Good morning! Offering Reiki in hospital settings has a researched and proven track record of significant benefits to patients across many measurable outcomes. Inspired by this, for the last few months I have been working on connecting with medical institutions with the intention of eventually working within hospitals. So I was so excited that we dedicated this year's Radiance series on Reiki Women Podcasts to Reiki in clinical settings. I so enjoyed the conversations we had with researchers and medical Reiki professionals. Check out Episode 4, which just dropped! Link in comments!

What happened when Reiki treatments entered Dublin's National Maternity Hospital? 97% positive patient feedback. 🌍

This week: Marleen Duffy, founder of Medical Reiki International, and Helene Williams, who has spent nineteen years bringing Reiki into healthcare settings.

They train practitioners to work alongside clinicians and speak their language.

Practices To Be Prepared for the Future in our Bodies, Hearts, Minds & Spirits:

Things are feeling unstable these days, with higher prices, disrupted social services, an unwanted war, and even our Constitutional rights on shaky ground. And all around the questions of "How long will this go one? How bad will it get?"

All of this has understandably generated a lot of anxiety, as well as many responses around how to prepare for what might come. Having spent most of my adult life on the edges of what might be considered prepping communities because of my involvement with food sustainability work, I spend a lot of time with these questions.

And, as a Reiki practitioner and teacher, I am also very focused on how we prepare our communities mentally, emotionally, and spiritually/energetically, an addition to materially.

It is my believe and contention that we absolutely can turn our society towards a future that is much more sustainable, just and safe than the one we are heading towards now, and whether or not we do has entirely to do with our ability to remain resilient, connected and hopeful, making choices that move towards greater possibility. The practices offered in this video are simple, effective and reliable support to help us cultivate resilience, connection and hopefulness, to provision us internally for whatever may come.

Celebrating Hayashi's Choice on his Birthday:
Chujiro Hayashi is a central figure in the lineage of the system of Reiki, in particular for western practitioners because of Hayashi's role in helping establish Reiki in the west as the teacher, friend and supporter of Hawayo Takata. But there are aspects of this story that are rarely told, details which throw into relief just how impactful Chujiro Hayashi's life and death are to the larger story of Reiki in the west.

Two days ago (September 15th) we celebrated Chujiro Hayashi's birthday, and the impossible choice that became a wellspring of spiritual medicine we can draw on today as western carriers of this lineage with responsibility to uphold it.

Much of the history I share in this video is detailed in the book Women in Reiki by Silke Kleeman and Amanda Jayne
