Is it possible to attune yourself to Reiki? Reiki is thought to need an attunement process, from teacher to student, in order to open channels in the hands to allow Reiki energy to flow. But in recent years I have found that more and more people are able to access Reiki simply through intention. This has amazing ramifications! I am a researcher by nature – I try to follow the evidence. What I found over the past few years in my own online teaching was people were jumping ahea

“Over the years I've not practiced what I learned during the course and haven't used self-healing on myself nor on family. Do you...

One of the most common clients I see are those entangled in unhealthy relationships. It seems that most Reiki people are empathic, and many are also co-dependent. It makes sense that as a people pleaser, you will be attracted to Reiki. Firstly, to recharge yourself after all that giving, and secondly to give more! Sometimes Reiki can actually stunt your growth through this phase as it actually refuels you enough to continue your toxic relationships. Without Reiki you would pr

When I tell this story to people, some get uptight and angry that such overt lying took place within teachers we trust and love. So I’ll...

Reiki is not a belief or placebo as this simple experiment shows. We take an apple and cut it in half, Reiki one half and leave the other half as a control. If Reiki is doing something different, it will produce different outcomes. What is important in any experiment is to see if there is a significant difference. If there is, it shows Reiki is not of the ‘imagination’. You can do this for yourself and get the proof for yourself! The Reiki Experiment Methodology In my Childre

One of the more surprising aspects of the Reiki Survey was the significant improvement in benefits perceived by the higher levels of training. This was something I was not expecting when I ran the report though with reflection it certainly makes sense. Level 2 is a quantum leap in many ways as it takes self-healing to a higher and more deliberate level. At the most basic level with Reiki we are simply acting as funnels, or to use a football analogy, we are simply spectator
