Finality,
__Finality: "A lot of our talk about reiki seems to be a way that ego can get educated to reiki language. So in a sense we open the door to ego inadvertantly."
Yes, that thought has occurred to me too. To the degree that our talk doesn’t get stuck in just talk, but serves as a launching point to increased understanding, insight and, ultimately, to more informed practice, one keeps ego out. Through our talk, one can gain greater clarity. And, so, I think, our talk about Reiki and the language of Reiki is purposeful. The knowledge one gains, through our talk, one can then apply, integrating it into one's practice. (An aside: Is the application of knowledge wisdom?)
Peace Be,
