King's Touch Reiki

  Mrs Takata encouraged her students to practice  "Reiki for the self first! "  before treating others.   When we're new students, we are excited and inspired to practice self Reiki daily, but as time passes, we may fall away.  Attending a Reiki circle is a lovely way to connect with the energy and other practioners.  Green Dragon On Tuesday, we hosted a Reiki circle in the lovely office where I've begun teaching, and were delighted to be joined by 4 'Reiki Peeps.'

You will feel brighter and lighter immediately! The salt collects stagnant / negative energy, and 'gremlins' so it's important to take that next step and toss it out!  Infuse your broom with Reiki and cinnamon Like smudging, you can bless a space with Reiki. One of Hawayo Takata's stories was of touching and blessing the walls of her Reiki House, as it was under construction. I did this with Rose Cottage, plus several Feng Shui practices. Put a bit of cinnamon essential oi...
