Hello Everyone,
Namaste...
I am currently reading a book called, "The Hayashi Reiki Manual" written by Frank Arjava Petter, Tadao Yamaguchi, and Chujiro Hayashi.
This is a quote from Chapter 4 "Byosen and Ketsueki Kokan" (Blood Circulation Technique) of that book which touches on the subject of 'does Reiki go where it is needed'.
Since the subject came up again in my post on the Reiki board, I thought it might be of interest to some.
Frank Petter has done extensive research on the origins of Reiki and with this book, able to learn a great deal of Dr. Hayashi's life and work as well.
The book is an easy read, very interesting and I would definately recommend it.
"The Japanese and Western Reiki schools differ in one central way. In Western Reiki we are taught that Reiki is "intelligent" and that it will find its way to the areas in the body that need it the most. Of course this seems true but it is only half the truth. The other half is that the body wants Reiki and will let the practitioner know where and how it wants to be touched. This happens through what Japanese Reiki practitioners call "Byosen"."
Byosen scanning is of great interest to me. I have a lot of questions about this skill as it was taught in Japanese tradition, so if there are any practitioners out there who have consistently used this method and wouldn't mind my picking your brain, I would be very interested in emailing.
Thanks!
Abundant blessings,
Mammabear
