Reiki & Pain: One Woman’s Story
April 3rd, 2010
Just Relaxed. Really, Just?
February 6th, 2010
Just relaxed is a very big deal. Just relaxed is a biochemical event, the beginning of healing, and what you’re not getting enough of. So follow Dr. Oz’s orders, and try Reiki.
Reiki Is Not Ancient
January 29th, 2010
Reiki is not ancient.
It’s either modern (a practice started by Mikao Usui in the 1920s in Japan), or it’s timeless (if by Reiki, you mean the unified field, source, primordial consciousness, pure awareness, great mystery, whatever you call that all-pervasive, unending reality to which we connect when we practice Reiki).
Sleep Much?
January 22nd, 2010
We are a sleep-deprived nation. Not only adults, but–even more alarming–many school-aged children are suffering from a lack of deep, nourishing sleep. And I mean suffering. Science links poor sleep with an increasing list of serious health conditions, including obesity and depression.
In one of life’s great ironies, as you become more exhausted, your body seems to forget how to sleep well. Reiki treatment reminds your body how to shift that gear, and quickly improves the quality of your sleep.
Peace Work
December 30th, 2009
May 2010 be a year of profound peace.
May we live with the awareness that each time we place our Reiki hands on ourselves, we are placing another brick in the road to world peace.
Our self-practice is the effort we can make to create peace, an offering we can give ourselves and the world every day.
Please tell us how Reiki has brought peace to your life.

Eat too much?
Drink too much?
Get caught under the mistletoe?
Not get caught under the mistletoe?
Toward a More Plausible Reiki Model
December 11th, 2009
How does Reiki work? This question comes up often. The answer is simple: We don’t know.
We don’t know.
I find those words liberating. They free me from the common explanation, “the Reiki energy comes through and goes where it’s needed,” and enable me to explore and contemplate my practice. Perhaps you’d like to do the same. Let’s chew on this together.
With Gratitude, Work Diligently
November 24th, 2009
In practice,
there is much repetition,
and there is no repetition.
Waiting for…Second Degree
October 14th, 2009
Good things come to those who wait.
That was one of my mom’s favorite aphorisms, offered frequently to her impatient, let’s-get-going child–me.
Like Mark Twain, I was amazed how much smarter my parents became as I got older, and I’ve learned the value of sustained effort over time to improve skills and achieve goals…but honestly, waiting is [...]
What Is Reiki?–What to do?
October 2nd, 2009
Ask an artist What is art? and you’ll likely get either more than you bargained for in language you can barely recognize as your native tongue, or a cold, frustrated stare. To many artists, art is something they do, not something they talk about.
Reiki practitioners can relate. The question What is Reiki? floods them with such [...]
