During the Reiki Festival 2024, we were privileged to experience something special.
With Paul Mitchell and the presence of Susan Mitchell, a deep, shared connection with Chujiro Hayashi-sensei emerged.
Susan said afterwards:

“I have to say it was the most intense large group weekend Reiki gathering I have ever attended and I deeply appreciated it.”

That intensity came about not only through words,
but especially because we – as a group – really felt Hayashi’s energy.
We went beyond thinking about Hayashi, and got in touch with the essence he represents.
No longer a person, not a human being as we are now, but a vibrant energy – palpable through our Reiki consciousness.
During this afternoon there was also a portrait of
Mikao Usui-sensei
visible in space.
In the openness and concentration that ensued, attention was naturally drawn to his image.
At that moment it became clear:
In 2025 Usui-sensei invites us to shift focus – from lore to direct connection.
Not as a person, but as a representative of the source of the system of Reiki.
His energy is still present.
By coming together at the Festival, we can connect to it on a deeper level – in the silence, in the simplicity, in the abundant Reiki flow that only in a field of joint practice like the Reiki Festival becomes so palpable.
Will you be there in 2025?
We invite you to experience this special Festival with us – as a practitioner, as a human being, as part of the living Reiki system that once began with Mikao Usui.
