Incredible finale. Thank you New Zealand for being the most exquisite host.🙏🏽🤍

And here we are, the first Shihan-Kaku students of the Arjava Petter Institute!

After an incredible week with twenty other like-minded people, it was a gift to then gather in a smaller circle with Arjava, training for our first level of Teaching. It felt like a rare privilege to step into a quieter, more intimate space with Arjava as well as to be the first group of Shihan-Kaku’s since teaching under his own banner.

Sharing our days learning and having our lunches and dinners together as a group was truly a special experience!

As a person, Arjava seems to have lived a thousand lives…there is such a depth of not only life experience, but also his unique connection to Reiki and its roots. It is particularly his connection to Japan and the relationships he has with those closest to its origins that makes learning with him such a rich experience. He is humble, down to earth and he feels like an old friend. His influences are wrapped into his way of being, a mix of German, Japanese and Greek - quite a unique combination! - and he is one of the funniest people I have met!

There was a shared current of gratitude running through us all: gratitude for the chance to study so closely with Arjava, gratitude for each other, and gratitude for Reiki itself. There was laughter, tears and overall, a sense of joy that seemed to ripple through every one of us!

It was truly an unforgettable experience! I leave feeling deeply honoured to have had this experience and deeply grateful for this incredible practice. 🙏🏽🤍🥰

Hands down, one of the most incredible experiences in my journey with Reiki yet!

Today I reflect on the first part of the training, Levels 1 & 2 with a group of people that began as strangers and are now lifelong friends! There were also some familiar faces from last year and reuniting was like reuniting with family. It is so hard to explain the connections that happen in these types of training but where Reiki is at the centre of what we are doing, it is, by nature, a heart opening and open-hearted space.

It was particularly an honour this year, to learn with Frank Arjava Petter, as Arjava, formerly the Principal of the Jikiden Reiki Institute, is now teaching independently, remaining true to the teachings as taught to him by Chiyoko Sensei and some additional traditional Reiki practices. It is exciting to be part of his evolving journey and share this with him.

Arjava is authentic, kind and compassionate in the way that he teaches and he brought so much light, joy and humour into the experience that made this first part of the training such an incredibly experience! More than a leader and teacher, his is also a friend and we will all cherish our continued journey with him.

I had high expectations (given how much I loved last year with him) but this exceeded it beyond my wildest dreams! An absolutely extraordinary experience!

Stayed tuned for Part 2. 😉🙏🏽🥰

I will never get sick of this. Feet in the water, cleansing and clearing and ready for another incredible day with Arjava Petter. 🙏🏽🤍🥰

Here we go again!

This is round two of teaching intensive with Arjava and my first Teacher’s level in this beautiful system of Reiki which stays true to the traditional practices taught to Chiyoko Yamaguchi by her teacher, Hayashi Sensei, the last Shihan student of Mikao Usui.

Reiki in the West has changed and adapted the practice in many ways. Many practices and traditional healing techniques are no longer known or taught and new additions and adaptations have occurred over time. Some students are drawn to these changes, whereas for me, I have always felt a strong pull towards the wisdom of the original practice, and the incredible power in its simplicity. This is just what resonates most for me.

On a personal front, this year has pushed me beyond my perceived limits and tested my inner strength and resolve. It’s be a tough one. But I have been so proud of myself and been able to see the real impact of all my healing and spiritual work. At the same time, when I get on the plane, I will breath a sigh of relief, it is time for me to exhale and use this time just for myself…this is a much needed break!

Big Reiki love to you all!
🙏🏽🤍

I choose healing and freedom from trauma cycles any day. It’s not easy work, it can come with grief, loss, a lot of unknowns and at times, isolation…but it is worth it. More and more I see people committed to their healing and committed to paving a better way forward with support from communities of people all on the same path and then becoming healers themselves and supporting others. Hurt people heal people too. it’s a choice. 🙏🏽🤍

If you’re hoping to learn Reiki this year, wait lists are open for the remaining classes, though most are already close to capacity. Looking ahead, enrolments for 2026 have already begun and spots are beginning to fill in the earlier year’s classes with more available throughout the year. What a beautiful way to begin a new year - learning these incredible practices designed to help us achieve health and happiness!

If you’re feeling the pull toward something deeper in your life, a practice that promotes overall well being, inner peace, reconnects you to your intuition, and offers a pathway to spiritual, physical, emotional and mental healing…this is your invitation.

Join me, Fiona Phillips, Reiki Shihan and Practitioner at Within The Space, for a truly transformative Shoden Level I Reiki course taught in the heart of Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Specialising in non-Westernised, traditional Japanese Reiki spiritual and healing practices, this course offer the lesser known aspects of the original system of Reiki, which over time have been adapted or removed from Teaching.

This course may be for you if you want to:

• Reconnect and deepens your relationship with yourself

• Learn hands-on healing to care for yourself, family, friends or pets

• Cultivate emotional balance

• Deepen your self-care

• Explore Reiki as a spiritual path and a way of living with greater intuition, spiritual insight and inner peace.

Whether you are completely new to Reiki or a Western-trained practitioner wanting to reconnect with the original spiritual roots, this course offers a space to experience the depth and subtle power of this practice.

Group sizes are intentionally small for connection and depth of teaching with plenty of time for questions, discussions, sharing and practice.
