Completing my Reiki Master training did not feel like reaching a destination. It felt like stepping across the threshold of a deeper practice—one rooted in listening, humility, discernment, and service. In this reflection, I explore Reiki through the perspectives of contemplative practice, science, engineering, yoga, and Ayurveda, while honoring the mystery that cannot be reduced to any single system of understanding.

International Day of Yoga coincides with the June solstice, yet many modern celebrations emphasize physical performance without exploring the history, philosophy, and cultural meaning behind the practices. This reflection invites us to move from unconscious participation toward informed, respectful, and meaningful practice.
