Reiki and its benefits continue to gain traction within the healthcare system and this would not be possible without organisations such as the Reiki Healthcare Research Trust. In this issue we are honouring our dear friend Feona Gray, a prominent figure and pioneer in establishing Reiki as an evidence-based therapy in integrative healthcare settings.

Martin Thirlwell and Frans Steine guide us through the professional requirements necessary to work within a healthcare setting. Courtney Ince and Lily Farrah share their experiences of providing Reiki within hospital wards and hospices. They highlight the tremendous work of organisations and volunteers who endeavour to raise awareness and access to Reiki.

We also hear from Kate Jones on the creation of the verification process and how to become a verified practitioner enabling you to take the first steps needed to work within healthcare settings. Our artist for this issue, Mamta Nanda, shares her extraordinary work, her passion for hitsuzendo, instinctive meditation and ancestral healing through weaving.
