Practicing Reiki with Your Whole Heart, with Arjava Petter

05/12/25 • 55 min

Happy Monday!
I’m excited to share a week with one of my teachers, Arjava Petter. On this first episode, we start by discussing his recent choice to retire from the Jikiden Reiki Institute, and his teaching plans moving forward. Then Arjava moves into sharing some insights from his time with Osho, how his first meditation teacher focused heavily on discipline, and why practicing with our whole heart is key.
Frank Arjava Petter went to India to live in the spiritual Commune/Ashram of Osho Rajneesh for several years. This is where he received his training in meditation and the art of living in the present. Later in life, Arjava spent six years in the United States of America, doing a thousand and one things. He then found himself in Japan for twelve years, and during his stay, Arjava embarked on the Reiki journey. After the publication of his first book, in 1997, Arjava began to travel extensively, all over the world, teaching Reiki.
Arjava now lives with his family in Greece and has published several books on Reiki, and collections of his own poetry. To learn more about Arjava’s classes and books, visit http://frankarjavapetter.com

Storytelling to Understand the Journey, with Arjava Petter

Happy Wednesday!
Today is part two of our series with Arjava Petter, international Reiki Teacher and Author. In this conversation, Arjava shares his relationship to storytelling and how it helps him to understand the journey. He was even encouraged by an astrologer to return to his passion of writing, after he had given it up. Ultimately, the controversy around his first book, Reiki Fire, ended up being a catalyst for Arjava to begin teaching globally.
