Humans are like the moon; I often use this metaphor in my classes. Sometimes we feel like a half, or even just a thin crescent of ourselves; fragmented and not quite whole. There are days when we appear incomplete, both to ourselves and to others. But just like the moon, this is only a perception shaped by angle, timing, and light. In truth, the moon is always full; we only see different phases of it. It never loses a piece of itself. And neither do we. This is very important

One of the requirements for a successful self-Reiki session is your state of mind. You need to be in a state where your mind is relaxed and at peace. When your mind goes in a hundred different directions, when you are preoccupied with a work situation or personal relationship, it can’t be effective. When your thoughts scatter, so does your energy. In this case, grounding, breathwork, meditation, tai chi, qigong, or yoga will be more beneficial. These are skills that can be le

Our beliefs and preconceptions often form quietly. They are shaped by our upbringing, culture, experiences, and our need to make sense of the world. Over time, they become so familiar that we stop noticing them. They move into the background of our awareness, influencing how we interpret situations, respond to others, and even see ourselves. In this way, they can become invisible chains that keep us in a predetermined box, limiting our world. These mental patterns are not inh

Most of our emotional energy goes in two directions: trying to impress others or reacting to them. We adjust, we adopt, we reshape ourselves. Sometimes we do this so subtly that we barely notice it. Each time we do, something within us begins to tighten. Stress does not always come from outside; it often arises from who we believe we are and are not allowed to be. Our energetic exhaustion comes from living even slightly out of alignment with ourselves. It doesn’t always appea

Why do they exist? Our brains automatically create them, whether it refers to people, events, memories, or even material things. They help us to justify, explain, or even find purpose. There are a few of them: 1. Emotional Investment It is very hard to let go after putting a lot of time and effort into something. It is one of the reasons people stay in failing marriages or toxic workplaces. People invest too much to just stand up and leave. 2. Self-Deception about the

Let’s explore how Reiki can assist and ease grief. Grief is the natural response to loss and could be one of the deepest emotional experiences one can have. To be clear, this emotion does not come only from the loss of a loved one; it can also come from the loss of a relationship, a life direction, a job, or a version of ourselves that we believe in. There are several stages of grieving, but they have one commonality: contraction or tightening of our physical and energetic bo

A person booked a session with us. It is very exciting and, at the same time, makes us nervous. How to prep ourselves? How to make a session more beneficial for our client? What I will share is based on my personal experiences and what I still practice. These are a few suggestions that could benefit you. They work very well for me, and I hope you find some of them useful. Before the Session Prep the room. Stay in the doorway. Close your eyes, and when you open them, try to

“A privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” ~ Carl Jung For many people, a spiritual journey starts with the question “Who am I?” This question reaches far deeper than the image we project; it is more than gender, race, religion, job title, or status. We all admire authenticity and desire to be authentic ourselves. To be authentic means that our thoughts and actions are in harmony. It means being true to who we really are. The journey is not only about Who a

Understanding the relationship between stress and relaxation The modern world puts a lot of stress and pressure on individuals. When we’re stressed, our body releases hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These get us ready to react quickly by boosting our energy, heart rate, and focus—our natural 'fight-or-flight' response. Which is good when we are in danger, but terrible if it becomes chronic. We often forget that our mental and physical health depend on our ability to re

There are two different spellings of this word: Gassho or Gasshou. Word Gassho translates as bring your palms together or praying hands. We can find this hand position in almost every culture, from the West to the East. Most of us are familiar with this gesture as part of a greeting or a prayer. In several countries, this gesture could mean “hello,” “goodbye,” or “thank you.” They hold significant meaning and represent not just tradition but ancient wisdom. Gassho becomes an

Every piece of land has a spirit – a silent treasure that opens to those who listen. Beneath every tree, under each stone, and within whisper of the wind lies an ancient presence. Whether we live in the same place all our lives or have moved recently, a deep, intimate relationship with this place is very important. It creates a feeling of belonging. Without a connection with the land where we live, we will never feel at home. We will always feel like strangers, like a tree wi
