❤️My new Reiki 1 students finished their 21 day Reiki Detox ( after the Sept 20th) class. So proud of them. Together I’ll give them their Reiki 1 graduation certificates on Oct 25th at Gloria's Pupuseria. Love that restaurant!

❤️What gives me happiness about their journeys: REIKI gives them a way to inject some spiritual joy and faith into their lives.
Students use Hatsurei-Ho routine and the Reiki 5 principles as guidance :

❤️Hatsurei-Ho is a meditation and energy practice from Japanese Reiki (credited to Mikao Usui) used for daily centering and for building sensitivity to ki. Reciting the five principles (the Gokai) is typically part of it, and the two together are meant to work on both the energetic and the ethical side of practice.

What Hatsurei-Ho involves

• Kenyoku (dry brushing): Brushing the hands down across the shoulders and arms to "clear" and reset
• Joshin Kokyu Ho: Breath meditation, often with the hands at the lap, drawing ki into the lower abdomen (hara) and spreading it through the body
• Gassho meditation: Palms together at the heart, with focus on the point where the middle fingers touch
• Seishin Toitsu: Focused attention and visualization, sometimes with Reiju or Reiki symbols depending on lineage
• Gokai: Reciting the five principles, then closing with gassho

❤️The five principles (wording varies by lineage)

• Just for today, do not anger
• Just for today, do not worry
• Be grateful
• Work with diligence
• Be kind to others

What it's said to do

• Calms the mind and builds concentration
• Strengthens your felt sense of ki and your ability to channel it
• Grounds you before self-treatment or sessions
• Turns the principles into a daily reminder, so the practice shapes attitude and not only technique

🔥Join us for Reiki Share in November after I take my first Acupunture Board exam - intention: To be able to sustain my massage and energy practice with an added tool - Acupuncture !

A reiki share is, in many ways, a living expression of ikigai — that quiet intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what brings you a sense of purpose. When you sit in circle, offering healing hands to someone else, you're practicing something the world genuinely needs — comfort, presence, care — while also nourishing your own soul, since giving reiki tends to fill you up as much as it does the person receiving it. The community that gathers around a reiki share isn't there by obligation; it's there because something in each person recognizes this as their thing, however small or quiet that recognition might be. And in that shared, unhurried space — no hustle, no performance, just presence — you get a rare glimpse of ikigai in its truest form: not a grand, singular calling, but the simple, repeated act of showing up to do something meaningful, together, that reminds you why you're here.
