Today we celebrate the birthday of Phyllis Lei Furumoto (1948–2019), granddaughter of Hawayo Takata and recognised as the Lineage Bearer of Usui Shiki Ryoho.
Phyllis dedicated her life to carrying forward the practice and spirit of Reiki, sharing its essence with compassion, authenticity, and deep integrity.
Her vision and teaching helped shape Reiki as we know it today, creating bridges across cultures and uniting practitioners worldwide. Through her guidance, countless students and teachers were inspired to connect more deeply with Reiki and with themselves.
We remember her with gratitude for the light she brought into the world, and for the legacy she entrusted to all of us in the Reiki community. Thank you ✨💜

Continuing our series of sustainable health care posts:
How often do you visit a forest? Aside from the enjoyment and visual stimulation of being closer to nature, there are genuine health benefits in regular visits to forests, known as forest bathing.
Have you ever heard the term phytoncides? You'd be forgiven if you haven't. Think of them as tree essential oils that have medicinal properties. They are one of the main benefits of forest bathing.
Studies have shown that if you visit forests regularly you could experience health benefits including reducing stress levels and boosting immune function, as well improvements to a range of other lifestyle-induced illnesses.
Our tip number 12 is to try forest bathing. Get outside and breathe in the fresh phytoncide-filled air. It's a fantastic way to promote your health and wellbeing.

🌍✨ World Humanitarian Day – August 19 ✨🌍
Today we honour those who bring care, compassion, and healing into the most challenging of environments.
Within our Reiki community, many practitioners quietly give their time and energy to support others in humanitarian settings - whether in hospitals, hospices, community centres, mental health units, or crisis response situations.
These acts of service are more than kindness - they are part of a growing movement to make Reiki accessible in mainstream healthcare and wellbeing services. Every volunteer session, every moment of presence, helps to demonstrate the profound impact Reiki can have in supporting emotional balance, reducing stress, and bringing comfort to those who need it most.
💜 To all the Reiki practitioners making a difference in these spaces - thank you. You are helping to pave the way for a future where Reiki is recognised and available for all.

"As a Reiki practitioner, you can deepen and enrich your work by incorporating ceremonial cacao. Ceremonial cacao, with its rich history and heart-opening properties, is a powerful ally in spiritual any practice.
