I attended Reiki Summit 2022. There are 36 speakers and I cannot listen to every single one of them. I needed to be selective on which speaker I will watch their interview. I watched two speakers so far. The first speaker is my Reiki teacher, Hyakuten-san.
In his interview, he emphasized the importance of raising our spiritual awareness in order to become a great Reiki practitioner. I totally agree with him and I am so happy to have found him as my reiki teacher. I learned Reiki from him in 2008. It has been 14 years so far. His stance stays the same. He wants to stay being humble and simple. He encourages us to stop thinking, but smile and let go. When you completely surrender and believe in the Universe, then you don’t need to do anything except for being there as just a simple pipe to convey Reiki energy from the Universe. I love his teaching always.
The second speaker is one Japanese female Reiki teacher who teaches Jikiden Reiki in Canada. I didn’t know anything about her lineage. Her explanation of her lineage was helpful to understand. I resonated with her saying the challenging and difficulty when it comes to translate Japanese culture to someone who is not a Native Japanese. When her Japanese teacher said only one word, sometimes she has to add 3 sentences to explain the background culture of the word. Because Japanese words come from our long history with our ancestors’ traditional ways, even just one word has deep meanings behind it. When we translate Japanese word into English, we cannot translate it in one word. Otherwise, nobody will understand the word properly.
