It is a <em>joy </em>to read your sharing that Reiki is enough. Effortless practice is a challenging concept to grasp, let alone offer to another. Regarding the history, I appreciate that you trust your sources, as do I. I bow to my Teacher Reiki, and honour the pristine energetic focus of my earthly initiator, Phyllis Furumoto. I do hope we meet each other along the way. In the Light, Ellen Hello Nancy,

This is indeed difficult for many to grasp, especially those newly initiated. It is only, as you say, after a lot of committed practice – day after day, year after year – that we understand that Reiki is <em>enough</em>. No effort is needed. It demands only that we summon “the courage to do less,” as my teacher, Pamela Miles, puts it. One note on the history of Reiki: According to Japanese Reiki master Hyakuten Inamoto, Mikao Usui established the practice of Reiki in 1922. Inamoto has spent much time researching Usui’s life and the history of Reiki; his teacher was Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a direct student of Usui’s student Chujiro Hayashi. An excellent source of accurate and well-researched information about the past, present and possible future of Reiki is Pamela Miles’ book “Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide,” as well as her website, ReikiInMedicine.org. Among the many valuable resources on the site is the transcript of Pamela’s recent interview with Hyakuten Inamoto and his fellow Reiki master and historian, Hiroshi Doi.

Very well written and good imagery! I stumbled across your site trying to search the internet for a word I believe begins with a "D" that is related to human energy. I thought it was related to prana, so I've been trying to learn about that too. I've always felt things I could only describe to people in the darkest absence of verbal description, in the moment where you look into someone's eyes and forget you are yourself, your reflection becomes concave before you and you seep into their point of view. Look at me, ranting here...regardless I am very tired, and now have bookmarked beingspiritual to come back and take it all in! Wow, this is very nice writing about multiple topics that I really like.
