Dear friends, 
As we move into spring, there is a natural shift that many of us will begin to feel, not just in the weather, but in ourselves. The days are getting longer. The light is returning. There is a quiet sense of space opening up again. 

After the stillness and introspection of winter, this season invites something different, a gentle reawakening. A chance to step forward with renewed clarity, energy, and purpose. Not in a forced or urgent way, but in a way that feels aligned and natural.

Within Reiki, this mirrors what we see in practice every day. When we allow space, whenwe soften, when we return to presence, something begins to move. Not because we push it, but because we allow it.

This theme is reflected beautifully throughout this month’s newsletter. From the initiative “Reiki for the World – for all
transformation processes,” which invites us to come together each week in shared intention, to the reflections on peace,
freedom, and loving kindness, we are reminded that Reiki is not just something we do, but something we live.

It is also encouraging to see the continued strength of our community in action. The recent meditation circle brought
together practitioners across languages and borders, creating a shared space of connection and healing. And the presence
of ERG at the International Reiki Congress in Switzerland highlights something important, we are not standing still. We
are participating, contributing, and helping to shape the conversation across Europe and beyond. With that in mind,
I am also very pleased to introduce Ernesto, who will be stepping into the role of ERG Secretary for the UK. This is an
important position within our structure, helping to bring clarity, continuity, and connection to the work we are doing
collectively. Ernesto brings both energy and perspective, and I am confident he will play a key role in supporting our
ongoing development.

As we step into this new season, there is an opportunity for all of us to reflect on how we show up, both individually
and as part of this wider community. Not by doing more for the sake of it, but by being more intentional. More present.
More connected. More open to what is unfolding. Because ultimately, that is where the real work happens.

Wishing you all a season of renewal, growth, and quiet strength. Thank you for the energy you bring, to your practice, to your communities, and to ERG. I look forward to what we will continue to build together in the months ahead.

With gratitude,
Gavin Ford
President, European Reiki Group
