• Reiki – A Torch In Daylight

    There is an interesting story about Dr. Usui that I never grow tired thinking about concerning his carrying a torch in the middle of the day. There have been many interpretations of its significance, most of which I disagree with, but I think the gist shines through… if you’ll pardon the pun.  A Torch In Daylight The generally

  • Reiki Cocktail

    Okay I think its time to lay this question to rest. Twice this week I’ve been asked if it is an accepted Reiki practice that alcohol is not allowed. I’m not really sure where that idea first came from, but I’d like to address it here. First off, alcohol is allowed. There is nothing at all in

  • Change Made Easy With Reiki

    Today we are going to look at some more practical aspects of yesterday’s post of Making Change Easy With Reiki and as I believe this is an extremely important subject we will be returning to it on occasion. The first consideration there is when dealing with change is exactly what type of change you are

  • Reiki Admiralty

    Today I’d like to take a quick look at Reiki Admiralty, those Imperial Japanese Navy Admirals (Ushida, Taketomi, Wanami and the lesser known Imaizumi) who played an important role in the development of the Reiki system in the early days. The current goings on behind the secretive (dare I say militaristic) walls of the Usui

  • Reiki Festivals

    Its summer festival (Natsu Matsuri) season here in Japan and while enjoying my neighborhood festival (comparable in many ways to American block parties that seem to have been much more frequent when I was growing up) I was asked to give a quick Reiki treatment to a friend who was having trouble adjusting to the

  • Was Dr. Usui Christian?

    One of the stories told by Hawayo Takata and propagated by her students was that Dr. Usui was educated by Christian missionaries and that he actually converted to Christianity himself. I’d like to take a closer look at these claims here. The story (by my understanding) goes that Dr. Usui was not only a Christian,

  • Dr. Chujiro Hayashi

    I was discussing the Meiji Restoration yesterday with one of my Reiki students (who is a retired high school history teacher) when, for one reason or another, the subject turned to Dr. Hayashi. Several questions were raised and I found my answers less then adequate, so I decided to do a little research and frankly,

  • Reiki Sustained

    In this post I’d like to take a look at some advanced Reiki energetics as a follow up to my post on The Quantum Nature of Reiki Energy. First, I’d like to take a quick look at a branch of sound therapy where there have been many studies on the effects of sound on a

  • Reiki Master Symbol

    In several posts I have discussed the origins of the Reiki Master Symbol in passing, I’d like to take a look at it in a bit more detail here. Originally, the Reiki Master Symbol was not a Reiki symbol at all. Upon completion of shinpiden level studies (the master level) Dr. Usui would present his

  • Reiki Samurai

    The muse struck sooner than I expected… cool! Out of the possible titles for this post (Reiki & Bushido or Reiki & The Art of War or Reiki Samurai or Reiki Ninja) Reiki Samurai is the victor because it seems to encompass the essence of all the others. What is a Reiki Samurai? The Samurai
