Phyllis Furumoto has no knowledge that the sacred phrase was introduced by Hawayo Takata. She assumes that Takata taught her the way she learnt from Hayashi.
It was not in Hawayo Takata’s nature to make Reiki more palatable to the western mind.
None of today’s practices are “the genuine one”. If the (secretive) associations in Japan whose mission was to keep the teaching as accurate as possible do not include this (Kanji), then it is an anomaly.
But we have no idea why and to speculate to fill in the blank is dangerous.
Takata’s classes were not structured and varied. It is hard to say why but Phyllis accepts her wisdom. These variations often lead to arguments when it does not matter where, for example, a Reiki treatment starts.
She taught each master how they needed to be taught. It really depended on their personality. Wanja Twan asked many questions Phyllis would not have raised with Takata. Naturally, one received knowledge which the other did not.
Hawayo Takata’s practice was not embedded in one of us, it was embedded in all 22 of us. And it was only if you could take the big picture of the 22 of us, then you would get her practice. And that’s what was so magical for me.
