I never particularly got the whole "cuckservative" thing, I did get it's value to shock conservatives with the realization that they are whiny, pathetic and repeatedly give up ground to the enemy. However at the end of the day that is what a conservative is by definition. As George Lincoln Rockwell had already said seemingly so long ago: "Conservatives are sissies". That behavior is the very core of conservatism, but here we can look at the other implication of this new title – attempt at differentiation. Upset rank and file conservatives saying to their establishment representatives "you failed us, you're no real conservative, you're a CUCKservative, you betrayed what we stand for, you're a sell-out". And yet the people using that title are the same, they just realize how badly they are losing and they don't see that their very position is premised on inevitable defeat, so they put the blame elsewhere to hang on to their delusions.
So I'd like to give you a run down of what conservatism actually is, then we can also look at the reactionary position and finally the Revolutionary position and dispel some illusions around those terms as well.
Conservatism comes from the word conserve. The entire point of conservatism is to conserve or preserve something – that's it. As such this concept is entirely relative to whatever has been established prior, most likely by people of strong character and vision or principles, like conquerors and revolutionaries. Their descendants inherit these things but they never worked to get them in the first place, however the first few generations fight to build on and expand from there because they still have a direct connection to that original glory. Yet as time marches on descendants become more and more disconnected from that original glory and take their position for granted though they certainly still enjoy that position, purely for the benefits they receive – they no longer understand the glory, they only understand the formal benefits and comforts. This is the downward slope of the inherently losing position that carries the name of conservatism. It's an attempt to stop something that is destined to die from dying just for the sake of its formal benefits. The glory, the living spirit that established the structure that provides said benefits has long since left, it's but an empty carcass that is falling apart, however this carcass is the most precious thing to those who never knew the glory in the first place.
To put it simply: someone builds an Empire, their immediate descendants build or expand its spirit and glory, inevitably the spirit and glory fade and what is left is but a formal structure inhabited by people who never knew the spirit and glory and only knew the benefits of the structure – the positions and titles, the basic political power and thus they don't get the point of why the Empire was built in the first place. When the spirit and glory are gone the Imperium becomes merely an Empire. So they are focused solely on keeping the structure and they want to preserve it. This is the very premise of the ancient teachings on the cycles of rise and fall in societies, for instance the Greek Anacyclosis.
This is something that the German thinker Ernst Niekisch had spoken of after Germany's defeat in the First World War, describing the conflict between the generations, namely the generation of old men who lost the Empire and the young generation who never got to know the Empire of their ancestors: "These young hearts have never been impressed and inspired directly by the proud grandeur of their Fatherland. Political anger, social poverty, economic decline – that is what is self-evident to them, always in their face, their personal experience. Prewar Germany was nothing more than historical memory, akin to the memory of the Empire of Otto I, Frederick Barbarossa, with the memory of the great and incomparable state of Prussian King Friedrich. But if the old generation were to chide the youth for such "historical" viewpoint of Bismarck's empire, it might have received a reply in the form of bold and impertinent questions: Wasn't the fate of this empire in your hands? Were you not the ones who lost this empire in the first place? How do you have the audacity to still so arrogantly claim your own importance on the political scene?"
However, again, conservatism has no core of it's own. It is always relative to what preceded it, thus conservatism isn't inherently "right-wing", if you still buy into that formal differentiation. Conservatism is always different from place to place. In the United States conservatism stands to conserve the Constitution, the ideas of the Founding Fathers and so on. Which all happen to be liberal in the classic sense of the word, of the government as being nothing more than a "guard dog" of society, with little to no involvement in the economy and social affairs, only enforcing the law and protecting it from enemies without. Is this not the american conservative/republican motto of small government? Compare that to conservatism in the British Empire that at one point defended absolute monarchy against constitutional monarchy, defending the big government, conserving its power. Hell, look at USSR, think there was no Soviet Conservatism? It stood against Gorbachev's reforms, attempting to conserve the old soviet system, which later became reactionary, but more on that specific example later.
Conservatism is always a defensive position of what had been established prior, thus it is always relative and has no core of its own and it differs from place to place and time to time. It defends the formal structure that has lost it's real core, what gave it life in the first place. Conservatism defends the purely material, formal outer shell, it mistakes the outward form for the essence. Just as when the animating energies or the soul leaves the body, once the essence is gone, once the life force that created the form in the first place is gone, the form is already as good as dead and it's decay and death are inevitable. But the conservative grasps hold of it in desperation, not wanting to lose what he has, but inevitably failing and coming to terms with their failure but he'll just try again: "Well we lost some ground, but not a step back from here on in! Oh, we lost again. Well no mo-oh, it happened again. Well this will be the las-damn it!" Slowly but surely, they give ground and what they try to conserve is chipped away at, piece by piece. They can't defend it, because they fight for something temporary and that is fated to pass away, mistaking it for the end all and be all.
Thus all conservatives, by definition, are cuckservatives and sissies. The name is a nice zinger, but it doesn't do much in of itself other than feed the delusion of those who use it to signify that they are different, that they are the "real" conservatives who will uphold the "conservative values". Mind you that with the United States we do have a special case, namely that it was built entirely on the ideas of the founding fathers, which from the get go do not reflect the values that we Fascists uphold. Defending them is no better than defending the Soviet values, which likewise came about from man-made ideas. It's simply a choice between a liberal republic and a state socialist republic. And still both concepts decayed over time into merely formal structures, not even the original ideas remained.
Here we move on to Reactionaries. The difference between conservatives and reactionaries is purely in their stance, the former one being defensive (conserving and preserving), the latter is offensive (attempting to restore the old structure). At the end of the day, however, it is a thin line and one could say that reactionaries are at the very least admirable for being more pro-active, yet it is still a fight for an empty husk – not reanimating the corpse, just trying to rebuild it from the rot it decayed into. To give an example of actual reactionaries you can once again look to USSR, reinforcing the point of how it is likewise a relative position with no core of its own. The old guard of the Soviet system formed the State Committee on the State of Emergency and attempted to stop Gorbachev's reforms during the August Coup of 1991. Some people in Russia like to entertain the idea that the USSR could have lasted a while longer had the coup succeeded, but it's decay and collapse were inevitable, because likewise the spirit and ideas that built it in the first place were no longer present in the political elite that was simply engaged in basic politics.
Reactionaries are but a braver kind of conservative, someone who is willing to take real action to retake the husk, but again, they place the value into something that itself only gained value from elsewhere, from the essence that had built it in the first place and without it, it is surely doomed. Reactionaries may even use violent means but their fight is nevertheless destined to fail, which was best explained by the Russian thinker Nikolay Vasilyevich Ustryalov, who likewise wrote on the difference of form and essence: "Violence cannot save a dying idea, but it can provide immeasurable help to the rising idea."
And the rising idea always comes in the form of Revolution, regardless of the means for it's rise, but again, violence can provide it immeasurable help. Whilst man-made ideas are by their nature lies, figments of the imagination, as opposed to the Natural Order and Truth that we as Fascists and National-Socialists uphold, they still have power to them and have a certain spirit which can sway masses of people and the course of history.
Thus Revolutions are inhabited by something living, they have some essence to them (the Truth or Idea), when talking about real revolutions that is, like the March on Rome which was a revolution through a show of force, or Hitler's rise to power which was a revolution made through entry and reform. Even the Russian October Revolution, which was a violent, living revolution (as opposed to the February Revolution of decay or the events of Black October). We're not talking here about "revolutions" that are orchestrated by (geo)political interests or which happen as a slow decay, like the Social Justice Warrior degeneracy we see today. Revolutions are always passionate, they breathe fire, fire that destroys and creates, regardless of what it is that it creates. SJW and modern liberal/democratic change is more akin to a parasite or growing rot than a fire-breathing dragon.
Revolutions are always aimed at the decaying husk, they burn away the husk and create space for something new, which can be either good or bad but it is nevertheless full of life rather than decay and death. You can't compare modern commies and SJW's to the original communist revolutionaries, the latter would probably kill the former had they ever met. But the original communist is long since dead, and he was a worthy foe, unlike the scum we face today which don't deserve the title of enemy – you can respect an enemy for his dedication to his beliefs and readiness to die for them, even if he is dead wrong. SJW/PC/Feminist/etc scum are just parasites that can be easily crushed underfoot, they don't wish to die because what they fight for is comfort and pleasure which cannot be enjoyed while dead – they're merely pawns to our real enemies who profit from the decay they create.
What's more important, however, is that real Revolutions are all about essence, they will destroy any form that stands in the way of the victory for their essence, whatever form doesn't oppose them will be infused with the victorious essence, though essence of ideas will always be at odds with the essence of Truth. And here comes into play the difference between Ideas and Truth. Ideas are lies of the imagination, man-made concepts of how the world should be. The Truth is how the world actually is. Ideas can substitute one another, rather reflective of Marx's view of how history is a continuous cycle of revolutions, which in turn takes cues from the concept of cycles of rise and fall in societies that we spoke of earlier. Thus the essence of an idea is temporary, though they may reoccur over time. The Truth, however, is eternal, it is always one and the same. Forms may come and go, regardless of the essence that lives and fades in them, but the Truth remains the same. Thus our struggle is an eternal one.
We don't fight for forms, and that is our primary difference from the conservatives and reactionaries. We do not fight for mere ideas, even if they are revolutionary. We fight for the Truth. It is eternal but forms are not and so the Truth may fade from a given form and a revolution becomes necessary to bring back the essence of Truth. Which is what puts us at odds with conservatives and reactionaries – they protect a decaying husk, they protect something dead and lifeless. They defend the product of essence, whereas we fight for restoring essence itself even if its old form must be destroyed. What puts us at opposition with revolutions of Ideas is that they are lies. We have no allies in conservatives and reactionaries, or revolutionaries who do not share our loyalty to the Truth.
Let's clear up something else, however, before we draw this to a close. Namely the confusion around the title of Conservative Revolutionaries, which is essentially just a clumsy way of explaining a Revolutionary struggle for essence, as it is again confused with the form. It was probably the first attempt made to articulate this direction in some categorical terms and thus a rather clumsy title was formed, driven by the desire so signify that this is a living, revolutionary force that wants to defend that, which made the old form great, back when it used to be infused with essence. At the end of the day, however, it is the same force as us Fascists and National-Socialists, though it was more concerned with self-analysis than action. I'm adding this part to make it perfectly clear to people who would use this title to differentiate themselves from "those bad fascists and nazis" that you won't fool anyone but yourselves – we fascists know what it actually is and our enemy can smell that it is something related to us. It is not some other "third position".
Using these terms to differentiate from Fascism and National-Socialism is futile, just as futile as it is to attempt to differentiate between "real" conservatives and "cuckservatives" – the former a delusion indulged in an attempt to protect oneself from the enemy's criticism, the latter a delusion indulged in an attempt to protect oneself from admitting that he stands for something that is doomed to fail and fall. And this is why Fascism always was and forever will be a Revolutionary force – it fears not the destruction of forms, of what exists purely on paper fading away. So long as there is essence it can make manifest new forms, ones infused with living spirit, appropriate for a new time and a new place. That is our struggle, to carry on the Flame of Truth, from one torch to another, while the conservatives fawn over burnt wood that the Flame had already departed from.
There are no conservative or reactionary principles, they have none. We carry the principles, they obsess with the byproduct. The only driving "principle" behind these notions is that of the walking dead – to keep something lifeless from collapsing.

Sci-fi author Rasheedah Phillips believes her Afrofuturist philosophies can be used as a salve to heal the wounded.
It's one half of her fight against racial inequity and injustice.
The other half is her full-time job as a housing attorney with nonprofit Community Legal Services. Phillips's two-frontwar is now physically melding in Sharswood with the launch of Community Futures Lab, a project that embraces Afrofuturism as a community response to redevelopment and displacement happening in the North Philadelphia neighborhood.
Phillips told PhillyVoice the project aims to document the community's "stories and memories of Sharswood/Blumberg as it once was and as they would like to see it become."Read the full story

The Rev. Holly McKissick, pastor of St. Andrew Christian Church, Olathe, Kan.: Read the fine print on your homeowner's insurance policy: "Acts of God" — tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and the like — aren't covered. Of course, many of us don't believe God "acts" in such a way, causing catastrophes and cancers, guiding events great and small.
We live in an unfair world. Sometimes, that's attributable to human behavior.
I knew that in first grade when the black girl sitting in front of me was unfairly blamed for taking my lunch money.
Sometimes, it's just random. Natural disasters strike in patterns that carry no meaning. God does not cause the avalanche to bury unfaithful hikers, or the tornado to skip over the faithful.
It's difficult to answer your question — is God fair — because underneath it are assumptions that do not fit my view of God. Rather than a God who acts in a controlling, coercive way, manipulating outcomes, my experience is that God acts, as process theologians describe, in a calling, persuading and inviting way.
For me, the more helpful question is whether we are fair.
In the face of climate change, are we working to minimize environmental damage to vulnerable communities? Do we work for equity in employment and schools?
That question is no easier, but at least it begins with a theology that makes sense to me, with a God who joins us to celebrate the gracious and mourn the tragic.
Rabbi Avi Weinstein, head of Jewish studies, Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy: "...execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates" (Zechariah 8:16)
It is clear that if we are mandated by the Prophet to be equitable that God expects no less from himself. We also realize that often what is perceived as fair for one individual may seem egregiously unjust to another. Ultimate justice is something to which we aspire, but never realize.
Once, long ago, I was attending a class given by Rabbi Benzion Brook, an ethical master in Jerusalem.
He taught:
Once a man was visiting a community for a weekend and attended Sabbath services.
When it was time to honor people with Torah blessings, he noticed that the sexton seemed to be calling random people up without any regard to their age or their status.
After the service, he went to complain about what he perceived as an unfair practice.
The sexton said, "You have only been here one day, and you feel that there is no order here? Look, I have a list, and I make sure that everything is in order."
Rabbi Brook turned to us and said, "We are only on this earth a short time. God, too, has a list, and everything is in order."
We are connected to those before us and those whom we will succeed. We also believe that, ultimately, all is fair and in order.

text: Alexi Kirsil 306 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 I'm terribly new at this. (Both for programming and the community here) So, this black magic you call programming, I've been trying to summon a demon using Slick, but it seems that I need more information to conjure the next big hit in the industry. (In reality, I'm an apprentice summoner and will likely be slaughtered at the sight of anything bigger than a half-dead squirrel in a wheelchair.) Anyways, while I'm still taking the baby steps, I've been playing around with Slick in Java.

They make things so neat and tidy. And I'd really like to try to keep my... scribbles clean. Classes, similar question, although this one might be too vague.

Many parents fumble with their first child and often make mistakes that will affect the child's growth and development. Here is a quick overview on how to assess if your child should or shouldn't already be weaned from your bedside at night.
See more: Planning to innovate your room? Read these quick tips first!
The consensus in parenthood is this: You will make mistakes, but always make sure your child does not suffer because of it. They say it takes a whole neighborhood to raise a child, but in the end you're the one in charge of taking care of your son or daughter. It is your responsibility to mold your child into a well-rounded individual, and though you're never perfect, you always have to try your best.
Many parenting mistakes are done with good intentions, and the attempt to make your child their own person is one of these. Timing is crucial in this matter; separating your toddler from you at night may bolster their independence, but leaving them by themselves in too big a space – like a king-size mattress in their own room – can also make them think you don't want to be with them anymore. While you can usually reason out in hushed, gentle tones that this is for their own good, children's minds are wired in such a way that a huge change can be imprinted in their psyche and stay with them as they grow older. In fact, many adult psyche problems can be traced back to events in their childhood that are usually brushed off as trivial but actually did more damage than they thought.
Kids will need their own space when they reach a certain age, but some are weaned too early, and some are weaned too late.
The truth is this: even the best king-size mattress can't cushion a child from their nighttime fears. Though babies were unaware of the subtle change between the crib and the bed, toddlers have a more developed consciousness, especially in the formative years. What a child needs more than their self-actualization is the stability of a parent, and it is the parent's responsibility to both reassure their children while letting them discover the world on their own.
Before separating your child from your bedside and putting them in another room, always assess their needs first. If they have special needs that have to be done by an adult, separation at such a young age isn't an option. If they are prone to night terrors or have strong fits while asleep, slowly assimilate them into a healthier sleeping habit before leaving them by themselves at night. Only move them to another room when they ask to, or when they seem to be ready to separate from you.
When you finally deem them ready to stay in another room, always encourage them to come to you when they need you. Don't lock your room and always answer when they knock on your door. Never make your child feel like they're being neglected at night. A child's imagination is the most active when they're unconscious, and sometimes they'll need your presence when they have nightmares.
And though the best king-size mattress of 2015 (https://www.pinterest.com/top1mattress/top-best-rated-seller-king-size-mattress-2014-2015/) will make your child comfortable, they still need you the most. Always be there for your child, and help them turn into people with healthy bodies and healthy minds.

West Ham chaos: No police inside stadium for 'high-risk' Chelsea clash sparks fight fears
SICKENING fan violence at West Ham matches has failed to persuade the Met to put cops inside the London Stadium for games in the near-future.
Tensions are running extremely high at the east London club after footage exclusively shot by Daily Star online showed West Ham and Middlesbrough fans punching each other last weekend.
The club's season has been marred by fan violence inside and outside the stadium.
With fierce London rivals Chelsea set to play at the London Stadium at the end of the month, cops called a meeting to reveal their plans to stop fans fighting.
More than 5,000 Blues fans are expected to make the trip across London for the crunch game.
More officers will be deployed at the high risk Category C match than were used for the Hammers' huge derby match against Millwall in 2009 where one fan was knifed.
One Millwall fan posted after the game: "Let's just pray that whoever it is pulls through ok… unless they're West ****, then let them die."
Only three police officers will be INSIDE the stadium for the West Ham-Chelsea clash – but they will be sitting in a control room high above the west stand.
The Met Police spokesman told Daily Star Online: "Should officers be called to an incident in the stadium appropriate technical measures will be taken to meet commuication requirements."
Met bosses have refused to have officers in the ground from kick-off because they say there must be a police radio system in operation.
The radio system will not be installed by October 26 for Chelsea's visit.
"Most fans want reassurance"West Ham fan Sean Whetstone
Life-long West Ham fan Sean Whetstone represented supporters at the police meeting on Thursday.
He said: "Most fans want reassurance. The police say that they are not going into the stadium."
Mounted police, police dogs and a police helicopter will be operating outside the 60,000-seater stadium.
Police told the meeting – like at the Middlesbrough game – more than 1,000 stewards will be on hand at cup game with Chelsea on October 26.
However Chelsea fans will not be held back by cops after the match – sparking fears of supporters brawling like they did when Middlesbrough visited last weekend.
It comes as West Ham chief Karren Brady has been forced to explain why she said the club had "no culture" at sports business summit.
She later said she meant no corporate culture after fans took to Twitter to express their outrage.

Hull residents who don't want trick-or-treaters this Halloween are due to get extra protection.
Humberside Police is deploying additional street patrols around the city to dissuade revellers from knocking on the doors of people who do not wish to participate.
Such householders can also get special posters from Hull neighbourhood officers which tell trick-or-treaters they are not welcome.
And egg and flour retailers are being advised against selling these trick-or-treat staples to youngsters in the run-up to October 31.
Young people will also be told not to buy these items on crime prevention posters and in advice posted on the local force's Facebook page and website.
Andy White, a PC with Humberside Police, says children should have fun during Halloween, but it must not be at others' expense.
The safety-awareness initiative is putting the spotlight on anti-social behaviour and the danger of break-ins while people are answering the door to strangers or out at Halloween events.

Bing app for Windows 8 along with six new Bing app (Travel, Weather, Maps, News, Finance and Sports) now available to Windows 8 users.
"Searching with the Bing app is fast and fluid, whether you use a touch device to tap and swipe or type and click with a keyboard and mouse. Visual results and images take center stage letting you quickly find what you're looking for, so you can search less and do more," Microsoft stated.
Let's look at a couple of the key feature of Bing for Windows 8 as well as the new apps for Travel, Weather, Maps, News, Finance and Sports powered by Bing.
Microsoft says, that Bing on Windows 8 is fast and provides features such as "autosuggest, search results, and fluid navigation using tap and swipe."
Fast and fluid scrolling through the continuous horizontal list of results with a swipe of your finger is immediately satisfying. Rich answers provide instant fulfillment of your search intent based on smart captions and image previews.
Bing app also comes with a more immersive image search and shows a comprehensive collage listing of images. Tapping or clicking on any one of them takes you to a full-screen preview, and a swipe of the finger lets you scroll through the next set of results.
Bing's search charm lets you initiate search from anywhere in the modern Windows experience. Similarly, the Windows 8 snap, presents the list of search results side-by-side with your browser, allowing you to navigate web pages without leaving search results instead of flipping back and forth to see other results!
The app also integrates with the share charm allowing users to share a specific result on their social network profiles with a simple swipe of your finger.
- "The new Travel app lets you explore more than 3,000 destinations from all over the world. Swipe or click through rich resources, such as in-depth articles, attraction information, maps, weather conditions, beautiful pictures including 360 degree panoramas, and much more.
- Weather app offers a gorgeously rendered preview of current weather conditions, helping you prepare for the latest conditions with hourly, daily and 10-day forecasts.
- Maps app makes it easy to find the places you're looking for and helps you get there faster.
- News app makes it easy for you to stay up-to-date on what's happening in the world from reliable sources from around the web.
- Finance app provides a quick overview of key market indices via a live tile and helps you stay on top of fast-changing market conditions.
- Sports app helps you stay on top of the sports, teams, and players that you care most about. The app features high-resolution pictures to give you an immersive experience that makes you feel like you are sitting in the front row," Bing said.

The Effects of Reiki Therapy on Pain and Anxiety in Patients
December 16, 2012 | by Bronwen Stiene
American Journal of Hospice & Palliative Medicine. 2012 Jun; 294: 290-294.
BACKGROUND: Reiki is a system of natural healing techniques administered by laying of hands and transferring energy from the Reiki practitioner to the recipient. METHODS: We investigated the role of Reiki in the management of anxiety, pain and global wellness in cancer patients. Building on the results of a pilot project conducted between 2003 and 2005 by a volunteer association at our hospital, a wider, 3-year study was conducted at the same center.
Reiki Hospice Volunteering Doesn't Stop After The Patient Has Passed
November 29, 2012 | by Scott Kravis
After volunteering for about a year at Barnabas Health Hospice and Palliative Care by making the rounds to see hospice patients that were admitted to the hospital I met the bereavement coordinator/ counselor and I suggested that Reiki treatments would benefit those whom are grieving. She was very open to the idea of Reiki treatments for the loved ones of those that have passed. The bereavement councilor is also a certified Integral Yoga instructor and very involved with the Integral Yoga community so she understood the concepts of "Energy", "Oneness" etc…. and their benefits. On the patient side of this hospice the administration was not so open to, and was skeptical about, Reiki treatments for patients and would require a Doctors prescription even if the patient requests a treatment, if the doctor does not approve they could not get a treatment from a hospice volunteer like myself.
Reiki Volunteers get great results in USA Medical Centre
November 05, 2012 | by Bronwen Stiene
Here is some interesting research about the system of Reiki and volunteers in a USA Hospital.
"Anxiety before Reiki treatment was 2.45 and after Reiki was 0.85. Pain before Reiki treatment averaged 2.9, but after Reiki treatment the level fell to 1.55. Nausea averaged 0.65 before Reiki treatment, but fell to 0.3 after the Reiki session. "Overall we saw a 71% reduction in "stress," a 65% reduction in "anxiety," a 54% reduction in "nausea" and "pain" decreased by 47%," explained Lynne Danik, Director, Volunteer Resources for Hunterdon Healthcare."
Reiki in Hospice

Typically we think of Reiki as a healer and balancer but when we are dying how does that play
out? What is healed and what is balanced when the body is succumbing to disease or the effects of old
age? Do we balance energy centers? Do we only focus on areas of pain?

Some historical information about healing in Japan:
February 13, 2012 | by Edward R. Drott
Gods, Buddhas, and Organs
Buddhist Physicians and Theories
of Longevity in Early Medieval Japan
Literary and historical texts from the eighth century onward record countless examples of priests being employed to pray or perform incantations for the recovery of those suffering from severe illnesses, particularly members of the imperial family or nobility. The Shoku Nihongi, for example, indicates that a total of one hundred and twenty-six "healing meditation masters" (Jp. kanby? zenji ????) had been recruited in attempts to restore the retired Emperor Sh?mu to health.
Mystery and Mastery
February 02, 2012 | by Joy Vernon
At this time last year, I decided to join an organization called Shibumi International Reiki Association. This group was developed by Frans and Bronwen Stiene, who run the International House of Reiki and teach Usui Reiki Ryôhô, which is one of the Reiki lineages I am trained in. As a member, in addition to upholding the Vision, Mission and Philosophy of Shibumi, I also agreed to uphold their Codes of Practice, which includes, among a great many other things, the requirement that members not use the term Reiki Master. As the Shibumi website puts it, "The term Reiki Master is not utilized by Shibumi members due to the understanding that one does not master Reiki (spiritual energy)."
July 02, 2011 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Shugend? (also spelled Shugendo) can be loosely translated as "path of training to achieve spiritual powers." Shugend? is an important Kami-Buddha combinatory sect that blends pre-Buddhist mountain worship, Kannabi Shink? ????? (the idea that mountains are the home of the dead and of agricultural spirits), shamanistic beliefs, animism, ascetic practices, Chinese Yin-Yang mysticism and Taoist magic, and the rituals and spells of Esoteric (Tantric) Buddhism in the hope of achieving magical skills, medical powers, and long life.
Buddhism in the West
July 02, 2011 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Today Buddhism and Daoism, in forms often quite different from Asian origins, are paths that "westerners" choose to follow. Zen, Tantric Buddhism, and Daoism as spiritual practice in western languages and cultures, are quite different from Asian origins. And, indeed, so it must be, to succeed in any context. The American and European fascination with "Zen sitting" is simply not found in Asia. Zen sitting as a disciplined practice is only used in the training of novice monks in Japan.
More Shugendo and Reiki
September 01, 2010 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Tokyo, Japan—Urban dwellers, looking for something missing from the day-to-day grind of their working lives, are literally heading to the mountains to reconnect with nature and find spiritual fulfillment.
They are devotees of Shugendo, a religion based on ancient Japanese mountain worship that incorporates aspects of Buddhism, Shinto and other faiths.
Among the followers is a 33-year-old man from Tokyo who works weekdays as a sales representative. On his days off, he heads for the mountains, donning a traditional outfit, complete with a conch-shell horn and straw sandals.
He is a yamabushi, a mountain priest trainee. His grueling training regime includes a discipline called nyubu, which involves walking steep mountain paths for a few days while visiting sacred sites and worshipping gods and Buddha. He has a religious name: Shinanobo Zuiryu.
Shugendo DVD "Where Mountains Fly"
September 01, 2010 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
« In the middle of the night, on the 19th day of the 8th month of the 3rd year of the Sôchô era, the sky was filled with a multitude of sounds. The country was shaken as under a powerful earthquake. This mountain arrived through the air, and came down from the sky to rest in our country. Ômine is the place where it landed, and stopped. Ômine is a part of the South-Eastern corner of the country in which Buddha was born. It broke off from the South-Western part of the Diamond grotto on the Vulture Peak.
After that, nothing is known. »
In 538 AD, a mountain flew over from India to land in Japan. The arrival of Mt Ômine in the Kii peninsula is a metaphor for the introduction of Buddhism to Japan. The DVD "Where Mountains Fly" takes you deep into Japanese sacred mountains by way of two narratives: a legend dating back to the 12th c. AD, and contemporary religious practices in the mountains.
Japanese Koan on Compassion
June 19, 2010 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Compassion is one of the Reiki precepts.
We really require great wisdom to be truly compassionate and the system of Reiki gives you the tools to delve into that compassionate space through the practice of its five elements. Each situation we encounter will require a different compassion - there is not one way, but many - just as all humans are unique and work in their own individual ways.
Have a read of this Japanese koan and see what you think about this as a form of compassion.. or is it? Koans are meant to be contemplated and meditated upon. We suggest you try it.
Finding Stillness
June 04, 2010 | by Reed Everingham
Being a Reiki practitioner, my day-to-day practice includes traditional Japanese breathing techniques and other forms of meditation.
I sometimes find the discipline of a daily practice challenging and am always grateful when new ways of maintaining this practice unfold.
In my home there are many animals including one cat and many fishes. My partner is a fish enthusiast and so keeps a number of aquariums exquisitely stocked for our viewing pleasure. The tanks are filled with an amazing variety of plant-life and Amazonian fish species. In my mind, the tanks themselves are more like aquatic gardens.
Tendai Calligraphy
May 19, 2010 | by Frans Stiene
Recently I attended a Tendai Symposium in San Francisco where one of the top Japanese calligraphic artist gave a demonstration - his name is Houkai Shibayama (Senkei) and he is considered to be a "living legend" in Japan. It was amazing to see this gentle man creating such powerful work with his brushstrokes.
The style of calligraphy is called Shousho, a writing style with few characters, in which you can find its symbolic nature.
What does it mean "to live"?
May 01, 2010 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
What is it 'to live'?
The movie "Peace on Wheels - IKIRU (To Live)" is a reflection on peace and living through the world of Hiroko Kimura, artist, poet and activist. Having un
I love the earth,
I love people,
and I love myself.
And another poem that maybe those in the Reiki world can relate directly to:
When I eased nature all alone
For the first time in my life,
The word "impossible"
Went out of my vocabulary.
From Hiroku's experience it is possible to see that we must never feel limited by our bodies. By connecting to the world around us we can truly live.
Shugendo Now & the System of Reiki
February 19, 2010 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
If you're interested in finding out more about the history of the system of Reiki and its influences then take a read of this article by the International House of Reiki.
It explains a little about the relationship between the system of Reiki and Shugendo as well as what Shugendo is.
Then it provides links to all sorts of things Shugendo as well as the trailer to a beautiful new movie called Shugendo Now.
The Title of Reiki Master and the Precepts
February 16, 2010 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
The term Reiki Master was never used by the founder of the system of Reiki, Mikao Usui.
It was introduced when the translation of Japanese to English became necessary as the system moved out of Japan.
The question that we'd like to ask is this… is this the right title to call yourself when you are teaching, especially in our modern age?
There are many Reiki teachers today who feel uncomfortable calling themselves Reiki Master. This is because the title implies that the Reiki Master masters spiritual energy (Reiki). For this reason Shibumi International Reiki Association asks their Registered Practitioners and Teachers to refrain from using the title Reiki Master, instead calling themselves Reiki Teachers.
Healing with Reiki in Bosnia
January 03, 2010 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
One of Shibumi's members, Jenny Newman, has worked for The Healing Network in Bosnia as a volunteer Reiki practitioner:
"Healing Hands Network is a charity born in response to the atrocities of the Bosnian war and begun its work there in 1996 after Vicki Poole a Bowen Technique practitioner was moved to do more following a visit to Sarajevo. She recruited a few more therapists and in 1997 the charity was formed. Since then a continuous flow of volunteers has grown and expanded the original concept of HHN; today around 25,000 voluntary treatments have been given with up to 3,000 treatments being given each year."
Mikao Usui and the Samurai
December 29, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
It is said that Mikao Usui's ancestors were Samurai. But who and what were the Samurai?
Many Samurai practiced esoteric spiritual teachings, like Mikkyo, and worshipped various Buddha's and war deities. Often these deities and Buddhas were depicted on the Samurai's outfits, like helmets, swords and more.
The Metropolitan Museum in New York is hosting a wonderful exhibition until the 10th of January 2010. So if you're looking for something to do in the holidays why not visit the MET.
Christmas Wishes to Shibumi Readers and Members
December 24, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Merry Christmas and happy holiday season to all who have followed the evolution of Shibumi International Reiki Association. It has certainly flourished and grown in its first year and we are all excited to head into 2010. We have lots of plans to continue Shibumi's growth, bringing support to the Japanese art of Reiki.
We have included two fun videos for you with our christmas wishes of peace and love to all. Enjoy!
Meditation with monks
December 24, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
A bell tolls at first light. The old timber "nightingale" floors chirp under stockinged feet, there's a whisper of saffron and black robes, a rumour of conversation and the monks enter the temple. Mist drifts around the eaves like incense and there's a chill in the mountain air, yet behind the sliding paper screens it's warm and dark. Low, golden lanterns illuminate an ornate altar, around which the monks sit perfectly still.
The Horse Boy
November 18, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
For all the animal Reiki practitioners out there here is a must see movie and a must read book about a young boy called Rowan who has autism and his father and mother who are looking for ways to help him. Their son would not talk and to them until one day his father placed him on the back of a horse called Betsy. After this they started to look at different methods of healing and finally took Rowan on a journey to Mongolia. Mongolia is a land full of horses and shamanism which was the perfect place to look for healing with horses. The book and movie is all about their journey - a journey as a family in search of healing and hope.
How to use Mantras and Symbols in the system of Reiki
October 25, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
In the system of Reiki specific mantras and symbols are utilized to delve deeper into your own true nature. In Japan, the word for 'symbol' is shirushi and the word for 'mantra' is either jumon or kototama (kotodama). Literally translated, jumon means 'a sound which invokes a specific cosmic vibration' while kototama means 'a word carrying spirit'.
These mantras and symbols are taught in Okuden Reiki Level II and Shinpiden Reiki Level III. Although many modern Reiki schools teach these symbols and mantras as tools for external use, traditionally the Japanese teachings work with them for internal development. The Japanese word 'Okuden' actually means 'inner' or 'hidden teachings', hence the tools taught in the Okuden teachings are employed to find that which is hidden within you; your own true nature. They are seen as keys to unlock your hidden potential, and once you have unlocked it. the tools are no longer required. This, of course, takes many years of dedicated practice and can only be successfully experienced under the qualified guidance of a teacher who has walked the path.
Is modern Japan losing its center?
September 13, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Imagine a nation of people who no longer know where their center lies. That's what Japan has become in recent decades.
One of the major casualties of the Japanese language's rapid and ongoing evolution is the diminishing use of body-related phrases — a phenomenon that reflects how Japanese people's once-visceral connection between their bodies and minds is these days rapidly attenuating.
Within the Japanese teachings of the system of Reiki we work with the hara. This is the area known as the tandien or tanden in China and is a few finger widths below the navel, inside the body. It is the energetic center of the body and the foundation Reiki technique hatsurei ho is based upon the hara.
Making Spiritual Wine
August 19, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
People of all shapes, sizes, religions and beliefs work with the system of Reiki to improve their quality of life. It is also not confined to profession. Shibumi, for example, has members from all types of professions around the world. Some work in offices, some in hospitals, others in restaurants or as ministers of religion. Many of these people combine what they do as their "day job" with their Reiki practice. By the words Reiki practice, we are referring to a daily routine of personal healing which may include meditation, hands-on healing, working with the Reiki precepts and chanting.
If you were a wine maker and a Reiki practitioner what would you do? Here is how one Spanish Reiki practitioner combines her loves…
Japanese Movie and Children's Life Source
August 16, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Yet another fabulous movie by Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki.
Have you ever seen Spirited Away or My Neighbor Totoro? If not hurry to the video store and get them out on DVD.
Hayao Miyazaki is a famous Japanese director and animator and his 2001 movie Spirited Away was the highest-grossing film ever in Japan! One of the interesting things about Miyazaki is that almost all his movies have deep messages about humanity and their connection with the natural elements. Another important aspect is his, often very strong, leading female characters like Satsuki and Mei in My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki in Kiki's Delivery Service and San in Princess Mononoke.
Was the founder of the system of Reiki a Tendai or Shingon practitioner?
August 02, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Due to a current lack of evidence there is a controversy as to whether Mikao Usui, the founder of the system of Reiki, was either a Tendai practitioner or a Shingon practitioner. Both of these practices are Buddhist in origin, yet there are differences and similarities.
By looking back into the history of these practices at who founded them perhaps we can see what Mikao Usui practiced?
Zazen and the System of Reiki
July 30, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Zazen, which literally means sitting meditation, is a popular aspect of many Japanese spiritual practices. During the practices you "just sit" (shikantaza) and calm your mind so that you gain a deep understanding about the nature of your own mind. But how do you sit in zazen and what do you actually do once you're there?
These are questions many people ask, so below is a link to a comprehensive explanation on how to practice zazen, including photo's on how to sit either in seiza or on a chair.
One of the most important elements in zazen is your posture and your breathing.
In many zazen practices you breathe from your hara (belly) - the center of your being - thus creating a feeling of being centered, open and yet grounded. Hara breathing is a major part of many traditional Japanese Reiki practices, like Joshin Kokyu ho and Seshin Toitsu for example.
Was Mikao Usui a Shugenja?
July 27, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Was Mikao Usui, the founder of the system of Reiki, a Shugenja?
Some sources say that Mikao Usui was not only a Tendai practitioner but was also practicing Shugendo. A person who practices Shugendo is called a Shugenja or Yamabushi.
Shugendo is an ancient Japanese practice which focuses on reaching enlightenment in this lifetime through ascetic mountain practices. Shugendo is a mix of esoteric Buddhism, Japanese shamanic practices, Shinto, Chinese Yin/Yang philosophy and Japanese folk beliefs. After 1868 however, the Mejii government ordered a seperation of Buddhist and Shinto elements and outlawed Shugendo because of its mix of Buddhism and Shinto. Some Shugendo temples found protection within both individual Tendai and Shingon Buddhist schools.
Researching the system of Reiki and the Lotus Sutra
July 23, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
It is said that Mikao Usui (the founder of the system of Reiki) was a Tendai Buddhist practitioner.
Let's see what influences this may have had upon his teachings…
Tendai practitioners work with the Lotus Sutra, it is one of the teachings most important sutras. A sutra is a canonical scripture generally based upon ancient oral teachings. Tendai originated from the Chinese Tiantai or the Lotus Sutra School, which is Mahayana Buddhism - one of two main existing forms of Buddhism.
Two main teachings of the Lotus Sutra are that, first, we can all realize Buddhahood in this lifetime (as it is innate within us) and, secondly, to have a direct experience that the self and others are all of one substance. In brief the Lotus Sutra discusses and explains the concept of non-duality.
Within the system of Reiki non-duality is symbolized by the Shinpiden Reiki Level III mantra DKM!
Japanese Mandalas a part of Reiki?
July 21, 2009 | by Scott the Newshound
The exhibition "Japanese Mandalas: Emanations and Avatars" remains through Nov. 29 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; (212) 535-7710, metmuseum.org.
If you're in New York before November 29th enjoy Japanese Mandalas at the MET.
We know that Mikao Usui (the founder of the system of Reiki) was heavily influenced by various traditional Japanese forms including that of Buddhism. Different strains of Buddhism were originally brought across to Japan from China by Dengyo Daishi (767–822) also known as Saicho and Kobo Daishi (774–835AD) also known as Kukai. Saichi began the Tendai school and Kukai that of Shingon. Both Tendai and Shingon forms of Buddhism utilized Mikkyo "secret teachings". The core of the exhibition is based upon the Mandalas of Both Worlds - paired cosmic diagrams of the Diamond World and the Womb World. These mandalas were both taught in Tendai and Shingon Mikkyo practices.
Tendai Nuns and Reiki
July 16, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
It is said that Mikao Usui, the founder of the system of Reiki was a Tendai buddhist practitioner. We can see tendai as an influence upon the system of Reiki, or, if you prefer, we can see where elements of the system have originated from. Don't be confused, this is not to say that we practice buddhism as Reiki practitioners, but it helps us to know where the teachings originated from out of the Japanese culture and philosophy.
Shibumi is interested in tracing back from the system to its origins to help practitioners get a solid grounding in their practice and to help them be aware of what it is they are doing and the motivations and intents behind the practices which have often been forgotten or variegated.
Curing with Kaji the Reiki Way
July 16, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Healing and Esoteric Empowerment in Japan is an interesting article for Reiki practitioners! It focuses on a very traditional healing practices in Japan.
This particular article discusses healing from a Shingon viewpoint and although Mikao Usui was said to be a Tendai practitioner you will find some hidden gems in this article about how to become a vehicle for universal energy.
It describes a healing session where the practitioner, Ven. Ikeguchi Ekan, lays his hand on the head, neck, shoulders, arms, spine and kidneys with the whole session taking only 10 to 15 minutes.

30 days of Being with my Natural Energy
July 14, 2009 | by Bronwen Stiene
A Shibumi Registered Practitioner (Shibumi RP) from California, Joyce Leonard, has taken it on herself to start a blog about her 30 day journey of being with her natural energy.
But what does she mean by that?
Well, have a read of the blog she has created to follow her journey. Many of us can likely relate to exactly what she is talking about. We've included an excerpt here:
I have been abusing chocolate again to the point that I had a headache yesterday…also the 2nd latte of the day didn't help. I went to bed with my head pounding and woke up this morning with the same. This is not the first time.
No Reiki for Catholic Nuns
July 07, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Something is afoot in the Catholic Church.
As many of you know the USA Catholic Bishops wrote a paper in 2009 about the system of Reiki. They wrote that to practice the system of Reiki as a Catholic "would be operating in the realm of superstition" and went on to say that "Since Reiki therapy is not compatible with either Christian teaching or scientific evidence, it would be inappropriate for Catholic institutions, such as Catholic health care facilities and retreat centers, or persons representing the Church, such as Catholic chaplains, to promote or to provide support for Reiki therapy."
In fact, we wrote a response to it here on Shibumi called Reiki and the Catholic Bishops.
I guess we didn't expect it to end there.
To support their paper, according to the online New York Times, the Vatican is now "quietly conducting two sweeping investigations of American nuns, a development that has startled and dismayed nuns who fear they are the targets of a doctrinal inquisition".
And, yes, the system of Reiki is mentioned in the article.

Reiki and the Catholic Bishops
June 06, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
The system of Reiki has come to the attention of the Catholic Church in a publication by The Committee on Doctrine, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, March 25, 2009. This publication is undersigned by eight Catholic Bishops. It can be viewed here under Publications: http://www.usccb.org/dpp/doctrine.htm
Before discussing the paper's contents directly, there is one major question that this publication does not satisfactorily address:
Why did the Committee feel the need to publish a viewpoint on the system of Reiki at all?
It is more than interesting that the Church has gone so far as to comment publicly on the system of Reiki. This is especially true, when on viewing the Committee website, there appear to have only been 13 publications (not including translations) prepared by the Committee in the last 20 years, and that includes "Guidelines for Evaluating Reiki as an Alternative Therapy".1 The other 12 publications involve such topics as the Church's stand on homosexuality, abortion, contraception and the role of the male priest. That the system of Reiki finds itself in the company of such contentious religious issues is astounding. Perhaps why this is so will become more apparent as we discuss the issue further.

I am not a Reiki Master
March 05, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
So, finally someone asks why Shibumi has decided not to use the term Reiki Master, preferring to use Reiki Teacher instead.
Basically it comes down to the fact that there has been great misuse of this term. In the world of Reiki many who do a short Level III course go on to immediately call themselves Reiki Masters. They then continue to call themselves this even though they may not practice or make any effort to work with the system.
The term Reiki Master has lost its meaning.

Primordial Lineage
February 22, 2009 | by Rebecca Holton
Lineage in the Reiki community is one of those tenacious subjects that never really goes away. Many Reiki students first hear about their own lineage from their teacher and, from then on, it can become increasingly relevant to them.
In many traditions, lineage is used as a kind of validation that the practices, methods and teachings taught in the tradition really do stem back to the person who first created them. This means that, within some of the more competitive corners of our Reiki community, lively "my lineage is shorter than your lineage" discussions flourish abundantly. There is often an unspoken belief lurking quietly beneath this kind of discussion, that a shorter lineage can make a teaching more relevant, stronger, or even more directly transmitted from Mikao Usui although, if we examine this view rationally, it is impossible to find any logic or common sense in it. However short their lineage is, any teacher can make changes to the practices they teach.
Unravel the Worry Knot: For Today Only
February 22, 2009 | by Trish Edwards
When I was growing up in North Carolina, I was exposed to some interesting expressions of worry. I learned that you could "worry someone to death", that I could be "worried sick" about something, and that a dog "worries a bone". Someone could be a "worry wart", while someone else "fussed and worried" over the preparation of a meal.
I grew up to find that people carry "worry stones" as a way to focus their nervous ticks. Some cultures create "worry dolls" as a place to store their fears and cares.
So what is worry - and why do we do it?
At long last a Reiki Association to feel 'at home' as a member!
February 14, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Isn't that a lovely comment? And then she wrote "Naturally I have joined".
It's great to see the enthusiasm around this new association.
Why Another Reiki Association?
February 11, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Looking on the internet there are a variety of Reiki associations. Some for specific branches of Reiki, others for anyone practising Reiki, and some for anyone practising a natural therapy. The standards vary enormously between associations! Some have really pushed for higher standards (we would count the excellent Australian Reiki Connection as one of these) while others appear only interested in getting more members by basically having no standards at all.
The Deeper Meaning of Hara
January 05, 2009 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
The hara is regarded as one of the most important aspects of Japanese life and of its people's spiritual practices. But what is it exactly?
Translated from the Japanese hara simply means belly, yet there is so much more to this intriguing word. At a deeper level the word, hara, means one's true nature; who one truly is as a human being. So it is not just a physical centre in the body but also the centre of one's true nature.
It's Raining Rei
December 24, 2008 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
In our recent Dutch Shinpiden Reiki Level III course a calligraphic work of the word Reiki hung on the wall. It stimulated a discussion concerning the first kanji, Rei; the possible meaning behind it and how it relates to hands-on healing and the attunement process.
Working with kanji is amazing – not only does Kanji supply a word for us to read but it often holds a related visual image within its specific brush strokes. Imagine if the English word tree actually looked liked a picture of a tree… well, with kanji it is possible to discover such beauty. Let us look into the first of Reiki's two kanji to find hidden meaning within its visual depths.
The Deeper Meaning of the Word Reiki
December 15, 2008 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
One literal translation of Reiki is spiritual energy or universal energy. We suggest that Reiki may have another meaning - one that does not stem from a literal translation but rather from one's direct experience.
When we practice the various elements that comprise the system of Reiki we utilize spiritual energy (Reiki). Practitioners are surprised when they discover in their practice that different stages exist within this spiritual energy. A path is unearthed and those who conscientiously practice the elements of the system of Reiki gradually see where it is heading.
Reiki Precepts - The Foundation of the System of Reiki
December 15, 2008 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
As you know, the Reiki Precepts are one of five elements of the system of Reiki.
A precept, however, is NOT an affirmation. There has been confusion about their use since great books like Louise Hay's 'You Can Heal Your Life', which includes affirmation work, became popular.
Affirmation work has certain guidelines and usages that are unrelated to precepts (such as the use of the term 'do not'). Perhaps these simple definitions below will help clarify their differences for you.
Anger Management - For Today Only
November 27, 2008 | by Trish Edwards
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to review some of my old yoga DVDs. I do this periodically to help keep my home yoga practice fresh. The last thing I expected to discover was a profound insight into the first Reiki precept: For today only, do not anger.
Anger has been the most challenging precept for me, I confess. To say, "Just for today, do not anger." is almost the same as saying, "Just for today, do not inhale." There are many days that I find myself reacting in anger several times during the day, with varying degrees of intensity. Maybe one of the dogs destroyed a book. Or, someone ran over my foot with a cart at the grocery store. Perhaps a thoughtless turn of phrase in an email hurt my feelings and sparked anger.
Breaking the Reiki Code
October 01, 2008 | by Bronwen and Frans Stiene
Current research into the system of Reiki is bringing to light a great deal of hidden knowledge about the system's beginnings and original intentions. While researching our books, The Reiki Sourcebook, and The Japanese Art of Reiki, we discovered that this is not the sort of knowledge that has deliberately been buried away from prying eyes – rather it has been lying under the dust of an unexplored past. By brushing off some of that dust, this article reveals a code: one that is constantly in play for practitioners across the globe - often unrecognized and unacknowledged.

This Shinwa Fiery Inferno Katana is a truly unique, one-of-a-kind sword. The 28 3/4" blade is forged of Shinwa's unique "Fiery Inferno" Damascus steel which accentuates the black oxidized carbon steel with a secret element that gives it the brilliant fiery orange-red pattern. Each of these blades is hand-forged and will have a completely different pattern than any other sword that comes before it. But this unique blade is not only visually striking, it is also full-tang and fully functional! The handle is wrapped in genuine ray skin and dyed cotton cord using the traditional Japanese sword handle wrapping method. Flames erupt from the handle to create a distinct tsuba that alludes to the fiery inferno Damascus steel of the blade. This sword also includes a piano black, high gloss lacquered wooden scabbard with a matching cord wrap. Overall Length: 40 1/4"
About Shinwa:
Shinwa swords are made by hand using traditional methods in the ancient sword-making township of Lonquan. The sword-making history of this town can be traced back to the twentieth year of the Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty – exceptional sword making continues there still today. The swordsmiths of Lonquan can apprentice for up to six years before they begin to forge these functional works of art on their own.
Each Shinwa sword is hand forged at temperatures of up to 1,100 °F and continuously heated, folded, hammered and shaped before being oil quenched and then straightened. Damascus steel blades are folded as many as ten times to yield up to 2,056 layers of premium Damascus steel. After quenching the blade is then ground and hand sharpened and polished by the swordsmith on a series of wet stones. Each set of these wet stones contains a finer level of silicate particles, which produces an even sharper edge. In the final stages of this painstaking process, the tsuka is wrapped and tsuba and other fittings are added before a thin coat of oil is added to the blade to prevent corrosion.

I bought this as a present for a friend and not only did it ship quickly but the sword iteself is absolutely beautiful! As a first time buyer from this site i am more than impressed i shall definitely buy again.
I would recemend thid as a gift ro anything good tang the blade looks epic and also good quality
It was a true sword and can say its everything they say.
If this Id a truly hand crafted katana and wet stone sharpened if done properly as the 1 star rater mentioned it should cut bushes in fact if it's folded cooled and sharpened well enough it should cut an average bamboo mat with clear clean cuts unless the metal is weak or the forging improper which is truly disappointing I own many hand crafted true katana and I would have added this to my collections if any one should reply and submit a message of this sword being more reliable I'd like to know why you believe it is as such I practice kenjutsu and batto is this sword fast to draw well balanced strong and edged as a katana should be or is it as Benjamin had mentioned. Watashi wa Anaya no henji o matte arigato.
This is my first time buying from TrueSwords and I'll most likely buy again the sword is amazing, sturdy and well built, really beautiful. The only possible complaints I would have is that it's pretty dull on the edges and I bought a cleaning kit with it but the clove oil either leaked or was sent half empty. Also, as far as the 1* review, it's not fair to judge a sword on your own stupidity, it's a weapon not a pair of shears, don't swing it at bushes.
My order took only 3 days to reach me. Very good customer service personnel. The swords I ordered are every bit of what I hoped for and more. I will definitely buy here again.
not sure the reason for bad reviews :/ ive used trueswords before, but this is the first sword ive actually bought from them, and it will not be the last. its a really beautiful sword. it was oily at first, but easy to clean. didnt shipthat sharp, but that is easily fixed as well. not sure how durable it is, as i usse it for decoration, but from what i can tell, its a sturdy sword. if you want a nice, good-looking sword, this is the one to get.
This was my second sword from True Swords and it will probably be my last. I bought this sword expecting that the steel would be able to withstand a few light hits against small bushes at the very least. It was severely scratch after only a few light hits, and the black coating was really damaged. I was incredibly excited after this arrived, and twenty minutes later I was discouraged, sad, and my love for true swords was damaged. Do not buy this sword unless it is for decoration, because, for my blade, at least, YOU WILL REGRET IT. I want my $115 dollars back (I bought it on closeout). There were also small metal pieces on the handle that cut my hands. It is also dowsed in probably enough oil to make a plate of tacos, much more than is necessary.
Response: Please contact our customer service department at 800-735-3326.
I love the blade!!! The orange looks great my first five minutes looking at it i cut myself about a centimeter into my finger while clean off the oil. It is the sharpest sword ever!!! The only complants are that the sword is extremly unbalanced, the handle is very poorly made, and i had the 3 day shipping and it took 4 days. But all in all a good sword, i think that it is worth the $100 dollar price
Great sword. Looks Beautiful a bit disappointed that it did not come sharp like I expected (only reason I gave it three stars). But other than that I would highly recommend this sword.
