Friday, 19 December, 2025
This one might ruffle a few feathers. What is spiritual whitewashing?

Find out here.Works cited/mentioned:My interview appearance on the Echo Ekoji podcast - https://youtu.be/zyyw-c3MaBE?si=JIHRkI9UsfkfVrFVLübeck, Walter; Petter, Frank Arjava; Rand, William Lee: The Spirit of Reiki.Stein, Justin B: Alternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific.Stiene, Frans: The Way of Reiki: The Inner Teachings of Mikao UsuiMusic in this episode: "osaka" by snoozybeats, accessed from the Free Music Archive under a Creative Commons license (CC BY)Image from the film Avatar: Way of Water used under fair use for media discussion.For inquiries: tqrpodcast@gmail.com My skincare and Reiki boutique: Plumeria Beauty+Wellness https://plumeriabewell.as.me
