From her early studies with pioneering Reiki researchers Light and Adonea to meeting icons such as Mrs. Yamaguchi and studying with Pure Land teacher Hyakuten Inamoto, Bronwen’s roots in the practice run deep and wide.

Reiki is... Ease
Ease is not the absence of effort.
It is the experience of moving in harmony with life rather than pushing against it.
The system of Reiki reminds us that growth does not always require force. Sometimes the deepest shifts happen when we soften, trust, and allow.
Where in your life could you invite a little more ease?
YOUR PRACTICE
Release — Rest both hands on your thighs and take one slow breath, letting your shoulders drop and your jaw unclench as you gently let go of any holding.
Soften — On your next exhale, let your hands grow heavy allow your whole body to soften like something melting in warm sun.
Float — Stay for three soft breaths, letting yourself rest in that effortlessness as if being carried, then gently thank yourself before opening your eyes.

“Bronwen, What a beautiful and informative manual!!!!! I just love it💕”
~ Emma (Shinpiden+ student)
There is something special about having resources you can return to again and again as your practice deepens.
Thank you, Emma, for your kind words.
One of the intentions behind Shinpiden+ was to create materials that support not only learning, but ongoing contemplation and discovery. The deeper we go into the system of Reiki, the more we realise there is always another layer waiting to be explored.
If you're ready to deepen your understanding of the system of Reiki from a Japanese perspective, Shinpiden+ offers a rich and supportive path forward.

Question. I told my doctor I do Reiki and she laughed. Oh, what do I say now? [laughter]
Well, there's lots of research out there. I've got heaps of Reiki research on my website. It's all explained in infographics to help you not have to read all those complicated research papers.
And you could print them off and next time you go to your doctor, take them with you and say, "Oh, I've got some light reading for you." That might be helpful. Give them a bit of a different perspective.
You know, when people are closed to something like this, then it is difficult to help them to shift and change because a doctor might be more science-based in their understanding. So, some science research might just be the thing to offer them.
As long as you're not saying, by the way, that you're wanting to use the system of Reiki instead of what they're offering because that's never going to go down well.
And also, I would like to think of the system of Reiki as something that works on well-being, and that's what most of the research is about.
Really listen to your doctor. Take what your doctor says as something serious. So, don't use the system of Reiki instead of what your doctor has said. But you can definitely use it as a complementary therapy, and maybe your doctor would like to learn a little more about that.
If you'd like to know more about any of this, come and join me at Shinpiden Plus online. shinpidenplus.com

In Usui Reiki Ryoho, hands-on healing is a major element in the practice. Tenohira — palm healing — is not simply a technique. It is an act of conscious, caring touch that communicates safety, presence, and connection.
Modern science is now revealing what practitioners have long known: touch is medicine.

When we pause, we create space for something new.
In a world that encourages constant movement, pausing can be a powerful act.
A single breath. A moment of stillness. A willingness to stop and listen.
Often it is in these quiet spaces that new understanding begins to emerge.

What Has Reiki Cost Us? Episode 4: Identity | Questions From a Hat (Reiki Women Podcast)
In episode four of the Reiki Women Podcast series “What Has Reiki Cost Us?”, Bronwen Logan, Michaela Daystar, and Carrie Varela explore identity through “questions from a hat,” reflecting on how Reiki practice and teaching reshape who they are.
Carrie shares cringing at her hard-partying study-abroad years in Australia while valuing the cultural humility and respect for origins it sparked, later reinforced by visiting India and Japan.
Michaela grieves leaving behind her imagined future as a university professor, while recognizing she remains a teacher in a different form.
Bronwen describes the system of Reiki as a path of remembering her younger self and discusses the loss and renewal involved in leaving the International House of Reiki.
They also discuss balancing “Reiki self” with everyday life through hobbies, intuition, humor, and pride in their work.

Question. What happens to your energy when you give Reiki to someone else?
Oh, well, are we giving Reiki to someone else? I would argue that little piece of that sentence there. I don't think we give Reiki to anybody because I'm Reiki, you're Reiki, we're in Reiki. We're not giving Reiki.
What I'm doing when I do a treatment is I am supporting you and your energy. Let's think of it this way. Say I'm doing a treatment. I go into this beautiful meditative space. Yeah.
And in my awareness is you. Yeah. So you've come for a treatment. And you—and by you I mean your body, your mind, your breath, the hara. Yeah. All of you, the whole of you—senses that energy, and you come and meet me in that space. Yeah.
So you're like, "Oh, I know that feeling. I love that feeling." It's like I'm supporting you in meditating, right? So I'm supporting you in your body coming into that healing space. And that's when you start to shift and move through things.
And, uh, I'm not really giving you Reiki. We're just really being in that energetic space together and being open to allow it to do what it needs to do to the body, or what it needs to do to us.

Reiki is… awareness.
The system of Reiki is not simply about healing techniques.
At its heart, Reiki is a practice of awareness, becoming conscious of our thoughts, emotions, habits, and the ways we move through the world.
The more aware we become, the more choice we have. And the more choice we have, the more fully we can embody the Reiki Precepts in everyday life.
PRACTICE
Arrive Rest both hands in your lap and take one slow breath, letting your attention land fully in this moment, like quietly opening your eyes to what is already here.
Witness On your next exhale, offer the words "I notice …" simply observing whatever sensations, sounds, or feelings arise.
Widen Stay for three soft but deep breaths, letting your awareness gently widen to hold everything at once, then thank yourself before opening your eyes.

What students and clients have to say about Reiki with Bronwen...
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 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
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
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
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 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
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
Bronwen, What a beautiful and informative manual!!!!! I just love it💕
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
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
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

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 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
My voice and body feel freer from all of the inspired writing, meditating, and dreaming from Bronwen, the other participants, and this course.
Tiffany
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
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

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

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 really can’t imagine the existence of an online course this good anywhere! Thank you
Elizabeth
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 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 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
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

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
- 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
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 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. 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 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
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.
