"Let Reiki be the teacher. Reiki gives us health, happiness, and long life." These are the words from Hawayo Takata. In August 2009, Phyllis found that she had a tumor in her breast that was cancer. This started a long process of treatment both on a physical level and also on the emotional level. There were many issues around caring for herself and having the courage to make difficult decisions that supported this care. In March 2013, Phyllis found that the cancer has reappeared in her...

Frank Coppieters
Frank's story is a lovely voice from the past when it seemed that we knew everyone and we were community. Now the Reiki community is more expressed as a virtual one. Frank's legacy to his students is his value of community and his love for the members of this community. His integration of Reiki practice into his life, his growing into his shamanistic practice, and his personal partnership come through him as his expression of mastery. Teaching in both the Portland Oregon area and in Belgiu... More

Robert Fueston
Robert's story starts out with all the elements of "coincidence that are really daily miracles." A series of these coupled with his desire to find out how Hawayo Takata taught Reiki set Robert on a path of mastery. His willingness to seek the "answer" gave him the opportunity to meet the elders of the Reiki community and to learn the essential lessons of Reiki. His story is the story of the relationship between essence and form……and the rewards of consistency and diligence. More

Jojan Jonker
Jojan is a continued presence on the show. As listeners you can follow his path through researching the mystic experiences of fellow masters and now a paper on "three eras of Reiki practice;" the founding era beginning with Mikao Usui, the era of Reiki coming to Hawaii and then the mainland of the USA, and the present era of globalization. Where do these research papers take us as students? What is their value? Need we change our practice because of these? The outcome of the study may g... More

Research is happening everywhere these days. Martin has been involved with research through a multi-national company.

Food …. Glorious Food! The energy of our bodies receives nourishment from food. If our food is filled with energy, if our food matches what our bodies are able to digest, then we will build our foundation of health. Through her finding out that her body was not able to digest wheat which contains gluten, Claudia found a path to Health, Happiness, and Long Life… which is the phrase that Hawayo Takata used when talking about Reiki to students. The moment of vulnerability that our bodies bri... More

Ciro Perrino
A miracle has happened! Through Facebook I met Ciro Perrino and was instantly intrigued by his being a composer and being a Reiki Master. Ciro's insights and connection to Music and Reiki touched me deeply. … Like a new instrument I had not heard playing Reiki! There are few words right now to describe the interview. Perhaps this is an experience of what he has within…a miracle of bringing into hearing something that exists but is not heard until he becomes the channel. At the end of the i... More

Phyllis shares her thoughts about the "end of the world" and the gifts that Reiki brings to us in the practice and in the experience of practicing. The second half of the program is the New Year's Meditation. The music is from Deuter's Koyasan CD. The studies of DNA brings to us clearly that we are one, not only in essence but in the very being of our human bodies. The tension between form and essence is a creative force that can bring us to a new consciousness. More
