The altar in itself has an old tradition, including the “house altar”. In all cultures and mostly in a religious context. It is a place of celebration and worship, seat of God or the gods, ancestors and much more. In connection with the place of sacrifice, the altar is seen as the cradle of today’s money. But I digress.

The German original of this article is full of irony and word play. The humorous and tongue-in-cheek text serves to announce in an easy-reading kind of way that we have implemented the EU’s GDPR. Continue reading “General Date Protection Regulation (GDPR)”
Warmth, sun, quiet, beach and sea, offered by “the” island. And we offer seminars! Not at Easter as usual because it is very early and it is chilly cold even on Sikinos. Okay, not as icy as here right now. Continue reading “Longing for Warmth”
Often the effect (e. g. of Reiki) is disparagingly explained with “placebo”. Only to present a drug that is loaded with pharmaceutical chemistry as the only remedy. Interesting! This only questions the state of mind of the person addressed – but not the effecttivenesss of the drug! Continue reading “Placebo, Nocebo – so what?”
Overcoming time and space is esoteric nonsense, isn’t it? No, says a study and shows an astonishing – because retroactive – result: significantly shorter stay in hospital and shorter duration of fever in patients with bloodstream infection.

Every 120th practitioner becomes a master. Thus, by no means everyone. Anyhow, this statistic says little and is only our very own. In any case, we are very pleased: in November Angelika Renate Weise completed the Reiki teacher (Master) training. The video is a collage of the graduation ceremony.
The guests were friends, daughter, their teacher and dog. Especially the parents were impressive. Full of admiration the father embraces his daughter and is amazed that his daughter who holds a doctorate in chemistry “… for body and soul…” but look for yourself:

Thank you for your trust, dear Angelika.

7 years ago the “harbour for visitors of all Reiki-origins” was opened. The founder built on Reiki international, added Organisation and thus formed RIO. In a time and spirit of inclusivity it was an act of liberation. Now, RIO ceases their activity by end of 2017. Continue reading “Reiki International Organisation – RIO closes its doors”
As a Reiki teacher I hear this question regularly. Often men constitute only 10%, 20% of the participants in a Reiki seminar. Maybe this is why this photo has found such attention in the social media.
The picture was taken on the 21st October at the Reiki Festival in Gersfeld. It shows men from Holland, Germany and Switzerland. More significant than their geographic origin is the accord with which they stand together, have worked and celebrated with each other representing Jikiden Reiki, Gendai Reiki Ho and Usui Shiki Ryoho.
From left: Ekart Sohns who has led most amusingly through the variety show in the evening. Jojan Jonker gave important presentations on Masters‘ Day (Initiation) and at the festival (2022, future). Next is Nico Michielsen, co-organiser and -presenter of the event. Fokke Brink spoke about the past and prepared the ground for the future. I had an opportunity to present my next Interview-Doku. Then there is Gerd Knieps, reliable pillar and support and Oliver Drewes who presented himself as publisher and author of Holistika.
May positive male creativeness come to fruition elsewhere in life, too.

A summary of … “PR experiences”
Paradox! Oftentimes Reiki people complain that Reiki is not adequately recognised by the public, that hospitals do not incorporate Reiki sufficiently and that politicians do not have Reiki on their agendas. And then there are journalists and medical doctors who say: “You don’t show yourself enough!” Continue reading “Don’t hide!”
In February the The Treasure Trove – the-video-archive was released. They are a central piece of Reiki-history and a work of reference as well as a source of inspiration. Now also without Internet-connection!
