EPISODE 56: REFLECTING ON SUCCESS AND A SMALL CHAT WITH REVEREND MIKI NAKURA I've had the pleasure of training in seiza meditation (quiet sitting) with Reverend Miki Nakura of Higashi Hongan-ji temple in Kyoto and the Jodo-Shinshu Shin-Buddhist New York Sangha. He demonstrates seiza but also explains the importance of hara in achieving emptiness and the meaning of Amida Buddha, which is very linked to the second Reiki symbol. Taught by Okada sensei over 100 years ago, Seiza meditation is a universal method of sitting and breathing quietly to experience a peaceful and present-focused life. We sit in a chair or on a floor cushion while maintaining proper posture, breathing, and putting full strength into the lower belly. Seiza helps the mind and body to become stable and calm. Nakura sensei offers virtual practices on Zoom and in-person sittings in New York City. He also travels the world teaching Seiza and has visited countries like England, France, Brazil, and Colombia in the last few months.You can see his full demonstration of seiza meditation hereYou can reach out to him at mikinakura87@gmail.com and access his handout about seiza meditation with step-by-step instructions on this link.

Happy Monday, Alchemist! Do you know what I love most about Reiki? It's the community! Through this practice, we meet so many incredible people, hear amazing stories, and support each other through the principles of Reiki: love and compassion. Today you'll meet one of the friends I've made through this journey. Her name is Michaela Daystar, founder of HeartScapes Studio. Michaela and I met years ago in a Reiki class, with our teacher, Frans Stiene. Drawn to methods that uncover our innate wisdom and creative nature, Michaela designs experiences that help individuals and groups connect more deeply with aspects of their identity and purpose, and that transform the barriers to living into that purpose. She has a particular interest in supporting those who are most directly impacted by the racism, patriarchy, heteronormativity and other forms of oppression at play in our lives. She also teaches a course, Trauma Informed Reiki, to ensure we practice without unintended harm. Michaela holds an MA in Social Justice Leadership from Saint Mary's College of California, and studied Reiki as a Shinpiden graduate with the International House of Reiki.

EPISODE 54: DIVE INTO REIKI WITH NICHOLAS PEARSON An award-winning author residing in Orlando, Florida, Nicholas Pearson embarked on his Reiki journey almost two decades ago. He started in the spiritual realms of high school, where his fascination with the metaphysical first took root. His formal introduction to Reiki occurred during college when he trained under the guidance of a Reiki master who nurtured a deep respect for Japanese culture. This shaped his approach to Reiki practice significantly. Since then, Nicholas has immersed himself in various Reiki traditions, including Jikiden Reiki, Usui Shiki Ryoho, Usui/Tibetan Reiki, and Komyo ReikiDo. His dedication led him to study under several esteemed teachers, and his explorations even took him to Japan, where he connected deeply with the spiritual roots of Reiki. Nicholas has penned eight books on Reiki and crystal healing, with titles such as “Foundations of Reiki Ryoho” and “Crystal Basics” earning him accolades in the spiritual community. He teaches Usui Reiki Ryoho and crystal healing in person and virtually, sharing the wisdom he has garnered from his diverse training and inspiring new generations of Reiki practitioners to deepen their understanding of the system.

Happy Thursday, Alchemist~ Today is a special episode, as I sat down to have a discussion with one of my teachers, Frans Stiene. This feels less like an interview, and more like you getting to sit down with us for a private conversation between a teacher and student. I had the opportunity to ask Frans some of the questions I've had for years! Frans has been a major influence on global research into the system of Reiki since the early 2000s. His practical understanding of the Japanese influences on the system have allowed students around the world to connect deeply with this practice. Students naturally respond to Frans' warmth and intelligence. His own personal spiritual Reiki practice offers great encouragement to those on the same path. Frans is a co-founder of the International House of Reiki and Shibumi International Reiki Association with Bronwen Logan (Stiene). He has also authored The Inner Heart of Reiki: Rediscovering Your True Self, Reiki Insights, and The Way of Reiki: The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui.

He had many questions about the Reiki system's background and elements and started his journey to find answers, traveling to Japan and meeting with many masters of different spiritual practices. This journey gave him a deep understanding of the roots of Reiki and how to use these in everyday life. He studied in Oomoto, Kameoka, Japan, the traditional arts like Aikido, Tea ceremony, Calligraphy, Seal carving, Noh Drama, and Pottery. He gained further experience in Calligraphy, working with the Zen Abbot Eido Tai Shimano Roshi in Dai Bosatsu Mountain Monastery in Upstate NY, and will be sharing a beautiful video of painting the Reiki kanji and explaining the meaning of the different strokes.Here are the videos of the drawing of the kanji and its explanation.Fokke drawing the Reiki kanjiFokke explaining the strokes of the Reiki kanjiYou can contact Fokke on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fokke.brink Or via email: reiki4u2@otenet.grNathalie Jaspar, founder of Dive Into Reiki,  is a Reiki master with over a decade of experience.

His practical understanding of the Japanese influence on the system has allowed students around the world to connect deeply with this practice. He's the co-founder of the International House of Reiki and the Shibumi International Reiki Association, and the author of The Inner Heart of Reiki, Reiki Insights, and the new The Way of Reiki - The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui, among others.   Listen in to hear how Frans defines and understands reiki, how it relates to different symbols, energy, healing, and more.   Topics We Discuss:   [1:52] Traditionally the word reiki was pointing to your own true nature, your essence, your inner, great bright light. There were very specific practices within the system of reiki in order to really lay that luminosity bare.   [6:29] When we let go of the ego, we have direct unification with what is, with our minds and the universe. When that happens, a lot of energy starts to emanate from us and we can start to help others with that energy.   [16:20] The precepts in the system of reiki are: do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, be true to your way of being, and be compassionate to yourself and others. Ultimately within your inner bright light—your inner luminosity—there is no anger or worry; the more we let go of that, love and kindness automatically come forward.   [22:18] If your mind is distracted, automatically your energy is distracted. Our mind affects our energy and our body. If we're angry, it will constrict my energy; it's very obvious. But in a lot of healing practices, this isn't taught.   [25:12] There's a merger of energy between healer and the person being healed; which is why the healer's energy is so important. If the healer is using their energy to heal, it must be luminous. The more we practice for ourselves and the healing deepens for us, the more we can help others.   [28:02] Often humans like to do things; we like to stimulate our energies, but this can make that energy distracted. Instead, we can go into a very deep state of mind where it feels like we're like the sun, then all we have to do is simply let that sun shine.   [32:10] When we have a taste of expansion, freedom, or returning to ourselves, then we have an address and know how to get back there. If we have that taste, then we can continue to practice and know if we're on the right path or not.   FOLLOW FRANS STIENE:   Find Frans on his website or on Instagram.
