- 15 Oct 2009 - Claire O'Shea
- As each master addresses the topic of initiation, there is a clear portrait of the experience, the individual's personality, and the elusive nature of our topic. Claire brings her logical practical mind as well as her intuitive self as she answers many of the questions that students have asked me over the years. It seems that these questions have a practical answer as well as the possibility that we are all fulfilling our destiny, forming an energetic network that has been in place lifetime... More
- 8 Oct 2009 - Kristin Bonney
- From childhood Kristin had a fascination with ancient Egypt and Greece. When she met Reiki, she felt that she had "come home' in more ways than one. Throughout her years in Reiki, Kristin has found the mystery of the initiations comforting and intriguing. It was a late night when we recorded the interview.....but the main issue was that we reached a point where there were no more words! Initiations lead us into the unknown parts of our lives and into the mystery of being human. More
- 1 Oct 2009 - Beatrice von Schlick
- Beatrice opens the element of Initiation. Often thought of as the most important of the elements, initiation is one of nine elements.
The initiation is an experience; the other elements assist the student in taking the next steps into the practice, using the experience of initiation as a stillpoint. Beatrice, from her passion of language, takes us on a journey into the meaning and the sense of initiation as it applies to our human life. As a marker of another stage of our human journey, i...

- The precept that was left to Gerri was Earn you living Honestly. As it turned out, this was the perfect one for her! Starting with an amazing story of her first Reiki treatment to her story of how the precept was demonstrated in her life. Gerri shared from her heart and her experience a choice betweeen: Working to live and Living to Work.

- 17 Sep 2009 - Donna Stetser
- Through a most spectacular thunder and lightening storm, Donna and I had a conversation about Honor, Gratitude, and Mystic Order! We started out with the precept, Honor your parents, teachers, and elders. As Donna spoke about her experiences and self awareness that were connected with the precept, it seemed evident that she was connected to the precept, Show gratitude to Every Living Thing.
Donna's journey from control, rigid thinking, and "safety at all costs" to her way of holding the... More
- 10 Sep 2009 - Fran Freeman
- Just for Today, Do not Anger. A precept that is often reworded and
reworked, Fran has taken a long and lightening journey with this
precept. Throughout her years of Reiki practice, Fran has learned
that the precepts, and this one included, stimulate insights and new
ways of being. Her other interests, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and
teaching special needs children, have had an influence in the way she has
worked with the precept. She shares these insights with us
as well as her pa... More
- 3 Sep 2009 - Winthrop Wiltshire
- Anatomy of Worry. There are nine elements that describe a system of practice, Usui Shiki Ryoho. One of these elements is Precepts. Today, Winthrop is focusing on "Just for Today, Do not Worry". Most of the time when one reads this for the first time, the first thought is "How is this possible?" Winthrop has a way of working with language, his scientific logic, and his feeling for the precept. He has gathered his inner forces and gives us a way to go deeply into our own anatomy of mind a...

- 27 Aug 2009 - Phil Morgan
- In this interview, I found that Phil had a close and kindly relationship to death from his early childhood as his father was a funeral director. Perhaps this familiarity has allowed him to take Reiki into this most private and compelling situation, a person's last days of life. Throughout his time as a Reiki student and master, he has found ways to accompany many people in these times, including his three life partners. At the age of 68, Phil has just supported the passing of Ellen, his last ... More
- 20 Aug 2009 - Kate Jones
- Having been on the show before when we were exploring public practice, Kate comes back with her own story of Reiki, quality of life, and amazing response! When I hear her story of a long time issue with menstrual period pain, I am amazed that she was able to do all the things she does in a day, in a week, and in a year. Now she has passed a mark of some kind where the pain and discomfort is gone. Freedom from pain has given her a new source of energy. Her story is one of opening to the divine... More
- 13 Aug 2009 - Collene Delaney
- Collene Delaney is back with the "end of her story" and a chance to share with you some of the deeper experiences of her experience with having been diagnosed with breast cancer. The odd thing is that soon after the last program, I was also diagnosed with having a tumor in my breast! It was a shock and it is also interesting to notice what comes up in people when the word cancer is mentioned. And what has come up in me! Interesting that this series, which will end next week, is about Health, ... More

- From the beginning of her time as a Reiki student in 1983, Collene has integrated her work in the medical center and university settings with her practice. She was one of the founders of the Reiki/AIDS project in Seattle. Then as her work with Reiki deepened she offered ways for others to grow and develop within. All of this came to a culmination in April of this year when she discovered a small cancer spot in her left breast. Always one for springing into action, she lost no time in finding ... More

A few years later he needed brain surgery. Determined to live life on his own and with a kind of dignity, he enlisted his mother in supporting his wish. Reiki has been a consistent support to both of them as they balance what may be easy with what contains an appropriate amount of independence for Jeff. As he comes to one hurdle after an... More

- In this new theme for our show, Gloria is a great inspiration! And she is not doing anything but being herself, on many levels. She accepts with gracefulness her life as it is and makes the most of it. There are many times when it would seem that giving up might be an option. Her option is Reiki and a way of holding each challenge as a gift. I enjoyed my time with Gloria and am inspired to receive, receive, receive. More
