My partner has been writing and developing a program its taking some time since all of this isn't a one size fits all thing. Life and running a full time cleaning business keeps slowing it down and she is so hard on herself. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help keep her motivated and not being so hard on herself?

Let me share something I'm often asked about - can you combine Reiki with other healing practices? The answer is absolutely yes! I've seen firsthand how beautifully Reiki works alongside so many different modalities. My students have successfully integrated it with massage, various forms of energy work, physical healing, and even acupuncture. What makes this combination so effective? Well, it's quite simple really - we're working with one energetic matrix, one system that responds to all forms of healing in similar ways. What I find particularly interesting is how versatile Reiki can be in different settings. Whether you choose to integrate it formally or more casually, it serves as an excellent companion to other healing practices. I have students from all walks of life - nurses, coaches, therapists, even teachers working with young children - who've found ways to weave Reiki into their existing practices. The beauty of this integration is that you can find your own way of working with it. There's no strict formula - it's about discovering what works best for you and your practice. Some practitioners might use it subtly during other treatments, while others might offer it as a distinct service alongside their main practice. I've watched practitioners develop really creative ways to incorporate Reiki into their work, always respecting both the essence of Reiki and their primary modality. It's quite remarkable how naturally it fits into virtually any healing or caring profession. Remember, at its core, Reiki is about supporting the body's natural healing processes - and that intention aligns perfectly with other healing modalities. So if you're considering adding Reiki to your existing practice, I'd say go for it! Trust your intuition and let the integration happen naturally. What has been your experience combining Reiki with other modalities? I'd love to hear your stories and insights.

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).
