Questions About Distant Healing You May Not Have Known to Ask... Have you ever wondered how people can claim to send distant healing energy? And really wondered how this can be done when all the healer has is a first name and initial and maybe a city somewhere close by or far away? Can these claims be real? Why not just send healing with just initials or no name at all? How much information does one need to be effective, if at all, to send distance healing? Is it personal and different for every healer or is there really a science to it with a few serious consistent basics to be adhered to, so as to not create doubt or an appearance of “hit or miss”? When I look at how different energy work teachers I have had the privilege of studying with, were sending healing energy, then I saw a pattern that distinguished what worked from what didn’t work and what was wishful thinking. Then I put this to the test myself with experiments (including with the help of an energetic cali...

.. sometimes by softening our thoughts, relaxing our focus, and melting our hearts, we create an inner warmth and flow that gives us the elasticity and internal loving strength to overcome our challenges ~ Merrie Bakker   Q  I’m often asked how much time a Reiki class should take - why are some classes 4 hours and others 16 hours? A   The simplest explanation I have is that there is a lot to cover. The history of Reiki is very important. There are many important events and people that have shaped the Reiki we practice in the West today. There is some misinformation, too, which needs to be addressed. More knowledge means more clarity and more respect for the Reiki work. Back in the 1920’s when Reiki got it’s start in Japan, the students were completely conversant with meditation, meridians and chakras and here we are not. So this extra parcel of knowledge needs to be incorporated into a class' understanding. Over time we have learned that there are some quick and ...

Mikao Usui, Sensei, the founder and ultimate Teacher of Reiki, was born in 1865, near Kyoto, Japan. He married Sadako Suzuki (of Samurai lineage) and together they had two children. He was a very spiritual businessman man who took his daily religious and meditation exercises very seriously. In 1921 his deep devotion, vast personal searching, life experiences and a particular profound Satori during a sacred retreat on Mount Kurama, culminated into new insights and an even more focused way of energy transference that we now call Reiki. Master Usui had numerous students of varying levels of proficiency and dedication who learned meditation in groups throughout the country but mainly in Tokyo. Reiki is a Japanese word, made up of two Japanese kanji – Rei and Ki - meaning, roughly translated, universal and energy. The word Reiki is often translated as “Universal Life Force Energy” or “Spiritual Ray of Life”. During the early twentieth century in Japan, during Master Usui...
