Who attuned Dr. Usui?
Many people wonder that since you need an attunement to be able to do Reiki, how is it that Dr. Usui was able to do Reiki? Who was it that attuned Dr. Usui in the first place to allow him to be able to channel and pass on the Reiki energies? And to be perfectly

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 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). I believe this to be because the healing aspect of Reiki is extremely easy to master while the spiritual aspects are quite difficult…

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

Reiki and Acupuncture / Acupressure
The sciences of Acupuncture and Acupressure are so closely related that I am discussing them as one (although I realize there are some notable differences). For simplicity’s sake, in this treatise I am just referring to Acupressure as Acupuncture without the needles (see, I told you it was simple). 🙂 The main principle behind Acupuncture

Reiki and Reflexology
Here is another healing modality that is greatly enhanced by Reiki (and vice versa). Reflexology (aka Zone Therapy) is basically a simplified form of acupressure for the feet, (but can also be applied to the hands and ears as well) and in case you haven’t tried it, Reflexology is almost as simple to do as
