Hi, I am a chinese , so my english might be a little bit poor(sorry about that)
I have been attuned to reiki for about 2years, and I learnt alot of things in my life......
You all can never felt the what I really feel....unless you all been through my life......
I don't know how to say , but , after being stupit for 6month, today I really woke up......
Here is my story: The first time I attuned to reiki , I don't even know what is reiki , and after being attuned to reiki , I start searching for information about reiki....
And I found out that , symbols were not used in reiki(this question is very simple....just think and you will know...)
Maybe I am a chinese , so is easier for me to believe there were no symbol in reiki....cause using symbols is actually making you to focus on the symbols...
And I knew that , as a Reiki master , he should be teaching people to let-go and not focus on more things....
As a chinese, we knew that energy is "lead"(you can's say control...cause is kind of differen) by our intent......
If our heart is silent , peace, calm, our intent will be stronger , so as our energy......
So, Usui as a Reiki master , I think(cause I got no proof) he taught meditation instead of symbols......
But I think not everyone is smart enought to focus on intent, so Usui added in 4 symbols....
And this 4 symbols actually is "language".....the first 2 is picture language , and last 2 is juse chinese words.....
dai ku myo in chinese, means to regain our ability, wisdom, pure that we have forgotten......
So you can see, or maybe try to understand what I am saying......Symbols is just something to helps us , not to "control us", I have been control by symbols for 6 months and is long enought for me to wake up......
Reiki means , link to the energy(this is ture, and unless you are a japanese of a older age, or you might not know this)
Reiki Rei in japanese is also link, the reason i knew this is because I met a Japanese Reiki Teacher.....(my teacher's teacher)
So , during these past 6months, I have been re-attuning to Reiki madly.....And keep using symbols everyday.....(Is like mental illness)
And some how , while I meditate, I woke up......
And now I laught at myself, and ask"what are you thinking about?!"
My Reiki Teacher, he don't really agree about using reiki with intent(this is the reason why i gone mad)....but after he learnt SKHM REIKI , he felt that you don't have to be attuned to all the symbols, and attunement is not attune to symbols is to the link(REIKI)...or universe...
And due to this , I woke up, he now agree to what I said 1 and a half year ago......And I felt that is kind of stupit to something "that you know for sure is wrong".......
But I thank my teacher anyway, if he don't agree to "this" , I might be mad for my whole life.....(maybe not)
Good NEWS is I woke up, and return to my reiki path.....
I felt I am alive now , and I will keep meditating.....(and i hope walks into "extra path" anymore)
But going through this "extra path" helps me to understand more and more things, and strengthen my reiki connection......(faith...)
Even a teacher might be wrong....
