Welcome back to another episode of ReikiCafe Radio! This week, join Christine Renee as she interviews author and Reiki historian Justin Stein on his new book, Alternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific.

Alternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific analyzes how, from her training in Japan in the mid-1930s to her death in Iowa in 1980, Takata built a vast trans-Pacific network. Using recently uncovered archival materials and original oral histories, Justin B. Stein examines how these relationships between healer and patient, master and disciple, became deeply infused with values of their time and place and how they interplayed with Reiki’s circulation, performance, and meanings along with broader cultural shifts in the twentieth-century North Pacific.

In this episode, Christine dives even deeper, covering topics like:

• The true origin of the 5 Reiki Precepts
• Deity Yoga and its connection to the Reiki symbols
• Esoteric Buddhism's connection to Reiki
• The Reiki levels as practiced in Japan
• Usui Reiki Ryoho  as practiced in 1920’s Japan 
• How did Dr. Hayashi die? 
•  How Reiki is not cultural appropriation and why 
• Takata's history
• American Reiki Practices before and after WWII
• Usui's Reiki prices
• And more!

So grab your tea or coffee and join us as we sip our way through this week's episode!
