Oddly, in a Reiki book I recently purchased, the author states that
many of the Reiki "masters" he met thought that Reiki was only a
spiritual discipline, that it had nothing to do with actual healing.
The author is Japanese, so perhaps things are even screwier in Japan
than they are here.
I can't imagine people thinking that simply saying the word Reiki or
the names of the symbols is enough to actually do Reiki. In order to
think this way, they must have had really poor teachers, or their
teachers must have had really poor teachers, etc. It's hard to
imagine Reiki surviving without teaching what it is that you actually
*do* when doing Reiki.
Love and Light,
Garry
