James,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- I too accepted all my attunements and other initiatory connections hands-on
- I do not disagree with your idea that once preparatory work has been done hands-on that distance "follow-ups" can be quite facilitory -
- one issue is: if one does not know the person requesting the Rei-ju or whatever, how is one to know whether they have been thru the hands-on preparatory work already??
>:-}}
- in terms of the Internet??? the stated qualifications of students asking for training can be just as mysterious as the qualifications of Teachers who say they can do this or that
>:-}}
- in the past couple of years I have encountered any number of sites making claims of empowering an image (Usui Sensei or otherwise) at a website to give treatments or attunements??
- sorry, I don't buy it but, that is just me
Reiki all around,
al blessings,
Firekeeper
