Phyllis Furumoto hopes that her legacy will be that she has guided the Reiki community to become a higher expression of itself. Analogous to human growth from birth to adulthood, Reiki is asking all of us to take the next step in maturity: Reconciliation.
Reconciliation not for reconciliation’s sake but as a stepping stone to the next stage of development of this practice, and I mean practice globally.
This facilitates Reiki’s call to serve humanity with its political, spiritual or mental development. Like in ant colonies, cooperation among people is key in this process. Humans have many gifts but often get caught up in "right or wrong". The paradox of our self-righteousness is presented in simple Reiki practice when two people have entirely opposite experiences at the very same moment.
To hold both truths at the same time equally …. if we could accept that and live our life in that way, it would change our own and the global community.
Reiki - from its discovery in Japan to being passed on to a woman who made it go around the world and serve as a provocateur for the Reiki that was left in Japan to rise again - has matured and created a momentum for us to go into the future.
I’d like to be known as the person who saw that and fanned the flames.
