| There is a feeling of family
that is experienced in Reiki seminars as barriers are dropped. Hearts
unite and shared moments of experiencing the loving energy of Reiki
are enjoyed. There are over 40,000 students through out the world
that have been taught by Mari. Many of them are members of the International
Association of Reiki and by joining they demonstrate their
commitment to the use of Reiki in the promotion of world peace.
There are many organized groups that come together throughout the
world to share and practice their Reiki. It gives like-hearted people
the chance to remain connected to the supporting energy of Reiki
and the Reiki family.
Mari's belief has always been that the center for Reiki is in
the hearts of each individual student. Each person is unique and
important to the whole. In organizing groups it empowers the individuals
involved to create and explore the own uniqueness and how they
create a whole effect not only in the group, but also in their
families, community and the world. By taking the emphasis off
Mari it empowers the students to be responsible for themselves
and their own growth thereby balance is created. " For we
are all equal and members of the same family."
Mari always welcomes the opportunity to be in touch with her
students and is available to meet them or respond to their letters,
which she answers personally. There is also the chance to get
together at regional meetings or on other courses that she leads
to support the "awakened spirit." A newsletter "Heart
of the Family" is published online once a year. to connect
the family with articles and useful information.
In 1998 the form and standards for the teaching and professional
practice of Reiki that were written by Mari and are used by the
International Association of Reiki were accepted for affiliation
to the Institute For Complementary Medicine. Mari was made a member
of the British Register of Complementary Practitioners and appointed
as special advisor to the board of the British Council for Complementary
Medicine for Reiki.
Her vision for the future is that Reiki will be in every home
as the most natural dynamic between people
