The Way of Reiki..
The Founder of the art of reiki healing, O-Sensei Mikao Usui, was a great Bodhisattva, like a Saint dedicated to helping people...he transitioned in 1926. In his time he traveled constantly sharing his art with all, including gathering his students together regularly for training. If he was alive today he most assuredly would have been online sharing his art this way as well- we do what we can to get the word out...same for the other arts (like T’ai Chi, yoga, qigong, meditation and the like)- there are too many in need of health, balance and harmony...sharing does not mean we are "perfect" lol if we wait for that we may be waiting a long time...we do our best sincerely and learn as we go trying not to repeat mistakes, so we appreciate people's support and understanding. I even try to do what I can for the "scammers" and haters, a great Koan relating to this is: "Jesus and Buddha are in Hell- Why?" LOL Is true btw but not how one might think when first hearing/reading it- but you must contemplate the koan, see what comes up, this one has one answer btw, though can be worded in various ways....One of my daily invocations is: "Reiki Source, Beings of Light, all those working with us for our Highest Good and the Highest Good of All: Namaste. Please guide me and heal me so that I may be of greater service to others." I follow the lead of the Founder, here are his words on why he taught publicly:
"Why I make these teachings public"
- an explanation by the founder Mikao Usui,
[English Version, Copyright © 2004/5 James Deacon]
‘Its an old tradition that if someone discovers a secret art, they keep it within the family to secure a future for their heirs and descendants. It is not shared with others.
But this is an old-fashioned custom from the old century. In this modern era human happiness is based on living and working together and a desire for social development. For this reason, I wont allow it to just be kept within the family.
Our method is something completely original, there is nothing like it in the whole world. Therefore, I want to share it with the public for the benefit of all humanity. Everyone has the potential to receive the spiritual gift, uniting body and soul, a divine blessing.
Our method is an original one, based on the spiritual power of the universe. By this power, first a person becomes healthy, then the mind becomes calm and life becomes more joyous.
Nowadays, we need to restructure and improve our lives within and without, that we may free our fellow beings from emotional and physical suffering.
This is why I make these teachings public.”
O-Sensei Mikao Usui, Founder.
