Dear All,
There has been a discussion in Ohio Reiki yahoo group on the legal status of Reiki that I wanted to share with you here in case you’ve not followed the messages on the board.
One of the Reiki practitioners called the Ohio Medical Board regarding the legal status of practicing Reiki in our state. She was told by the State Medical Board that having a disclaimer or being a ordained minister will no longer legally protect you in Ohio. Claiming "stress reduction" won't work any longer either, “relaxation” is. All that is valid is having a LMT license or being a medical professional. Lots of other hands on healing modalities or energy modalities may fall under these restrictions too. Here is directly from her message:
“The very reason I called the Board was to ELIMINATE the fears. When we live in a climate of confusion and misinformation, it is not healthy for anyone, and I believe that out of respect for both my clients AND myself, and my fellow practitioners, calling the Board was the right thing to do.I want to clarify and say that nobody has said Reiki is illegal. What they are saying is that to practice ANYTHING professionally - and anything would include spitting on someone - with the intent of "affecting a bodily function" - THAT is practicing medicine. We are not permitted to practice medicine without a license. Thus, LMTs, PAs, NPs, MDs, DOs, no worries, you're good :-) The rest of us who are unlicensed as medical professionals, we have to be VERY VERY CAREFUL in Ohio. We are not permitted to say that Reiki is stress relieving (as stress is a measurable physical response) but we can say it's relaxing. We can NOT charge money to say and assure that Reiki - OR ANYTHING ELSE - cures or helps ANY medical or psychiatric condition, IF WE ARE NOT MEDICALLY LICENSED. That is the law in Ohio. A minister's license will not exempt us from this law. Some states have different laws... Vermont, for example, and New York. In those states, a medically unlicensed Reiki practitioner is not restricted. But here in Ohio, to practice any alternative modality, we must either become licensed medical professionals, operate under the direct supervision of one, OR we must remove any medical claims from our written and spoken words (yep, sadly, including "stress relief"). This is not coming from me - it's coming from the Ohio Medical Board.
One last important thing - the Board told me that they do NOT police the situation. They rely on receiving complaints. Scary when you think about the fact that our doctors are not policed, but the flip side is that unless any of us incites complaints, there will not be an uproarious investigation of Reiki in Ohio :-) This is another reason why I personally choose to be compliant. “
Our own Patricia wrote: “ This is how it is in the middle of a paradigm shift. Let's simply urge the shift to move a little faster so that hands on healing becomes the norm in 2012 rather than 2020....” which I whole heartedly agree.
Someone else wrote:“Who can regulate universal life force energy? Jesus would have been considered a felon under the current state laws”.

Dear Ones,
Happy New Year to you all!
Our dear friend Tony organizes a “Distant Reiki Experiment” every year to help Reiki practitioners charge their goals for the New Year. It’s that time again. You are all invited to participate in this experiment to charge your goals for 2011 with Reiki!. This year’s event is scheduled for Sunday January 2nd at 3pm EST. To sign up and get the instructions click: http://www.distantreikiexperiment.org/You can still participate if you don’t sign up. At 3 pm on Sunday, please use the following statement of intent during whatever process you choose to send Reiki so we can all focus the energy in the same direction: “I would like to send pure Reiki Energy to fully and completely empower and manifest each goal posted to the Distant Reiki Experiment's website; and to heal and empower every practitioner participating in this event as well as the Earth.“
May all your wishes come true...!
As in every January Newsletter, I’d like to share some tips on how you can create your resolutions and send Reiki for their materialization. Manifesting a reality starts with clear intentions (remember Secret: The Law of Attraction). What you focus on, you attract to your life.
Ø Express your New Year resolution with clarity. Instead of saying “I want to be happy”, define happiness. Say “I want a new job that will bring my highest potential” or “I want to be in a relationship where we can share and grow together”. In stead of “I want a new car” say the model and the color and add any other details as possible. This shows how clear you are with your goal.
Ø Always use positive statements in current tense. Instead of saying “I don’t want to be sick”, say “I am completely healthy”.
Ø Visualize yourself as already accomplished your wish or resolution, i.e. you can visualize yourself at the front yard of your dream home, at the office, or in a loving relationship. Visualize as many details as you can.
Ø Think about what emotions you’d have when you accomplish your goal. Add that emotion to your vision. Feel the breeze of the ocean or sand in the beach, warmness of the sun in your face when you’re in your dream vacation. Feel the joy, the happiness, the contentment of accomplishing your goal.
Ø To empower your goals with Reiki; you can simply write down your resolutions on a piece of paper or visualize it.
Ø Activate Reiki by saying an intention or affirmation like “I’m opening myself to Reiki”. Feel the gentle current of Reiki.
Ø If you know Reiki symbols use them at this time. If you are using visualization, beam Reiki to the image as if it’s in a screen in front of you. If you prefer to write it down, take the piece of paper into your palms and provide Reiki.
Ø Send Reiki to the image or to the paper for 5-10 minutes, or as long as you feel necessary.
Ø Well, the work starts after you send Reiki. Make an action plan and work towards your goal. I’ve just updated my personal OGSM (Objectives, Goals, Strategies and Measures) and I’d be glad to work with you individually if you’d like to create yours. This is a tool I’ve adapted from corporate world. It starts with having a vision, mission, achievable goals, and measurable targets for your goals. It works amazingly!
Ø It’s also very important to prepare yourself for your goal and bring your surrounding conditions ready for the materialization of your wish, i.e. check internet resources for healthy diets, how to learn a new skill, etc. One thing I often do is to talk about my goals to my family and friends. The more you talk about your goals, the more you’re inspired and get closer to them. It’s also important to surround yourself with people who’ll support you and your goals.
Ø Always remember you are worth it and you deserve it!
Ø Probably the most important aspect is not to cling to the outcome. Remember it’ll be materialized only if your goal is aligned with your life plan and if it’s for your utmost good. Trust the Divine order for that.

Reiki Newsletter - December 2010
Dear All,
Congratulations new Reiki practitioners! Congratulations for your commitment to self-development and taking charge of your healing. I’ve attached an article from my Reiki Master Frans Stiene that talks about the 3P’s of the Reiki practice: Practice, Patience, and Perseverance. I also wanted to remind of some points that might be helpful to new practitioners (and to old ones too). :-)
Reiki is simple: After the class, sometimes new practitioners don’t know how to start their Reiki practice. All you need to do is to place your hands on yourself and make an intention to start Reiki (or turn the switch on). You can say “I open my hands and my heart to Reiki”, or any other affirmations that will bring out that intention, or simply think about Reiki. It’s that simple! Intention is the key to start Reiki.
How long should I practice?: I’d strongly encourage you to do the 21 days full body treatment (~45 min) but please don’t let this discourage your practice. 15 minutes of Reiki is better than none. Also, you can do Reiki anytime during the day, whenever you have time. Consistent practice is important to build your confidence. Remember that Reiki will always stay with you.
Precepts: The best way to bring Reiki into your daily life is to practice precepts daily: “Just for Today, don’t be angry, don’t worry, be grateful, work hard and be kind to all living beings”. Repeat these precepts twice daily, write them down and put them in your living room, kitchen, computer screen, places that you can see them daily. More importantly, make an intention to practice themJ. There are articles on this blog on the precepts; read them when you have a chance :-)
Meditate: Spend some quiet time alone every day. Simply watch your breath, or watch nature, or practice any other meditations you like. I’d recommend doing Joshin Kokyu-Ho (breathing into abdomen and exhaling/expanding out from each and every cell of your body).
Keep a Journal: Keep a Healing journal. Write down your experiences, your emotions, your dreams (as if they’ve already come true). Writing is very healing.
Don’t cling to the outcome: Have your goals, actions, and dreams be well defined but always trust Reiki to bring about the highest good of all concerned. Don’t forget you’re only an instrument and all you can do is to bring the Light in. It knows how to work.
Remember: PRACTICE, PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE. May we all be healed at all levels!
Reiki at Victory of Light Festival-
It was another awesome gathering where we’ve provided Reiki to VOL participants. Heartfelt thanks to all Reiki Masters and practitioners who came to share their Lights and especially to Patricia, Arleen and Gwynne for leading the event. Come back next time :-)

Reiki Newsletter-November 2010
Dear Friends,
We’ve had another awesome Reiki Day on October 3rd and will sure not be the last one. We’ll continue to meet in every six months. Watch out for the announcement for April 2011 Reiki Day soon. This time we’ll have more hands-on Reiki, new techniques and meditations. In the mean time, as promised, I wanted to share the hand-out I’ve had for “Reiki as a Spiritual Path” break-out session.
There is a 15th century Indian poet, Ekanath Maharaj, who in one of his poems pays gratitude to his Guru for helping him see the “Truth”, the eternal truth that is J . I was thinking why I love this poem so much. May be because I too am blessed to have teachers who make me realize things that I couldn’t have on my own.
It took me a similar blessing to get a deeper understanding of Reiki, not only as a method of healing but also as a spiritual path during the Shinpiden class (Reiki Master Teacher training in Traditional Japanese tradition). I always knew Reiki could be a spiritual path if one chose to take it deeper. However, I always had arms length distance to the notion of practicing Reiki as a spiritual path. Honestly, I had the intention to use Reiki as a tool to practice compassion and selfless service to open my heart, to open it to unconditional love.
It’s perfectly fine to practice Reiki as a hands-on healing modality, like many do; but it’s also important to understand the possibilities that Reiki can offer. If one chooses to practice Reiki as a spiritual path, Reiki is equipped with tools and notions that could lead anyone to Enlightenment.
This realization also brought all the different pieces of the Reiki puzzle together for me. Once seen as separate pieces; precepts, symbols, mantras, hands on healing, meditations all came together and most importantly I realized that all these pieces were all steps for the same purpose; leading to “Great Bright Light”, to the “Enlightenment”, “Satori” or as I call “Self-realization”. Not only that, I was able to see clearly how different spiritual traditions, (as I share in this example, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism) are all paths that lead to the same destination, the same hill top that when we reach the view is the same no matter which path you follow. Oh well, here it’s all in one page!
Healing Wednesday will be on Wednesday November 17th from 10 am till 2 pm
“Healing Wednesdays” is to reach out to communities that can’t afford Reiki. It’s very fulfilling to provide Reiki to those who need it the most and can’t afford it. People start to line up at the free food bank at 10 am and we offer Reiki to all those who wait in line. Come stop by any time and stay for as long as you want. We take shifts. Contact Elfriede directly to register at elfriede@knopf-family.net. What a great way to celebrate my birthday!

This is one of a kind gathering where we’ll match the audience with Reiki practitioners to give everyone a “Reiki experience” while a group of Reiki Masters talk about Reiki and answer questions.

The big day is only a month ahead!!! Reiki Day is on Sunday October 3rd at Grailville. We have lots of fun planned for you! This will be a day to refresh, learn and experience, it’s all about Reiki. The morning session will be for Reiki Masters/Teachers (9:30 am-12:30pm) and afternoon session is open to all practitioners (1:30 pm-5:30 pm). I need your opinion for the break-out sessions. We are trying to decide between different topics. If you’d have only 1 break-out session option, which one would you choose?
1) Modern Reiki vs. Traditional Japanese Reiki
2) Reiki as a Spiritual Path
3) How to use Reiki in Daily Life
Oh, also, please register in advance! The space is limited and I really mean it. There is a building code and a limit for number of participants. We’ll split the cost. It’s $20 for Reiki Teachers and $10 for Reiki practitioners. I can’t wait to see you all there. Please sign up at http://cincinnatireiki.ning.com/
We’ve had an awesome day at Wellness Fair introducing Reiki to Wellness Community last Friday. It was a true team work! Thanks to Rosemary, Linda, Bruce, Bob; we’ve explained Reiki and provided Reiki to all participants. We’ve answered some very good questions and I‘ve just received a BIG Thank you note from Wellness community. I just wanted to let you know that there is a lot of interest (and need) for Reiki amongst Wellness Community. If you are a Reiki teacher and willing to offer your time to teach Reiki there, please let me know!
Wellness Community, is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free emotional support, education and hope for people with cancer and their loved ones. http://www.thewellnesscommunity.org/. All of their services are free.
You still have not come to my yoga class??? Don’t worry, now I teach every Thursday evening from 7pm-8:30 pm in Grace Tree Yoga Studio in West Chester. It’s a gentle yoga class and first class is free. http://www.gracetreestudio.com/
This Month’s Highlights:
Systemic Constellation Workshop on Sunday September 5th from 10 am till 5 pm in at the Netherland HiltonAll I can say: You have to experience it!! It’s a shamanic workshop to recognize and release any karma you carry from your family. Do you have unfinished business with your ancestors? Then you have to take this workshop. Cost is $150 and will include catered lunch. http://www.soulsolutionshome.com/
Healing Wednesdays will continue on Wednesday September 15th from 10 am till 2 pm
We’ll continue with the “Healing Wednesdays” to reach out to communities that can’t afford Reiki. It’s very fulfilling to provide Reiki to those who needs most and who can’t afford. People start to line up at the free food bank at 10 am and we offer Reiki all those who wait in line. This is one of the best exposures vs. time, I’ve ever experienced! Come stop by any time and stay for as long as you want. We’ll take shifts. Contact Elfriede directly to register at elfriede@knopf-family.net.

I can’t put this workshop into words. You have to experience it!! It’s like psycho-drama but it’s more than that.
