Reiki 4 Well Being

A study published earlier this year in Frontiers in Psychology caught my attention, and I thought you might find it interesting too.

Researchers looked at brief, ten-minute Reiki sessions offered in community settings, specifically to people carrying significant stress in their daily lives, including frontline professionals. Data was collected across 59 separate events, and after each session, participants were asked to rate how they felt compared to before.
Consistently, people reported lower stress and less pain after a single ten-minute session.

Something worth knowing about this study: the data is self-reported, meaning participants described how they felt before and after each session rather than being measured by any clinical instrument. That is a real limitation, and I would rather say so than gloss over it. But it is also exactly the kind of data that matters in practice. When someone tells you they feel less stressed and less burdened by pain, that experience is real to them.

What I find encouraging is what a ten-minute window can do. I hear from a lot of people who want to try Reiki but feel like they need to carve out a significant block of time, or that a single session will not be enough to notice anything. Research like this challenges that assumption.

Reiki supports the nervous system. It is a practice that meets you where you are and gives your body an opportunity to rest and restore. Even briefly.

July 4th has a different ring to it this year. Two hundred and fifty years since our nation first declared its independence, and it has me thinking about what freedom actually feels like in the body, not just in the history books.

Freedom isn't only something we celebrate once a year with fireworks. It's something we can practice daily, in the quiet moments when we choose calm over chaos, presence over worry. My own Reiki practice has taught me that real freedom often starts on the inside, long before it shows up anywhere else.

As you celebrate this milestone with family, friends, food, and fireworks, I hope you also find a moment to breathe, place a hand on your heart, and notice the freedom that already lives within you.

Wishing you a joyful and meaningful 250th. Happy Independence Day.

Something came to mind recently that I had not thought about in a while, and I wanted to share it.

A few years ago, a nurse practitioner working on her graduate thesis reached out and asked if I would be willing to be part of her research. Her study was examining the effect of Reiki as a mind-body, holistic intervention on hope and self-efficacy in adults. I was genuinely touched to be asked and said yes without hesitation.

Over four weeks, I offered Reiki sessions to 13 participants, 20 minutes once a week. The majority were offered distant sessions, with participants in different cities and states. A few were in person.
Each participant completed assessments before and after the series, and because the study followed academic and ethical guidelines, participant information was protected by HIPAA, so there is a limit to what I am able to share publicly.

What I can share is that roughly 80% of participants reported feeling more hopeful after their sessions, with many noting that feeling grew stronger after completing all four. The study also examined self-efficacy, though I do not have the full results on that measure to share here. And because this is self-reported data, meaning participants described their own experience rather than being measured clinically, I want to say that clearly. I would rather be honest about that than gloss over it.

What I find myself thinking about is the word hope itself. Hope is about how you relate to what is ahead of you. When someone who is struggling can access even a small shift in their sense of possibility, that is worth paying attention to.

I am not sharing this as proof of anything. Just a personal experience I had almost forgotten about that felt worth passing along. Maybe it is something to contemplate now. Maybe it is something to file away for later. Either way, I am glad I remembered it.

Reiki Level I Training is June 21, 10:30 am to 6:30 pm, and 3 spots are still available.

If you have been on the fence, I want to offer you this: there is no perfect moment to begin a self-care practice. There is only the moment you decide to.

June 21 is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and it happens to be a Sunday with a small group of people gathering to learn something that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

Spaces are limited. I would love to save one for you.

Reiki Level I class in Pinellas Park, FL. Hands-on training, small group, lifetime support. Three spring dates. Limited space — register now.

One week from today, a small group of students will spend the summer solstice learning something that will support them for the rest of their lives.

I want to tell you what they will actually leave with, because I think it matters.

They will leave with their 4 initiations into the practice of Usui Reiki, which means the practice is theirs. Not borrowed. Not contingent on anything. Theirs. They will leave knowing how to give themselves a complete self-Reiki session, hand placements, sequencing, the full practice, so that the next time life feels heavy, or sleep is hard, or the nervous system needs a reset, they have something real to turn to.

They will leave having practiced on other people in a supported setting, which means they already have experience, not just knowledge.

And they will leave with a community. The people you train with in a room of 6 students become something more than classmates. They become the beginning of a practice community, and our Reiki shares keep that going long after class day.

The investment is $335. The practice is for life.

There are still a couple of spots open for June 21.

A quick note before the weekend.

Early registration for the June 21 Reiki Level I Training closes this Sunday, June 7. If you have been thinking about it, now is the time to save your spot and save $25 using code SUMMER25 at checkout.

I want to share something with you. Many of the students who have taken this class recently told me they had been thinking about learning Reiki for years before they finally registered. Some for a very long time. And almost every one of them said the same thing after class: they wished they had done it sooner.

I hear that a lot. And I understand it. Life gets busy. The timing never feels quite perfect. But June 21 is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and there is something about that particular Sunday that feels like exactly the right moment to begin.

Class size is maximum 6 students. Three spots remain.

I have been sitting with the date for this one since I put it on the calendar.

June 21 is the summer solstice. The longest day of the year. And it happens to be a Sunday, which means a small group of people here in Pinellas Park will spend it together doing something that will change their daily lives going forward.

Reiki Level I Training is open and I would love to save you a spot.

Here is what the day looks like: you arrive at 10:30 in the morning and we spend the full day together, no more than 6 students, in hands-on, experiential training. You will receive your 4 initiations into the practice of Usui Reiki, learn how to give yourself a complete self-Reiki session, and walk out holding your certificate of completion.

The practice you leave with belongs to you. No subscriptions, no equipment, no ongoing cost. Just a daily self-care practice that supports your nervous system, your clarity, and your sense of balance, available to you whenever you need it, for the rest of your life.

Early registration is open through June 7. Save $25 with code SUMMER25 at checkout.

If this has been on your mind for a while, now is a beautiful time to begin.

Sunday is almost here, and I want to make sure you know there is still space in this weekend's Usui Reiki Level I Training.

This is an intentionally small class. I keep it to 6 students by design so every person receives personal attention, genuine practice time, and a real experience of the practice before they leave.

If Reiki has been on your mind, or if someone in your life keeps nudging you toward it, this may be the moment you have been waiting for.

May 17, 10:30 AM. Blissful Beginnings, Pinellas Park.

I would love to share the practice of Reiki with you. Save your space now.
