25 October 2007 - Francis Ecury Saponara Listen to this showFrancis and I met in a cafe near the Hook of Holland ferry terminal for the interview. Interestingly enough, when we were first in the cafe only a couple of other people were there. Then as the hour went by, more and more people came in until I didn't know whether this would actually work. The topic of our chat encompassed healing and curing, surrender and trust, and a Reiki way of lIfe. Join us for an intimate chat.

She had the chance in her early years of teaching to go to Australia. She and Beth Gray, a master initiated by Hawayo Takata, landed in Australia within months of each other. Marta has continued going back to Australia over the years renewing her love of the land. Reiki has blossomed there as in all parts of the world. A warm feeling of gratitude for these two masters who traveled to a far away land and found their own homeland. Beth Gray also continued teaching in Australia until a stroke left her unable to travel. Listen to a story of how Reiki flows around the world. There will be more pioneering stories coming in the next weeks of the show.
13 September 2007 - Pamela Miles Listen to this showPamela Miles, holistic health practitioner, is back for a second week! This week the conversation is back to a simple but very subjective question, What is Reiki? I speak about the energy of Reiki. Stay tuned to the program this week for a discussion of other words that Pamela feels is more descriptive and less provocative. This is not our first conversation on this topic. Look forward to a stimulating discussion.If you wish to connect more deeply with Pamela, she has authored, REIKI: A Comprehensive Guide (Tarcher/Penguin), and her web site address is www.ReikiInMedicine.org . She is deeply interested in the public and professional practice of Reiki as well as supporting the practice of all levels of Reiki students.

16 August 2007 - Fokke Brink Listen to this show"Kanji" is a word for the Japanese characters that are used to communicate concepts with the language. Fokke Brink has made a study of the three kanji that "says" Reiki. He will take his understanding of the origin of the kanji and extend it into his own perspective of Reiki, the energy, and Reiki, the practice. Fokke took Reiki in one of the first classes in the Netherlands and now lives in south Greece.
9 August 2007 - Phyllis Furumoto Listen to this showPhyllis is her own guest this week as she goes through a few of the words that are used in the Reiki community. Words such as master, student, grand master, and Reiki connect with each of us in a different way. Having a different "meaning" for the words and a different understanding can separate or can provide a richness of understanding once the attachment to being right is not present. Imagine that we could start our own list of terminology....and create a rich and varied experience through the sharing of how we all come to what our meaning is of these simple but fundamental words that are used in the community.A collection of these words is often referred to as jargon. Yes, we have our own Reiki jargon and often the miscommunication occurs when we do not check the meaning of words that we use with others. This exploration is a good place to start clearing up communication issues with someone!
2 August 2007 - Fran Brown Listen to this showFran Brown is one of the masters that Hawayo Takata taught and initiated. From the beginning of her time with Reiki, Fran has practiced faithfully and with great verve! Her enthusiasm for Reiki has not dimmed after all these years, rather she has acquired many stories, a long lost love, and a way to celebrate life. Tune in for a taste of a great story teller. She is available through her book, "Living Reiki, the Teachings of Takata" and her traveling schedule which is available from her web site.
26 July 2007 - Ruth Wong Pine Listen to this showRuth Wong Pine joins us in exploring the concept of Reiki through the Chinese language. The Japanese language has been closely connected with the Chinese from perhaps 2000 years ago. In working from the Chinese language and concepts, Ruths point of view may give one a more full understanding of the language concept of Reiki as well as the energetic experience of Reiki, the energy. This is a lovely second chapter of exploring the kanji of Reiki that was begun by Fokke Brink in last week's program.

12 July 2007 - Phyllis Furumoto Listen to this showPhyllis Furumoto, the show moderator, describes her own beginnings with Reiki, her understanding of Reiki, the energy, and Reiki, a practice. Included is a brief history and how Reiki fit into the "New Age" that blossomed in the 1970's. This is the foundation show for the next year of shows in which Phyllis will present many sides of the question; What is Reiki? As well as acquainting the listeners to the global community of Reiki students.
23 August 2007 - Pamela Miles Listen to this showPamela Miles is a Reiki activist dedicated to the education of the public as well as to the education and preparation of Reiki students and public practitioners. Pamela's perspective on Reiki is informed by both years of meditation and natural healing practices and by a deep respect for science. Stimulating and articulate, Pamela will awaken questions in you, as she has in me! Is Reiki vibration? Can Reiki be described as energy? What is the most accurate language to use? Book: Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide (Tarcher/Penguin 2006)
27 September 2007 - Kate Jones Listen to this showKate Jones has been involved in The Reiki Association of the UK since its beginning and has been involved in the RRWG (Reiki Regulatory Working Group) for the last few years. 20 years ago I was asked by teacher in a spiritual healer's program in London if I were teaching Reiki and expecting the students to go into the public and "heal?" My response was "No, that what I taught was first and foremost a personal healing process that could be applied to others also." Over the next weeks there will be other interviews that concern the emerging public practice focus in different countries. For many Reiki students there is not a difference between what I call the folk art practice on the self and family and the public practice. Now this difference is being explored and clarified by the work of such bodies as the RRWG in the UK. Use these interviews as resources for yourself and your local Reiki community. Or get a feeling for how to find a Practitioner if you have not experienced Reiki before.
20 September 2007 - Tove Midtgaard Listen to this showAs Tove came to Reiki, she was able to see the evidence of energy through Kirlian Photography and then by measuring the vibrational levels of her clients with a pendulum. When I heard her speak about this I assumed she was proving the existence of Reiki. She soon brought me to see that her experiences do not prove that Reiki existed for her, but allowed an understanding of how Reiki, the energy, was affecting those who came in contact with Reiki through treatments or initiations. Thus she has been able to assess people's response to Reiki. Additionally has come to understand more clearly how Reiki lifts our vibration not just for a few minutes but seemingly for the rest of our lives! Listen in and make your own conclusions!
4 October 2007 - Joyce Winough Listen to this showJoyce was looking for a sail boat and found Reiki! When she met Reiki in Honolulu, the presence of Hawayo Takata was still there in her students and the practice of Reiki that spread throughout the islands from the 40 years of her practice. Joyce's experience of meeting some of her students as many of the island students do, inspired her to live Reiki in an everyday way. Then she had an opportunity to have a special focus of Reiki Treatments on Molokai with the community of people who have Hansen's disease. Listen in for a glimpse of a unique Reiki experience.
