corndodger,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
Thanks for the interesting lights on Takata Sensei and reiki - the tapes would be fascinating to listen to
- I wonder why Takata Sensei felt inclined to become Reverend Takata Sensei??
>:-}}
- a few thoughts -
- to say reiki will reach where it is supposed to be "eventually", seems to assume the practitioner is not suffinciently skilled to direct the energy?? -
- also, eventually is rather vague and indeterminate - such that it might seem rather useless to some - especially the Intended recipient
>:-}}
- one of the issues I rarely see addressed in discussions of the Sensei teachings (whichever Sensei it might be) is the matter of the recipient's Intent to receive the energy
>:-}}
- to track energy is not that difficult - but to track energy one is involved in (forming the ball for example) is not so easy - since the act requires a certain Mindfulnesss - and to take one's Mind out of anything completely is a goal adept meditators and yogis dream of
>:-}}
- I would prefer to devote my Mindfulness and Intent to getting the energy where it is needed - to the best of my adeptness
>:-}}
- as for the spinal "massage??
- sounds suspiciously like Ketsueki-Kokan - or some variant
>:-}}
- I wonder what Takata Sensei might have to say about distance Ketsueki-Kokan
>:-}}
Take care.
Reiki all around,
all blessings,
