We're Not in Kansas anymore, Toto

Okay, it's a stretch from the Wizard of Oz to Dr. Oz, but it is pretty wonderful the way reiki has been making it into the media these days. I've always liked Dr. Oz, and now I know why--he's the latest and most mainstream proponent of reiki. His wife is a reiki master (surprise, surprise). Below is a bit from his show. As my grandmother would say, wonders never cease.

my mission

I received my first reiki attunement in 2003. Since then I have gone on to become a Usui/Tibetan and Karuna reiki master teacher.

One of the translations of reiki is holy spirit (and yes, she is a girl). She is my goddess who guides me, heals me and reminds me that the greatest work of the spirit isn't some lofty or far flung thing, it is the every day way we treat ourselves, those we meet and our planet.

I hope you will find something to inspire you here. So get up off the sofa, put on your funky duds and see if the goddess doesn't have a mission for you, too.

Usui Gokai (Principles)

The secret art of inviting happiness
The miraculous medicine of all diseases
Just for today, do not anger
Do not worry and be filled with gratitude
Devote yourself to your work. Be kind to people.
Every morning and evening, join your hands in prayer.
Pray these words to your heart
and chant these words with your mouth
Usui Reiki Treatment for the improvement of body and mind
The founder , Usui Mikao
