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…

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!!!…

I saw three very pretty Christmas decorations this week and I succumbed to buying them… ha ha ha!
They’re little twinkly trees about 3 inches high that light up
And I had three from last year but now they can go to the charity/thrift shop for someone else to enjoy.
3 decorations and a big chicken, that’s Christmas sorted
Now, have you noticed how everything is in advance these days?
Christmas itself being a prime example!
Over here in the UK, and probably many other countries too, the build up began at the end of September.
The end of September!
No wonder it’s so hard to live in the moment.
Keeping your thoughts focused and the mind chatter to a minimum is hard enough as it is – let alone having to listen to ‘Jingle Bells’ for 3 months of every year
So, here’s a lovely way to start your day…
Start your day the Reiki way – by using the 12 hand positions as a self ‘treat’ment just for you…
A self ‘treat’ment which, when used on a regular basis, will help to keep you calm and serene all day long…

Well that’s it, winter is officially here! I have now changed to my winter black clothes The weather has that winter damp, cold feel to it and we have finally succumbed to putting the heating on once again.
But there is still the chance of some watery sunshine and even a pleasant walkabout in the countryside if the wind holds off
It’s funny how colour affects us all though isn’t it, for…
…I feel warmer already just wearing black – even though the weight of my clothes is the same as my ‘cool’ summer stuff.
Sometimes black is just so comforting and cosy… ha ha ha!
I feel the call of the sofa and an array of good movies, which is our usual winter hibernation mode
I feel the call of the south of France too… ha ha ha!!! Well we can all dream can’t we?
Now back to earth and a question…
