The Four Agreements an amazing book by Don Miguel Ruiz, is what we teach on our Reiki Courses. Basically it means being true to who we are, regardless of what other people think we should be.

Ka and Reiki

Reiki and Hugging
Reiki is completely natural. I listened to radio 4 this morning and it was about ‘hugging’ or ‘touching.’ I was amazed at what came up, such as ‘is hugging intrusive, obusive, sexual. ???

THE FIVE ELEMENTS IN RELATION TO REIKI
If you look closely at the Reiki kanji you will see a continuous movement between Heaven and Earth, no separation just unification, a never ending circle. Mediation is similar, completely connecting to the natural world. There are many layers within the five elements, and exploring them and finding our own layer is an essential part of Reiki.
