APOLOGIES EVERYONE, THE EVENT IS NOW FULL!

WEDNESDAY 12TH AUGUST AT 6.45 PM NEW MOON AND PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, PERSEID METEOR SHOWER AND LIONS GATE PORTAL MEDITATION AND RITUAL!
(SPECIAL GLASSES PROVIDED)
Wow so much is happening on the 12th August!!
The weather forecast is also currently warm with no rain, although we may have some cloud so fingers crossed that it clears for the new moon solar eclipse which is due to occur around 7.10pm.
In addition, the Perseid meteor shower, one of the brightest and fastest meteor showers, is currently active and will be almost at its peak (its peak occurs on the 13th). In perfect dark sky conditions (which will, of course, be more likely to be around when we finish the meditation) we might be able to see 60 to 100 meteors per hour.
And if the new moon, solar eclipse and meteor shower isn’t enough, we will also still be within the Lion’s Gate 8/8 Portal; the opening of a gate that delivers high-frequency energy, which can be used to open our energy centres, inspire new ideas, raise our consciousness as well as enhance our psychic ability.

A big thank you to everyone who joined me for the Full Moon event on the 28th July and my apologies to those who couldn't attend, as all available places were quickly taken.

We know Reiki as the healing method founded by Mikao Usui Sensei (Usui Reiki). However, the original Japanese nuance of "Reiki" is actually a sensation of sacred energy breathing through nature itself. This post from Mamoru Wakatake, who is a member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Japan, talks about this in the post below. I'm sure you will find this interesting. I also send healing to Mamoru's father.

Post from Mamoru:
To pray for my father's recovery, I made a pilgrimage to Mt. Daisen in Tottori Prefecture, a sacred peak with a profound history.

Founded over 1,300 years ago in 718 AD, Mt. Daisen has long been a centre for Shugendo (ancient Japanese mountain asceticism). For centuries, Shinto and Buddhism were deeply intertwined here, until they were separated into the Tendai sect's Daisen-ji Temple and Ogamiyama Shrine during the Meiji era.

I walked up the longest natural stone-paved path in Japan, reaching an altitude of 900 meters amidst cold rain and fierce winds. When I looked up, the view through the Torii gate, shrouded in thick mist, felt exactly like staring into another dimension. As you can see in the attached photo, the ancient wooden buildings themselves were faintly blurred by the mountain fog, creating an overwhelming silence entirely detached from the modern world.

In Japan, we have long described this kind of atmosphere—the crisp, sacred, and mystical air filling deep, untouched mountains—as being filled with "Reiki".

For most people outside of Japan, the word "Reiki" is known exclusively as the healing method founded by Mikao Usui Sensei (Usui Reiki). However, the original Japanese nuance of "Reiki" refers to this very sensation: the subtle, pristine, and profoundly sacred energy breathing through nature itself. While Usui Sensei's Reiki is a specific therapeutic practice, standing amidst the raw, natural "Reiki" of this ancient mountain deeply purifies the soul.

I drew an omikuji (fortune slip) at the shrine and received "Daikichi" (Great Blessing), the highest possible fortune. In that misty, otherworldly space, I felt a gentle warmth, as if the divine presence was encouraging me.

The Reiki principles teach us: "Do not worry." Entrusting my prayers to the majestic, natural Reiki of this mountain, I will continue to treat my father with a peaceful and unwavering heart.

This post is a little bit about Wednesday’s Full Moon which falls under Libra and I have also recorded a short meditation and ritual you can do on Wednesday evening which includes sending a prayer to help with all the terrible things that are currently going on in the world.

April holds some of the most motivating and fast-moving energy we have seen in a while with lots of fiery, motivating and action-fuelled energy pushing us to get things done, set goals, and go after our dreams.

This productive energy is likely to infuse its way into all of our lives throughout the month, but the Libra Full Moon on 1st April offers us a release point as a gentle pause, a moment to stop, cleanse, and prepare a pathway for this fertile and fiery energy to flow through what’s to come. It asks us to clear and release all that feels heavy, all that is no longer serving us, and all that needs to fall away so we can move forward with greater ease and intention.

It’s time to have a conversation with yourself about what is holding you down or keeping you stuck or limited and then take decisive action. It’s not a time to hold yourself back, play small, or remain in indecision. The time has come to make a choice, to be clear about what you want.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is activated under this Full Moon, and it’s likely that whatever is expanded will be exactly what needs our attention. Jupiter is considered a positive, abundant force in our cosmic skies, so look for opportunities to find the light, even if just a glimmer, and focus on what you can do to make the best of the situation. Step into your confidence and trust your instincts. No more second-guessing, no more settling for second-best or paths that don’t feel aligned on a soul level. This is a time to stand up for yourself, speak your truth, and perhaps even take a small, brave leap of faith.

However, because the Full Moon falls in Libra which is the sign of weighing things up and considering others, there can be a natural push-pull between these energies. The fire within us wants to move forward boldly and put ourselves first, while Libra gently encourages us to pause, reflect, and take others into account so finding a balance will be key. Allow the Full Moon to illuminate what needs your attention, to reveal what may have been hidden, and to help you consider all possibilities. From there, you can move forward with greater confidence when the timing feels right.

The Libra Full Moon also carries a beautiful energy for peace and unity. We need this now more than ever, and even small moments of intention, whether through meditation, reflection, or quiet awareness, can help ripple this energy outward.

Sometimes it can be hard to feel like we are making an impact, but for those of you who have done Reiki courses with me you know how powerful intention can be and we can all draw on the balanced and fair energy of Libra, to send out prayers of peace, hope, and love to all those who need it.

Before you start the Ritual and Meditation you will need:
• An aura Cleansing tool – maybe a selenite stick, some palo santo or a smudging stick but don’t worry if you don’t have any of those as we can use intention - however, if using palo santo or a smudging stick light it in readiness for the start and also remember to have a container of sand nearby so that you can put it out safely
• A pen and two pieces of paper
• A meditation cushion or mat, or simply somewhere you can sit comfortably

Hi wishing everyone a very happy and healthy 2026.🌟🌀

I thought my students might like to see this photo which includes both Dr Mikao Usui (the founder of Reiki) and Dr Chujiro Hayashi (no 2 in our lineage).

According to the caption of this photo, it was taken 100 years ago, on January 16, 1926 and reading the kanji script from right to left, it states that the photo is of all of the Shinshin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryōhō "reiju-sha" (people who could give reiju, the precursor to Reiki initiations/attunements) at that time.

Less than two months later, Dr Usui (1865–1926) would make his transition. He is on the second row, third from the left.
Dr Hayashi (c. 1880–1940) (2nd in our lineage) who initiated Mrs Takata (third in our lineage and who brought Reiki to the West) is far left on the front row.

100 years later, the number of Reiki Master Teachers has grown dramatically, from these 21 Japanese men to likely tens of thousands worldwide which does, of course, now include many women too😊

I would like to give massive thanks and gratitude to these pioneers of Reiki, as well as to Justin B Stein for sharing this information and his efforts to better understand the roots of our practice.
