Reiki is very simple, you know.
You start working with energy at First Degree and at Second Degree you’re introduced to three symbols that you can use.
These symbols were taught to the Imperial Officers and a few others by Usui Sensei, and Dr Hayashi passed them on to Mrs Takata, who taught them in the West.
One of those symbols was CKR, perfect and complete on itself – see above.
So we started messing about with it, which is fine – experimentation is a good thing – but some of the experiments have become ossified in different lineages and passed on as ‘the’ way to do Reiki, rather than being taught as interesting variations.
