Memories of Mt. Kurama
My first trip to Mt. Kurama, the birthplace of Reiki was, as you might imagine, a wonderful experience. The energies there are simply amazing and as a pilgrim to one of Reiki’s sacred spots simple pleasures abound. My first trip there was by car while all subsequent trips have been by train and each time,

Memories of Saihoji Temple
My first visit to Saihoji Temple (the burial place of Mikao Usui) in Tokyo was, I’m sure, like that of most other Reiki pilgrims… i.e., an experience that I will cherish forever. It was about 5 years ago and I had just finished a Reiki Master Seminar with Hiroshi Doi (link to the right ->)

Reiki and Green Tea
I may be stretching a bit here in search of a connection, but I do believe the question has to be asked… what is the relationship between Reiki and Green Tea? And before you ask, the answer is NO!!!… I’m not trying to write one of those sensationalized National Enquirer type stories like “Boy Eats

The Secret of the Reiki Symbols
Okay, maybe this is not a secret… but due the the inefficient way the Reiki symbols have been taught in the past by many teachers, the true nature of these symbols has never been realized, so in essence it does remain secret… so if you’re looking for the answer to some deep dark mystery you’ve

Reiki and Education
This is an area quite near and dear to my heart in that my day job is that of a language teacher. So I could probably write a book about Reiki & Education (or Reiki in the Classroom… and someday I just may) but for now I promise to keep it short. Reiki Level 2

Reiki and Massage
As touched upon in the posts on Reiki & Aromatherapy & Reiki & Reflexology and to some extent in the post on Reiki & Acupressure, Reiki & Massage complement each other extremely well and since either of these therapies work well on their own, the combination makes for an extremely powerful session. The main idea

Reiki and Auras
Aura viewing is an integral part of my own approach to Reiki teaching as it is very easy to teach and much easier to perceive than the more subtle Reiki energies. Wikipedia defines an aura as a “subtle field of luminous multicolored radiation surrounding a person or object as a cocoon or halo. An aura

Reiki and Chakras
As opposed to the ability to see Auras (discussed here), the ability to see chakras is much more difficult, but you don’t have to be able to see them to take advantage of their existence. One excellent description of chakras found at Wikipedia defines them as such: A chakra is a center of activity that

The Quantum Nature of Reiki Energy
In the wonderful little book called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, by Edwin A. Abbott, (available here in its entirety) the idea that 2 dimensional people called Flatlanders are not able to understand 3 dimensional reality is presented. Imagine a 2 dimensional place, where the people are also 2 dimensional…. like in this image
