Happy Thursday, Alchemist~ Today is a special episode, as I sat down to have a discussion with one of my teachers, Frans Stiene. This feels less like an interview, and more like you getting to sit down with us for a private conversation between a teacher and student. I had the opportunity to ask Frans some of the questions I've had for years! Frans has been a major influence on global research into the system of Reiki since the early 2000s. His practical understanding of the Japanese influences on the system have allowed students around the world to connect deeply with this practice. Students naturally respond to Frans' warmth and intelligence. His own personal spiritual Reiki practice offers great encouragement to those on the same path. Frans is a co-founder of the International House of Reiki and Shibumi International Reiki Association with Bronwen Logan (Stiene). He has also authored The Inner Heart of Reiki: Rediscovering Your True Self, Reiki Insights, and The Way of Reiki: The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui.
