Hello,
Helen, My opinion, Things are dropped and added to Reiki, Most likely right from the start of Reiki. People choose to use what they are comfortable and teach it this way, omiting things and adding things. But alot of people are trained in Reiki to use these extras and include them in Reiki right from their start in Reiki training. Most likely this is why some people starting adding example Reiki Ki, Celtic Reiki, Kundilini Reiki, to Reiki adding their own twist. You say its not reiki, but Reiki is usually the base for all these healing techniques and still there under the layers. Reiki is usually still used (at least what we are taught), depending on I would guess who is doing the teaching. What people trained believe to be Reiki. My thought is you still get the basic Reiki. Maybe it should be called Reiki Plus, who knows for sure. L.O.L
Who actually knows what the real original Reiki really was, Authors, teachers, students all with their own translations.
My feelings are I wasn't there, I didn't experience what came to Dr. Mikao Usui first hand. And if he was anything like me, He could of forgot somethings on the trip down the hill, or immediately afterwards. We are only human after all. It had to be overwelming to him as Reiki is to some of us years later.
Like I said before my cards say Karuna Ki Reiki,Usui Reiki, etc. I have been trained in both. It is out in the open and they have the choice weather to use me or not. No one has ever asked me yet just for one or the other specific Usui Reiki or Karuna Ki Reiki. If they did it would be easy enough to do (again as I know it to be). We can only do the best we can to try to help. With good intentions.
Just my thoughts! Not saying I am absolutely 100% right. Who is? Not trying to push my beliefs on anyone. But these are my thoughts. Everyone does have their own. Who is absolutely right? Who will ever know for sure.
Blessing to you all!
