The student – teacher relationship can be a challenge. Quoting Hawayo Takata: “Everybody has the right to their own relationship with Reiki, the energy”. It is not for the Master to interfere. It is important for us as students to be able to follow our path.
Chujiro Hayashi may not have been Mikao Usui’s “best student”. He may well have been a rebel. The contemplation whether to initiate this woman from Hawaii, Hawayo Takata, led to a unique decision and Reiki out of Japan to America and into the world.
Was this an act of dissonance or an act of surrender (to Reiki)? I think it’s a bit of both.
In the 1970s Barbara Weber may well have been introduced as Takata's successor. Educated, a great organizer and dedicated she helps Takata record a book. Later, in the 1980s Phyllis and Weber have uncomfortable disputes.
She did what her heart and her being really needed to do for Reiki. And I will never call this dissonance. She followed her path and I did the same thing.
The Reiki Alliance gives opportunity to talk but that does not imply agreement.
The key gift of Reiki is that we experience being profoundly connected. So, if we have that, then what’s a little difference of opinion?
