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…
It was St. George’s Day on Friday who, if you can’t recall, is the patron saint of England 
Now, if St. Patrick likes a drop of Guinness, I think perhaps the refined palate of an Englishman might like a nice cup of Earl Grey with a slice chocolate cake too, of course… ha ha ha!
Oh, we are so quintessentially English at heart
But Chris is a Chinese Dragon, so he is keeping his head down today… ha ha ha!!!
Ok, a question…
Q… Very interesting approach HOWEVER, as a Buddhist practitioner my question is… if I didn’t reach satory yet, how does all this work?
And my answer…

Mornin’ all…
No more excuses for chocolate and days off for a while but it will soon be the Queen’s birthday.
So we’ll have to use that for the next reason to celebrate with chocolate… ha ha ha!
But, patience is a virtue and good for my diet
And waiting for Spring requires patience too and this year she is unfolding with a beautiful grace…
…the leaves on the trees and hedgerows are almost out and there is a tantalising sprinkle of green peeping out from everywhere…
…but patience – it will happen
In the meantime, we’ll enjoy all the daffodils
Now, talking of patience, people still surprise me…
Okay, so most of you will know by now that I am not at all computery.
Yes, we do our very best to be up to date with all the latest do-dads, to make your experience of taking an online Reiki course as smooth and easy as possible.
But it is all a very steep learning curve for us too
Reiki is the easy part… ha ha ha!
So, it surprises me that people who have been reading my weekly, Sunday chat for years, suddenly decide to buy something, and then because of a temporary glitch in our ‘automatic’ computer software, they think we must be cheating them and running off with their money!
It doesn’t seem to matter we’ve been online 9 years…
…so where they think we are running off to, I simply don’t know… ha ha ha!
But it’s all to do with TRUST. Not trusting me or anyone else, but TRUSTING yourself …

Good mornin’ all…
I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. The weather has been mild and kind this week. Perfect for strolling about
Yesterday was my birthday, (56yrs in case you were wondering!), so today I am having a day off
As you read this, I will be being pampered and fussed and brought chocolate on a silver tray… ha ha ha!
Please join in my birthday pampering by indulging in some chocolate yourselves
Monday it will be back on the diet and the devilish ol’ treadmill…

Good mornin’ all…
Back to the winter weather again this week. Just when I was thinking of coming out of my black clothes too 
Still, a wet Easter is usually a sign of a long dry summer… purrfick
I can’t think of a better excuse than Easter to eat chocolate, so let’s all celebrate in unison… ha ha ha!
Thanks to so many of you, for sending me lovely words of support about Mr Po, our cat, and his passing. It has been a wonderful, if sometimes tearful, experience.
But Mr Po has made his transition from here to there and is now happily ensconced in my whole being. I feel much more relaxed and content with the world
I recorded him purring and that has helped tremendously. I finish my morning meditation with a lovely purring session
It’s as if he is right there, reassuring me whenever I need it
Don’t know how that would work with a dog barking or a donkey braying though…ha ha ha!
OK… let’s be havin’ a few questions…

Good mornin’ all…
Spring forward! I hope all those of you in the UK remembered to change your clocks, for today is the beginning of British Summer Time… yippee!
I do so love the lighter evenings
Thank you for all the emails of support and love regarding our very own, lucky black cat, Mr Po.
He quietly and happily slipped away on Friday morning…
And his spirit is now able to chase the birds up in their trees
We are celebrating his life with us by eating some chocolate mice
I think he would approve
Now, while I can still manage to talk without crying, I had better do a question…
The question…
Q… How can one use the Reiki symbols for overall well-being for the body, mind and soul and a person’s environment?
And my answer…
