The initiation is essence and then there is the form of practice. Both are equal; neither form nor essence are more important.
People who can trace their initiation through from Hawayo Takata or me or from Chujiro Hayashi. Then the evaluation is on the form, because if the form is in alignment with this practice, then they’re practicing this system. If their form is somewhat out of alignment, but their intention is to practice this system, then they just have alignment issues.
Conversely, if someone’s form is similar to this system but their intention is not to practice it, then they are not.
To evaluate Masters such as Barbara McGregor, one would need to know her practice. Being very much a woman on her own who strictly differentiates between her own students and those initiated by other Masters, it appears she is not in alignment with this system.
Reiki masters who won’t teach or mentor anybody else’s students… I have found that always to be disconcerting but I also accept it.
“This system” means Usui Shiki Ryoho honouring the lineage of Usui, Hayashi, Takata and Furumoto.
