Hear me in conversation with Phyllis Furumoto
Phyllis Furumoto interviewed me last summer for her internet radio show "Reiki: Balancing Form and Essence" which is broadcast on www.7th Wave Network. We talked specifically about Reiki community and Reiki as a public practice - including current developments in the UK with regard to Reiki practitioners working publicly. If you would like to hear it please CLICK HERE.
I was honoured to be invited to talk with her again recently about my own healing journey with Reiki. It was broadcast live on 20th August and you can find it on the 7th Wave Network website.
Phyllis has dome many very interesting interviews for her programme, so I encourage you to find her programme on the 7th Wave Network website: look for the Phyllis Lei Furumoto programme 'Reiki: Balancing Form and Essence'
The programme has now moved to a new website: http://www.reikitalkshow.com/
Live Video Streaming Event with Phyllis Furumoto
On 14 March 2009 Phyllis offered a live video event via the web for the first time, so that students all over the world could join her for the day to explore their Reiki practise. You can still view if you were not able to join her on 14 March. For all the details click here.
Video about Reiki in a Hospital
Here is a video about the use of Reiki at University College Hospital, London (UK) for patients with cancer. Click Here to watch. It includes interviews with staff and patients and shows how Reiki helps people emotionally as well as physically.Help for your Animal
In addition to offering Reiki to people, I also treat animals. I am also trained as an Animal Communicator, which can be very helpful when there is a problem. If you would like to know how I could help you with your animal please click here.
Shopping!

Treatment Couches
I am often asked about how to choose a treatment couch. My own couch is a Starlight, which is very light and portable. It was a big investment, but I have found it well worth the money. There is a useful article about choosing a couch on their website: http://mirrormill.com/cgi-bin/clientdev/starlight/choosing.htmlOne thing to bear in mind when choosing a couch for giving Reiki is that you need to be able to sit comfortably at the end: many massage couches have some kind of blockage at the end, usually a support strut, making it impossible to get your knees under the couch. This can be very uncomfortable and you need to think about taking care of your back by having the best posture, not twisting or leaning too much. (For more help with posture for Reiki Treatments there is the 'Tai Chi for Reiki Practitioners' workshop in May).
