- 7 Feb 2008 - Rick Bockner
- The first time I met Rick was when he came to see Hawayo Takata in a house in the woods of British Columbia, Canada. He wanted to take First Degree, which he did with a friend of his who accompanied him. They are both superb guitarists and played together.....putting my grandmother to sleep each night as I gave her a Reiki treatment. He has since been initiated as a master by Hawayo Takata, raised two daughters, and emerged into the global community at a time when his simple, appreciation for... More
- 31 Jan 2008 - Lynette Kirkman

Ten years ago her personal Reiki practice led... More
- 24 Jan 2008 - Brigitte Mueller
- Brigitte's story is one of "magical circumstance" or "there are no accidents!" She was ready to receive Reiki when she met, by chance, Mary Mc Fayden, in California shortly after Mary received her mastership from Hawayo Takata. Brigitte went home to Frankfurt, Germany, and began her long and dedicated practice. Reiki had come to Germany! Brigitte began her practice by treating herself and others, inviting Mary to come and teach, organizing the classes and serving as her Interpreter. In two ye... More
- 17 Jan 2008 - Lucia Maria De La Luz Diaz Fernandez
- A German man took one of the first classes that Brigitte Mueller organized for Mary McFayden. His name was Saman Jürgen Drescher. After becoming a master himself, he was lead to Chile and Luz was in his class! One of the marvelous things to observe is the flow that has guided the practice of Reiki around the world. One of many dedicated students from these early days of Reiki in Chile, Luz has taught in many of the Latin American countries and will share with us her impressions of Reiki, the diffe... More
- 10 Jan 2008 - Inger Droog
- Inger Droog was initiated as a Reiki master by Wanja Twan. She traveled directly to the Netherlands to bring the practice to her home country in 1984. She was asked to come to Belgium in 1985. During this time, Reiki was virtually unknown in Europe and barely known in the United States and Canada. The years have gone by, and as with all of the long time student of Reiki, Inger has been through many phases of her practice and her understanding of "what is Reiki?" Join us for an in depth conver... More
- 3 Jan 2008 - Phyllis Furumoto
- Phyllis will be speaking about her "New Year's Resolutions" and her theme for the year of 2008, the year of the Rat! (The Chinese New Year is February 2, 2008!) The year of the Rat is also associated with the element of Earth, the qualities of diligence, renewal, and persistent forward motion. This is also in numerology a "10" year which is also a "1" year....and therefore a year of Beginnings. I am going to have several guests from around the world call in to talk for a few minutes about the... More

Not to mention the practical everyday miracles that abound in a Reiki Way of Life. More
- 20 Dec 2007 - Elsa and Elina van der Heijden
- Elsa, Wim, and Elina van der Heijden are all Reiki Masters, expressing their practice in their own way and having come to mastery in their own path. It seems that their separate but connected paths in their lives and in Reiki are expressed over and over in this interview as "just normal." For many people in the world, being on the path of Reiki is unusual. Being a Reiki Master is a step that is unusual. And having three people in a family of four seems unusual, but not for these three! Each o... More
- 13 Dec 2007 - Valerie Beaumont
- I met Valerie at the UK Association gathering in October. The instant I met her I wanted to interview her! Her response was "I don't know if I have anything to say!" The stories that she shared during the interview touches a deep core of our humanity. And these situations often raise the question, "What is the right thing to do?" She has made decisions that are courageous and in surrender to the practice of Reiki. Join us and be inspired by her trust and common sense. More
- 6 Dec 2007 - Peter Coates and Heather Buglear
- Heather and Peter met while sharing Reiki in their local share group, as they say in the UK! They have gone on to use Reiki extensively in their lives privately and in their business. Peter was inspired one day reading a magazine in the States, while waiting for Heather who was in training for mastership! Peter never went on this path (yet) but has expressed his mastership in the way he has realized his dream of serving others through the media of the internet. The combination of skill, human... More

- 22 Nov 2007 - Gordon Melvin
- In my search for interesting Reiki Stories, I have found Gordon Melvin while I was traveling in the UK! His beginnings with Reiki were challenging and gave him a chance to experience following a calling to Reiki, the energy that intrigued him. This is a theme in his life as he followed a calling to become a priest of the Church of England, then to serve as a hospital chaplain, and now in a transition period to teaching the Enneagram, treating people with Reiki, and seeing them in Life Coachin...

- 15 Nov 2007 - Juergen Kindler
- In most of my interviews, I am careful not to have the names of Masters and the form of a Reiki system mentioned. I trust that it allows the speakers to be "Reiki" without the differences of practice or philosophy to be in the way of the listener. In this case, I allowed Juergen to speak of our relationship and his practice. His ecumenical nature, from the very beginning of our conversations 20 years ago, greatly supported my desire to be the same. Juergen has been a steady influence in the G... More
- 8 Nov 2007 - Martin Ouwerkerk
- This discussion of What is Reiki? and What happens during an initiation? Is a mind tingler! Martin's language and approach to Reiki shows his perspective of being a Chemist and a researcher. My mind was stimulated as my experiences were spoken through an entirely different language. I was excited for days after the interview! Join us as I try to keep up with Martin, his theories of Reiki, and his nimble mind! Remember that we all have theories! And these are a great place to start exploring t... More
- 1 Nov 2007 - Jolanda van Herk
- Jolanda has followed her Reiki path and it lead her to working in the field of Public Integration of Complementary and Alternative Therapies in the Netherlands. Trying to interface between the Medical community and the CAT community was stimulating and sometimes frustrating. She has come out of this experience with great clarity about public practice for Reiki practitioners, what is needed in the Netherlands, and what is a good course of action for any group of Reiki students wishing to take ...

- 25 Oct 2007 - Francis Ecury Saponara
- Francis and I met in a cafe near the Hook of Holland ferry terminal for the interview. Interestingly enough, when we were first in the cafe only a couple of other people were there. Then as the hour went by, more and more people came in until I didn't know whether this would actually work. The topic of our chat encompassed healing and curing, surrender and trust, and a Reiki way of lIfe. Join us for an intimate chat. More

- Phyllis is on the road, traveling in Great Britain now. She is going to be live this afternoon to update the listeners with the themes of the show, the description of Public and Professional practice, and to take any questions that listeners have on any reiki related topic! More
- 11 Oct 2007 - Marta Getty
- Marta Getty was one of the first masters initiated after Hawayo Takata's death in 1980. She had the chance in her early years of teaching to go to Australia. She and Beth Gray, a master initiated by Hawayo Takata, landed in Australia within months of each other. Marta has continued going back to Australia over the years renewing her love of the land. Reiki has blossomed there as in all parts of the world. A warm feeling of gratitude for these two masters who traveled to a far away land and fo... More
- 4 Oct 2007 - Joyce Winough
- Joyce was looking for a sail boat and found Reiki! When she met Reiki in Honolulu, the presence of Hawayo Takata was still there in her students and the practice of Reiki that spread throughout the islands from the 40 years of her practice. Joyce's experience of meeting some of her students as many of the island students do, inspired her to live Reiki in an everyday way. Then she had an opportunity to have a special focus of Reiki Treatments on Molokai with the community of people who have Ha... More
- 27 Sep 2007 - Kate Jones
- Kate Jones has been involved in The Reiki Association of the UK since its beginning and has been involved in the RRWG (Reiki Regulatory Working Group) for the last few years. 20 years ago I was asked by teacher in a spiritual healer's program in London if I were teaching Reiki and expecting the students to go into the public and "heal?" My response was "No, that what I taught was first and foremost a personal healing process that could be applied to others also." Over the next weeks there wil... More
