Happy Monday, Alchemist! It’s common in Reiki training to learn about the history of Reiki, and to learn about three people: Usui Sensei, Hayashi Sensei, and Ms. Takata. But you may be surprised to know how influential and vital other women were in the presence of Reiki today. On this episode, we learn from Amanda Jayne, co-author of, Women in Reiki. She shares some stories of women in Reiki, as well as her own journey with the practice. Amanda has been interested in health and the healing arts for a long time, and after finishing University she began to pursue a career in the field of psychology. It was only a couple of years later, after her father died of cancer, and her own health was not so great, that she decided to leave her job to go and see the world. Amanda wanted to explore the healing that could be found in the wonder of seeing and experiencing amazing, beautiful places and learning about other cultures firsthand. At some point, she ended up studying Reiki in Japan, which you’ll hear more about.
