00:00:01.275 –> 00:00:05.742
No Judgment. Just My Way.
00:00:06.706 –> 00:00:14.231
‚The issue is always between right and wrong – moral ethics – better or inferior. And we always play on people’s deficits, instead of encouraging people to see their perfection.‘
00:00:16.051 –> 00:00:18.867
Loose ends still, I’m working on.
00:00:19.160 –> 00:00:28.852
You have in the past – many years now, since 2000 basically – often been asked questions and often you differentiated between
00:00:29.006 –> 00:00:33.396
the Eastern or particularly the Jikiden and the Western.
00:00:33.396 –> 00:00:38.000
And sometimes you’ve used examples how you differentiate.
00:00:38.233 –> 00:00:47.460
At one point in time, I heard you speak about what we in the West call a ‚group treatment‘ where five, six people treat one person.
00:00:47.460 –> 00:00:55.440
And it almost sounded as if you were suggesting that in Jikiden that’s like an exclusive and we don’t have it in the West.
00:00:55.613 –> 00:00:57.727
Just as an example, we don’t need to go …
00:00:57.727 –> 00:00:58.480
Oh no!
00:00:58.480 –> 00:01:07.694
Exactly, the Reiju was another one where maybe not you, but the Jikiden practitioners sometimes said,
00:01:07.694 –> 00:01:15.536
‚Oh, we in our groups, we have the tradition of Reijus, where the initiation, the Reiju is being repeated.‘
00:01:16.676 –> 00:01:27.633
Granted, one must never forget that in the 90s, the Reiki world was very much dominated by the Western Reiki styles.
00:01:27.960 –> 00:01:34.231
And within the Western styles, in particular the Reiki Alliance, and their way …
00:01:35.091 –> 00:01:41.879
They had no longer … they’ve abolished what you might call the repeated Reijus and it didn’t exist.
00:01:41.879 –> 00:01:46.213
But in other schools such as mine, it continued to exist.
00:01:46.373 –> 00:01:58.067
So, when I heard, I personally heard – not in the last few years, but further down the road in the past, ‚Oh, in Jikiden we have the Reiju
00:01:58.067 –> 00:02:05.160
and it’s a … You don’t have it in the West.‘ I often thought, ‚Of course we do, my practice holds it.‘
00:02:05.400 –> 00:02:09.995
The question … This is the framing of my question and the question is this:
00:02:09.995 –> 00:02:19.742
How can we, or what can you in particular, contribute here and now to – as a message maybe to the viewers –
00:02:19.742 –> 00:02:31.800
to prevent that such differentiations and examples are given at the danger of not even fully being correct?
00:02:31.894 –> 00:02:42.906
Okay, so first of all with the Reiju, I don’t think I said that or maybe I said it in a different context.
00:02:43.000 –> 00:02:55.069
So for me, what we call initiation in Western Reiki, we call Reiju in Japan.
00:02:55.069 –> 00:03:01.146
There are not two different things. One of the mistakes was, I don’t know who started that, that somebody said,
00:03:01.146 –> 00:03:07.240
‚Well, there is the initiation and there is a Reiju and the Reiju is‘ some people said ‚temporary.‘
00:03:07.240 –> 00:03:08.862
There is no such thing!
00:03:10.109 –> 00:03:15.719
Reiju is what Usui sensei used to do, what Hayashi sensei used to do.
00:03:15.719 –> 00:03:20.123
It’s a Japanese word, of course, used by Japanese people.
00:03:20.423 –> 00:03:28.373
When they tried to find an equivalent for that, they called it ‚initiation‘. So, it’s the same.
00:03:28.623 –> 00:03:38.025
So, I couldn’t have said, ‚You don’t have Reiju, because …‘ You translated it into ‚initiation‘.
00:03:38.357 –> 00:03:43.790
That is maybe my mistake when verbalising my question. That’s not what I meant.
00:03:43.995 –> 00:03:54.620
The repetition of the … You know, in some Western traditions ‚Once initiated – always initiated. Never repeat an initiation!‘
00:03:54.755 –> 00:03:56.998
We believe the same.
00:03:57.748 –> 00:04:03.155
Once it’s done, it’s done. And even one time is done, is done. That’s it! No need.
00:04:04.163 –> 00:04:07.784
But, apparently Hayashi sensei had said,
00:04:07.909 –> 00:04:17.267
‚If you have the chance to receive it again – because we have habits, we have bad habits – once a month is good.‘
00:04:18.293 –> 00:04:24.293
But when I say that in my practice we have this, in my practice we have that,
00:04:25.840 –> 00:04:30.280
I’m just talking about my practice, the way I do it.
00:04:30.627 –> 00:04:33.160
And I’m not saying mine is better than yours.
00:04:34.367 –> 00:04:40.787
So, my suggestion to anybody is that whatever you do,
00:04:40.953 –> 00:04:44.580
whatever your practice is, you do that, this is your path.
00:04:45.567 –> 00:04:53.233
You work on that and if you feel comfortable with that, don’t worry about what other people do. It’s totally insubstantial.
00:04:53.873 –> 00:04:55.547
It doesn’t mean anything.
00:04:55.547 –> 00:04:59.405
There is no Reiki that is better than another one.
00:04:59.405 –> 00:05:03.407
So if you feel comfortable in your practice, that’s all you need.
00:05:04.820 –> 00:05:05.920
Wonderful.
00:05:07.180 –> 00:05:11.540
I think the way you answered my question, ‚My(!) practice is…‘
00:05:12.120 –> 00:05:19.760
I think that’s also part of the solution. So, when people in associations meet other representatives,
00:05:19.760 –> 00:05:23.480
other practitioners from other tribes, of course you can talk to each other.
00:05:23.480 –> 00:05:29.680
And of course you can talk about your own to learn from each other.
00:05:29.680 –> 00:05:34.640
But remember, this is your tradition, your practice which works for you.
00:05:34.800 –> 00:05:38.800
And you’re speaking your truth and I’m speaking mine and we’re here to share.
00:05:40.340 –> 00:05:46.433
Yes, if you look at let’s say martial arts, Tai-Chi-Chuan.
00:05:47.080 –> 00:05:55.040
There are so many schools. And in every school they have their own Chi Gung, let’s say.
00:05:56.173 –> 00:06:00.617
So, one guy may say, ‚Okay, we do this …‘ [hand movement to the left]
00:06:00.617 –> 00:06:03.958
And he says, ‚No, we do this …‘ [hand movement to the front]
00:06:05.133 –> 00:06:11.440
Okay, that’s part of your practice. You practice that, you go for it. Go for practice, practice, practice.
00:06:11.440 –> 00:06:17.540
This is your path from now until maybe until you die. This is what you do.
00:06:17.757 –> 00:06:20.213
Don’t worry about what other people do.
00:06:21.197 –> 00:06:23.398
Let them do what they want to do.
00:06:24.440 –> 00:06:34.210
I have said earlier that the traditional style Reiki, for me, is comfortable because I spent so much time in the East.
00:06:34.210 –> 00:06:37.120
I have an affinity to that. I feel comfortable there.
00:06:38.887 –> 00:06:46.627
It’s not because it’s better, it just suits me. It’s like … I like garlic pasta.
00:06:46.960 –> 00:06:50.040
Other people, you can chase them with garlic pasta.
00:06:50.040 –> 00:06:51.080
[laughter]
00:06:51.080 –> 00:06:53.317
Or I can chase them with my breath.
00:06:55.425 –> 00:07:10.438
So it’s really … The issue is always between right and wrong – moral ethics – better or inferior.
00:07:10.763 –> 00:07:16.962
And we always play on people’s deficits,
00:07:18.862 –> 00:07:25.375
instead of encouraging people to see their perfection.
00:07:28.267 –> 00:07:29.702
This is what I see.
00:07:31.927 –> 00:07:42.387
So, when I see somebody else practicing something else, I’m like, ‚Yeah, man, good. Practice that!‘
00:07:42.578 –> 00:07:49.645
Maybe my practice is different, but I don’t feel I’m doing it wrong or they’re doing it better.
00:07:49.920 –> 00:08:00.097
I’m totally comfortable in the way I practice Reiki, very, very comfortable and …
00:08:03.047 –> 00:08:11.360
‚confident‘ is not really the right word. Comfortable. I know how to do it, for myself.
00:08:13.918 –> 00:08:20.584
And when I look at Usui sensei, I see somebody – maybe it’s my projection –
00:08:20.584 –> 00:08:27.118
but I see somebody who wants to show his students how to be themselves, not to be him.
00:08:28.235 –> 00:08:32.598
I don’t think he’s somebody who wants sheep, who wants followers.
00:08:34.740 –> 00:08:36.707
That’s my impression.
00:08:36.840 –> 00:08:45.447
And my thing is this, to hopefully be able to show people to find their own way
00:08:46.080 –> 00:08:55.673
of really dealing with themselves in life and become good human beings. That’s my point.
00:08:55.673 –> 00:08:58.178
Everything else I don’t really care about.
00:08:59.362 –> 00:09:04.202
So in the end, you can close your eyes and say, ‚I’ve done my best.‘
