✨ Are we giving our own energy during a Reiki session? ✨
In this episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, we explore a common question in the system of Reiki: whether our personal energy is involved in a session and where Reiki is truly sourced.
We talk about the differences between Western and Japanese perspectives of the system of Reiki, how energy is already present in the shared space, and why sessions are about being together rather than “sending” energy. We also share practical guidance on grounding, energetic and emotional hygiene, and how the fourth precept “True to my way and my being” helps us navigate universal interconnectedness while honoring ourselves and our clients.
✨ If this podcast has supported your journey in the system of Reiki, you can help us sustain it in 2026:

Most practitioners only learn fragments of the Five Elements.
Shinpiden+ brings them together as a complete, living system.
This is the difference between doing Reiki and embodying the system of Reiki.
If you’ve been craving depth, clarity, and the Japanese foundations of the system… this is where everything finally clicks.

When Should You Refer a Client On?
Reiki practitioners are not meant to hold everything.
Knowing when to refer a client on is a sign of clarity, ethics, and care, not failure.�It protects both the practitioner and the person receiving care.
🪷 Watch and reflect: How confident are you in knowing your professional boundaries?
This is a core topic in my Reiki mentoring and practitioner coaching work.

AM I A REIKI MASTER? I've been enjoying the discussions around the system of Reiki's history these days. When I first started practicing, the only information available historically was either solely about Hawayo Takata, and some thin, but exciting at the time, books from Frank Arjava Petter. Reiki books on the whole were mostly people's Reiki manuals that they'd decided to publish. This was the motivation for writing The Reiki Sourcebook (and followup books) to try to put together as much information into one tome about the history and how it had developed over the years. There seems to be an uptick in interest in this subject of late. It has been wonderful to see the early information about Mikao Usui's life in Taiwan come to light, and then we have 若竹守 Mamoru Wakatake (using a pseudonym) who claims to be from the Japanese Reiki association opening lots of delightful discussions about the history and Japanese culture in general. I think I even saw a post about a 'secret research group' which sounds a little odd or exclusive at best. Today, Justin B. Stein - Reiki Research was looking at the certificate that Hawayo Takata received from Hayashi Chujiro and discussing the term Reiki Master. There are so many nuances to this subject if we look back at the cultural reasonings and move forward to our personal desires. At any rate, I wrote a blog about it a long while back and thought I'd revisit it. Enjoy!

From a Shinpiden perspective, Reiki I is never “finished.”
As understanding deepens, the foundations reveal themselves again not as basics, but as living principles.
What once felt simple begins to feel precise.
What once felt obvious becomes subtle.
Returning to Reiki I isn’t going backward.
This reframing is central to Shinpiden+, where Reiki I and II are revisited through the clarity of Reiki III.

Our hands are not accidental in Reiki practice.
Across Japanese esoteric traditions, including Shugendō and Buddhism mudras (inso) function as energetic seals that shape awareness, intention, and spiritual embodiment.
In this article, I explore the “magico-spiritual” language of hands, how mudras operate within traditional Japanese Reiki, and why gestures we use every day carry far more energetic significance than we realise.
If you’ve ever wondered why hands are central to healing practice, this is for you.

Why the Tengu at Mt. Kurama Isn’t a Spirit Guide
The Tengu at Mt. Kurama is often interpreted as a spirit guide.
But that reading reflects Western assumptions more than Japanese philosophy.
In this article, I explore how traditions such as Shingon Buddhism, Shugendō, and Japanese philosophical thought understand relationship not as separation bridged by ritual, but as overlap.
The mountain, the practitioner, and the Tengu are not three separate things.

Reiju is the central ritual of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (Japanese Reiki association), offered each time members meet. I’m honoured to continue this tradition in a modern way,through a weekly 15-minute online gathering designed to support your practice and inner clarity.
Whether you’re RI, RII, or RIII, these short sessions help refine the mind, soften the heart, and remind you that you ARE Reiki.

Most practitioners reach Reiki III and still feel unsure, not because they’re doing anything wrong, but because they were never taught the full system of Reiki.
Shinpiden+ takes you back through the entire system with the clarity of a Reiki III perspective.
This is where everything finally clicks.
This is where the Japanese roots come alive.
This is where you understand Reiki as it was meant to be understood.

What Is the Cultural Appropriation Question in Reiki?
Reiki comes from Japan, and how we relate to that matters.
Cultural appropriation in Reiki isn’t about fear or guilt.�It’s about respect, study, and understanding where teachings come from and how we carry them forward.
🪷 Watch and reflect: How do you honour the origins of the system of Reiki in your own study and teaching?
These conversations are central to my Japanese Reiki classes and writings.�

The system of Reiki doesn’t respond to force or effort.
It responds to willingness, to soften, to allow, to stay present with what is.
As practice deepens, many discover that progress doesn’t come from doing more, but from interfering less.
Where in your practice are you still trying to control the outcome?

What students and clients have to say about Reiki with Bronwen...

Bronwen, I have been listening to your CD set, Reiki Meditations for Self-Healing, and have recommended it to my students. Your gentle, non-judgmental approach to meditation and to Reiki is an inspiration.
Janine

This class is a must if you want to deepen and share with others the gift of meditation. Bronwen was very much in tuned with each of her student that everyone became more confident within themselves. Thank you Bronwen for allowing me to grow with you and with the other beautiful soul in the class. I truly enjoyed this class. Looking forward to the follow-up and meetups.
Ruby

I very much enjoyed the 21 day course in finding my voice. I have been meditating on the precepts daily and have really taken a liking to chanting, which I never really connected with previously. I really enjoy the vibration through my being and the stillness it creates. It feels strange not to have a recording in my inbox daily from you. I can't wait to take more courses with you. You are absolutely living your purpose. Your beautiful energetic spirit, amazing voice, and guidance kept me so grounded through my recovery. I'm back to work full-time today.. thx for your power, support, guidance, wisdom, and calming vines. Wonderful to know you.
Tess

I just wanted to say that I loved this meditation series. Bronwen, your voice is absolutely Divine! I would listen to anything you record! I loved that each meditation built upon the last and softly led the listener to a place of deep inner serenity. I will definitely listen again! With great gratitude…
Mary

I always learn so much from any course or program that I attend that Bronwen teaches. I have been creating guided Reiki (with animals) meditations for years now but I knew that I would be able to take what I am already creating, to a new level. I was so inspired. Thank you Bronwen for giving each of us some beautiful steps and techniques to use in our writing and meditation process. Each session we were given beautiful information and instructions that we would then put into practice in our own unique way. I loved listening to each of the other participants meditations. Each of us different but so beautiful and profound. We all actually have our own beautiful unique way of creating and sharing inspired guided meditations. I was so grateful for Bronwen's support and guidance as well as the feedback from the group. If you are considering creating your own guided meditations or deepening your meditations you must take this course. Thanks Bronwen.
Janet
Thank you for the wonderful practice today. I spent much of it with tears flowing....I'm so grateful to have been able to take part in your virtual practices this year. Your words and openness have touched me deeply -- thank you.Jeannie

My voice and body feel freer from all of the inspired writing, meditating, and dreaming from Bronwen, the other participants, and this course. If appropriately titled, my yoga classes might be currently called "moving meditation." There is a sense of connection with what I am able to give to my students unlike anything I have ever experienced before, and the result is a resounding "yes" from them to continue whatever it is that my sharing is transforming into. Awe inspiring? If not, I am closer to awe than ever before, and won't stop trying to achieve that description.
Tiffany

I attended the two-day face-to-face Shoden Reiki 1 training with Bronwen. The whole experience was truly amazing. Bronwen is an exceptional teacher and host. I have been interested in doing my Reiki training for some time now, and after a weekend with Bronwen, I am more motivated than ever. Thanking you Bronwen.
Monique
Such deep appreciation and gratitude for this class with you Bronwen , my internet kept disconnecting could hear and listen to all you shared which was deeply inspirational but was unable to post in chat or connect with microphone , so clearly was meant for me to simply listen and soakIt all in ... thank you and so inspired and grateful that was lead to find your website , and love the synchronicity that you have been to the Japanese Gardens in Cowra as I was born and lived not far from there for the first 16 years of my life 🙏😌 and have just found and purchased some of your books on amazon ,Thank you for being you and being here at this time that we are in and for shining and sharing the lightI look forward to regularly checking in on your website and offeringsAnna
An hour on Zoom with Bronwen and epiphanies abounded!It's amazing what a little introspection can do for the soul under her skillful, soulful guidance.Kacey

I would highly recommend this class. Bronwen's encouragement helped me to find my own unique voice through the process of preparation and creative writing. She provided us with a very clear structure to start from, which made it easier to get going and allow the creative process to flow. The class was very well organized with slides, group participation through talk or chat, PDF's for later review and of course Bronwen's invaluable insight and help during class and through email. I looked forward to each session, the group of participants were such a joy to get to know and each one left me so inspired. I feel a lot more confident writing and guiding my own meditations now and have been writing meditations since the class ended.
Sarah

AMAZING Bronwen thank you. That was a two for one deal. She only stirred twice. Once when you were around her head I think. Thank you so much. She snored mostly through it. Looking forward to seeing how she's feeling. My entire body is vibrating my hands and arms tingling so strong. Some emotions were brought to the surface for me. Thank you thank you.
Jasmine

I had to share and thank you for your the meditation CD. The day it arrived I put it the car and that afternoon I was working with a special needs adult with ADD. She was becoming increasingly anxious and upset. I put on the CD and when she heard your voice she calmed down. We continued together to do the breathing into the hara while I was driving and it was amazing, we both were feeling balanced and relaxed.
Carrie

The 21 Day Journey to Finding Your Voice with Bronwen was a magical experience. With poetry, chanting, quotes, meditation, and her own healing energy, she guided and nurtured us to a deeper, loving relationship with our True Self as expressed through the Precepts. The course opened a door through which one can live a life of beauty, integrity and strength. Thank you so much, Bronwen
Emma

So grateful for Bronwen guidance. No better person could be chosen to lead our pathway to Finding Our Own Voice collectively and individually. As for me this journey was important.
Yolanda

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the creative writing course and to thank you very much for your inspiration and encouragement. You gave me the confidence to have a go at the writing and I surprised myself what I managed to produce! I really enjoyed doing it and it has definitely helped me to get more from my meditation practice with looking at it from a different perspective. So many thanks once again Bronwen.
Candy

Thank you very much. I felt immediately relaxed and my back pain is gone. I didn’t realize how much it bothered me until I got up this morning and didn’t feel it. I am very grateful.
Carol
I had a big emotional release during the treatment. I cried and cried and let it all out. I saw myself as a kid in my minds eye so guess she was popping up for healing!I feel so much lighter and more positive now. I've got a bit of a headache but will drink lots of water and take it easy today - I've got my colored pencils and colouring book out which I always enjoy so that will help too.I'm feeling like myself again! Thank you!!Charisse
Thank you for the wonderful practice today. I spent much of it with tears flowing....I'm so grateful to have been able to take part in your virtual practices this year. Your words and openness have touched me deeply -- thank you.Jeannie
I have struggled to keep up a daily practice and you have made it possible for me, as a retired person, to participate and get back to my Reiki. Also your Reiju is super powerful and lovely.Mary

It was as if the veil of any illusion of differences between species was pulled back and we were just all there together. We all sat there for some time after the session "formally" ended. None of us wanting to leave the space. I've never received distant Reiki with them, that is with me actually included in the treatment. It was a profound experience and I know we are all even closer because of it. It feels as if we understand each other better. And it feels as if the energies we share received healing. All of the animals are very peaceful tonight. It was as if the Reiki energy just swirled around the property and house in the most magical way.
Melanie

This class is fabulous. Bronwen is inspiring and so generous and supportive. I found my commitment to my practice deepened as well as my understanding of what my daily practice is for me. And, I began to become comfortable writing meditations and guiding them. Just an outstanding experience. Thank you, Bronwen.

I love your book, The Reiki Sourcebook!! You have done an excellent job of research and writing for this sensitive but important material. Thank you for your meticulous effort to provide unbiased information on reiki, which will help keep reiki from drowning in controversy and ego.
Nina Paul

I love how you demystify Reiki practice and make it practical without losing the reverence and sacredness.
Emma

Loved every class and a great investment of my time. Bronwen guided us to think a outside the box and took a gentle approach with us. It was an opportunity to not only hone my meditation skills further but allowed me the confidence to write meditations and share it with the class. The group was global and each brought a different perspective to the classes. Well worth doing Bronwen's meditation class and hope there is a part 2 , whatever format that may take.
