Honor your Parents, Teachers and Elders

When I became a Reiki Master and started teaching in 1990 and offering the gift of Reiki to others, I was flooded with thank you notes from new students. I have saved them all, as my heart had been filled with gratitude, upon reading them. I knew someday I would do something with them. Today, starts the expressive journey of sharing the beautiful and grateful words from students who have been moved, touched, supported and healed from the generous gift of the Usui System of Natural Healing.

Let us hear from Loralda Cheang Mei Ling Po McKay of Las Cruces, NM, as she expressed herself with her creative artwork and beautiful words, this spring 2008:

Jean, my Reiki Master,
Thank you with all my heart for your wise words of strength, your gentle look from the far reaching vast deep oceans blue, your painting pictures with words, so I may find my bearings since losing my way, floating and flowing in Reiki reminding me of the promise at Initiation: opened always to the Source!
Love, Peace, Blessings,
Nam-myoho-renge-kyo,
Mei Ling




















Hira Reid, my twin, also received her Gift of Reiki in 1985 by Helen J, Haberly in Tacoma, Wa. She is a devoted student of Reiki who has shared her gift with hundreds of people over the years. Her talents of creative expression in words and in Sumi artwork has led many to explore their healing paths and get in touch with their inner places of expression.

Jean Ferris shares her gratitude for the creative process of Reiki in her life and her computer paintings drawn on the Big Island in the 1990's, while teaching in the Volcano Rainforest Retreat Center:

Reiki touched me with a creative power I had not known before. It put me in touch with possibilities, as opposed to the mundane approach. That creative process continually has led me through my life. It is like a river that meanders thru the banks of my life. Sometimes it overflows and I find myself in new terrains of unknown places where I am pushed to expand my awareness of who I am. When this happens, I find myself in gratefulness of this process. I am supported and not apprehensive to the new journey. I sit in this creative process of being refreshed by the river of Reiki flowing in my life.

























Years ago, I was gifted this beautiful original drawing of the Spiritual Precepts by Ellen Storm. She lived with her husband, a minister at Kalaupapa Leper Colony, Molokai, Hawaii. She is a gifted artist and shared her talents with the patients. As I always look at this, it is a portrayal of seeing the Precepts with single vision and looking into them to have their wisdom revealed. I thank you, Ellen Storm, for your wisdom of seeing the Precepts and sharing your gifts.
