Hi everyone, my name is Fardau. I’m originally from Friesland in The Netherlands, but since 3 months I have been travelling through Central America with my husband @Justin Peach (currently we're in Guatemala 🇬🇹). I started my Reiki journey almost 2 years ago, and have really enjoyed combining it with Yin Yoga. I want to get these 3 things from the community: 1. Find community with likeminded people (and maybe even new friends) 2. Deepen my own Reiki practice and understanding of energy. 3. Integrate Reiki into my routine. For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1. 🌴 Travel! Enjoy outdoor life in nature (hiking, swimming). 2. 🧘🏻‍♀️ Practice (& teach) Yoga. 3. ☕ Drink a coffee and read a book in a nice cafe. Can't wait to speak more with you in here! 💜

Just wondering what people’s feeling are around this. I used to attend a monthly reiki share. Which started up as a few of us who just met and all worked on one person at a time and rotated. New people were introduced to the group and it grew quite quickly. All of a sudden it became more of a focus on the psychic information people picked up on the person receiving reiki, or giving them a mediumship reading after their treatment. I felt it really lost its focus, which led to me breaking away from the group.

Greetings everyone, since some people asked, I would like to share with you a summary of - what I think - were the most important stations throughout the history of Reiki - and how these events eventually caused "different Styles" of Reiki. I gathered and summarized this information from these (highly recommended) books: - This is Reiki (Frank Arjava Petter) - Light on The Origins of Reiki (Tadao Yamaguchi) - Reiki and Japan (Masaki Nishina) If you are only interested in the point in time of the major changes of Reiki, feel free to skip to the 1970s. -------------------------------------------------------------- TIMELINE: - 1865 - Mikao Usui is born - 1868 - Beginning of the period of emperor Meiji - 1870 - Proclamation of State Shinto*: *Shinto is the indigenous spirituality of Japan, focusing on the worship of kami — spirits or gods associated with natural phenomena, ancestors, and significant cultural sites. It emphasizes harmony with nature, ritual purity, and reverence for Japan's divine heritage. With emperor Meiji, Shinto was framed as a patriotic, nationalistic tradition, emphasizing loyalty to the Emperor and the divine nature of the Japanese state. The emperor was viewed as a divine figure, central to Japan's identity. - 1908 - Japan restricts immigration to the U.S. - 1914 - Japan sides with the Allied Powers in World War I - 1914 - Mataji Kawakami introduces "Reiki Ryoho" as a healing method: He publishes a book about it in 1919. In addition, there is evidence that there were at least 3 other Reiki styles developed before Usui (Reikan Tonetsu Ryoho, Senshin-ryu Reiki Ryoho, Seido Reisho-jutsu), none of which were spread and taught publicly though. - 1922, March - Mikao Usui meditates on Mt. Kurama to find inner peace. On the 21st day he passes out and awakes with the ability and awareness of Reiki. - 1922, April - Usui creates the Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, (the Usui Healing System Learning Society).

If you could give one piece of advice to someone new to Reiki, what would it be? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! 🙏🏼

Hey, I am David and I am from the North of Ireland. I completed my training to Master Level around 18 years ago. Since then I lost touch with it. Just recently I have reignited my love for Reiki when a friend was going through some issues. Hoping this community will help me on my journey.
