The Invisible White Rabbit – A Parable in Determination

The Invisible White Rabbit - A Parable in Determination is based on a story by Edward Hays. I think The Invisible White Rabbit is an excellent source of inspiration and wisdom for those trying to forge a spiritual journey. We all know this journey takes incredible determination and perseverance. Many New Age books make it sound easy with their claims of "Five Easy Steps Towards Enlightenment", but anyone who has done any deep spiritual work is acutely aware that it is not easy or fast. But how do we stay on the path with life's challenges and surprises?...

Biofield Therapies: Helpful Or Full Of Hype? Review Looks At Reiki, Therapeutic Touch And Healing Touch

As we continue to explore research on biofield therapies, including Reiki, it is important to consider that many researchers have an agenda when conducting their work. Biofield therapies are still considered controversial.  I am curious when biofield therapies like Reiki will no longer be called "complementary and alternative medicine". I find it interesting that biofield therapies like Reiki, some of which have been around for thousands of years, are considered "alternative medicine," and allopathic medicine, relatively new, is called "traditional medicine". Somehow, those two phrases do not logically make sense based on which is traditional and which is the new "alternative". I'm interested in your thoughts and perceptions on the following review: Biofield Therapies: Helpful or Full of Hype?...

Reiki Benefits Cancer-Related Symptoms

As a practicing Traditional Usui Reiki Teaching Master since 1995, I have first-hand experience demonstrating how Reiki can positively affect all aspects of our lives: mental, emotional, physical, social, sexual, professional, and spiritual. It is no surprise to me that research is beginning to show how Reiki benefits cancer-related symptoms. As Reiki has gained credibility in the medical profession, the need for quality research has increased. We are all very grateful for the researchers who conducted their work without bias. Unfortunately, many researchers include personal prejudice in their work, trying to make Reiki seem to be something it's not, positive or negative. I invite you to read the excerpt from the following article on Reiki benefits cancer-related symptoms.

Potential Negative Side Effects of Meditation

Is there a dark side to meditation? Can people experience the negative side effects of meditation? Why is the spiritual community so fearful of the media exposing situations of armful or negative experiences with meditation or Yoga?  Or What Research Says about Reiki? I, for one, am not fearful or startled by these experiences or stories. I have known many people who have experienced harmful or negative side effects of Meditation, Yoga, Reiki, Tai Qi, Qi Gong, and most other healing modalities. Why is this a shock? Not all people, bodies, minds and spiritual imprints are the same, why should our experiences be the same? The same would be true for Prayer; who has not had a negative experience praying sometime in their life? Can you honestly say there is anything that you have experienced something powerfully in your life that has been completely free of any negative experiences - sleeping, eating, making love, walking, laughing, relationships, singing, dancing, painting, kissing, medicine, religion, school, hugging, psychotherapy, counseling, etc.?...

Providence Reiki Treatment Parody

Last fall, there was a parody of a Miley Cyrus song, "Wrecking Ball", that was making its rounds through social media titled "Reiki Me". I know many members of the Reiki community were very offended by this video; I was not one of them. As far as I know, musical parodies are supposed to make fun of things and not be taken seriously. This funny video that is nothing like what a Traditional Usui Reiki Master would practice is hysterical. I am sure that you will enjoy the Providence Reiki Treatment Parody....

Excellent Traditional Usui Reiki Training

This past weekend we had an excellent Traditional Usui Reiki Training here in Providence. I feel like we acquired some new skills, received excellent Teachings, formed a high level of group collective energy, and raised our vibration considerably. These kinds of trainings are always such a great boost to me as a Traditional Usui Reiki Master facilitating the training. I receive such joy when I see and feel the level of proficiency achieved by the class participants so profoundly and deeply. We all left very focused, present and with that clear look in our eyes that demonstrates reaching a higher level of spiritual development at an accelerated ...
