I often get this question when teaching Reiki courses, as participants start to understand the many ways Reiki could help them and those around them, it gets them thinking about the pets in their lives and they start to consider if there is a place for Reiki with their pets, or are thinking of working with animals. In this article I give you my thoughts on this.

This is an interesting topic to me with Reiki. I write this article with an interest in the environment. I’m writing from my observations over the years mainly from teaching Reiki.

Many women at all stages of pregnancy have reported the benefits of having Reiki treatments during pregnancy. The short answer to the question: ‘Is Reiki safe during pregnancy’ is; that hands-on Reiki is safe during pregnancy.

In this article, I want to explore the question: Can Reiki help with anxiety? It is common for people to come to Reiki looking for support and wish to see reductions in anxiety levels. Many people who approach me for help using Reiki have this as the primary outcome they want from Reiki treatments.

Many people who have experienced a course of Reiki treatments with me report feeling better on an emotional level. Common feedback I get from clients includes phases such as: feeling emotionally ‘lighter’, feeling happier, more at peace, worrying less, feeling less stressed, observing improvements in their mood, or feeling shifts emotionally on a deep level.

As someone who teaches Reiki as well as delivers Reiki treatments, the most frequently asked question I get  is, "What is Reiki?" In the western world, Reiki is commonly defined as universal healing energy. A more accurate definition, taken from the meaning of Reiki in the original Japanese language, where Reiki originated would be soul energy with 'Rei' meaning soul and Ki meaning energy (above is the original way of writing Reiki in Japanese kanji characters).

For many their first experience of Reiki will be from receiving a Reiki treatment, the start point of which would be selecting a Reiki practitioner and booking their first Reiki treatment. The aim of this article is to provide some considerations with the aim to help you in your selection of a Reiki professional.

This article topic is one I have had listed as a future article topic for a while, purely due to the fact that it is something many people I have helped have said it is something Reiki has helped them with and in many cases it has been the main reason they came to Reiki in the first place. 

In this article I want to explore a perception of Reiki that some people have who are looking at Reiki for the first time, in that Reiki is in some way ‘fluffy’, a bit ‘woo woo’ or ‘out there’. As such a perception can hold people back from trying Reiki and therefore benefiting of it in their lives, be that through receiving Reiki treatments or learning Reiki for themselves. So today I wish to simply explore this perception of Reiki, where it might come from and my thoughts on it.

In this article, I wish to provide a brief overview of the topic using reiki to help children. I will hold my hands up now and admit my conclusions, and indeed the whole thing is likely to slide in direction of positive bias towards the benefits of Reiki for children, as frankly in my view it’s one of those things that is an absolute no brainer.

Over the years I have helped many people improve sleep, using lifestyle coaching as well as Reiki. I like to take a comprehensive approach to any challenge and look at various approaches however I have observed people I have helped reporting improvements in their sleep when Reiki has been the only approach used. So I thought the benefits of Reiki with regards to sleep would be an interesting topic.
