15 January 2015 - Phyllis Furumoto with Collene
Delaney Listen to this show
History and Story part I This is the theme of the
interview this week with Collene interviewing Phyllis!
Recently Phyllis has been engaged in archiving her
Grandmother and Master's papers and photos with
the assistance of Paul and Susan Mitchell, Justin
Stein, and Robert Fueston. This has brought up
many questions about the books and papers being
written based on research of the story that Hawayo
Takata told to her students. The first conversation of
a series, Collene brings in some of the aspects that
are connected to the value of oral tradition as well.
23 January 2015 - Phyllis Furumoto with
Collene Delaney Listen to this show
History and Story part II It seems that when we, as
human beings, get stuck between two "truths" there
seems to be no way out! This time Collene and
Phyllis explore the ways that History and Story can
enhance each other.....and the expression of oral
tradition as history and story. This becomes an idea
session for the Reiki Talk Show and a creative burst
of energy happens! The practice of holding the
creative force, stimulates excitement and a future
for the Talk Show!
1 January 2015 - Phyllis Furumoto
Listen to this show
A New Year slips in ... and another year has become
memories. Hallelujah! Praise the Creator who set
the cycles in motion. We were cast on the shores of
this earth to experience the cycles of nature: the
tidal rise and fall, the sun rising and setting, the days
and nights, and our living and dying. How this has all
come to be is the mystery that holds everything
together in spirit. Reiki brings us closer and closer to
our life cycle and to our authentic place in the
natural order.
May this year be rich and challenging. May we
embrace everything that comes to us with our Reiki
hands. May we grow closer together in our practice
and our connection.
13 November 2014 - Dr. Ranga Premaratna PhD
Listen to this show
Ranga and I met almost 20 years ago in Australia,
then again in 2008 at the Reiki Australia Conference.
Throughout this time, Ranga's practice has taken
shape and substance as mine has also. This 90
minute show is a gift. His story is magical, his
wisdom and understanding of the nature of Reiki is
profound, and his acceptance of humanness is
sweet. As the only known Master of Reiki Jin Kei Do
he relies on the profundity of his experience to
confirm the relationship that he had with his master.
This is the essence of oral tradition.
7 August 2014 - Paul D. Mitchell Listen to this show
Paul Mitchell was initiated by Hawayo Takata in 1979.
Part of his calling as a master expresses in his
support of the global Reiki Community through his
co-facilitation of events with Phyllis Furumoto as well
as those he offers himself. His perspective of the
practice is often influenced by his contemplative and
philosophical nature. This conversation weaves on
and off the edge of "things that can be articulated."
What is the call of Reiki now? What are its steps of
development that are occurring? Are we, as
individual students, able to become more conscious
of the developing aspect of the Reiki Movement?
31 July 2014 - Robert Fueston Listen to this show
The Radio show is into its 8th year now! And the
interviews over the last few months have aroused
some interesting comments. Keep them coming!
Robert has been interviewed before on the show
because of his interest in putting together a
complete and accurate history of the 22 masters
initiated by Hawayo Takata. His perspective of
cosmology arises out of his natural gifts of bringing
details together to form a story. A librarian by
education and heart and a Reiki master through
following his heart makes a good combination for
his passions. Dedicated to bringing the world clearer
information and a way to connect to the essence of
Reiki practice, Robert shares his ideas of a Reiki
Cosmology.
In my travels through the world of Reiki, I
meet many people. All of them have great
stories, profound insights given through
their practice with Reiki, and inspiring
experiences. It is my joy to be able to
share these with you through these
interviews. I am grateful for the
willingness of these students of Reiki to
share with you a glimpse of their Reiki
path.
24 July 2014 - Justin Stein Listen to this show
Justin is back! And we are speaking about the
cosmology of Reiki. What is it? Does it exist? And if
it does, what are some of the vital elements. As
usual, Justin has penetrating insights and
provocative questions. His research into the history
of Reiki for his doctoral thesis is progressing. His
time in Japan studying the language and also
becoming a part of the Japanese Reiki community,
enhances his scope of vision and his development
as a practitioner of Reiki.
10 July 2014 - Frank Coppieters and Kathy Melcher
Listen to this show
The conversation of cosmology continues with
Kathy and Frank from Portland Oregon. Frank
introduces briefly the work of Joseph Campbell and
the Hero's Journey and how this relates to our path
in Reiki. He and Kathy both speak of myth and the
inherent tendency of human beings to create myth
and the influence of myth on the creation of the
self. Reiki allows us to have numinous experiences,
which means the experience being in the presence
of divinity. A cosmology of Reiki would need to
include this experience as well as others that leave
the experience of each individual student as a part
of the truth and a particle of the whole.
3 July 2014 - Aziza Shadieva Mirzakarim
Listen to this show
In 2006 Aziza came to Reiki. At the time she was
living in Uzbekistan, a country in which everything
that is not Muslim is against the law and was in an
unhappy marriage. She had the courage to take
Reiki, to eventually divorce her husband, and to
move to Almaty Kazakhstan. After a year of trying
out different occupations, she decided to bring
Organic to Kazakhstan. She and her partner have
started with different types of soap products,
clothing, and cosmetics. Her desire to be a part of
the change in bringing care to the earth, to people,
and to "every living thing" is being slowly supported
by customers. Stay tuned for more of her story as
she takes her freedom and changes the world in
which she lives.
26 June 2014 - Anand (Ilya Chentzov)
Listen to this show
In exploring the idea of cosmology or world view of
Reiki as a spiritual practice, Anand was willing to
share his personal world view. He has practiced
Reiki for almost thirty years. In this time many
waves of development have occurred. Perhaps we
are coming closer to understanding some of the
unanswered questions of our relationship with
Reiki. Within Anand's world view are seven planes:
Physical, Energetic/Etheric, Emotional, Mental, Fire,
Bodhi, and Nirvana. Join us in our exploration of
these planes as they may apply to a student's
practice of Reiki.
23 June 2014 - Margarita Kasyanova
Listen to this show
Margarita came to Reiki as many people
do…through an issue with her own health. Through
her practice of Reiki and support from her Reiki
colleagues, her health came to a place where she
could fulfill her calling to mastery in 1998. During
the last years, she has been interested in many
aspects of the practice and shares the ones that are
very recent….from the last few days! Her previous
research collected 1000 Reiki miracle stories. These
stories and her own experiences of Reiki have given
her a base from which the recent insights sprang.
Intriguing and inspiring, Margarita shares herself
with great articulation. Recorded in Russian with
interpretation from Sadhu.
5 June 2014 - Juergen Kindler and Peter Mascher
Listen to this show
The second part of the conversation from last week,
the topics seem to touch all of us deeply. There are
moments of filled silence that speak as loudly as
our voices. This topic of exploring the Reiki
cosmology is one that is becoming richer and more
interesting with each show. Peter and Juergen bring
their years in Reiki and their thoughtfulness to this
topic.
29 May 2014 - Juergen Kindler and Peter Mascher
Listen to this show
During the ProReiki Conference I asked these two
Reiki Masters if they would be willing to explore "a
cosmology of Reiki". They decided they would and
we made an appointment! Both long time Masters
and both very active in the German Reiki
Community, they spark each other in the interview
and the result is a conversation that lasted two
hours. We were all very touched and excited by our
conversation. Honoring each other, recognizing
similarities, and accepting differences, they bow to
each other in Reiki. Part 2 of this conversation will
air on June 5.
15 May 2014 - Don Alexander Listen to this show
Don Alexander has been in the Reiki World for
many decades. He brings to the show his many
years of experience, his wisdom gathered from his
long life, and his lovely sense of humor. In his late
20's, Don sought the wisdom in the mountains in
the Far East. He spent many years at the "feet" of
Buddhist teachers who supported him in entering
meditation and contemplation in the mountains.
He was drawn to the story of Mikao Usui and his
mountain experience. We speak of many things …
and the key is Love.
24 April 2014 - Phyllis Furumoto
Listen to this show
On my Facebook page a student wrote: Dear
Phyllis.....as a reiki practitioner .....could you please
answer a question for me. Is Reiki a sect of
Buddhist practice....or a healing art? Many Japanese
friends...because of being from Japan....tell me that
their understanding has been that Reiki is a
religion. Is it separate from Buddhism... Or is it a
form of Buddhism? This question was so intriguing
that I wanted to respond to it by talking not writing!
So I have responded to this question. The
conversation is not over which is good. This means
that the practice is alive and is developing because
there are so many different opinions!
17 April 2014 - Phyllis Furumoto Listen to this show
Cosmology comes from the Greek language
meaning the study of the origin, the evolution and
finally the fate of the universe. When applied to
Reiki, I see that there is a line of thought and
understanding that is arising from the millions of
people that are practicing some form of Reiki today.
I shared the part of my thought and understanding
that I received from my teachings with Hawayo
Takata and then were expanded by my experiences.
I am asking for a conversation about this in this
reikitalkshow community! Please do go to the
Facebook page …..reiktalkshow with Phyllis
Furumoto ….and write something about your
understanding or questions or foundation stones.
Let's explore the obvious places of similarity and the
seemingly places of difference. Are they really
different? Let's talk!
3 April 2014 - Phyllis Furumoto Listen to this show
This is an encore show from November 2012 and
was a step in my process of opening to the calling of
Reiki. At the end of my tour of South America, I was
privileged to speak to a group of about 100 students
and masters in Santiago Chile. The topic question
was "What is the future of Reiki?" Combining many
of my main themes, I was able to communicate
moving from being self referenced to including the
world community, moving from being a helper and a
fixer to being of service, and moving into the next
stage of development for this practice we call Reiki.
28 March 2014 - Phyllis Furumoto
Listen to this show
In the 1980's, many new age slogans were going
around the community such as "We are all One"
"We are all connected" "Connect to the Earth as if it
were your mother." These fell into the category of
slogans because she did not have experience of
oneness and connection to give life to these
phrases, making them more than slogans. Now,
after 35 years of practice, Phyllis has a depth of
experience to make the these phrases into
statements. With the acceptance of the statements
comes the question, "What can we do about
manifesting the statement to become way of Being?
Phyllis shares her passion and her knowing that
these are her next steps as well as the next steps of
the Reiki community. "Let us be United" is a
recording of the Siddha Yoga Vedic Choir as a prayer
for the world community. Lyrics: "Let us be United ≈
Let us speak in Harmony ≈ Let our minds
apprehend alike ≈ Common be our prayer ≈
Common be our resolution ≈ Alike be our feelings ≈
Unified be our hearts ≈ And perfect be our unity.
from a translation of Rig Veda by Ann Hampton
Callaway in 2001.
6 March 2014 - Walter Luebeck Listen to this show
In 1987, Walter Luebeck found Reiki. His story is one
of sweet miracles, not uncommon in Reiki. Reiki
nourished his soul in ways that moved him to keep
practicing. The more he practiced and experienced
the connection of Reiki, the more he learned about
life, about being human, and about the ever
expanding universe in which he lives. He values
giving the joy of discovery to the student as well as
the movement in the Reiki community to come
together in the "oneness of Reiki."
20 February 2014 - Patricia Warren
Listen to this show
When I introduced Patricia on the show, I said I
hadn't met her! But after the interview, she
reminded me that we met twenty years ago at a
Masters' Intensive in Germany! This was in 1993
and the period of time where we were both starting
to travel to Russia and teach. It is a crossing of
paths that is occurring now as well…..twenty years
later. Patricia's story comes from the early 1980's
when the world was very different….only a few Reiki
masters had been initiated, there was no internet,
and Russia was still the USSR. Her path led her to
Russia, to her country of origin, Lithuania, and
eventually to Australia where she continued her
training in Reiki Jin Kei Do & Buddho-EnerSense,
another form of Reiki practice than the the one she
started with. A magical journey that begin with 5
minutes of a Reiki treatment inspired Patricia to
follow the path of Reiki.
27 February 2014 - Audrey Devdasi Pearson
Listen to this show
Meeting people over the internet has become the
norm lately! It is great for the show because I am
meeting people with whom connection any other
way most likely would not happen! Audrey came
into my Facebook page and into our show. I was
drawn to her sharing about Gendai Reiki and her
Lineage of Hiroshi Doi Sensei a member of Usui
Sensei's original Japanese Reiki Lineage. Though the
show is not a place to really go into the practice
details, it was wonderful to have the chance to hear
her story which is an unfolding of a spiritual path.
Audrey is deepening her connection to her inner
Reiki Sensei following in the protocols and lineage
teachings of Hiroshi Doi’s Gendai Reiki Ho. This is an
honoring of her master and all of the teachings that
she has acquired over the years through Reiki and
Yoga as well as an honoring of her gifts that she
wishes to share in this special manner.

6 February 2014 - Barbara Matsuura
Listen to this show
Encore Show! As we move into a series of interviews
with masters, we start with Barbara who has
blended her American upbringing and a Japanese
nature. When Barbara moved to Japan in 1981, she
moved into a form of Kabuki Theatre which took
advantage of her ballet background. After an
accident compromised the use of her thumb, she
searched for something to assist in healing her
thumb 100% and found Reiki. Barbara brings her no
nonsense approach to the world of metaphysics in
many ways. Her stories are simple and profound.
Her integration of American and Japanese is a
beautiful mix that will come through her speech, her
stories, and her clarity of the essential nature of
Reiki as an energy and as a practice.
