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…
This week saw my old school friend buried and even though we hadn’t spoken for years it seems sad for someone so young to go.
When someone you know so intimately dies, a little of you dies too…
…they take with them memories that only you and they shared at the time.
The mischief and mayhem that Andy and I got up to as teenagers will soon be long forgotten – with only me left to smile at the memories… ha ha ha!!!
We had some good times!!! – There are no accidents and life goes on for living 
But with that in mind I thought this an appropriate question to answer…
Q… Can Reiki be used to cope with grief?
It’s been almost 3 months since my hubby passed away, and I am getting worse with time.
And my answer…
A… Yes, Reiki is excellent for grief. It allows you to love and care for yourself and give you some clarity for the future…
But…
It is probably best if you go to a practitioner for a few treatments to start with, especially if you feel so down at the moment.
For it can be hard to ‘do for ourselves’ at such times.
Anything ‘touching’ would also be good for you…

Mornin’ all…
Hope you all had a lucky Friday the 13th… ours was okay, but…
Bloomin’ heck it’s been chilly this week, with a lovely hint of damp cold thrown in too, the sort that chills your bones, right down to the very marrow 
Which, I would think, must leave all of you ‘down under’ smiling broadly in the nice spring warmth
But, so far, up here in the far north east of the country we have fared much better than those down south, with the weather, so it’s not been too bad really.
And it’s given us the chance to have a jolly good go at clearing up the leaves in the back garden so now, at least, you can see the lawn is still green.
Now, tidying up and clearing out, sorting and organising, is the theme that prevails this week.
As everything seems such a jumble.
My thoughts are a jumble too – with a bit of this and a bit of that…
And at this time of the year, with nature dying back and resting, with the animals settling in for winter weather, it is good to take stock of all you do have.
To be appreciative too…
Ask what it is you really need? How much do you really need? What is it you really want?
It’s time to get things sorted and organised now before your winter arrives…
Literally and symbolically!
Don’t let your fire of enthusiasm wane, it is NEVER TOO LATE!
Gather all that is necessary for your journey ahead. Plan and gather all the information you need…

Today in the UK it is Remembrance Sunday.
At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we remember in silence.
Silence… that heavenly Peace…
If only we did it more often. No arguaments, no angry words, no religious differences, no disagreements, nothing to go to war about!
Silence… that heavenly Peace…
How often do we say that? When the kids stop fighting, when the music stops blaring, when we reach the quiet of our car after a trip to the shops…

Hi everyone…
Happy Halloween or All Saints/Souls Day
Nothing like a bit of Parkin (sticky treacle cake, famous in Yorkshire) and a nice cup of tea to keep the spirits up…
Because, what seems like suddenly, we have dark evenings again, well, dark afternoons if we’re being pedantic
…and all you want to do is close the curtains and wait until spring comes round again… ha ha ha!!!
But in this withdrawal and hibernation mode we go into, (well I certainly do!)…
…it is also a great time to go inwards, literally, too.
We can see what rubbish we have accumulated over the year and have a good sort through. And a good way to do that, of course, is to use your Reiki energy everyday on yourself.
Start of by doing the 12 hand positions for 3-5mins in each position.
Then when you begin to really know your Reiki, you can sit with one hand on your heart and one on your solar plexus and recharge your batteries and release stress, at a moment’s notice.
Even doing the hand positions for one minute in each, will make a huge difference to your day.
Just keep life simple
OK, let’s have a question…
Q… I have a silly question for you… how many times do we have to attune ourselves before we can go on. We have just kinda stopped for a few days and didn’t know if we should go on or what. I hope that you don’t think I’m stupid I just didn’t know.
And my answer…

Mornin’ all
This week has been a week of challenges… to say the least…ha ha ha!!!
But we had to ask ourselves ‘why’ we were bringing these challenging experiences to ourselves. And the conclusion we came to, was that it is time to stand up for ourselves!!!
You see, most people see Reiki as a ‘hands on healing therapy’ done by very nice people Some might even call the Reiki therapist a healer
And healers by nature are touchy-feely people We love to rub it better, like Mum used to do.
We love to hug you better and keep you safe, like Mum used to do.
We love, protect and care for you when you are at your most vulnerable…
When you’re weak and sick, either emotionally or physically.
BUT… in steps big brother and now you have to have certificates galore to prove you are a healer.
In fact, in some places, YOU cannot even say you are a healing sort of a person.
You have to become a Reverend, in America, to be allowed to touch someone…
…which, to me, is very strange as it’s tantamount to saying it’s okay to become a fake minister and touch people but YOU cannot touch another human being, with compassion, without a stranger’s permission!!!…
