Reikicurmudgeon,
Namaste...
A can of dragons? And me here with a can opener...hmmmm. Dare I?

I do think that the two as you so cleverly summarized, are not necessarily distinctly separate from the other.
If we are open, and explain what the master is doing, wouldn't it be easier from the student stand point to see that there is really no reason to be concerned, that there is no conflict?
Why is it that I, who truly appreciates the Christ have no issue with reiki whatsoever?
I think that knowledge/understanding is the key somehow.
What's the old adage?...Ignorace breeds fear.
Cheers in return,
Mammabear
