King's Touch Reiki

 Recently a friend sent a note, saying she was experiencing pain in her upper body and neck, and feel it is related to 'releasing ancestor pain bodies.' In addition to sending distant healing, I suggested she do one of my favorite clearing exercises, followed by a short self treatment.  You may wish to try it as well!  Take a few minutes to set sacred space - dim the lights, light a candle, and invite your angels and guides to assist. Cozy space Three Sweeps (I usually stand): Rub your hands together Bring your hands above your head: Fingers facing back, little fingers together, hands a few inches above your head. 'sweep' down over your hair and shoulders then sides (just off the body) At the bottom, flick your fingers toward the floor/ ground. Repeat twice more:  'I cleanse my aura (sweep & flick) 'I cleanse my spirit (sweep & flick) 'I cleanse my body (sweep & flick) Imagine anything cleansed / cleared goes into the earth as compost!  Take...

  In a recent post in the Usui Reiki Ryōhō group on Facebook, the querent asked ' if Reiki energy is in everything, why do we need to be attuned? ' Why, indeed? I've been asked this question several times over the last 34 years, and usually offer a story... Mrs Takata, who brought Reiki to the West, used the analogy of Radio waves - and talked about tuning in to the Reiki Channel - moving the dial till you get a clear signal. She also suggested envisioning the 'distant' symbol as a radio tower, for beaming energy / 'sending' the a Reiki energy over distance of space and time. Reiki precepts In my own experience as a Reiki teacher in the Usui/ Hayashi/Takata / Furumoto lineage: one of my first students in 1991 was very peaved that her 'guides' insisted she take my Reiki class! She already DID healing, thank you very much!  Sigh ... they kept nudging, so she came (I've written another part of her story here ) We talked a few minutes, A. was VERY re...

  There are may ways to 'send' Reiki over distance of space and time. For several years , one I've used is writing prayers,  charging the with Reiki (sometimes drawing the symbols), and placing them in my Reiki box. I also invite friends and clients to write the prayers themselves.  Reiki Box The box can be folded from a card (here, I've the box for a chocolate bar) , and decorated as you wish. For this one, I've used acrylics and mod podge on brown packing paper.  Box and collage papers To  activate sending Reiki,  use the techniques you've learned. 'Turn Reiki on, ' draw the symbols, then focus energy on the Reiki Box. If you haven't taken Second degree, simple hold you box, and use your intention to Empower the healing.  Follow your instinct for how long and often to 'send' Reiki.'  You could keep your Reiki Precept cards in this box as well.  Blue crystal heart I placed this blue crystal heart in my Reiki box, and will tuck the pray...

 In the late 80s when I was first attuned to Reiki, the classes I took were small, and the exchanges were one-on one. At Breitenbush, I experienced group sessions at our PNW Reiki gatherings, and in my classes, but only occasionally with visiting Masters. Stones from Reiki Mastery Students When I moved to the Oregon coast in the fall of 1994, I began offering Reiki classes and Initiations in the local area.   Shortly after arriving in Neskoin, I met Anita, who had taken Reiki 1 & 2 before moving to Oregon. Anita knew she   wanted  "Personal Mastery,"  and felt Reiki might be the vessel she sought. Was I willing to take her as a student? ... Yes!   Dance of energy Anita loved Reiki shates, and offered to host and help facilitate Circles for our community! We set up 2 tables, and she opened her living room for weekly circles. We also offered classes together, and Anita taught our group a lot about holding space, from her ex periences with Reiki,...

 After nearly 40 years as a Massage Therapist, and 30 with Reiki, I am shifting my practice to include more virtual work, and fewer in person sessions. Reiki and other energetic offerings are often more powerful when offered remotely, which gives us the opportunity to work together wherever we are in the World! Time angel In a  constantly changing world, we are often asked to Pivot to adjust to new energies and opportunities. This last year has invited many of us to rethink how we connect, and what we offer.  When we combine Reiki with a dash of creativity ...  happens! Remote Reiki and Lightweaving sessions r educe stress, support relaxation, rejuvenation, and a return to wholeness. They heighten one's ability to connect with our inner light and with others in a deeper, more compassionate way.  I have been using Tuning Forks in my work for over a decade, and these translate especially well for distant sessions.  I use both the  Intention tuners ...

One of my artist friends, Karen Sue, paints each morning for 20 minutes on watercolor paper, and began making intention boxes! She's taking them to a Valentines Day event, and has a little poem about putting intentions in the box. I thought of our Reiki Boxes , what a great way to combine two intentional processes!!  My mom used to make pretty little boxes using old Christmas cards, as shown in this Karen Sue's intention boxes little tutorial !  Karen has made the  bottoms of her boxes deeper. This is an easy way to make a small box of your own, for Reiki prayers, gratuities, intentions. I'm eager to make some of my own! 

My middle granddaughter, now 14, has struggled with OCD and worries for a number of years. Though off gluten since 4 (which helps!) very committed to avoiding other foods she's sensitive to, and on medication, she still struggles.  Several years ago, my niece recommended EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), and last year, KK had a series of 6 sessions with a local practitioner. This was something she could do on her own, and faithfully tapped each evening before bed for several months. She also tapped before athletic events, to ease anxiety and boost performance. She's doing better, and has "one more tool" for stressful times. EFT is an energy meridian therapy, which involves tapping on a series of meridian points on the upper body (head, chest and hands) in a specific pattern, generally while repeating an affirmative phrase. Last fall I enrolled in an online EFT course with Graham Nichols , and I've attended several group sessions with KK's ...

Accidents, surgeries, stress and trauma contribute to feelings of imbalance and being out of synch, what if that could change? We have many examples of Reiki bringing just such changes, for thousands of people!  We now know that our bodies contain the same matter as stars, and that the state of our body electric affects the whole system. Trauma registers in the body's energy field, and energy healing is out most effective tool for clearing that trauma. I've been using calibrated tuning forks on combination with Reiki, both on the body and in the energy field, for over a decade, and find the results profound. Changes in the field ripple over to bring emotional and mental balance, in addition to physical ease and healing. Often old relationship patterns shift, and we come into allotment with our soul purpose! Like Reiki, Tune-Up / Recalibration sessions are most effective when scheduled as a series of sessions.  My Recalibration Medicine Basket includes: Reiki (hand...

Do you struggle to create harmony between your obligations and personal time? Do you often run out of juice before you run out of day? Do old stories run your life? Are you exploring how to bring more creativity, joy and passion into your life? Do your actions and use of time/resources align with your values? When we combine Reiki with coaching, and add a dash of creativity, Magïc happens! Coaching within the Spiral assists as you integrate your current practices, open to new possibilities, and refine your goals. Reiki  reduces stress, supports relaxation, rejuvenation, and a return to wholeness. It heightens one's ability to connect with others in a deeper, more compassionate way.  Coaching is a collaborative partnership, fostering positive change, and creating with intention supports shifts that last. Adding Intentional Creativity projects puts the shifts into palpable form. The gentle energy of Reiki is an ideal complement to coaching. Blending Reiki, Crea...

 I've 'sent' Reiki to people & situations over the years, individually, in Reiki Circles, on prayer chains, etc. Last summer, I noticed a lovely blog post   on making a 'Reiki Box' for sending Reiki.  The author noted that he decorated a small box (his is 3" x 2.5" x 2.5") of natural materials, & puts slips of paper with requests for distant healing, his own blessings for past & future, & 'anything else that needs Reiki energy.' He charges the slips with Reiki (sometimes drawing the symbols) before placing them in the box. He decorated his with angels, butterflies & flowers, & writes to activate treatment,  'proceed with the Reiki techniques you have been trained to do. Turn Reiki on, draw the symbols, then focus energy on the Reiki Box. Follow your instinct for how long to 'send' Reiki.' I put this blue crystal heart on top of the requests in my Reiki box.  In December, I plan to do a Zen funeral...

There are many ways of 'sending' Reiki over distance of space & time. This practice has been done over the centuries in many traditions. A few years before I learned Reiki, my friend Candy G mentioned that her Cherokee Grandmother was a 'Prayer healer;' whenever she thought of someone, she immediately sent a blessing to/for them. People would often stop them on the street, to thank Grandmother for her prayers! She didn't need to know what was wrong, simply that prayers were needed! I remember thinking "I want to do that, too!" ... and focusing on that, when I would think of it. Years before, a friend raised Catholic and i were at the state gate, when we heard sirens. She immediately stopped, and sent blessings, as the Nuns had taught her. Again, I was inspired, & incorporated it into my practices. When I learned 2nd Degree Reiki, I had a new tool/vehicle for sending prayers and blessings!  This can be done for individuals & situations. ...
