Reiki Evolution 2012 National Gathering is starting to book up!
Hi Guys,
The Reiki Evolution 2012 National Gathering will be held on Saturday October 6th in Central London, and it’s starting to book up! We have received 85 confirmed bookings so far, only a week after the 2011 Gathering, so if you’d like to attend, may I suggest that you reserve your place sooner rather than later!
We had a great time at the 2011 Gathering and I’m already excited, planning what we can do at a bigger venue next year. More talks, more workshops, time to chat and make new friends, energy work, and most probably more chanting! There… Continue reading
Attunements, empowerments & contact lenses!
The 10 Rules of Reiki
In this article I thought I would set down ten things that you can do – ten principles to take account of – to benefit your practice of Reiki. This is not something that has come from Japan, or from early practitioners of Reiki: it is just something that I have put together myself. I hope that this article will be of interest to people at all Reiki levels.
(1) Reiki is all about you
Although Reiki is sometimes presented in the West as a sort of complementary therapy, a hands-on treatment technique, or a form of Japanese spiritual healing,… Continue reading
What if I get it wrong?
When we go on a Reiki course, whether at First Degree, Second Degree or Master Teacher level, we are given instructions telling us how to carry out various tasks, and if we are conscientious then we will try our best to follow those instructions to make sure that we are ‘doing it properly’. So whether we are treating ourselves, giving someone else a Reiki treatment, or performing an attunement on a student, we hope to achieve the desired results by doing it right, by following the instructions to the letter, and if it appears to us that the desired results… Continue reading
How to send Distant Healing (Part 3)
Reiki distant healing with a bit more ritual attached to it
Distant healing is a very important part of Reiki practice, of course, and is something that is not unique to Reiki. Distant healing (DH for short) is carried out in different Reiki lineages in different ways and there is no one ‘right’ way to perform this process.
How to do distance healing with Reiki
The important thing when carrying out DH is your underlying intent, and the details of the ritual that you use are unimportant. What I would like to share with you today is a more complex… Continue reading
Sending distant healing – do I need permission?
Unethical to send distant healing?
Some people are of the opinion that it is totally unethical to send distant Reiki to a person if they have not given their permission first.
They see it as a gross intrusion, interference, a violation of that person’s personal space, a violation of their energy field. I do not agree with this point of view and I see no problem in sending Reiki to whoever you want.
Here are my reasons…
Reiki is a beautiful healing energy that will not cause anyone any harm, and any Reiki sent is dedicated to the ‘highest good’… Continue reading

Is that what we think Reiki Mastery is all about? Is it a title that you earn by flipping a switch, paying by PayPal, going on a course for a couple of days and there you have it – you’re a MASTER.
Nothing more to do. Continue reading
HSZSN but not as you’ve seen it before!
HSZSN is the acronym used to refer to the ‘distant healing symbol’, familiar in its various guises to anyone who has attended a Second Degree Reiki course.
It’s the trickiest of the symbols to get to grips with and usually has 20+ strokes or hand movements to draw it out.
HSZSN actually consists of five separate Japanese kanji which have all been overlapped and merged to produce one ‘composite’ kanji, which we see on courses.
In this blog I have posted an image of what these five separate kanji look like. The calligraphy was kindly brushed for me by the… Continue reading
Do attunements actually work?
A bit of a cheeky question!
I thought this title might attract some attention!
There are some silly people in the world of Reiki who are squitting about Reiju empowerments and suggesting that they don’t do anything, so I thought I would turn the tables slightly by posing the question, “what do attunements do, anyway?”
The received wisdom that comes through the general Western approach to Reiki is that attunements “attune” you, in that they connect you to an energy source that you weren’t connected to before, opening you up to something that wasn’t part of your world before the… Continue reading
Can you do distant healing at Reiki First Degree?
An unnecessary piece of dogma
It is taught commonly on Reiki courses that you aren’t able to do distant healing at First Degree and that you can only send distant healing once you’ve been ‘attuned’ to the distant healing symbol.
I don’t agree with that and think it’s unnecessarily dogmatic and limiting… and makes no sense!
Firstly, distant healing isn’t something that is unique to Reiki: many spiritual healers practise this. So we have a group of people who haven’t been attuned to Reiki at all, they haven’t been ‘attuned’ to anything in a Reiki sense, and they can send… Continue reading
You can feel yourself getting sleepy…
…or how the use of hypnotic techniques and trance states with Reiki can do quite amazing things for people.
Through experimentation – and I would like to thank the hundred or so Reiki people who volunteered to be my guinea pigs when I trialled my first three “Reiki Hypno meditations” – I discovered that using a combination of a Reiki-style meditation with gentle suggestion patterns had a tremendous effect on people in just a few weeks of listening to a 10 minute audio track most days.
As well as being a Reiki teacher I am also a qualified… Continue reading
Reiki Evolution teacher get-together
On June 1st we held our first get-together of Reiki Evolution Reiki Master Teachers, in central London. About half of the team were able to meet and it was a real pleasure to spend time with a group of such lovely, talented, positive, creative RMTs. I feel really honoured to have these people as part of my team. The room fairly crackled with energy as we did a Reiki circle, chanted the kotodama and gave each other empowerments, and it was great to chat, share ideas and experiences, to get to know each other and to plan how we are… Continue reading
