I teach Reiki as my profession, and I’m very interested in meditation and breathing,

because they help keep the mind calm and make Reiki easier to practice.

When Mikao Usui, who founded Reiki about a hundred years ago,

meditated for three weeks, he wasn’t trying to discover some kind of superpower.

Yet in the midst of that deep meditation, he did. His experience inspires me to keep meditating every day.

Does it work?

For me, the answer is yes.

Whenever I meditate, my mind becomes quieter,

my body feels clearer, and I sense the flow of energy — reminding me that I am part of the flow of universal energy.

That is why I recommend meditation to everyone: it opens the door to strength, clarity, and the quiet power within.

Each breath is a reminder that I’m alive, connected, and still learning. Perhaps that is the real gift of meditation.
