The Reiki Show has become a Reiki landmark for many in the International Reiki community.
Its aim is to produce audio interviews about Reiki and of Reiki people from all walks of life to provide a library of information. This library can then be resourced by anyone with access to a computer for free.
The show hopes to help those wishing to become professional practitioners; those needing information for their local hospices, hospitals or schools about Reiki. It's a great place to refer these bodies to where they can hear first hand accounts of where Reiki is currently used around the world, what it is being used for and the resulting success.
The show also aims to educate the Reiki community with interesting historical information. Many of the interviewees have provided answers that have been under debate for years and through their professional status in their areas they have been able to shed a clear and focussed light on these issues.
