The sciences of Acupuncture and Acupressure are so closely related that I am discussing them as one (although I realize there are some notable differences). For simplicity’s sake, in this treatise I am just referring to Acupressure as Acupuncture without the needles (see, I told you it was simple). The main principle behind Acupuncture [...]

Here is another healing modality that is greatly enhanced by Reiki (and vice versa). Reflexology (aka Zone Thereapy) is basically a simplified form of acupressure for the feet, (but can also be applied to the hands and ears as well) and in case you haven’t tried it, Reflexology is almost as simple to do as [...]

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is the brainchild of Gary Craig and I highly recommend it to Reiki enthusiasts everywhere as being another one of the many healing modalities that fits Reiki like a glove. Described as an emotional version of acupuncture, EFT is based on the premise that “The cause of all negative emotions is [...]

If you asked me about the differences between traditional Japanese Reiki (what I’m calling Eastern Reiki) and that studied in other countries (what I’m calling Western Reiki) when I first started to study Reiki here in Japan (about 10 years ago) I would have said the differences were night and day.

In a nutshell (although a highly contentious one) it is my belief that Reiki is in no way, shape or form a religion. It is either a spiritual path or a healing practice (depending on how traditional you want to be) but there is absolutely nothing religious about it and because of this quality it [...]

I have been asked many times about the relationship between Reiki and Kids and as in many of the cases previously discussed I believe this to be another match made in heaven. One of the obstacles to performing Reiki that many practitioners encounter is that they think too much. Kids do not have this same [...]

Along with Aromatherapy the use of Reiki with Crystals is a bit more advanced in nature, but not so much so that any Reiki practitioner can’t do it quite easily. Crystals have the ability to hold Reiki energy for vast amounts of time and remain extremely effective with very little care. All you have [...]

  Since Reiki and Qi Gong are both healing arts (in their broadest forms) there is an inherent connection In this post I would like to take a look at some of the simpler aspects of that connection and see exactly where the two disciplines connect/disconnect. First I’d like to clarify exactly what we are talking [...]

Reiki & Aromatherapy are (in more ways than one) a match made in heaven. And off of the top of my head I can easily think of several applications where one can enhance the other so well, that it would be a shame to perform one without performing the other… because in its most [...]
