Ho’oponopono – Mantra of Peace and Love

Immigrant Children, Mrs. Takata and Our Basic Humanity
As you know, I’m a Reiki teacher, which is a practice/art/modality that this particular linage derives from Japan. While it may be common knowledge that Reiki was “discovered” in the early 1920s, but what may not be well known within the history is the jump that it made from a Japanese practice to something that is primarily practiced in the western world today. Google it, Reiki isn’t that big in Japan, or not in a public way that it is in here, which blows my mind because it’s a practice of Japanese origin! (And while it’s of Japanese origin, it’s for all the peoples of the earth).
Reiki Q&A: Post Class Cleanse?
Hi Jerry, It just dawned on me that we didn’t discuss any post attunement cleanse. Friends of mine who have had level 1 have mentioned this to me and I’ve read that it is crucial. Should I plan to follow the 21 days of cleansing and self practice? I know these things are generally beneficial but I would love to learn your thoughts. Thank you! ~ Kelsey

My Mom: A Half Year Later
When my mom showed me this photo of her when I was about her age, I had a hard time believing it was her. The little girl in this photo has blonde hair and I’ve always known her to have dark brown hair like me. I’ve never had hair that light, but granted her hair might seem so fair because of the lighting, the camera work of the early post-war years, the black and whiteness of the photo.
Reiki Q&A: Crystals!
Hi Jerry. My question may sound silly, but I really am not sure. I have been doing Reiki on my crystals. But I'm not sure what is the function of a crystal that is infused with Reiki. Can you explain it to me? I put the crystals (near me) when I meditate. I gave one...
Recipe: Avocado “Toast” with Sweet Potatoes
I love to eat. I'm vegan (no meat, no eggs, no dairy). I love to eat junk food. I know eating healthier in a WFPB (Whole Foods, Plant Based) way feels sooooo much healthier! But junk food tastes so good! But let's be honest, junk food to me is something that tastes...
Reiki of Service: Holiday Boot Party Chicago 2017
This past weekend, I volunteered at one of my favorite Reiki events: a Holiday Boot party for children at a grade school in Chicago for the 3rd year. Winters in Chicago can be brutal and not all the kids and their families at this school may have the resources to buy...
My Reiki Story: Jennifer D.
Hi! Jerry here. Please welcome Jennifer D., a lovely soul, as she shares her Reiki story.
My Reiki Story: Jennifer D.
A year ago I had no idea what Reiki was or that it would be a major influence in re-connecting with my spiritual side. In the past year, or perhaps the last two years, I have been a journey of immense personal and, more recently, spiritual growth.
