphorically. It serves as the generator of vital energy and is a catalyst for inner strength. The hea

Energy bodies are like gardens. They require constant care to see them bloom. Without conscious attention, they end up developing at random, looking like a still painting after a heavy winter. But this doesn't mean the potential is gone. The roots are still there. The desire to grow hasn't vanished. All they need is your conscious attention, once again. I had this conversation with some of my students the other week. They were wondering if the attunement is still valid after

Symbols have always fascinated us. Since the dawn of civilization, they have been part of culture, beliefs, and spiritual practices. From helping our infrastructure to religious institutions, symbols are present everywhere. They help us bridge the spiritual and the physical worlds and enhance our daily lives with divine wisdom. In Reiki, there are two categories of symbols. Traditional - passed down from Mikao Usui . Non-traditional - channelled by other Reiki Masters. The sy

Using Reiki healing to balance your chakras means cleansing and activating both your primary and secondary energy centres through the universal life force energy flow. This is a simple process with multiple beneficial outcomes. It’s best to have knowledge of both Reiki and the energy system to better understand where the universal energy flows and what it does in its path. This will help maximize your efforts by assessing the information you receive and integrating the energy

Before you can rise, you must first learn how to ground. Without a strong foundation, any house, any relationship, any spiritual practice will grow on vulnerability. When this happens, the entire structure is at risk. Our energetic anatomy might seem divided into multiple elements. The upper chakras handle the connection with our consciousness, while the lower chakras preserve our mental and emotional balance. Still, they all work together and function as one unit. To reach a

When experiencing a myriad of imbalances and ailments, such as dizziness, anxiety, pain, and discomfort, you may be wondering whether there’s a deeper cause behind them. You may be searching for a true understanding of how your mind and emotions are playing a part in your reality. You may be wondering, “Do I have a chakra blockage?” If so, this post will help you get clear on what chakra blockages are, how they form, the signs and symptoms of an imbalance, and how to clear th

A new exploratory study published in Frontiers in Psychology offers something many Reiki practitioners have witnessed for years: even a brief Reiki session can create a meaningful shift in how people feel — especially in communities carrying extraordinary levels of stress.
