Reiki. What is it?
In simplest terms, Reiki is often described as "Universal Life-Force Energy. Firstly, it's important to differentiate between Reiki, the inherent energy in all living beings, and the Usui system of Reiki, established by Mikao Usui. The latter refers to the practice of harnessing Reiki in its purest, highest vibrational form to promote healing in oneself and others.
The Usui system of Reiki is a holistic healing practice that promotes balance and well-being through the gentle laying on of hands. Originating from Japan, Reiki is based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things, and when this energy is balanced, it can contribute to a person's overall health and happiness.

Feel calmer.
Feel steadier.
Feel more at peace.
If you're looking for practical ways to bring more peace into your everyday life, you're in the right place.
PNW Reiki (formerly Elevated Vibrations Collective) offers more than hands-on Reiki sessions.
Reiki is a gentle system of natural healing, and here, it's shared as a lifestyle — through community, connection, and daily practice, not just a quiet hour on a treatment table.
At its heart, Reiki is about clearing away what clouds your true self — the worry, the tension, the noise — so your own light can shine through, a little more freely each day. Much of what I offer is free, because building this lifestyle shouldn't depend on your budget.
So what does that actually look like? Here are four ways to start:
The Mid-Week Retreat Newsletter.
The PNW Reiki Community Facebook Group
Insight Timer Courses & Meditations.
One-on-One Sessions & Training.
The Mid-Week Retreat, PNW Reiki Community, and Insight Timer meditations are open to you no matter where you live. Reiki Training and one-on-one sessions are here for you locally in Vancouver, WA.

A few quick answers:
What's the Mid-Week Retreat? A weekly reflection delivered every Wednesday — part personal essay, part short practice, part a single question to sit with. Substack readers get the opening reflection; the PNW Reiki email community receives the complete edition, practice and all.
Do I need experience to join the Facebook group? Not at all. The PNW Reiki Community is open to everyone, whether you're brand new to Reiki or years into your own practice. We gather each week for precept focus, reflection discussion, and guided meditation — come as you are.
What's the difference between Substack and the email list? Substack is where the conversation begins — the weekly reflection, open to all. The email list is where the fuller practice lives, the more intimate space where we go a little deeper together. Substack is where you can get a no-commitment sample of the Mid-Week Retreat and view the archives.
What is Insight Timer, and do I have to pay to use it? Insight Timer is a free meditation app — you don’t need a paid account to use it. All of my guided meditations on the app are free to access. Insight Timer does offer a paid membership for premium content across the app, and my upcoming course will be part of that premium content, but everything I currently offer there is free.
