Reiki, Gratitude and Kindness with Frans Stiene
Episode Overview
- Reiki is described as an inner bright light of kindness, love, compassion and gratitude, with hands-on healing as just one part of the system.
- Unconditional gratitude and kindness are framed as core practices, rather than tools used to get something in return.
- Letting go of anger about the past and worry about the future helps people stay present and genuinely grateful for what is happening now.
- Effective hands-on healing comes from dropping the sense of “I am giving” and resting in shared openness, with no fixed giver or receiver.
- Spiritual practice is presented as part of ordinary daily life, supported by simple methods such as meditation, precepts, mantras and hands-on healing.
“Imagine if today we all decide on being kind, then there's world peace.”
How can compelling narratives motivate and inspire others? This conversation between Janine Lowe and Reiki teacher Frans Stiene offers a gentle reminder that everyday life can be the heart of spiritual practice. You’ll hear Frans share how years of severe back problems led him from conventional treatments to a local healer in the Himalayas, an encounter that “literally blew my mind” and sparked a hunger for books on Buddhism, Hinduism, yoga and, eventually, Reiki.
His journey winds through India, Nepal, Japan, Australia and beyond, with teachers who constantly pointed him back to one simple idea: spirituality is life, not something separate from it. Frans breaks down Reiki in clear, down‑to‑earth language. Rather than just a hands‑on healing technique, he explains that Reiki traditionally points to “your inner great bright light” – qualities like kindness, love, compassion and gratitude.
From that inner space, hands‑on healing becomes far more than a set of techniques; it becomes a shared experience where “there is no giver, no receiver, it’s just to be together in that luminosity.” Janine and Frans talk about unconditional gratitude and kindness, why doing them just to “get something out of it” backfires, and how his teachers stressed embodiment over intellectual understanding.
Frans also lays out the Reiki precepts in everyday terms: letting go of anger rooted in the past, worry about the future, and learning to be genuinely grateful for what’s happening right now. They finish by chatting about Frans’ beginner‑friendly book, *Discovering Reiki: Be the Light of Gratitude and Kindness*, written “in a simple language” so anyone with “a little curiosity and an open mind” can step into the practice without feeling overwhelmed.
If you’ve ever wondered whether kindness, gratitude and a simple spiritual practice could change how you move through the day, this conversation might be the nudge you’ve been waiting for.
