• Differences between Eastern and Western Reiki

    If you asked me about the differences between traditional Japanese Reiki (what I’m calling Eastern Reiki) and that studied in other countries (what I’m calling Western Reiki) when I first started to study Reiki here in Japan (about 10 years ago) I would have said the differences were night and day. However over the last

  • Reiki and Religion

    In a nutshell (although a highly contentious one) it is my belief that Reiki is in no way, shape or form a religion. It is either a spiritual path or a healing practice (depending on how traditional you want to be) but there is absolutely nothing religious about it and because of this quality it

  • Reiki for Kids

    I have been asked many times about the relationship between Reiki and Kids and as in many of the cases previously discussed I believe this to be another match made in heaven. One of the obstacles to performing Reiki that many practitioners encounter is that they think too much. Kids do not have this same

  • Reiki and Crystals

    Along with Aromatherapy the use of Reiki with Crystals is a bit more advanced in nature, but not so much so that any Reiki practitioner can’t do it quite easily. Crystals have the ability to hold Reiki energy for vast amounts of time and remain extremely effective with very little care. All you have to

  • Reiki and Qi Gong

    Since Reiki and Qi Gong are both healing arts (in their broadest forms) there is an inherent connection In this post I would like to take a look at some of the simpler aspects of that connection and see exactly where the two disciplines connect/disconnect. First I’d like to clarify exactly what we are talking

  • Reiki and Aromatherapy

    Reiki & Aromatherapy are (in more ways than one) a match made in heaven. And off of the top of my head I can easily think of several applications where one can enhance the other so well, that it would be a shame to perform one without performing the other… because in its most fundamental

  • Reiki and Yoga

    Reiki and Yoga (in their purest forms) are closer than most people could possibly image. They are both, first and foremost, paths to enlightenment and there is even a branch of Yoga (called Prana Vidya) which deals directly with energy healing. While the use of energy in Yoga more closely resembles that of Qi Gong

  • The Reiki Experience

    Reiki sessions vary from person to person but if its true Reiki (i.e., nothing foreign introduced to the session) I have never heard of it being anything other than a completely relaxing experience. In fact, its so relaxing that 90% of the time that I give a Reiki treatment the recipient falls asleep within the

  • The Reiki Attunement Process

    The only way for a student to truly learn Reiki is to be directly initiated into it by a Reiki Master. This initiation is referred to as a Reiki Attunement. There are many different opinions as to how attunements should or can be passed, some schools offer long-distance attunements (in several different forms), some offer

  • The 4 Levels of Japanese Reiki

    Japanese Reiki is generally divided into 4 levels, as opposed to the 3 levels that Western Reiki is divided into. This is an introduction to those 4 levels… each will be discussed in greater details further on down the line. Level I – (Shoden in Japanese, which means “Beginning Level”) – Instruction at this level
