Hands like Waterfalls

00:00:06.764 –> 00:00:14.331
‚We are the extended hands of some beautiful natural phenomena.‘

00:00:16.000 –> 00:00:21.750
The thing that has happened in Reiki research again and again and again,

00:00:21.750 –> 00:00:33.567
somebody finds something – or they say they did – and then everybody repeats the story over and over and no one checks anything.

00:00:34.700 –> 00:00:42.000
I’ve learned meanwhile that unless you document it, it means nothing.

00:00:42.000 –> 00:00:55.000
So if I say to somebody, ‚I called the Usui family.‘ Okay, maybe I did – maybe I didn’t, but I have the documentation of that.

00:00:55.258 –> 00:01:05.642
Yeah, you just showed me an intriguing – intriguing to me who doesn’t read Japanese – because of the kanji, it’s very picturesque actually.

00:01:06.150 –> 00:01:12.105
So before the break, we were talking about that I …

00:01:15.997 –> 00:01:27.667
I was frustrated in the beginning when we talked to Ogawa sensei, because I thought that I learned the wrong type of Reiki.

00:01:28.608 –> 00:01:33.675
I learned to do it wrong, not only the history but the practice. I learned it wrong.

00:01:33.758 –> 00:01:42.215
And I would never be able to learn the right way because I already knew from my knowledge of Japanese culture

00:01:42.215 –> 00:01:53.225
that the chances of being accepted into a traditional Japanese art as a foreigner are about this big.

00:01:53.558 –> 00:02:03.682
So I thought they would never let me in and I have learned the wrong thing. But now, how many?

00:02:03.682 –> 00:02:13.483
30 years later when I think about my hands, your hands, any practitioner’s hands,

00:02:15.392 –> 00:02:21.226
whatever comes out of those hands doesn’t have a label. It doesn’t have so-and-so Reiki.

00:02:21.593 –> 00:02:29.051
It doesn’t matter whether you learned it from this person or that person, if you learned it from a Japanese person, from an American

00:02:29.051 –> 00:02:33.986
person, from an Inuit, it’s always the same Reiki.

00:02:34.244 –> 00:02:46.070
Regardless of all the politics, the struggles, the fights in between people, it has retained its absolute perfect purity.

00:02:46.745 –> 00:02:53.942
What comes out of our hands is just the pure life force. And it’s beautiful.

00:02:53.942 –> 00:02:57.995
So, you can’t have the wrong Reiki. It’s not possible.

00:02:57.995 –> 00:02:59.522
Or the better Reiki.

00:02:59.522 –> 00:03:02.850
Or the better or accelerated Reiki. Reiki:

00:03:03.358 –> 00:03:06.840
The first, ‚Rei‘ in Reiki means soul or spirit.

00:03:08.073 –> 00:03:15.000
And the second, ‚Ki‘ means energy. And Usui Sensei said that Reiki is everywhere.

00:03:15.000 –> 00:03:26.483
In the interview that he published, and it’s published in some of my books, in ‚This Reiki‘ again, it’s there, where he says that:

00:03:27.100 –> 00:03:37.286
‚Reiki is the energy that enlivens existence. That is everywhere. It’s in the mountains, in the rivers, in the fields, everywhere,

00:03:37.286 –> 00:03:44.863
in the animals, everywhere. In every human, but the human has the ability to pass it on at will.‘

00:03:44.863 –> 00:03:53.458
The human is the most evolved being in existence and can pass it on at will for healing.

00:03:53.458 –> 00:04:02.125
So you don’t have to wait for the waterfall to come to your house. Hopefully not. But you get the Reiki person.

00:04:02.500 –> 00:04:16.000
This is kind of a typical Shinto type of idea. Where the ancient people, they used to go to a Shinto sanctuary when they were not feeling well.

00:04:16.000 –> 00:04:21.574
And what is a Shinto sanctuary? You think it’s a Shinto shrine? No!

00:04:21.949 –> 00:04:31.040
The Shinto shrine is built around a natural phenomena. A beautiful tree, a spring, a waterfall, a beautiful rock.

00:04:31.040 –> 00:04:37.992
Where the people when they were not feeling well were going and leaning against the tree.

00:04:37.992 –> 00:04:40.092
(Deep sigh.)

00:04:40.092 –> 00:04:49.742
Suddenly feeling better. Because they were taking in that … energy from the waterfall.

00:04:51.008 –> 00:04:58.000
They were taking the good energy from the rock, from the place, from the atmosphere, from the nature.

00:04:58.200 –> 00:05:11.242
And in Reiki, the human, the Reiki person takes on the whole of that natural beauty spot to pass on their energies. So it’s quite amazing.

00:05:11.925 –> 00:05:13.251
Beautiful picture!

00:05:13.251 –> 00:05:22.850
Very beautiful. So this is what we do. We are the extended hands of some beautiful natural phenomena.

00:05:23.950 –> 00:05:25.865
Like that!

00:05:26.156 –> 00:05:34.296
You are the waterfall giving Reiki to the client. You are the big tree, the spring.

00:05:34.904 –> 00:05:36.142
It’s a great thought to have.

00:05:37.996 –> 00:05:42.055
