00:01:34.792 –> 00:01:53.905 So the door that had opened to the traditional Reiki closed as easily as it had opened. And then I found myself thinking, ‚Okay, what now?
00:01:54.147 –> 00:02:01.487 I don’t have that connection anymore. I know that I would really like to learn traditional Reiki.‘
00:02:01.487 –> 00:02:15.492 Because of my … not because it’s better, but because of my personal life. I’ve been around Japanese people from when I was 18.
00:02:16.117 –> 00:02:17.280 Close to them.
00:02:17.805 –> 00:02:19.208 In love with them.
00:02:19.950 –> 00:02:25.275 So it’s for me, it suits me. It really suits me.
00:02:46.310 –> 00:02:54.122 So when Ogawa sensei and Koyama sensei had died I thought, ‚Phew. And now what?‘
00:02:54.713 –> 00:03:10.200 Very soon afterwards I was given a book by one of Toshitaka Mochizuki’s students, Aoki Sensei, also from my lineage somehow.
00:03:11.092 –> 00:03:16.761 In it he had an interview with one of Hayashi Sensei’s students
00:03:17.453 –> 00:03:23.080 which turned out to be Chiyoko Yamaguchi. But her name was not mentioned.
00:03:25.747 –> 00:03:39.239 At the time the Reiki circuit was still small. We are in 1999.
00:03:40.947 –> 00:03:50.623 All the important players in Reiki we all knew each other, of course, and most of them came through my lineage anyway.
00:03:51.148 –> 00:03:56.855 So, the first person I called when I read the book was Toshitaka Mochizuki. He said,
00:03:57.363 –> 00:04:04.774 ‚I don’t know who it is but I know Hiroshi Doi knows it. Why don’t you call him and ask him? He knows who that is.
00:04:04.774 –> 00:04:06.900 He has seen her. He had told me.‘
00:04:06.900 –> 00:04:14.760 So I called him and I said, ‚Hey, in Aoki sensei’s book, do you know who that is and if they are teaching?‘
00:04:14.760 –> 00:04:17.372 He said, ‚Yeah, I give you the number.‘
00:04:17.772 –> 00:04:23.005 So I got her phone number from Doi sensei.
00:04:23.255 –> 00:04:26.577 And I went there … Um! … I called …
00:04:27.743 –> 00:04:35.980 We called her – not I – we called her soon after that. First carefully.
00:04:36.980 –> 00:04:40.657 Chetna on the phone saying, ‚Oh, I read the book.‘
00:04:41.107 –> 00:04:45.472 Yeah, doing the Tai Chi, the Japanese telephone Tai Chi.
00:04:46.389 –> 00:04:53.712 So she said, ‚Oh, I read your book and me and my husband would like to do training with you if you …
00:04:53.712 –> 00:04:59.907 Do you train people? What is your schedule?‘ … and … and … (mimicking conversation)
00:05:00.758 –> 00:05:05.396 ‚By the way my husband is a … Foreigner!‘
00:05:05.646 –> 00:05:07.829 (laughter)
00:05:07.996 –> 00:05:15.793 I was listening on the speaker phone thinking like, ‚Oh, now the door (slam sound)! I will eat …‘
00:05:15.793 –> 00:05:19.239 The Greeks say: you will eat the door. In the face.
00:05:20.498 –> 00:05:26.273 But no! Tadao sensei was on the phone and he said, ‚Well does he speak Japanese?‘
00:05:26.273 –> 00:05:31.197 Chetna said, ‚Yes, he speaks Japanese.‘ He said, ‚So? What’s the problem? Come.‘
