I often ask myself "Is the discovery of all this new Reiki information
helping my Reiki teaching and practice?"- and this is my answer to
myself...
The wonderful world of Reiki is changing minute by minute. Tick, tick,
tick. I find that with each new day I am presented with more insights
into the history of Reiki. I occasionally ask myself, 'What is the use
of that?'. But when Reiki is your way of life it can make a
difference. New ideas and challenges can help you retain your
integrity and humility as a teacher.
You may think that Reiki is greater than a few facts that the energy
is all that you need to know. It is true that experience what makes a
great teacher but also as a teacher to daily question your approach,
your attitudes and your certainties leads in one direction and that is
growth. Growth as an individual leads to integrity as a teacher.
Ignorance is not bliss - it is laziness. Continually looking at what
we teach and how we teach can only benefit us, our students and Reiki
in the eyes of the community.
It is humbling to know that what we once knew is now changed. Change
is a fact of life: birth, life, death. We are change. And yet we
forget this - trying to tie ourselves down, resisting that which is
natural. Mc Donald's hamburgers are so popular not because they taste
good but because they never change. You can buy that same hamburger
wherever you are in the world and that is comforting - aaaah. Change
can be traumatic, unexpected or down right ugly (let's not forget
exciting, stimulating and adventurous). Sometimes when we teach we
talk so much, keeping control, telling others, holding on to what we
know that we forget to listen. You see we may not like what we are
listening to - it may tell us that we have lost touch, don't know
everything that there is to know or that things have changed. With our
mouths shut and our ears open life can be a humbling experience. To be
humble is to listen is to learn.
So new facts and details can not only arm us with interesting
information but may lead us on a journey. So as a teacher learning new
things, I try to remain truthful and continue to fill those Reiki
files in my head with more fascinating data. Tick, tick, tick.

Very quickly (yes, really) I find that Reiki has enabled the internal me to
open up sooo much in other ways, that I am now swamped with possibilities.
It's wonderful.
(That was ME, rather than US, I know. Sorry)
