00:05:07.433 –> 00:05:15.246 And Chiyoko sensei used to say in their dialect in Ishikawa, where she was from, they didn’t use to say,
00:05:15.246 –> 00:05:20.133 ‚I give you Reiki or I do Reiki, but I switch on the Reiki.‘
00:05:20.767 –> 00:05:28.000 Like the light. She always said, this is like a light switch and the way it goes is on-off, like that.
00:05:29.693 –> 00:05:37.300 It doesn’t really matter where you turn the light on. Whether you use this switch or this switch or that or this.
00:05:37.507 –> 00:05:40.213 You put your hand on it and boom!
00:05:40.740 –> 00:05:45.000 So, self-treatments obviously are important.
00:05:45.400 –> 00:05:55.580 But: essentially, Reiki is compassion in action, is for you to share your blessings with others.
00:05:57.000 –> 00:06:01.233 That’s the traditional way of looking at it. It is not for you.
00:06:01.233 –> 00:06:12.373 Now, why is it not for you? Because in the Buddhist way of looking at things, there is no separate self. It is an illusion.
00:06:12.373 –> 00:06:18.360 And why should we encourage and strengthen that thing that doesn’t exist?
00:06:20.300 –> 00:06:23.979 The ‚me! me! me! me! me! me!‘ This has to go!
00:06:24.265 –> 00:06:25.533 It must go.
00:07:01.320 –> 00:07:13.000 It’s refreshing listening to you even to the point that Mrs. Yamaguchi was saying ‚on-off‘, as you just demonstrated.
00:07:13.000 –> 00:07:23.520 Of course, Hawayo Takata exactly used the same physical explanation and illustration and even the same words ‚on-off‘.
00:07:23.520 –> 00:07:29.167 She used the same words, I heard from some of her students. I don’t remember who it was.
00:07:29.760 –> 00:07:32.340 They said to me, ‚Oh, Takata used to say the same thing.‘
00:07:32.340 –> 00:07:33.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:33.000 –> 00:07:36.800 Exactly. But they had the same teacher, what do you expect?
00:07:37.200 –> 00:07:49.763 And I think we’re well advised to bear that in our awareness that, like you keep on emphasizing, at the end of the day there is
00:07:49.763 –> 00:08:00.700 one source and there may be different ways of interpreting, presenting, teaching it, translating it into practices.
00:08:00.933 –> 00:08:05.553 But at the end of the day, we are doing the same thing.
00:11:10.780 –> 00:11:15.760 So. Many times in Jikiden Reiki congresses I’ve talked about this issue
00:11:16.500 –> 00:11:23.433 because I know that even in our own association people start to do the same thing.
00:11:23.433 –> 00:11:30.313 They start to say, ‚Ah, we are doing traditional Reiki and you are just doing Western Reiki and ours is better.‘
00:11:30.767 –> 00:11:38.133 That’s really against my deep understanding and knowing.
00:11:38.533 –> 00:11:42.080 Because this, I can only say it again,
00:11:42.080 –> 00:11:55.000 what comes out of here is absolutely pure, unpolluted and unpollutable life force and it will be that from any Reiki practitioner.
00:11:55.400 –> 00:12:05.327 And if you ask me what is the right way to practice Reiki, I would say, ‚The way that you do it is the right way.‘
00:12:05.327 –> 00:12:06.420 That’s it.
00:12:07.800 –> 00:12:08.867 For everybody.
