The underlying dynamics of the physical world are experienced at varying degrees of consciousness. From the perspective of Ki philosophy; if each aspect of Ishiki exists in potential, the Tsuki equivalent would be the complete understanding of this aspect as it exists in the physical world.

An Introduction to Synaesthesia
Synaesthesia is often defined as a mixing or cross-mapping of sensory experience. The phenomena results in a person experiencing one sense, based on the information of another.

When Death Comes Creeping
The very last moment before death is an intriguing one. The impending and devastating event that follows is incomprehensible to our conscious mind, yet we still attempt to rationalise it, to reason with it and to understand it. As a seven-year-old child, death crept up on me in a mere moment, when the mundane routine […]
Know Thy Client—Holistic Reiki Treatments versus Symptomatic History
People are so complex and nuanced that to sum them up through a brief consultation, to the point where we can offer effective treatment, is virtually impossible. Thus, as professional holistic therapists we usually resign ourselves to stock questionnaires that define the basics, such as age, gender and medical history. Forever seeking to place our […]

Retrain for Success—Reiki training was not created equal…
Many of us, when first seeking out Reiki training, have a rather vaguer idea of what to expect or what to look for. Often we will plump for somebody local or the online training company that promises the most ‘powerful’ results, or the ‘right’ way of ‘using’ Reiki. Even if we have some foundation in […]
An Intelligent Force
Thought creates the physical world into being. A spark, an idea, a vision can burst into life; transforming the world around us (and within us) in truly miraculous ways. Contrary to popular understanding, thought is not exclusively the function of an individual person, but a transpersonal and Universal phenomenon. Thoughts interweave into complex and sometimes […]
