Reiki Is Not a Word

November 5th, 2009

How often have you seen information about Reiki that starts with this: Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal life energy.
What is wrong with that sentence?
First of all, there are no Japanese words. The Japanese language is written in pictograms, not words.
I hear someone saying, “Picky, picky, picky.” And I completely own it. I am picky, [...]

July 30th, 2009

What’s the ideal length for a Reiki treatment?
Simple answer: as long as is needed.
But how frequently is that an option?

Smiles Said It All

June 10th, 2009

Many women entered the sunlit room smiling, but others looked tentative, and some were in obvious pain. A couple dozen didn’t speak English.

During six hours of silent treatment last Sunday, 120 women had their first Reiki experience at the JCC’s annual Spa Day for Women with Cancer. Each group was [...]
