Hawayo Takata emphasizes the practice of Reiki – with due respect for a sensible lifestyle. She totally trusts Reiki and the reactions it creates.
She brought Reiki from the Japanese culture into the Hawaiian islands at a time when Japan was going through a major demolition of their culture and of their values and also of their country.
Whatever Reiki practice survived in Japan, it had to go underground while it is a flowering time for Takata. With her, the practice adapts to its new Western environment and eventually to a world-wide culture finding its way back to Japan.
But I also know that the system itself as an energetic entity has its own momentum in development. So she was not necessarily doing it out of her own conscious will but following the energy of Reiki … in order for the practice to flourish.
