May We Include Positive Self-talk in Self-Care
Once we get used to using reiki, it begins to inform many different aspects of our daily lives. It changes the way we view and treat others. It changes the way we view and treat inanimate objects. But most importantly, it changes the way we view and treat ourselves. ...
A Month of Mays : May We Cultivate Inner Peace
Currently, reiki is best known as an alternative to Western medicine, with a focus on physical healing. But in my opinion, that only covers half of what it’s capable of. Reiki is a healing method with a focus on overall health, including mental and spiritual health. In fact, I...
Month of Mays: May We Relax to Gain Strength
In the past few days, thanks to the popularity of Star Wars Day, you might have caught glimpses of Jedis using “the Force” on TV reruns or YouTube clips. They most likely looked pretty tense, straining with concentration. That’s one place where reiki is completely different from the Force....
May We Understand the Reasons for Symbols and Mantras
One aspect that sets Usui Reiki apart from other methods of energy healing is that they have symbols and mantras that makes it faster and easier to connect with the reiki energy. It is definitely Mikao Usui’s crowning achievement, making energy healing so easy and accessible for anyone at...
May We Set Our Intentions with Love and Conviction
For today’s post, I was planning to write about the first step you take during a reiki session: Setting your intentions. But yesterday’s post about “the Force” in the Star Wars universe got me thinking about the wording of my own mantras, so I’m finding myself reworking parts of the...
May You Remember that the Force is Already Within
It’s May 4th, and you might have noticed a lot of references to Star Wars today, including their most famous line, “May the Force be with you.” As a reiki practitioner, I find “the Force” rather intriguing. Although fictional, the idea is still relevant enough to make me take...
May We Understand Reiki Attunement and If It’s Necessary
In my last post, I implied that everyone is capable of using reiki, even without any training. But Usui reiki has this process called “attunement” that allegedly opens up the path for reiki to flow into you. Saying that it’s not necessary to start using reiki may ruffle some feathers,...
May We Become Aware of the Energy Flow Around Us
Have you ever used reiki or any other forms of energy healing before? If I say to you that you are capable of controling the energy flow around you, even without any training whatsoever, would you believe me? You might answer “no” to the questions above, but I bet...
A Month of Mays: May We Understand Reiki Energy
For some years now, during the month of May, I’ve taken on a project called A Month of Mays, where I write a prayer for the world and expand on it each day. This year, I want to do this with a focus on reiki, in hopes that it...
Let’s Upgrade To A New Type Of Democracy
When the American founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence back in 1776, they began a new era for not just one country, but for everyone around the world. It’s hard to imagine a world without a democratic United States now. However, even the most well-thought-out plan can become...
