Where does that come from?
I mean the whole "Reiki came from Tibet" thing. Is that a Takata myth?
Is it someone's channeled vision? Did Usui travel to Tibet or read ancient Tibetan manuscripts in a Japanese temple?
The Tibetan connection is repeated in so many places. Scholarly scientific articles, even. So I wonder.
Reiki. It's so cool, so amazing, and so confusing to my students. If it's on a website, in a book, or in a peer-reviewed article - it's true, right? Umm, no. Let me tell you about Hawayo Takata...
Hawayo Takata told stories when she taught Reiki. Many were allegorical, myths to entertain and impart her message. Sorting out the Takata myths is important for our credibility and reliability. Let's at least start out with the facts. Reiki can take us on incredible vision quests, but let's start from a credible base.
