🌿 Reiki Is... Soothing
Yes it is. Here is a small practice to help you remember what that means.
Settle — Sit quietly and bring your attention to your hara, the space just below your navel. Take one slow breath down into that centre, letting your body arrive and settle where it is.
Rest hands — Place both hands gently on your body wherever feels natural, and simply let them rest there. Rather than making anything happen, keep your attention on the point of contact and the movement of your breath.
Allow — Stay for a few unhurried breaths, letting whatever is present simply be as it is. When you feel ready, gassho (bring your palms together), and offer a quiet moment of gratitude before you finish.
🪷 Small practices like these can become profound when repeated consistently over time.

Question: Why does Japan have fewer Reiki practitioners than the rest of the world?
That's an interesting question.
Well, it's a smaller country. So, of course, that would come into that.
There was an association that existed, and it still exists today. It was started in Mikao Usui's time, so the founder's time.
But because of the Second World War, for example, where the headquarters in Tokyo was actually bombed and killed all the people who were in the headquarters at the time, I think the early 1900s there was a lot of interest in hands-on healing work, meditation. It was considered quite normal for people to practice hands-on healing, to meditate, to recite poetry, especially the poetry of the Emperor of the time, and to use these things as self-development tools.
After the Second World War, there was a dwindling away of the association that had existed in Japan.
Then, when it came across to the West, eventually Western-type Reiki came back to Japan. So it sort of did a circle.
And there were lots of all different sorts of Reiki in Japan in the '80s and the '90s. There was dolphin Reiki and crystal Reiki and all sorts of Reiki.
But the association always existed.
And then when we hit the 2000s, the millennium, there seemed to be a greater interest.
I know I was interested in the history of the system of Reiki, so we started contacting people who taught in Japan from a traditional perspective.
And that is slowly growing.
But the association itself is still quite small, and the people there are quite elderly.
It'll be interesting to see how it develops in the future, and hopefully we can continue learning about the system from a Japanese perspective from people in Japan.

Clarity grows in moments of quiet attention.
We spend so much of our day reaching, solving, and straining to see the way forward. Yet clarity rarely comes from force. It settles in on its own when we finally pause and let the mind grow still, the way calm water becomes clear once it stops being stirred.
Take a quiet moment today. Rest your hands, return to your breath, and simply be present with what is. You may find that what you needed to see was there all along.
🪷 In traditional Reiki practice, stillness is not an absence of activity. It is often where understanding begins.
If you would like to explore the deeper contemplative practices of Japanese Reiki, Shinpiden+ offers a comprehensive pathway into traditional teachings, philosophy, and practice.

Question: Is Reiki dangerous during pregnancy?
Wow. Well, I have to say no. Sorry, but no.
I had learned the system of Reiki before I was pregnant, and it was the most wonderful thing to be able to do that while I'm pregnant. You know, hands-on healing on the baby. Such a great way to feel connected through to this child before it's even born.
Absolutely amazing meditation. And that whole physicality of breathing into my deep belly, feeling connected to everything, and knowing that my child is already experiencing this sense of oneness with everything in a more conscious way.
It's a beautiful thing.
And it's lovely for other people, for your partner, for friends, to go for a treatment. Yeah, beautiful thing to do.
So, make sure that if you are pregnant, go and learn the system of Reiki, and you can be there for your child in every possible way.
What a beautiful thing to do.

It's been a while since you practised. That's alright. It happens to everyone. 🌸
Life gets full. Reiki self-practice slips away quietly, and then the thought of starting again feels heavier and more uncertain than it should. Here's the secret: you don't need to catch up. You just need today.
The Shūyō App makes beginning again easy. Press play, and be guided through traditional Japanese Reiki practice in the voice of Reiki author and teacher Bronwen Logan. Choose the short practice on busy days. A blossom opens petal by petal with every day you practise, and your garden begins to bloom again.
Inspired by the daily practice of Mikao Usui's Usui-kai, and open to every lineage and level.

There is a misconception that Reiki practice should eventually lead you beyond difficult emotions.
But the system of Reiki does not require emotional escape.
You can feel anger, grief, anxiety, confusion and still be deeply in practice.
Nothing about your emotional state disqualifies you.
Reiki practice is not about bypassing what is real. It is about including it.
🌿 Some of the most profound moments in Reiki practice happen when we stop resisting what we feel and begin meeting ourselves with compassion.
These are themes we regularly explore inside Shinpiden+.

Reiki is... Clarity
Clarity does not always arrive through thinking harder.
Often it emerges when the mind becomes quiet enough to see what was already there.
Through practice, contemplation, and awareness, the system of Reiki helps us clear away distraction and reconnect with what truly matters.
What is becoming clearer for you lately?
YOUR PRACTICE
Clear — Rest both hands over your eyes and take one slow breath, letting the calm of your palms support you.
See — On your next exhale, lower your hands and sit in the flow of ki.
Know — Rest in stillness for three natural but deep breaths, trusting that clarity rises on its own when you stop straining for it, then gently thank yourself before opening your eyes.

Question. Is there a level four in the System of Reiki?
Well, um in some forms of the system, yes, there are.
If you were studying some western forms, they might teach you some things in level three and then they break it up so that it's level three and level four. Yep. But traditionally, No.
There was Shoden, Okuden, and Shinpiden. The association in Japan did break up Shoden and Okuden into different subheadings at different times, but there's no such thing as a level four as such.
But, you know, people do their own thing and they create their own thing. I've heard of there being like, I don't know, a 100 levels.
Maybe, maybe not. No. Uh, if you'd like to learn the third level with me, come and do my Shinpiden plus course.

Reiki Treatments vs Rest for Cancer Fatigue
Cancer-related fatigue affects over 60% of cancer patients and is profoundly debilitating yet undertreated and often dismissed.
Unlike ordinary tiredness, it is not relieved by rest.
This study tested whether Reiki treatments could do something that simply resting cannot.

I absolutely love what you have created. In my opinion this is exactly what we need right now in the Reiki world. I am loving every minute of exploring and practicing, contemplating and am just very exited. You did a wonderful thing in creating this. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Robert
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

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
- Such deep appreciation and gratitude for this class with you, Bronwen. Thank you and so inspired and grateful that I was lead to find your website. Thank you for being you and being here at this time that we are in and for shining and sharing the light.
Anna
I feel as though I have been reborn, leaving behind stress, the difficult experience of redundancy, and constant worry. Even my chronic back pain has somehow disappeared. I cannot remember the last time I slept without pain, and now I no longer feel it. I can honestly say that the deepest relaxation and mental clarity I have ever experienced happened with your teachings.
Irina
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

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
I love how you demystify Reiki practice and make it practical without losing the reverence and sacredness.
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 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
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 souls in the class. I truly enjoyed this class. Looking forward to the follow-up and meetups.
Ruby
I would like to sincerely thank you for such an unforgettable experience of learning and receiving Reiki. I truly understood and connected with every message and piece of knowledge you shared. Everything resonated deeply with me. The knowledge you gave us was priceless and profoundly meaningful. I have followed many coaches, attended retreats, and taken various spiritual courses, but none of them brought me the sense of balance and fulfilment that I now feel after completing your Reiki school.
Irina
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. Thx for your power, support, guidance, wisdom, and calming vines. Wonderful to know you.
Tess
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 really can’t imagine the existence of an online course this good anywhere! Thank you
Elizabeth
- I am loving Shinpiden + and I am so happy I am taking this class with you. So grateful for all the hard work and research you have put into this class. The graphics, teaching videos and the way that you gradually introduce everything is simply wonderful!
Brenda
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
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.
Anne
My voice and body feel freer from all of the inspired writing, meditating, and dreaming from Bronwen, the other participants, and this course.
Tiffany
Bronwen, I’m so grateful to you for this Webclass. I can’t even find the right words. Just thank you so much!
Emma
I just wanted to tell you how very much I am loving this course! It is all I had hoped for quadrupled. Your videos are fascinating, and the resources breathtaking in their range. I was so stymied after my Japanese Reiki 1&2 in London last year, and unable to get my head around all the often-contradictory-seeming information, but I am now finally able to join the dots. You are a marvellous teacher!
Lizzie
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
- 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'm feeling like myself again! Thank you!!
Charisse
Bronwen, What a beautiful and informative manual!!!!! I just love it💕
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
- It is like a dream come true. So many questions answered, so many insights. What I’m planning on doing is when I finish the course, going back to the beginning and going more slowly. Thanks so much for creating this course.
Emma
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
- 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

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
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
It is truly exceptional, and it is exactly what you described... Shinpiden+.
Charis
- 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
- 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
