Why isn’t Reiki more popular in Japan?
I recently encountered an interesting discussion on one of the Reiki boards about why Reiki “did not get air under its wings in Japan as it did in the West” and in my opinion, while many of the suggested causes were quite interesting (especially the one about the refrigerator) they are ultimately all wrong. The

Reiki and Personality
There are many different personality types, and many interesting tests which attempt to to fit you into one category or another. My doctoral dissertation was on learning styles, and generally learning style are derived from ones personality type. I think a (very) general understanding of your (or your student’s) personality type can go a long

Reiki’s Hatsurei Ho
Several times I have mentioned the Reiki practice of Hatsurei Ho, and since I have received several questions about it I though I would save myself some time and create a post that I can refer to in response. 🙂 What is Hatsurei Ho? Hatsurei Ho is a Reiki exercise that Dr. Usui (Reiki’s founder)

Reiki’s Future
While there is absolutely no way to see into the future (if you find one be sure to notify my stockbroker) I have some strong ideas about what Reiki will be like in the future. I’m not sure exactly when, but I believe that some time in the not so distant future Reiki will be

Reiki and Enlightenment
First and foremost, Reiki was designed as a path to spiritual enlightenment, however, it seems to have changed over the years to being just another healing modality (although a very potent one).

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
