- 14 May 2009 - Regina O'Mahony
- When I first met Regina, some 15 years ago, she was a very busy Reiki Practitioner in Ireland and a great advocate of the development of a training program for Reiki practitioners.

- My parents first became interested in energy work when they were trying to help me heal from a bone cyst. They discovered Reiki! After my arm had healed, they were initiation in the 80's.

- 26 Mar 2009 - Mara Mitchell
- In this interview, Mara gives us thought-provoking moments as she describes her early life in northern Idaho. Her parents were both reiki masters, dedicated to a practice that seemed out of the ordinary (to say the least) in the small Idaho community where they settled in 1980. Throughout Mara's life, she has made decisions that bring her clarity about her boundaries as a human being, as a daughter, and as a reiki student. Now, at the age of 25, she is drawn to start her own public reiki prac... More

So at an early age, for most of us, Anneli practiced ... More

What is the contribution of Reiki to the world that we live? What lies ahead for us.....as a society? Are we moving into a world community and what could be the contributions that Reiki has to offer? Or what are the contributions that Reiki is giving to this community? Phyllis will summarize the last inte... More
