What would Mikao Usui think of modern Western Reiki?
Question, what would Mikao Usui think of modern Western Reiki? I don't know. I don't know. Would he actually know that it had anything to do with what he was teaching? I have no idea. I'm sure some of the things that are taught within the system of Reiki in the West, he would be flummoxed by and even by possibly what's even taught in Japan. It's a hundred years ago, if I look at the association that exists in Japan that's been a hundred years of how many presidents have they had?
Eight presidents, nine presidents. Each time things change as well with that. And within the West, things obviously change. So things keep changing. And I can only hope that we can hold onto some of that original experience of what it might've been like to have been with Mikao Usui back in the early 1900s.
That would've been so amazing. Imagine having learned with him. I would've loved that, but it's not the case. So all we can do is try to trace that back as well as we can, and really try to bring that sense of what he might have taught to our teachings. But whether he would recognize what we do today.
I'm sure he'd recognize some things and other things, obviously not. Yeah. But if you'd like to know more about the Japanese aspects of the system of Reiki, then come and join me at Shinpiden+ online.

Hands-on healing is what many people recognise as Reiki practice.
But it is only one part of a much larger system.
When practiced in isolation,
it loses its depth.
🪷 When integrated with the full system,
it becomes something entirely different.

Can Reiki help with grief?
We are talking here about the system of Reiki, let's say. You could have a Reiki treatment or you could actually learn how to practice yourself. So there's two different things that you could do here, and both of them would be very supportive of you with grief. Grief is something that when we experience grief, it's something that we move through so we don't stay forever in grief.
We can probably access that grief, if we want to at any time, but we don't stay in grief. And that's because we are always shifting and changing Yeah. In our world. We never stay the same. What's that beautiful saying? You can never step into a river in the same place twice.
Something like the system of Reiki can definitely help you move through that. It's not to remove that. We don't want to remove grief. It's a part of us. It's our makeup, it's a part of our history and our world, uh, our experience. But like, we don't want to stay stuck in grief.
We want to be able to shift and move through that. And I do feel that a Reiki treatment is there to help you shift and move things, as is a Reiki course where you could actually get more self-awareness about what it means to feel that grief and what that might mean for you, especially in alignment with the Reiki precepts.
So for today only do not anger, do not worry. Be grateful, be true to who you are, and, uh, be compassionate to yourself and to others.

Reiki is... Big Energy
PRACTICE
Place both hands over your Hara (belly) and take a slow, deep breath into the Hara. As you exhale, imagine your energy expanding outward from your Hara like a warm light slowly filling the entire room around you.
With your next out breath, let that light grow even larger beyond the walls, beyond the building, stretching out to the horizon in every direction, until you sense yourself held within something vast and boundless.
Rest in that spaciousness for a moment, hands still on your Hara, and notice how Reiki isn't something small and contained; it is a limitless field that you are in and it is in you.
This practice can be done in as little as 60–90 seconds and is a beautiful way to shift out of feeling small, rushed, or contracted.

There’s something that shifts when Reiki becomes lived, not just learned.

This is the work of returning to the system as practice, not performance.

Reiki practice is less about doing and more about allowing.
Reiki practice becomes delicious when we soften effort and allow, rather than try to control.
Where can you allow more today?

Can you give yourself Reiki while you sleep?
Well, we are Reiki, aren't we? So we are spiritual energy and we are in spiritual energy. So that's all happening while we sleep.
Can you work with the practices, I guess is what you're saying?
I guess you could place your hands on your body with the intention of working with healing.I'll go to sleep with my hands on my body because it feels great.
So I'm, doing hands on healing but of course once I've fallen asleep, my hands will fall away. So yeah. I'm not really doing that any longer.If my intention is to always be Reiki, well I am always Reiki, but it's bringing my awareness to that and that's actually what we are learning when we practice the system of Reiki. Yeah.
To always be consciously aware of being Reiki. I could bring that intention to my sleep for sure. So it could be something that I could do before I go to sleep.I could think about this and set my intention to always be Reiki. That would be a great thing to do. Yeah.
A good part of your practice. It's just like being the Reiki precepts. Okay. Good Question.

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

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

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.

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
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 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
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 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

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

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

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

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 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

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 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

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.
Gita

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

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 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
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 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.
