QOTW – What Is Your Reiki Experience Level?
I’m a 4 and have been since 2006 when I received my Level I Reiki training.
One of the best days of my life was when my Reiki Master Teacher asked if I wanted to train to become a Reiki Master Teacher, which I did in 2007.
I fell in love with Reiki, with all the blessings it has brought to my life, and to the lives of so many people I know. I express my gratitude for it every day when I send distance Reiki during meditation, while giving myself Reiki.
If you’re a 1, 2, or 3, here’s my definition of what Reiki is.
If you’re a 4, I’m sending you a virtual high five!
Thanks for the time we spent together today,
Gina

Spotlight: Distance Reiki
Reiki practitioners generally believe that all things are made of a form of energy. If that energy isn’t balanced, the person, animal, plant, or what have you, doesn’t feel right. That’s when a Reiki practitioner could be called on to help the receiver put the energy back into balance. I am also fond of calling it a relaxation therapy because that is the effect it has on me when I receive it.
A distance Reiki session can take place in person, over the phone, or even on the other side of the Earth with no physical contact between the sender and the receiver; which brings me to the subject of this post.
How well does distance Reiki really work? If you call me for help with something that is bothering you, whether the bother is a physical, mental, or emotional one, is there something I can do that will make a difference for you?
I have asked two of my clients to share their experiences with distance Reiki. This is what they had to say:
What do you experience during a distance Reiki session?
Client 1 answered: “Even when taking a distance Reiki session I can feel the energy surround me. It’s a wonderful relieving feeling to know that distant Reiki can really work.”
Client 2 answered: “Release of illness, burdens, fears, hate, anger, and many other unwanted feelings.”
How do you feel after a distance Reiki session?
Client 1 answered: “I feel very sleepy for about two hours then I start to clean my home and everything else I can. I also feel re-energized.”
Client 2 answered: “Light spirit, love, joy, peace, and a feeling of well being.”
Do you feel that distance Reiki “does” anything?
Client 1 answered: “Absolutely. It makes my world an even easier place to live in. I really can build up the stress level in my life.”
Client 2 answered: “Absolutely.”
Do you recommend distance Reiki to others?
Client 1 answered: “I have, yes. I usually tell people about it because of the way it makes me feel about myself.”
Client 2 answered: “Positively.”
How many distance Reiki sessions have you experienced?
Client 1 answered: “Wow! I’m really not sure, but I think I have received at least twelve.”
Client 2 answered: “Approximately 20.”
Will you use distance Reiki in the future?
Client 1 answered: “Only if I need it. I do a lot of meditating on my own time, plus yoga classes.”
Client 2 answered: “Without a doubt.”
Now for some background. Client 1 grew up in an extremely abusive home and experienced more physical, mental, and emotional abuse than I would have believed possible. Client 1 has, with the aid of Reiki and other practices, gone on to live what most people would consider a normal life.
Client 2 has experienced devastating losses including all siblings, three children, both parents, and a spouse of more than forty years. Client 2 lives what most people would consider to be a normal life. They would never guess at the levels of loss that came before they met.
Distance Reiki is one of the most miraculous experiences I’ve ever had. If you have the opportunity to receive it, I strongly encourage you to try it. The technique is taught during level II training.
Please feel free to share your thoughts with me in the comments below.
If you’re a Reiki practitioner, Level II or higher, and you would like to explore new techniques, check out my ART manual. Available on Amazon.com.
As always, thank you for the time we spend together.
Let’s Talk About Reiki I Class!
Specifically…
Gina’s answer to this question from her Reiki I class, way back in 2006, is two answers. We all know how much she likes and better than or. Her top two memories from the class were:
- Finding out how easy self-Reiki is.
- The disk (remember, it was 2006! We used floppies) Cyhndi (her teacher) gave her to print out pages and pages of interesting information about Reiki. She still has those pages in her Reiki notebook. If you’ve taken an in-person class with The Reiki Cafe, you’ve seen the green binder she carries them in.
Nina says that her favorite part of Reiki I was taking the class with her cousin and the fascinating revelations Reiki brought while the class shared their attunement experiences and what brought them to Reiki in the first place.
We’d love to hear about what your favorite part of Reiki I was. Tell us in the comments!
We are taking names for our next Reiki I classes in the Dallas, Texas area.
If you are ready to start your Reiki journey, contact us here or through e-mail: thereikicafe@gmail.com for more information.
As always, thank you for the time you spend with us!

Advanced Reiki Training (ART) Technique – Control Panel
I love teaching the Control Panel technique, because it is so easily understood by students of all levels of intuitive development, and because it is so effective. How effective? Try it and share your experience!
As I mention in The Reiki Cafe Reiki III (ART) Manual, this technique is not exclusive to Reiki III students. I teach it to students as early as Level II (Practitioner) if they request it, or if it is a good fit for that class.
Control Panel technique is usually offered in Level III (ART) because Level II concentrates on becoming a practitioner. Level III (ART) is where we hone our skills to be the most effective we can be in helping others and ourselves.
If you are ready to learn the Control Panel technique and want to set up a one-on-one workshop, e-mail me at thereikicafe@gmail.com so we can schedule your in-person or virtual workshop. You will need to have completed at least one level of Reiki study to take the workshop.
Which Knobs or Dials are on Your Control Panel?
Try looking at your control panel in your next meditation. I’d love to see what you can learn about yourself, and how the control panel can help you in your daily life and Reiki practice!
Control Panel is one of many techniques in The Reiki Cafe Reiki III (ART) Manual. The manual is available now in paperback and for Kindle. It’s free on Kindle Unlimited.
As always, thank you for the time we spend together!

Before We Are Masters – Reiki II Refresher
Greetings. Blessings. Joy! Today I feel amazing, not because I have zero problems, but because I just do. That’s a gift that Reiki gives. Peace in the face of anything life brings.
Onto the Reiki II refresher. I think it’s important to review Level I and Level II concepts from time to time. After all, you want to give Reiki lots of chances to master you!
Let’s review how to do a distant Reiki send, with the help of this cute little dog.
Sending Reiki to an animal, situation or a person all have the same steps.
Questions? Please ask.
If you would like for me to send distant Reiki to you, please let me know. It’s my pleasure to help!
Reiki Master Teachers and Level II or III students, check out the brand new Reiki III (ART) Manual from The Reiki Cafe! Let me know if you purchase a copy so I can send you a special launch bag while I still have a few! Available for Kindle and in paperback.
As always, thank you for the time we spend together!

You’re Invited to The Reiki Cafe’s Reiki III (ART) Manual Launch!
Yay! The Reiki Cafe’s first Reiki manual is ready to launch!
Where: Virtually anywhere as long as Facebook reaches there!
When: Saturday, July 15th at 4:00 PST
The first dozen (or so) to purchase either the Kindle version, which is available now, or the paperback version, for which I will post a link as soon as it is available, will receive a celebration swag bag! There is a gorgeous crystal in each bag, selected by Epona, me and you! Yes, you get to choose your crystal, and some other goodies as well!
Today is Prime day over at Amazon, so I read that if you purchase the manual today, you will receive a 40% off coupon to use on another book, if you are a Prime member. Not bad, Amazon.
Adding to the Reiki knowledge base is not what I set out to do, but as I say in the manual, I was teaching a Reiki Master Teacher class back in the fall of 2015 when I realized that nearly everything I was teaching was what I learned through the countless hours I spent with you, my students, in classes, workshops and sessions. I feel honored for the time we spent together, and for the support I feel from my Reiki guides.
I am honored to live a Reiki life!
As always, thank you for the time we spend together!
