The Reiki Cafe 

I'm a reiki 2 practitioner.... a friend of mine is in florida.... she was asking me if I heard of a reiki priest or reverand...... darn it no spell check! anyway

has anyone heard of this?

thank you

shamas,

/*\ Namaste :-}}

- I know a couple of people who are properly ordained ministers and priests who are Reiki 2

- if that is what you mean

- if you mean Reiki Priest? Or Reiki Minister? Well, I would say someone just made that up - quackery of a sort

- the foundations of Reiki may have underpinnings in Buddhism and Shinto but being a lama or Shinto Priest are quite separate disciplines that have no direct connection to Reiki (and vise versa)

Yikes! Those are two words I have a hard time seeing together. No one I'm aware of in any Reiki lineage has had the chutzpah to call themselves a "Reiki priest" or "Reiki reverend".

I spend a great deal of energy telling audiences that Reiki is NOT a religion.

My teacher is a Reverend, but not of Reiki. Reiki is a practice, and we are all students. We do not need a church to sanctify Reiki or our practice of it.

I deeply ask your forgiveness if this is an overreaction to a casual question. I'm wired and up too late!

Blessings,
