Reiki and the Risk of New Age Additions:


Usui taught us to be vessels for Reiki energy, not directors of it. Yet I see practices creeping in—like spinning chakras with pendulums or boasting about “healing crises.” These rely on human will, not Reiki’s wisdom.


Reiki never harms. If resistance is met, Reiki simply ceases. To impose our will is to invite ego, and ego can create imbalance. True Reiki flows in safety, humility, and trust.


Let’s return to Usui’s teaching: surrender, allow, and trust the energy. Reiki does not need embellishment. Its power lies in simplicity. 🌿

•             In stillness, the current knows. Reiki flows where love is needed.

•             No force, no fear — only trust. The hands rest, the energy moves.

•             The river of light carries all. Ego dissolves, healing remains.

•             Reiki whispers: surrender and be healed.
