In this introductory talk, Dr. Stein explores the commonalities of all Reiki practice. We’ll delve into what distinguishes Reiki from other healing modalities and spiritual paths, as well as examine the diverse practices that characterize what are sometimes called "Japanese" and "Western" forms of Reiki.

All proceeds from this Webinar support the English translation of Kaiji Tomita's 1933 Reiki and the Caring Art of Healing: The Tomita Method of Hands-on Therapy, a project of Reiki Centers of America, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
