It's now 2026, I trust myself, my Path, my growth.
The Innate Reiki Spirit of Self-healing and Self-Realization took me, on a journey that would have me face my mortality. My journey was through the teachings inherent in my "having a Stroke" and having "Open Heart Surgery" This journey took me deeply inside my heart & mind where I healed residual childhood wounds still reactivated in adulthood by button pushing phenomena, people, places, & especially in my committed relationships.
The inner journey of being present to my Self-healing and being in acceptance of seriously life threatening dis-ease, resolved blockages in the flow of Reiki in my Mind/Body. Energy that was blocked flows again.
The healing reaction to the release of energy blockages over the following two years from Surgery stripped away old, no longer needed aspects of a wounded Inner Child's reactive personality.
I began to withdraw from Japan's Organized Reiki, realizting through Innate Reiki that Reiki cannot be Standardized. It is the indwelling I AM That I AM.
Rei-Consciousness. Ki-life force energy made manifest.
Reiki consciousness is Self-Realized and from that consciousness we act. Usui sensei was Self-Realized. He shared a map for our Self-Realization. Its withIn in the 5 Precepts, Interpretted by me as "Today I am anger free. I am worry free. I am full of gratitude, I am honest in my duty , and I am kind to all others."
I am full of gratitude; and in order to live in honesty, in my duty as a Reiki Shihan, I have withdrawn from "Reiki Organizations" with Company Rules & Regulations. I choose to resonate with the ebb & flow of Life Energy for my own Integrity as an Aspirant as well as a Teacher. Trying to claim Reiki into a Tradition or Organization no longer supports my Self-Realization.
I gratefully give credit to the "Traditions" I followed to be where I find mySelf today. Amrit Yoga, and Gendai Reiki. Each held Major importance along my journey to be all that I am, guided by the Innate Spirit of Reiki. I am grateful for my Teachers .
I am grateful for being alive today as the World Reiki Community transitions from one outdated paradigm, the outer authoritarian paradigm, to the new paradigm, the impersonal inner-self paradigm. Both Traditions held the intention for we students to find Self-Realization. Im an Old 80 year experienced Aspirant so I experienced the Hierarchy Paradigm shift for me. I am no longer stuck in past authoritarian ways. Its called Evolution :-)
