We saw this beautiful video this morning at elephantjournal.com and it got us thinking about our Sequoia Reiki Retreat that is coming up in the USA in just two weeks time.
Those amazing trees! In fact, amazing trees full stop.

The traditional Japanese system of Reiki uses several symbols and mantras in its teachings and ongoing practices. These symbols and mantras are tools that help you deepen your understanding of and directly experience your true nature.
A direct translation of the word Reiki means Spiritual Energy. Do you think that Reiki is the same or different to Ki, Qi, Prana or rLung?
As discussed in a previous article, The System of Reiki is a Spiritual Practice, the system helps you to rediscover your true nature. Your practice is facilitated (or hindered) by the state of your energy system. In fact, in most traditional spiritual practices, deep awareness of your energy system is synonymous with enlightenment and evolution from an ordinary human being into a yogi, buddha, or immortal one.
However, there is much confusion about this matter. There are many different energy systems competing for your attention — hara, tanden, chakras, etc.
