A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Greenbelt - Essex County's Land Trust and a BIG THANK YOU to the Rich Family and all who contributed to this endeavor! 😊

This parcel adds to the Chebacco Woods in Hamilton and is near our 'Healing and Retreat Center.'

Research shows that 'Green and Blue 'spaces are important for our health and wellbeing. We are so lucky to have so much conservation land here in Massachusetts.

Join us for a peaceful Solstice Ceremony Sunday at our Reiki Share, as we celebrate Winter Solstice.

The Solstice is a good time for reflection whether alone or with others. The solstice has been vital to Native Americans and other cultures as a time of deep spiritual connection, marking natural cycles, renewal, and the interconnectedness of all life. Ceremonies focused on gratitude, honoring ancestors, community bonding, and praying for balance and abundance, especially as the sun's return promises growth and hope after the longest night (winter solstice) or marks the peak of life's energy (summer solstice).

After a rigorous four-month fundraising campaign, Greenbelt has raised the $3.7 million needed to permanently protect 66 acres of ecologically significant land at 133 Essex Street in Hamilton, adjacent to Chebacco Woods.

Looking forward to our weekend Chuden Level 2 Reiki Training! Room for 1 more. Registration will end at end of day today.

After this training, those attending will be able to join Inamoto Hyakuten-sensei and others for his monthly on-line Reiki Gatherings. For on-line Reiki Gatherings, we join Komyo ReikiDo Practitioners Level 2 and higher to share in our practice, Shuchu ('concentrated') Reiki, hear Sensei's wisdom teaching and have an opportunity for Q&A with Sensei. All for FREE.

Note: No Reiju (attunements) are offered in these on-line Reiki Gatherings. In the Komyo ReikiDo Tradition, ALL Reiju, including 'Open Reiju,' are meant to be "offered in-person, face-to-face, while sharing the same energy space." — Hyakuten-sensei

Sensei has been extremely generous with his time for these gatherings, for which we are most grateful. ~ Kansha sh*te

Tomorrow I will be practicing Reiki on-line with my Reiki teacher, Inamoto Hyakuten-sensei. I am so grateful to have this ongoing opportunity. Wehave an opportunity to offer and receive Reiki in community, ask Sensei questions about our practice, and hear his life ‘wisdom’ statements.

As a Reiki teacher, it is very important to offer regular practice venue for students, for their ongoing growth and development in their practice.

Ever since I began teaching Reiki in 2001, I have offered Reiki Clinics/Reiki Shares as practice venue for my students as well as a way for people to experience Reiki ‘by donation.’  First weekly, at Addison Gilbert Hospital in Gloucester.  Then, monthly in Manchester-by-the-sea MA.

Our monthly Reiki Clinics/Reiki Shares continue at our peaceful, private retreat center North of Boston.

For the Americas and Australasian timezones.
For Komyo ReikiDo practitioners (Level 2 and up) & Komyo Reiki Do teachers.

Please note the date changes.

Upcoming KRD Gathering dates:
***SUNDAY 2nd November, 9am Kyoto time
***Saturday 13th december, 9am Kyoto time

Please email KRD International for details and eligibility.

We had not had Reiki Shares on Zoom since the pandemic. Recently, thanks to students in our Maine training, we resumed 'hybrid' style of some on Zoom and some in person for Reiki Clinic/Reiki Share.

Wonderful groups from Maine, Arizona and Massachusetts joined in for our Komyo ReikiDo style Reiki Share, new to some attendees.

We were honored by the presence and wonderful stories told by a long-time students of John Harvey Gray and one of their Reiki Masters who attended. John Gray was one of Takata Sensei's original 22 Reiki Masters (Teachers). Talking about John's trainings, "John was strict about the hand positions." As was Hawayo Takata-sensei, who brought Reiki to the West via Hawaii.

Komyo ReikiDo, a 'Keep it Simple' Reiki System is less strict about hand positions. While we begin with formal hand positions when 1st learning, we learn to offer reiki through the skills of developing the sense of and experience of 'Hibikki and Byosen,' with various sensations (which can be warm, hot, cold, tingling, pulsing, bubbling, dense/heavy, pain, etc) felt in the hands and from the body. Until one develops those skills, working with standard hand positions and going by time, is best.

This weekend we have smaller, international group in our Reiki Share/Reiki Clinic, with again, wonderful group energy. Some are brand new to Reiki. Some experienced. Some in-person, some on-line. All enjoying the experience of self-guided Reiki meditation practice, the Gokai (Reiki Precepts), Mawashi (Reiki Circle), receiving Komyo ReikiDo Open Reiju (Reiju only offered for our in-person attendees). All receiving a Reiki Session, experiencing the shared energy, peace, comfort and calm. Grateful for all those who come to my Reiki Trainings and Shares/Clinics ...

This weekend Shoden Level Reiki Training continues today, Day 2, 9:30 am - 5:30 pm. With a Reiki Share/Reiki Clinic afterwards 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Advance Registration required for all our events.

Beautiful weekend weather for our training, allowing us to be outdoors for some of class and receiving Reiju. More on that later.

Next Chuden Level 2 Reiki Training -

❤ 11/22 and 11/23 in South Hamilton MA
❤ 12/13 and 12/14 in Greene Maine

Whenever you come to our 'Healing Sanctuary and Retreat Center' for Meditation, Reiki Clinics/Reiki Shares Reiki Sessions, or Reiki Trainings ... , arrive 15 minutes early or stay 15 minutes after to enjoy the surround nature. There are several meditation benches, an angel garden and field pathway, for a stroll or walking meditation. Sturdy shoes or boots are recommended, due to potential wet grass, mud or deer droppings. Note: Bug/tick spray is recommended for the field walk and avoid the woods.

Be sure to take time to 'visit' the hinoki tree, planted for its beauty as well as healing benefits. Plus, it evokes our memories of walking Japanese forests on Mount Kurama and Mount Koya-san, spiritual mountains in Japan. The Japanese Kanji on Hinoki wood block was made by our friend Ohara Chika-san, whose Ryokan I stayed at in 2011. She and her sister have gifted me these wood blocks and beautiful origami, to share with my students and patients.

Background In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the physiological effects of nature-derived stimulation. The physiological relaxation effects caused by forest-derived olfactory stimuli have been demonstrated. However, there are no studies on the physiological effects of olfactory s...

I LOVE Inamoto Hyakuten-Sensei's Teachings of Usui Reiki Ryoho. His 'Keep It Simple' style of Reiki Practice has fit in very well with my Hospital Reiki Practice. Sensei travels internationally to teach and I follow him, whenever I can. I attended his trainings in NYC 5 times. There I met and made life-long friendships. NYC is so fun and vibrant; a microcosm of the entire world. Sensei's classes also reflect that. This video is from his 2019 NYC Shinpiden (Teacher) Training.

During the class, he received his 1st teddy bear from Komyo ReikiDo Shihan Cathy Pascale. Sensei teaches us that when offering 'Distance Reiki,' we "can use our lap, a photo or even a teddy bear."

Some of those who attended this 2019 NYC class joined me in Sedona 2022 and 2024. Wonderful reunions! Now, they will be joining me in Kauai Hawaii for Hyakuten-sensei's March 2026 Komyo ReikiDo Reiki Shinpiden Training.

This 1st-time training in Hawaii will be very interesting and memorable, combing Reiki Ryoho with Hawaiian Rainbows, Mana and Aloha Spirt. 😎
