Reiki, ah yes, Reiki. A word many have heard - but few truly understand.
To most people Reiki is all about healing. And yes it is indeed a healing art as we’ll explain…
But - it is also so much more as well…
So What Exactly is Reiki?
Reiki, as we have already said, is best known in the west as a gentle but powerful system of hands on healing. And it is a system, which can easily be learned by anyone to heal themselves, others, plants and animals.
But as mentioned above it is so much more as well.
Reiki helps you…

Chikara-Reiki-Do... What is it?
Well, in one sense, Chikara-Reiki-Do is a unique system of self-initiation techniques which allows you to attune yourself to the wonderful energy of Reiki rediscovered - some say discovered - by Dr Usui.
But it's somewhat more than this too, because expanding on the original Usui system - as it does - it also enables you to directly attune all seven of your major chakras to the Reiki energy - not just two - and...
Because you do it all yourself you can also re-attune yourself whenever you choose...
A definite plus when it comes to consolidating the energy within you...

Has anyone ever asked you this question before? Indeed, have you ever asked it yourself?
Chances are, on both counts, that you haven’t - and this is not at all surprising.
For you see…
Nobody actually gives it much thought.
Everyone seems quite happy to just accept the history as given by other Reiki practitioners, and…
No matter which story of the origins of Reiki you choose to believe in - you are asked to accept that the ability to channel Reiki can only be passed on to you by an existing Reiki Master.
And, at least initially, this sounds plausible and quite acceptable…
Until you look a little deeper…

Mornin’ all…
Well, we still have the heat but the sun is not waving anymore… ha ha ha! It seems to be more stuffy and humid. But I’m not complaining because we like the warmth 
Didn’t help the Lions (British and Ireland rugby team) to win mind you but maybe next time…
Today I am just going to talk out loud and speak as ‘I’ find.
These are my opinions and may not be yours… but that’s OK too
I’ve had a wonderful, relaxing week and given myself time to think…
You see, I am not really interested in healing the world or my friends or my neighbours or my family.
To me, that is their job, their responsibility.
But I do believe that change the man and you change the world…
I do believe in that old saying, if you give a man a fish, you feed him once but teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.
So, if you want to change YOUR world then first you must create the change within YOU – and not in anyone else.
As you change, so the ripple effect will spread out and reflect back to you in all aspects of your life…
…and Reiki is a tool you can use to do this.
Reiki is not just a “healing modality to save the planet and all who sail on it”… it is a tool you can use to create all the changes you would like to see in YOUR world.
Yes, YOUR world – for there is no other world but yours’…

Good morning all…
Happy Summer Solstice
I hope you are all being positive and creative in your thoughts this weekend, given that it is such a powerful time of creation, just like Christmas
And, of course… Happy Father’s Day to all you Dads out there if you are celebrating this event in your part of the world
Now, I know we girls like a bit of chocolate but you lads do okay too…
…with, chocolate golf balls, chocolate cars and probably chocolate socks and hankies too… ha ha ha!
But a lot of what you fancy does you good, or is that supposed to be a little – hmmm, I honestly don’t remember – well when it comes to chocolate anyway
But, enough of that – here’s this week’s question…
Q…Greetings from New Zealand.
Today I was chatting to a Reiki practitioner and telling her of my plan to work with children.
By day I am a Steiner Kindergartener. Her response was interesting in that she thought the ‘reaction’ would be too powerful for children to be immersed in?
This is not my interpretation, but, as a novice I am keen to learn…

Good mornin’ all…
I was chatting with Chris the other day and he was talking about diseases and statistics etc… and it struck me that no-one dies of old age or natural causes any more.
Call me old fashioned but nowadays it seems you are not allowed to just die, you must die of ’something’.
If it is not an obvious cause, like being hit by a bus or rotting parts, then they love to cut you open to see if they can discover something, in fact anything… ha ha ha!!!
But you must conform, even in death, and you must have the proper label to tie on your big toe… ha ha ha!!!
Years ago I used to say that people died of old age because they didn’t visit a doctor, so no-one knew why Granny sat in the corner and never went out.
Ladies had ‘ladies problems’ that were unmentionable and so, of course, weren’t mentioned.
Gentlemen, ahem, likewise… ha ha ha!!!
Call me old fashioned but people appeared to pass with more dignity. It was simply time to die. Death was much more a natural occurrence, more a part of life.
Yes they had ’causes’ for their demise but they simply let things run their course, naturally.
It was a natural event that everyone shared.
Children and the dogs played outside. “Granny’s dying, keep the noise down”… ha ha ha!!!
But you and Granny accepted the next step, embraced it without fear and moved on.
I am sure some diseases are made-up nowadays just for the sake of something to write on your label (In fact I know they are, but that’s another story – maybe for another time)…

Mornin’ folks…
I’m feeling fabulous, chilled and refreshed after my short break
But what were you all up to last week?
You see, because as I was away and there wasn’t going to be a Sunday chat I thought it’d be a good idea to just drop you a quick line to let you know this.
But over 4,000 of you mistakenly thought the link in that email was for the Sunday Chat, clicked it – and promptly stopped themselves from receiving any future Sunday Chats as the link was actually an unsubscribe link 
Now the thing is, it seems that almost everyone who clicked this link immediately realised their mistake and wrote to say that they didn’t mean to do so – which means we’ve been absolutely swamped with emails…
…and haven’t been able to deal with all these requests in time.
So, here’s what we propose to do:
Our techie will re-subscribe you all through our mailing system control panel – but the bad news is, if you really did want to unsubscribe you will now be annoyed by receiving this email…

Good mornin’ all…
I have had to get up at 5am to write this – a bit extreme I know but then this whole week has been either one extreme or the other… ha ha ha!
…and life can often seem like that.
But on the inside, the trick is to stay calm and serene, even when all about you is in chaos.
Easier said than done, of course, but not if you use your Reiki to steady yourself
A daily self treatment will always bring you back to your centre. Then the gales of life may blow and the roof fall in and you will take it all in your stride.
Okay, the news you have all been waiting for
DC, our son, put in some extreme effort last Sunday and won the Burnmouth Brae, uphill sprint race… fantastic!
He broke his own personal best time, which won him the race last year, by 9 seconds and actually beat the course record by 5 seconds, which had stood for 6 years
That’s my boy!
The extreme effort of running up a steep gradient for 2 minutes 22 seconds caused his body to react in the extreme too.
But the rewards and accolades were extreme as well…
