💙 I'm thrilled to share that my poem, "Gentle Whispers," has been published in the summer edition of the 2025 issue of The Orchards Poetry Journal.

I was inspired to begin writing poetry in the 5/7/5/7/7 syllable format, known as waka (today tanka), when I first learned that it was part of the system of Reiki. Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, used poetry as a way to help students cultivate a clear and open mind.

It's been a way for me to explore a side of me that I never knew existed, which I'm so grateful for! Today, giving thanks for many blessings!🙏🏻

The poem is available online at https://orchardspoetry.com/ and for the book format at https://kelsaybooks.com/collections/the-orchards-poetry-journal/products/the-orchards-poetry-journal-summer-2025

Reiki Practitioners - Important information! Please read and share!🙏🏻💜

Calling ALL Reiki People! We have exciting news for protective Reiki Legislation! A public hearing for a Safe Harbor Exemption bill H.2504/S.1481 An Act providing for consumer access to and the right to practice complementary and alternative health care services has been scheduled for:

Monday July 14, 2025 @ 10:00 a.m. EDT
The Joint Committee on Public Health
Massachusetts State House
24 Beacon St, Boston, MA 02133
Room A-1

We are requesting Reiki Practitioners, Teachers and Clients to testify or submit written testimony to help get these bills passed. For several years now there has been an affront on Reiki and other complementary energy healing practices in Massachusetts. If the safe harbor bill gets passed first, it would set a precedent and likely prevent these bills from popping up again in the future. It also helps ALL Reiki practitioners in the US, as these bills continue to gain popularity more states will adopt them.

You do not need to live in MA to submit written testimony in support of this bill.

Safe harbor laws protect complementary and alternative health care practitioners including Reiki Energy Healers.

If you are a MA resident, you may register to testify in person or virtually using the link below no later than Friday July 11 at 2p.m. EDT.

*Individuals who miss the deadline to pre-register for testimony may appear on the day of the hearing and sign-up to speak in person on forms provided by committee staff outside of the hearing room.

To Submit Written Testimony: Please include “Public Health Committee Testimony, Bill “H2504/S.1481” in the subject line of the email, as well as your name, address, phone number, and organization, if any.

Written testimony will continue to be accepted after the hearing until the relevant bill is acted upon. Such testimony may be submitted via email to JointCommittee.PublicHealth@malegislature.gov

Those who plan to submit only written testimony may do so before or after the sign-up deadline. You may view the live stream under the Hearings & Events section of the legislative website.

See below for an example template to get you started on testimony.

RE: Testimony in Support of H.2504 and S.1481, An Act Providing for Consumer Access and the Right to Practice Complementary and Alternative Health Care Services

Dear Chairs and Members of the Committee:

My name is (your first and last name) and I am a (Reiki practitioner, teacher or client) who resides in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

(Do not add where you reside if you do not live or work in MA. Please note, that anyone in the US can join in writing a letter of support).

State why you support protecting unlicensed alternative and complementary health practitioners. Include a personal story, perhaps how you or someone you know benefited from this care. Tell the Committee how the law could positively affect you, your family, and your community and/or organization or business if it is passed.

Example:

I want to voice my strong support for H.2504 and S.1481, as this law will protect existing complementary and holistic practitioners in Massachusetts and encourage new healers to set up practices, bringing more revenue to the Commonwealth.

(Insert a brief personal story, or how Reiki has benefited yourself and/or your clients.)

Please vote yes on H.2504 and S.1481. Thank you for your time and consideration of this issue.

Sincerely,
Print your name
Street address
Town/City

Additionally, you can always send Reiki to support legislation that protects everyone's access to Reiki!

Thanks for your support!
The ICRT Legislative Team

Fireflies appear
like fairies in the night sky.
I follow their flight,
deep into the darkened woods,
with childlike wonder and joy.

Thank you Connie Huber for a fun-filled adventure into the woods to watch the dance of the fireflies.🧚
