Hi folks,

I've been following this group since I read The Wave back in 2003-2004. I have a relative who has recently gotten into Reiki, and having read all about "adventures with Reiki" in The Wave I was a little concerned about what "type" of Reiki my relative has gotten into. Also, the events described in The Wave happened in Florida which is where both my relative and I live.

Is there a way of determining if this branch of Reiki is heavily corrupted? Am I being too paranoid here? Just concerned for a loved one.

Thanks,

Drew

John!:
Is it Usui Reiki? What is the lineage? Are they using the proper symbols?

Hi endescent,

Welcome to the forum.  :)

We recommend all new members to post an introduction in the Newbies section telling us a bit about themselves, how they found the cass material, and how much of the work here they have read.

You can have a look through that board to see how others have done it.

Concerning your reiki question, have a look at that thread:

http://www.cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php?topic=1896.0

And you can do a search on the forum with the search function in using the work reiki.

Wow, when looking at the link for Reiki Symbols is seems there are so many variations that it is not an easy task to determine how close to the original teachings a particular practitioner is using. I will ask my relative what they know about the lineage. I will also study these links further.

Thanks for the replies.

IMO you shouldn't be looking at how close some variation is compared to the original Usui symbol. The symbols should be exactly the same - orientation too, otherwise it is something else than Reiki. Or the Reiki is being twisted and used consciously or unconsciously for negative (from our perspective) purposes. I've noticed that it is quite common to invert the spiral of the Chokurei. As Laura and others have noted, using the inverted form could actually make you give out your energy somewhere or have some other negative effects.

One major red flag IMO is if the teacher of that particular 'reiki school' conciders him or herself as a healer, someone who heals and performs miracles. A true Reiki sensei knows that he/she is only a medium for the universal energy, helping others only when they ask for it.
