Echinacea is more well known in medical literature than it is in magical. Almost all references to it magically say that carrying it will provide inner strength in stressful or trying times. I also found multiple references to it as being of benefit in intensifying other magick rituals or spells, and as being appropriate for spirit offerings, but I can find no specifics otherwise.

According to Mikao Usui’s surviving students, when you trained with Usui Sensei you did not follow a day course, or a two-day course, or a three-day course, in the way that Reiki is taught in the West. Training in Usui’s system was an ongoing process and would have been spread out over a considerable period. Usui would visit you and give you some energy work to carry out and then you would not see him for a while. You would do the prescribed work, keep notes on your experiences and then when you visited Usui, or when he visited you, you would review your progress. You would be given additional work to carry out, and again this was reviewed some time later.

A basic healing kit consists of one tumbled stone or cabochon for each chakra, plus two clear quartz crystals, one piece of calcite and two black stones such as hematite or black tourmaline. The stones I will talk about here are easy to find and will serve you well. They are the stones I generally recommend for the color meditation which will be added later. However, if you cannot find one of the stones in this section, substitute it with another stone from the list below each chakra. I have tried to include only stones which are readily available in most crystal stores. The specific metaphysical and healing properties of these stones can be found in either volume 1 or 2 of The Crystal Workbook.

In this article I would like to talk about the Reiki Precepts, and where they come from, and I want to suggest a way of using Reiki to directly experience the effects of the first two precepts. I believe that this is a new approach to working with Usui Sensei’s principles.
