Since deep meditation and some breathing techniques can activate the pineal gland, leading to enlightening experiences, I wondered whether Reiki was also inducing a similar effect, given the vivid visions, colours and fractal patterns Reiki practitioners and Reiki clients can sometimes see. I posed the question to ChatGPT (AI) and to my surprise, it started asking ME questions about Reiki! The conversation was so fascinating that I had to share it with you today…

I previously shared about the four main psychic abilities - ‘Claires’. This time, I want to explore the four lesser-known Claires to see if they resonate with you

As we deepen our spiritual journeys, many of us begin to notice intuitive gifts unfolding within us. These gifts, often referred to as the "Claires," represent different ways we receive intuitive or psychic information. Understanding them can help us embrace and strengthen our unique abilities and, if we are in a healing field such a Reiki Healing, it can offer a richer experience to those we are working with.

Here’s a closer look at four of the most commonly experienced ‘Claires’:

To continue our exploration of Reiki symbol kotodama (spirit word), today, I’ll be sharing about the 3rd Reiki symbol - HON SHA ZE SHO NEN, known as the connection / oneness symbol.  

This question challenges many of us when we first learn an energy modality, but it seems to be more common with Reiki healers in particular.

Some believe that energy work is a gift shown to you only so you can help others and they feel charging somehow taints that gift and activates the ego.

I want to share my feelings on this to offer another perspective for consideration.

Reiki is an energy healing system used to work with the body in order to bring about healing and relief. As the energy of Reiki resonates at the same frequency as love and gratitude, we can use it to positively affect many other areas of our lives, beyond healing others.

In all my years of teaching I can honestly say that I have never met a student who can’t do Reiki. However, on odd occasions, a student will share that they can’t feel Reiki as powerfully as they used to or as strongly as they felt in class. In my experience, there are several reasons why this might happen so I will explore a few of these reasons below:

If you are a healer or if you want to activate your 3rd eye and connect more strongly to your intuition / psychic abilities, then it’s important to set some spiritual boundaries. Learn how…

I've just returned from facilitating the Reiki Master Course Retreat in Seaford with such a joyful heart. There's always a common theme for each group which usually becomes apparent during the sharing of our personal journeys on Day 1.

Chakra means wheel and refers to a vortex of three-dimensional energy that governs certain emotions and the organs / glands residing within that chakra. The sacral chakra sits at our lower abdomen, below the navel. It resonates with the water element and is said to be orange in colour

Two years ago my lovely neighbour of 15 years had her first reiki healing session with me. When I asked Anita why she had waited so long, she said she was worried because if I wasn't very good, she would be so embarrassed!

One of my lovely newly qualified Reiki 1 students sent me a link to a YouTube video of a woman asking spiritual teacher, Sadhguru how she can protect herself from taking on the karma of others when giving a reiki treatment. Sadhguru proceeded to express his dislike of any energy work as he felt it was wrong to 'mess' with someone's energy. He also went on to say that it was very ego-centric as the person is acting as if they are God.
