As Common as Aspirin
April 6th, 2010
“I want Reiki to be as common as aspirin.”–Hawayo Takata
Reiki-as-common-as-aspirin means Reiki available mainstream, maybe not at your local pharmacy, but available where the mainstream public hangs out. You could help make that desire a reality. Are you with me?

Recipe for Reiki Credibility
February 12th, 2010
What ingredients make a Reiki practitioner credible? How can you know if a practitioner is trustworthy and well trained?
Since there are no agreed-upon standards for Reiki education, Reiki certificates are essentially meaningless. A First degree (beginning level) student might have more training than someone who advertises herself as a Reiki master. This creates a credibility challenge both for people who are new to Reiki, and for practitioners who want to showcase their credibility.
