Winter: A Season of Rest and Restoration

By following the cues
that Nature generously provides,
we set the tone of our days
and discover,
in each unfolding season,
a gentler pace
and a softer rhythm in our lives.

Winter arrives,
whispering softly of the need for rest,
inviting us to slow down,
to breathe,
and to savor the solace
that drifts softly, like silent snowflakes across our hearts.

In this season of stillness,
we withdraw
from the hurried tempo of our days,
from the busyness that tugs
like constant and restless winds.

Here, in the quiet,
we find shelter,
a place to dream,
time to pause,
and space to imagine
all the plans and possibilities
preparing to bloom
in the next season of our lives.

And when the world stirs again,
we emerge
with renewed grace and resilience,
feeling rested and restored,
ready for whatever may lie ahead.

⛄ Winter Issue of Reiki News Magazine ⛄
Reiki Myths by William Lee Rand

William Lee Rand’s new article clears the air by separating myth from truth. He shares how Reiki was originally taught, why misinformation spread, and what modern practitioners now understand through years of practice and research.

The article walks through 10 common myths including:
1. Reiki is an oral tradition.
2. Reiki requires years of practice for it to work.
3. Reiki is only a placebo.
4. Reiki is only for physical healing.
5. A Reiki practitioner can diagnose illnesses.

This article highlights Reiki as a gentle, spiritually guided healing method that supports physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being while complementing standard medical care.

It’s a great reminder that Reiki is meant to be accessible, clear, and grounded in both tradition and experience and a resource anyone can learn and benefit from!
