Energy and our connection with the world
Energy and our connection with the world
Across cultures and throughout history, people have developed different ways of describing the vital forces that animate life and connect us with the world around us. Reiki is a Japanese practice. In Japan, the ki in Reiki refers broadly to vital energy or life force. The Chinese concept qi (chi) describes a vital force understood within traditional Chinese thought. In Indian traditions, prana is associated with the vital breath or life force. In several Pacific cultures, including Māori and other Polynesian traditions, mana can describe a form of spiritual power, authority or influence. The Ancient Greeks thought also included pneuma, associated with breath, spirit and the animating force of life.
These concepts arise from very different cultural, philosophical and spiritual traditions, and they aren't interchangeable — but they share an enduring human interest in what gives life vitality and how we relate to the world around us.

Usui Reiki
I am trained in Usui Reiki, a Japanese system of Reiki developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. My practice is rooted in this tradition, with my own Reiki lineage shared here.

My Reiki practice isn't linked to any particular religion, faith or belief system. You don't need to believe in a particular understanding of energy, spirituality or healing to come here. For me, Reiki is connected to something more fundamental: nature, connection and the opportunity to pause and find our place within the world again.

The Gloaming Glade is a space to step away from the noise for a while, reconnect with yourself and perhaps notice the relationships between body, mind, surroundings and the wider living world.
Bring your own beliefs — or none at all.
