Often, people think that Reiki practitioners have a particular predisposition for healing, or that they already possess a special energy or quality that allows them to practice.

Furthermore, what is called “attunement,” especially in the Western world, is sometimes associated with a kind of activation that supposedly makes you instantly enlightened. In reality Reiju is the beginning of your personal path or development within the practice.

But these are myths that developed when Reiki arrived in the Western world, often reinforcing the idea that certain people possess the “real knowledge” and are therefore entitled to pass on the correct lineage.

The reality is that every single person can practice Reiki. Reiki practitioners are not necessarily special or selected beings. They are, for the most part, people who, through constant practice, perseverance, mistakes and experimentation, gradually develop a high level of effectiveness in their own self-practice and in working with others.

There is no teacher who can simply pass enlightenment on to you.

Instead, there are teachers who can walk alongside you, support your practice, and help you discover what becomes possible as your own practice grows stronger.

And yes, ultimately, we may all be seeking happiness and peace. Through practice, we can move closer to both.

So, you are welcome to discover how you can begin practicing for yourself.

You might be amazed by what you discover.

What narcissistic abuse is about: my experience and how I transformed it into an empowered way of being, not only for myself but for others too 🙏❤️

The people who come into our lives can make us realise just how important it is to trust what we feel. ❤️

If something doesn’t feel right for us, we always have the power to walk away. Because when we make space for what is no longer meant for us, something better can find its way in.

Sometimes we meet people who are narcissistic, manipulative, or simply incapable of honouring our presence. And once you have seen those behaviours for what they truly are, they can be kind of impossible to forget. Not because you want to hold on to them, but because you can never unsee what you experienced.

Our society is changing, and especially women are becoming more conscious of what disrespect looks like. We are learning to recognise manipulation, emotional depletion, boundary-crossing, and the subtle ways people can make us question our own reality.

Honouring our presence is one of the first qualities we look for in the people we choose to have around us.

We have every right to say “goodbye” whenever something no longer feels right. We don’t need to convince anyone, explain ourselves endlessly, or wait for someone else to validate what we already know within ourselves.

We know what is meant for us—and what is depleting our being.

Trust your knowing. Trust your intuition. And don’t be afraid to leave people behind when they no longer belong in your life. Sometimes walking away isn’t a loss. It is the moment you finally choose yourself. ❤️✨

Usui Reiki Ryōhō and channeling are not the same practice.

Usui Reiki Ryōhō is based on resonance. Through consistent practice, training, and specific techniques, the practitioner develops the ability to enter and maintain resonance with Reiki energy, both for personal practice and when working with others.

As Reiki spread in the West after World War II, it became increasingly influenced by and combined with different healing and energetic practices. Today, Reiki is sometimes described as a form of channeling.

I studied channeling in 2023 out of curiosity, wanting to understand the technique from within. After years of personal experience, I now see a fundamental difference.

In channeling, the practitioner prepares to become an empty vessel for information perceived as coming from an external source—through words, images, signs, sensations, or other forms of expression.

In Usui Reiki Ryōhō, we do not become a vessel or receive messages. We maintain our sense of self, empty the mind, and remain in resonance with Reiki, entering the meditative/contemplative state known as Munen Musō 無念無想.

We are not transmitting information. We are listening to the body-mind system and applying Reiki through the techniques we have learned and an accurate diagnosis that can be done in the advanced stages of training.

Reiki is the information itself. It does not need to be interpreted—it needs to be directed through practice, presence, and study.

And this is why experience matters:

Through practice, we have experiences.
Through experiences, we find our own answers.
