Tonight in The Reiki Dojo we gathered for practice.

Its a place where students can keep practising after their training days and feel supported as Reiki begins to become part of everyday life.

Reiki can't be learned in two days and then left in a manual, it needs tending to anf tonight felt really special, warm and full of love.

Thank you to everyone who joined me. It is a joy to keep walking this path with you 🙏

Shoden for me is the most important level of Reiki. It is where everything begins and also where everything changes for the better in yourself health and life.

This is not just Reiki 1, Shoden is the foundation of the whole system of Usui Reiki Ryoho and It is where we begin to understand Reiki as a powerful daily practice, not only something we use with our hands, but something that absolutely shapes the way we meet ourselves, our lives and others.

A rainbow never stays for long, it appears, we witness it and then it fades back.

This is such a beautiful reminder of impermanence. Nothing needs to be held too tightly to be meaningful. Some moments are here to be received, felt, appreciated and then allowed to pass.

The rainbow does not lose its beauty because it disappears. It teaches us to be present 🌈

When Reiki is Enough, and Why Silence Matters

Wednesday 23rd July
6.15pm to 9.15pm, UK time
Live on Zoom, with recording available afterwards
£35

This teaching evening is open to anyone who feels drawn to understand Reiki beyond standard technique, way beyond noise and the constant need to fill space with words and explanations.

In the system of Usui Reiki Ryoho, silence is not empty. It is part of the deeper practice. It is where we learn to listen, to observe, show true compassion, to meet the body honestly and to stop interfering with the natural intelligence of Reiki.

This evening will be a deep teaching space for practitioners, students and anyone who wants to understand when Reiki itself is enough and why our presence, ethics, steadiness and sensitivity matter so much.

You will receive:

A 3 hour live teaching evening
Access to the recording
A 60 page manual
Deep teachings rooted in Usui Reiki Ryōhō
Space for reflection, practice and integration

This is for you if you are tired of over-complicated Reiki and feel ready to meet the practice and your clients with more depth, humility and trust.

Refreshed and ready for a full day of Reiki treatments 🤍

The rest of my week feels beautifully full too, two days teaching Shoden, a Reiki Dojo Share, and some much-needed time in nature in-between.

I feel very grateful to live and work with Reiki in this way, not just as something I offer, but as something that shapes my days, my teaching, my practice and the way I meet people.

Happy Wednesday everyone, I hope your day gives you a few moments to breathe, pause and feel steady within yourself 🤍

A short offering of Reiki 🤍

Reiki is not something I switch on for a video, it is part of how I live, practise and teach. My hope is that even a small pause like this helps your system relax, breathe a little easier and feel held for a moment.

Receive only what feels right for you.

Good morning everyone and welcome to your new week. Here's a little reminder as we begin again 🤍

You do not have to arrive into this week perfectly balanced, fully organised or already knowing how everything is going to workout.

Some weeks begin with clarity, some begin with tiredness, some begin with a deep breath and the decision to just take the next honest step forward in your day.

In Reiki, we practise coming back to the present moment through the Gokai:

Just for today, not the whole year, not the whole path and not everything all at once.

Just today, place your hand on the heart, have a nice slower, cup of tea, a kind word to yourself and a moment to remember that you are allowed to move through life with care, not pressure.

May this week meet you with steadiness, support and little signs of light along the way 🤍

Love, Leanne

Just left Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey, and my heart feels full 🙏

Days like this remind me why I practise and teach Reiki the way I do.

For me, Reiki has never been just a treatment or something I pick up only when I am working with clients. Reiki is a way of living, a path of self cultivation, refinement and a daily practice of coming back to the precepts, compassion, discipline and humility.

Being an Usui Reiki Ryōhō teacher is something I hold with deep care and passion. Not as a title to wear, but as a responsibility.

The more I study Reiki, Buddhism, Japanese spiritual practice and the roots of Usui Mikao’s teachings, the more I understand that Reiki was never meant to be rushed, diluted, made theatrical, or reduced into something surface level like we have done in the west.

It asks something of us. It asks us to practise and to look honestly at ourselves and to live the teachings, not just speak about them.

Today, being in a Zen Buddhist Abbey, surrounded by stillness, bells, practice, devotion and simplicity, I felt again how closely Reiki belongs to this kind of inner work.

This is why my Reiki training is not just about where to put your hands. It is about becoming steady enough, compassionate enough and clear enough to hold space for yourself and others with respect.

I am very grateful to walk this path 🙏
