EPISODE 52: ANNUAL CATCH-UP WITH FRANS STIENE Frans Stiene is the co-founder of the International House of Reiki with Bronwen Logan, with whom he co-wrote the critically acclaimed books The Japanese Art of Reiki, The Reiki Sourcebook, A-Z of Reiki Pocketbook, and Your Reiki Treatment: How to Get the Most Out of It. Looking to understand the context in which Mikao Usui created the Reiki system, Frans traveled to Japan to train with Buddhist priests. These teachings completely changed his understanding of Reiki practice. They fueled three new books: The Inner Heart of Reiki: Rediscovering Your True Self, Reiki Insights, and The Way of Reiki: The Inner Teachings of Mikao Usui. Known as the teacher of Reiki teachers, Frans currently travels the world (in person and virtually) to teach and help other Reiki practitioners move forward on their spiritual path. We chat here about his latest training experience in Japan in November 2023.
