It’s Sunday morning, a good week before Christmas. A wonderful peace prevails. Continue reading “Treasure hunt on the balcony”

Again and again it amazes me to see how children deal with Reiki. As a matter of course and at the same time full of curiosity. Continue reading “Children and Reiki”

Dear readers and friends,

I just watched a segment of RTalk first thing this morning. It is called ‘Passion’ with Eri and Fokke, both Reiki Masters, she Japanese, he Dutch. And both do and live calligraphy with great enthusiasm.

They describe a state they each experience when practicing their art form. A state of being, a state that could perhaps also be called Tao. Only, “if you can describe Tao, it is no longer Tao”.
I know this being very well, know this state when painting. I even titled a painting “The void”, a void that is not only empty but also very full of consciousness or unconsciousness. Does that make any sense at all?

I am also an Ikebana master, and during the process of becoming an Ikebana, exactly this state arises, where simply nothing else matters, where the path is the goal. But it is also very moving to see the result of this process of creation in the form of a “flower arrangement”.

What does this have in common with Reiki? For me, a lot, because we can also experience this absolutely sacred and healing state during self-treatment. When everything around stands still, or disappears as if in a fog. Our being needs this state on all levels, especially in these very demanding times.

I wish us all this inner stillness. If not always, then more and more often?

A luminous Christmas season and an enriching, happy new year,

Namaste.

Mischa

PS: when I was making my Advent wreath I was exactly in this “middle”, that’s how you can also call the silence.

Tao: Mischa quotes the first sentence of the Tao te ching, one of the most important writings of mankind from the 4th century before Christ, which deals with Yin and Yang and their interaction.
Ikebana: the Japanese art of flower arranging. Ikebana literally means ‘living flower’.

Rarely the topic is Reiki, but always with Reiki personalities. We talk about God and the world. With down-to-earthness and depth, with subtle and profound seriousness – and not without irony and laughter: RTalks Continue reading “Spiritual, philosophical ‘R’ conversations”

Peter Koenig, has been an influence in Reiki circles for years. As the author of 30 lies about money he first spoke at a Reiki congress in 2012. At the same time he developed awareness of “source”, the principles of which influenced Reiki organisations profoundly. Now a book about this has been published. Continue reading “The Source Consciousness”

Is it a non-verifiable service and therefore may not be charged? And how can this be solved? Continue reading “Paid absentee treatment against the law?”

Sense and nonsense of Reiki organizations.

First of all: I remain friendly inclined towards associations. Especially if they are of an inclusive character and bring different Reiki styles to one table. For me this includes a conciliatory quality, a topic I like to devote myself to. Continue reading “Goodbye Reiki Associations”

This pandemic has probably taken almost all of us quite by surprise, and often it has overwhelmed us. I was shocked, and also the thought of not being able to give any more seminars was very worrying. Continue reading “Online lessons super! A field report.”
