Welcome …
to the third edition of our magazine. We've continued to improve and have worked hard on this issue. In fact the magazine has expanded by 50 percent to include 60 pages and over 35 pages of articles! All written by accomplished Reiki authors and teachers who are providing you with some of their best experiences and thinking on the subject of Reiki.
One of the areas of interest that often comes up in Reiki classes and in the emails I receive involves the human energy system (HES). People want to know what it is, why it is important, and most of all, what role it plays in the practice of Reiki. Questions about this topic come up a lot, but there doesn't seem to be much information available. One reason is that the original hand positions taught in the West involve placing the hands on the body and not in the aura. This was fostered by Mrs. Takata, who didn't include information in her classes about the chakras or the aura or how to treat them with Reiki. The same is true in Japan; with the exception of byosen scanning, not much attention is given to the aura and chakras there, either.
This is puzzling as Reiki, being a subtle energy, works directly on and through the HES. The value of this cannot be overstated, as the HES forms the very basis of our health and creates the foundation of our consciousness. A good understanding of this important, but little-mentioned, aspect of Reiki healing can greatly enhance your use of Reiki. At the same time, it can also increase your comprehension of life itself.
Here is a list of the articles in the winter issue:
