When Should One Progress to the Next Reiki Level
By:
Stas Bekman
Friday, Nov 25, 2011
A question any Reiki practitioner has to ask herself at some point in time is how long to wait before the next Reiki level training should be undertaken. For example one person asked at a Reiki forum: I have been for my Reiki I attunement in February and my Master sent me a letter about Reiki II classes in July! I would really love to book in for it but just wondering would this be too quick just after getting attuned to Reiki I a few months ago? To be honest I hadn't been doing Reiki as must as I should have after the first month but am doing more self treatments lately. The more I think ...

Getting Sick After Receving a Reiki Attunement
By:
Stas Bekman
Friday, Nov 25, 2011
A newly-attuned Reiki practitioner asked on one of the Reiki forums: Could someone tell me if this is just a coincidence or not? I had my Reiki 1 attunements back in March this year and as soon as the master finished with the attunements, I got a terrible sore throat which then turned into a horrid cold that lasted for 2 months - I just couldn't get rid of it. I even had to have a chest x-ray as the coughing wouldn't ease off. I know it happened a while ago now, but I keep thinking about whether it was related at all to the attunements and if so why?! I must admit I've never had a cold ...

Various Interesting Reiki Experiences from Reiki Forums

Thursday, Nov 24, 2011
Experience #1 One of my co-worker was feel really depressed and very disoriented in life. I can read this guy rather easily. I could feel and sense that their was something attached to him causing this pain and depression. I offered Reiki to him to help heal the depression on the mental level and some of the traumatic past experiences that he has been through. As soon as I started the session I could feel the weight of the depression and pain. About 2 minutes into the session a spirit came to me that was attaching on to my co workers energy. I talked to this spirit for along time. The person ...

How Reiki can Impact One's Life
By:
Stas Bekman
Thursday, Nov 24, 2011
Here is an inspiring story of an anonymous person of how Reiki impacted his life (written in 2003): I got involved with some Hare Krisna stuff - that got me into Transcendental Meditation (TM). I studied Yoga, Taichi, Chi Gong, but something was missing. At around 30 my past came and bit me on the ass and I started fearing the future of my relationship with my long-term girlfriend which wasn't right and i wanted to hit the spiritual path but i was scared to commit to God fully. I was on holiday in Thailand reading a newspaper and saw an ad for A Reiki Training that said: Is your life going ...

Can Reiki Cause a Sexual Arousal?
By:
Stas Bekman
Thursday, Nov 24, 2011
Reading some old Reiki forums I found this interesting thread: "I hate for this to sound as if I'm using Reiki for something other than what it is, or making me sound sick or something, but i have a quick bothersome question at hand, as it were. Every time I do Reiki and pass large amounts of energy, i become sexually aroused, resulting in an erection. I don't know why this is...and it's not that i think of anything sexual or provocative during the transmission, it happens when i see my energies connecting to the Reiki energy being channeled through the void.....can anyone help here? or give ...

How to Get Your Business Cards for Free

Tuesday, Nov 15, 2011
Running a small business can be tough, especially in the current economy conditions where clients aren’t easy to come by, so keeping your expenses to the minimum is a certain way to improve your bottom line. When it comes to promotional materials, one could spend a lot of money there. And business cards are usually the most commonly used way to promote one’s business. It’s the magic handshake protocol most entrepreneurs are so familiar with: “What do you do?” “I’m a Registered Massage Therapist. What about you?” “I’m a Reiki Master, ...

The Mysterious Story of 120-Year Old Swami Bua (Buaji)
By:
Stas Bekman
Wednesday, Nov 09, 2011
The photo you are looking at is a swami who this year will be 112 years old. The discovery of Swami Bua, also known as Swami Buaji, is a mysterious one. I first met the swami prior to coming to Krsna consciousness in 1975, as I was curious about yoga and eastern meditation. I was 28 years old at the time. The swami, by my calculations, must have been at least in his 80's. The other day a devotee friend of mine in Canada emailed me that the swami was still alive and teaching yoga in New York City, much to my shock. My first response was that he would have to be over 100 years old and that was ...

Should You Push Your Client Into Booking the Next Appointment with You or Not
By:
Stas Bekman
Tuesday, Nov 01, 2011
Many years ago when I was just starting to explore the energy healing modalities as a client, I used to go to a Reiki practitioner who was a wonderful healer and who helped me a lot in my healing process. The only thing that frustrated me was that at the end of each session, while i was putting my shoes on, she would come out with her big calendar and say something like "How does next Tuesday at 2pm look for you"? I wasn't really given a chance to go home and think when I'd like to come next if at all, but I was actively "sold to" at the exit point. At some point she mentioned that she's ...

How to Develop Confidence in Reiki Practice
By:
Stas Bekman
Thursday, Sep 03, 2009
Since Reiki involves no manual skill (as compared to massage, acupuncture and other similar hands-on modalities), it can be quite difficult to develop confidence in one's practice. Especially if you don't have your clairvoyant, clairaudient and similar abilities developed. Things are even more difficult for Reiki practitioners like myself, who come from an engineering or a scientific background, where we were used to have some kind of metrics to measure things. And of course results of your practice might be very subtle and effects could start to happen days and weeks after the healing ...

How to Make Your Business Come Up First in Google Search
By:
Stas Bekman
Tuesday, Sep 01, 2009
Most people are unaware of this neat feature that Google provides, but have you noticed that when you search for a business, sometimes Google will show a specific business on the map at the very top of the search results? Let’s take a concrete example. My company’s name is StasoSphere, which resides in Vancouver and besides other things that I do in this life I’m a Reiki practitioner (which is an energy-based healing modality). Now let’s search google for ‘Reiki Vancouver’, which most prospective clients would type in to find a Reiki practitioner in ...
