After a thorough year-long Reiki Teacher Training in 2011-12, I became a Reiki Master and was allowed to teach Reiki; however, soon after I started finding information that did not match what I was trained to teach. How could that be?

Several people have contacted me over the last couple of months wondering why they weren't getting my emails anymore, and I had an easy answer for them.
Read moreDoes your birthday determine your life path?
Is your life predetermined by the day you were born?
That's a great question! In the world of numerology your birthday yields a number that is referred to as your Life Path number. It doesn't necessarily predetermine the path that your life will take, but rather give you a theme in which your life can flourish. You don't have to follow it, of course, because you have free will, but life will flow more easily when in alignment with that theme.
A Universal "7" Year
You know I like to follow Numerology, and although the personal numbers play a more specific role in your life I would like to take a moment to look at the Universal energy of 2023.
By adding the digits in 2023 together we get a 7. What is the energy of 7?
Updates to Class Offerings
Happy New Year!
I am making some changes going forward in 2022. For any new Reiki students that want to take class with me I will only be teaching Jikiden Reiki classes, and I will no longer teach my Reiki I class. The next Jikiden Reiki class is…
Put a Little Bow On It
I don't know about you, but I'm ready to wrap up 2021 and move forward. Things are starting to normalize for me after a few turbulent months working at a middle school, and now it's time to reflect on the year and prepare for the next.
After the Thanksgiving weekend I am truly grateful for…
Cha-Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes
“Mann Tracht, Un Gott Lacht” is an old Yiddish saying that means “Man Plans, and God Laughs.” I’m starting this months newsletter with this because I am again encountering some life changes which in turn is affecting my scheduling moving forward…
Read moreNew Year, New Class Offering
As we move forward into a new year and new decade, many of us will spend some time creating New Year Resolutions, most of which will fall by the wayside as the year progresses. Or maybe that’s just me.
One of my goals this year is to start teaching Jikiden Reiki Classes, and I will begin by offering the first level training (Shoden) on February 8th and 9th. I’m telling you this now because you will need to register by January 16th in order for me to receive the manuals and certificates from Kyoto, Japan before class starts.
For those of you unfamiliar with Jikiden Reiki…
Read moreFrank Arjava Petter is Teaching in LA This Month!
Three years ago I had the opportunity to study with my favorite reiki author/researcher, Frank Arjava Petter, when he was traveling through San Diego to teach Jikiden Reiki seminars, and this year he will be teaching in Los Angeles at the end of the month. Arjava sensei has authored several books on reiki including Reiki Fire, The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui, and This is Reiki, and was the first to publish a translation of the memorial inscription at Mikao Usui’s gravesite.
Having read many reiki books and websites on the subject I like Arjava’s easily accessible writing style and his dedication to getting validated and verifiable information regarding reiki and Mikao Usui out to the public.
Having met and studied with him in person I can say…
