Beloved Practitioners, Teachers, and Keepers of the Current,

Twenty six years ago, a small intention was placed gently into the world, like hands resting over the heart. No spectacle. No urgency. Just trust in the quiet intelligence of healing and the willingness to listen. From that simple beginning, a living lineage has grown.

A school is not walls, syllabi, or certificates. A Reiki school is a field. It is shaped every time one of you pauses, breathes, and allows harmony to move where it is needed most. Over twenty six years, that field has been strengthened by thousands of such moments. Unseen, yet unmistakable.

You have carried Reiki into homes, hospitals, classrooms, offices, and sacred spaces. You have offered it in times of grief, transition, birth, exhaustion, and renewal. Often without recognition. Often without words. Always with presence. This is how real traditions endure.

Twenty six years marks more than longevity. It marks trust. Trust in the practice. Trust in one another. Trust in the quiet power of hands guided by compassion rather than force. In a world that constantly demands speed and certainty, you have chosen attunement and listening.

May this anniversary remind you that your practice matters, even when it feels subtle. Especially when it feels subtle. Healing rarely announces itself loudly. It arrives softly, rearranging things from the inside out.

As we step into the years ahead, may curiosity stay alive in your hands. May humility keep your practice clear. May joy remain part of your discipline. And may the current that first brought us together continue to flow through you, steady and generous.

Thank you for twenty six years of dedication, care, and quiet courage.

The work continues, and so does the blessing of walking it together.
