I have a lot of animal friends—some are human and some are not.
Within the Reiki community we talk a lot about healing ourselves, and supporting the healing of others. There is another area of healing that I would like to discuss, and specifically in relation to non-human animals: how animals support our healing.
“The real secret of the system of Reiki is not the attunement or the symbols and mantras but your personal practice of the 5 elements of the system. These 5 elements are meditating on the precepts, meditating on the symbols/mantras, practicing the meditation techniques like hatsurei ho, performing the attunement and hands-on healing on yourself in a state of meditation.” Read more Reiki Quotes by Frans Stiene…
Here I was, driving along the freeway, listening to uplifting music, and minding my own business, when all of a sudden I looked outside at the rolling hillsides and the entire scene just POPPED.

Great to see all your different ideas and comments on our last blog, A question for you about Reiki Treatments, where we posted a question about two different types of hands-on healing sessions.

Below are presented two hands on healing sessions. Which one do you think will be the most profound one and why?
Judith Pennington tests Frans Stiene’s brainwaves while working with the system of Reiki. See what the EEG machine can pick up about Frans’ personal practice, his life and his work as a Reiki Teacher.
Without providing too many spoilers - one thing we can tell you is that she said she’s never seen brainwaves like his before and she has worked with many energetic practitioners including those who work with the system of Reiki.
Last week’s article Distance Healing Symbol? looked at the historical background of the so called “distance healing symbol”. For people who are interested in the historical background of Japanese spiritual practices you might also want to read this article which includes an interview with author Serge Mol about his recently published book “Invisible Armor”.
Within Okuden level II you will study something that many know as the “distance healing” symbol. This is a modern, rather than Japanese, interpretation of a practise which we shall call HSZSN. But how was HSZSN used in Mikao Usui’s time, and where did this symbol come from?
