Besides this misreading of the original system the symbols and their mantras were misinterpreted as was their use within the system. If we add to this the major influence that the New Age movement has had then it is no wonder that people were starting to question the efficacy of Reiki.
We are fortunate that Takata brought Reiki to the west. We are more fortunate that researchers are now taking us forward to the fundamentals (back to the basics). The most important developing understanding is the need for the Reiki student/practitioner to be constant with their own personal practice and that Reiki teachers/masters must do the same ... even if it means going back to the basics.
Researchers like Frans & Bronwen Stiene, Petter, Taggart King, and others continue to bring Reiki home to its roots. They are to be applauded for their ‘grounded’ efforts.
This research has brought to light many of the original Japanese techniques and teachings.
