Reiki Dieting
While I’m sure there are many ways to use Reiki in your diet, this is the one that has worked for me… although, as is true with all diets, it does take a certain amount of discipline to achieve the best results. Dieting, in my opinion, has both physical and emotional components. The physical ones

Top 10 List – Reiki Pet Peeves
This list might be difficult to compile as there is very little that annoys me in the wonderful world of Reiki… but I’ve been asked to give it a go… so here you have it… just a word of warning… most of these are extremely minor annoyances and they are in no particular order, and

Reiki & Watches
I‘ve been asked if I’ve ever had my watch stop (or otherwise malfunction) while doing Reiki and to be honest I never have… but I have heard many stories from people who have. I was at an after Reiki share party once and there was a guy who could stop watches and claimed it was

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 ->)
