Bronwen Logan, also known as Bronwen Stiene, is an educator in the Japanese art of Reiki, as well as a writer, an animal lover, a thinker, a podcaster, a feminist, and a catalyst for spiritual and personal empowerment. With 25 years of teaching experience and counting, Bronwen’s teachings extend beyond the conventional, inviting you to explore the deeper, transformative elements of the system of Reiki.
Bronwen’s interests include studying meditation from a variety of cultural influences, writing about her spiritual experiences from a philosophical and practical perspective, discovering more about the importance of Japanese culture and philosophy in the system of Reiki, embodying the role of women in the healing arts, supporting the wellbeing of animals through healing work and more.
A driving force in the Reiki community, Bronwen co-founded both the International House of Reiki and Shibumi International Reiki Association. She’s the co-author of respected works such as The Reiki Sourcebook, The Japanese Art of Reiki, and Your Reiki Treatment.

Bronwen is equally at home in the realm of virtual healing for those who can’t make the journey to Tomah Retreat. Her online courses include regular weekly, bi-weekly and monthly classes for students of her Reiki world, Reiki with Bronwen.
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. Her continuous exploration of the system has also led her to study Qi Gong with notable teachers like Li Ying and Master Robert Peng.
In a world that often seeks to sideline the spiritual, Bronwen shines as an advocate for holistic well-being, especially elevating women’s voices within the Reiki community. Tune in to her “Reiki Women Podcasts” for enriching conversations that bridge the gap between the esoteric and the everyday.

Reiki is... Divine
Reiki invites us to recognize that there is something greater than ourselves at work.
Not something distant, but something present in each breath, each moment, and each act of awareness.
The more we cultivate presence, the more we begin to notice the sacred woven through ordinary life.
What helps you connect with a sense of the divine?
YOUR PRACTICE
Open — Rest both hands open on your lap, palms facing up, and take one slow breath, offering yourself to something larger than you, like opening a window to the sky.
Receive — On your next exhale, let your palms awake and sense the world.
Honor — Rest in stillness for three soft breaths, letting yourself feel connected to that vastness within and around you, then gently bow your head in thanks before opening your eyes.

Enough of the riddles!
In 24 hours, something I've been growing in my creative Reiki garden will bloom.
Tomorrow, the Shūyō App arrives.
Your daily Reiki companion.
Shūyō means self-cultivation, and that's exactly what this Reiki app is for.
Each morning and evening, be guided through traditional Japanese Reiki practice: Japanese meditations, poetry contemplation, precept recitation and more, in the voice of me, Reiki author and teacher Bronwen Logan.
Inspired by the practice of Mikao Usui's Usui-kai and open to every lineage and level.
Short on time? Choose the shorter practice.
Like extra support? Play the fully guided version.
Every seven days brings a fresh practice, and a special treat: a midday pause offers a moment to breathe with a Reiki precept.
And with every day you practise, a blossom opens petal by petal. Watch your garden bloom, one day at a time.
It works on any phone or computer (no app store needed), for $8.95 a month. About the cost of one fancy cup of sencha tea.
And it opens tomorrow. I'll post the moment it's ready for you.
I can't wait to practise with you. 🌸

Question. Is it weird that I enjoy giving Reiki more than receiving it?
Ah, that's not weird. It's beautiful to work on yourself. And you know what Mikao Usui said? He said, you can't heal others if you don't heal yourself.
So always come back to this space of shosha. So, you know, practicing the training yourself. That's a Japanese word for practicing a committed practice.
Do it. And if you enjoy that, just stay with that. You don't need to do treatments on other people. The changes that you make to yourself by working on yourself will just naturally affect the world around you. Yeah. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you'd like to know more, come and join me at Shinpiden Plus online shinpidenplus.com

Most Reiki treatment research happens in hospitals or clinical settings. But most people receive Reiki treatments in private practice. This landmark study asked: what actually happens when people receive Reiki treatments in the real world, as normally practised — in a teacher’s studio or private practice?

We often celebrate the gifts of the system of Reiki but what about the parts we rarely talk about?
In this episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, we continue our Questions From a Hat series by exploring the emotional, mental, and personal costs that can accompany a long-term Reiki practice.
Through honest conversation (and a few playful props!), we reflect on the moments that have challenged us most, and the practices that have helped us keep showing up with compassion, courage, and integrity.
In this episode, we discuss:
✨ What to do after emotionally heavy sessions
✨ Working with your nervous system after holding space for others
✨ Doubting your practice—and finding trust again
✨ When clients experience profound shifts you never expected
✨ Reiki Undō and spontaneous movement during sessions
✨ Burnout, depression, and rebuilding resilience
✨ Teaching authentically while navigating criticism and self-doubt
✨ Why kindness, community, and support matter in the system of Reiki
Whether you're a longtime practitioner or simply curious about the realities of a healing path, this conversation offers an honest look at the challenges that often remain unseen.
💬 We'd love to hear from you: What has your practice taught you through its hardest moments?

The Breath of Reiki
What students and clients have to say about Reiki with Bronwen...
- 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
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 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
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 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

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 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
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
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.
Tiffany
- I really can’t imagine the existence of an online course this good anywhere! Thank you
Elizabeth
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
Bronwen, What a beautiful and informative manual!!!!! I just love it💕
Emma
- 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 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
I love how you demystify Reiki practice and make it practical without losing the reverence and sacredness.
Emma
- 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

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

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
- 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
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
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
