Reiki experienced a big moment when somebody tried to trademark Reiki throughout the world. This person tried to control Reiki by defining how people will use Reiki. On this development, people connected with Reiki came together to stop the individual from doing so.
Doing this, people came to know each other and share each other’s views and experiences and contribute to Reiki in a more effective way. As the controversy solved, people started to work for a strong Reiki association. The motive was to establish an association based on mutual trust, harmony, confidence and cooperation.
In fact, the present times are the best in many senses. At present, we are in very important and interesting times as we have realized that it is possible for us to live with coherence, mutual understanding and respect for each other. There is a need to find the basis of Reiki and find and establish a new, fresh and strong connection to the ultimate and divine force or the life force energy.
In the present times, new and more information on Reiki has emerged and awakening us to new realities. More and more information and knowledge about Reiki is coming up frequently and giving us a new understanding about Reiki and its roots.
In some places, it is believed that Reiki is passed on from one generation to other by word of mouth and that there is nothing in writing. But it is not so as there are handbooks with precise instructions from Dr. Usui explaining everything about Reiki. In fact there are numerous Japanese Reiki techniques that were not known in the West till recently.
