The NYC Reiki Center was founded in 2007 with the following goals:

 

Embrace Global Community

Help students find their place in the global Reiki community. We each have special gifts to use in the world. Developing those gifts and using them in meaningful ways brings each of us closer to realizing our full potential. Connecting with a Reiki community and sharing in the process of growth, supports us on a core level. We deeply feel the call to Oneness. It’s a call we embrace by fostering a global Reiki family, where we honor and respect the unique path of every Reiki lineage and student.

Empower Everyone

Receiving the Reiki initiations as taught in the lineage of Hawayo Takata changes us by increasing the flow of energy into and around the body. By activating the so-called “light potential” of each person through Reiki initiations, we not only make it possible for them to share Reiki with others, but we enrich them with a flow of energy that will help them overcome their greatest obstacles and fully inhabit their lives and personal missions.

Increase Consciousness

All beings are One in Reiki. By using Reiki and the hatsurei-ho meditation to expanding our consciousness and energy bodies, we help all sentient beings. By helping another to expand their consciousness, we empower ourselves and all other beings. We use the support of our Reiki communities to navigate our challenges, and to increase the consciousness of our members.

Serve All Brings

Photo of Sathya Sai BabaThe spiritual teacher Sathya Sai Baba often exhorted us, “Love all, Serve all.” This instruction helps us keep our lives and daily activities focused on the singular thought: “What special gifts do I have that I can offer to each person or situation I encounter?” At NYC Reiki Center, thinking of others first takes us out of our ego and puts Reiki in charge of our lives and daily activities. We offer ourselves each day in the service of Reiki, and ask that we may be shown how to make a difference in the world.
