EPISODE 67: SHIKOKU PILGRIMAGE PART 1

In this opening episode, we set foot on Japan’s legendary 88-temple route: the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Guided by the spirit of Kōbō Daishi, founder of Shingon Buddhism, pilgrims walk through misty mountains, quiet villages, and visit temples to cleanse and reconnect to their inner light.

I am hoping to take you there and experience some of what I lived in my ten days visiting temples and attending rituals.

EPISODE 66: ANNUAL CATCH UP WITH FRANS STIENE

Originally from the Netherlands, Frans Stiene is the co-founder of the International House of Reiki with Bronwen Logan, with whom he co-wrote the critically acclaimed books The Japanese Art of Reiki, The Reiki Sourcebook, A-Z of Reiki Pocketbook, and Your Reiki Treatment: How to Get the Most Out of It. Looking to understand the context in which Mikao Usui created the Reiki system, Frans traveled to Japan to train with Buddhist priests. These teachings completely changed his understanding of Reiki practice and fueled three new books: The Inner Heart of Reiki: Rediscovering Your True Self, Reiki Insights, and The Way of Reiki: The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui.

Known as the teacher of Reiki teachers, Frans currently travels the world (in person and virtually) to teach and help other Reiki practitioners move forward on their spiritual path.
