A Dog’s (Reiki) Life
Reiki (0)
Dona M. Duke is a Usui Reiki Master-Teacher in Ann Arbor, Michigan, who divides her time between private practice, clinical work, and pets. Dona shared an inspiring Reiki story with me, and I asked her to share it with you. REIKI AND THE WHIPPETS by Dona M. Duke A huge raid brought TV crews to our shelter. Forty-eight Whippets were recovered from a hoarder-breeder-puppy mill. The dogs were isolated in a large conference room, and the task of medical, physical, and temperament assessments began. Only a few staff members and volunteers were allowed in the confined area. The dogs had had minimal human contact, and no veterinary ...

Medical Reiki Wishlist
Reiki (0)
The process of putting together a new presentation is an invigorating time. Even when it’s material I’ve presented many times, new insights arrive each time I revisit it, both a deeper understanding of the material itself, and also new ideas of how to serve it up in the most delicious way. If it’s not appetizing, who is going to bother digesting it? Then it occurred to me–why not ask the experts themselves–you!You’re the expert on what you need to know to collaborate more effectively in health care. Please tell me in the comment section below. Who knows better than you do what ...

Reiki and Dementia
Reiki (0)
Anita Graham is a Reiki master near Seattle who took my 2-day Medical Reiki seminar in March 2008. “The seminar gave me invaluable practice in how to talk about Reiki in a simple and objective way, and be true to my personal experience,” Anita said. “When I took that confidence and clarity into hospice and a surgery unit, Reiki and I were welcomed by staff. The nurses handed me a list of surgery patients when I arrived on the unit, and hospice staff actively look to refer families for Reiki treatment. I have also found that family members more frequently ...

Reiki Self-Treatment Poll
Reiki (0)
Mark Twain famously said there are liars, damn liars, and statistics. Last week’s poll illustrated his point. PollDaddy lists the number of votes rather than the number of voters. Many readers didn’t notice this detail, and some expressed dismay at what seemed to be a low percentage of practitioners giving themselves daily Reiki treatments. But the stats were meaningless. Which brings us to Round Two. How many Reiki practitioners give themselves daily treatment? Let’s find out. Please respond to this very short poll and share it widely. All practitioners from all lineages, at any level of practice are asked to vote. Can we collectively ...

Public Reiki Events
Reiki (0)
“The Reiki room was pure magic….as usual. “I know you know this, but I just have to remind you that every year, the Reiki practitioners touch so many lives. “I asked both groups (120 women) how many had never had Reiki and the majority of hands went up. You are truly doing a HUGE service to these women by introducing them to this amazing healing. I can’t believe that even after all this time and exposure, Reiki is still relatively unknown to these women challenged by cancer.” Public Reiki events create community and build public awareness of Reiki. These quotes are from the organizer ...

Reiki Healing Is for Everyone, So Let’s Speak to Everyone
Reiki (0)
Do you wonder why some people hop aboard when you speak about Reiki, while others vacate the premises? Try listening to yourself. Go to a blank screen and write your usual Reiki spiel, whatever you say when someone asks, “What is Reiki?” Speak it aloud and jot down notes–this is not a writing assignment (yet). Don’t try to make it perfect, just get a snapshot of what you usually say. (Three minute pause.) Now pick up the closest magazine or newspaper, turn to your favorite blog or online news source, or turn the TV on to a talk show or the news. How does ...

Manhattan Reiki
Reiki (0)
I live in New York City. I live here with 8+ million people. That’s not counting the millions who visit. So it sometimes happens that a few other people are strolling the sidewalk or the subway steps just as I am purposefully heading somewhere, no time to spare. My path totally impeded, the phrase arises: “Today only.” The crowd settles me. Today only. Right now. This moment is mine to savor. How are the Reiki Precepts supporting your well-being these days? Please comment below. Related posts: Today Only, Practice Makes Present

A Feel for Reiki Healing
Reiki (0)
As simple as Reiki practice is, it takes time to develop a feel for the practice, a deep understanding of it (as distinct from a definition). As with any practice, the only way to develop a feel for it is to actually practice, and to do so consistently over a period of time. There is no shortcut. Reiki classes really only teach us how to practice. It is through practice, and practice alone, that Reiki practitioners develop. The experience of practicing Reiki treatment on others–on people of different ages, in varying stages of health, in a range of settings–is greatly enhanced when ...
