Reiki for a Better World  

For the last two years, Ben Haggard, Phyllis Furumoto, and Jessica Palin have worked together to bring the Reiki Community a new way of being with our Reiki Practice.  This began with an invitation from the Reiki Foundation International Board of Directors who felt they needed to shift their understanding of how Reiki Home might impact the way in which they held "Reiki Practice" as well as how they might work together.  This was a successful partnership for everyone.  

From this time together, Ben, Jessica, and Phyllis realized that they shared a common commitment to Reiki Home and to the vision of a Reiki Community that could mobilize itself to participate in making the world a better place.  

What does it mean to make the world a better place? In the 1980's the wish for world peace was on the top of the list for many Reiki students.  The premise was if each of us had inner peace, then this would extend to our environment and family.    

Making the world a better place starts with each of us. Our work in Reiki for a Better World is to highlight the connection we have with each other and, through Reiki, become more conscious of how we can commit to extending the practice to more and more of our immediate environment.  

Practicing conscious listening, restructuring thinking patterns, and making a commitment to change result in our taking Reiki into our environment.  

The next step is to come together as a group and find our service to the world we live in now and to the legacy we will leave for the future generations.
