DISTANT REIKI TREATMENT -
without
the intended recipient's Knowledge

OK,
so as a side-bar to the issue of whether it is or is not
acceptable to 'send' Reiki without first gaining the intended
recipient's permission...
One of the points raised in support of the 'not acceptable' stance,
is that on becoming aware, after the event, that someone
had been 'sending' Reiki, [even I, suppose if there was an
improvement in their condition as a result of the intervention]
the recipient might well be upset that their permission had not
been sought - and for that matter, that they had not even
been made aware that someone was intending to intervene
in their health-related situation.
This
led me to wonder:
beyond
what may be considered the issue of ethicality (or even simply
politeness/courteousness), what other possible down-side
could there be to sending Reiki without the intended recipient's
permission, or more specifically
- without the intended recipient's knowledge
What
if...
I
become aware of someone, with serious health problems, whom I
consider to be in need of Reiki healing.
Rather
than asking this person's permission, or even informing them of
my intention to 'distant Reiki' them, I simply go ahead and do
so.
And even afterwards, I do not inform them that I have been sending
them Reiki (well they do say "What you don't know can't hurt
you.")
Now,
whether or not it is down to their 'Higher Self' (or their 'Lower
Self' for that matter) - the Reiki is accepted - the person's
symptoms are relieved and the underlying cause of the symptoms
resolved, i.e.:
The
person is Healed.
They
are unaware of how or why they have been healed.
And,
truth be told, they really don't care.
All they know is that they are better.
They are very happy.
They can go get on with their lives....
All
is well.
But then I got to thinking
how
many of us have actually ended up as Reiki practitioners and teachers
as a direct result of having been healed of some or other
condition via Reiki?
Of
those who have, how different might things have turned out
- if your presenting health problems (be they physical, emotional
or otherwise) had - as far as you were concerned - simply 'gone
into remission', for no obvious reason?
- if you had no idea that it was Reiki that had played such an
important part in your healing?
Then
I got to thinking some more…
What
if…
It's
1935, I'm a Reiki practitioner in Japan
I
become aware of someone, with serious health problems, whom I
consider to be in need of Reiki healing.
Rather
than asking this person's permission, or even informing them of
my intention to 'distant Reiki' them, I simply go ahead and do
so.
And even afterwards, I do not inform them that I have been sending

and the person in question, one 'Hawayo Takata' goes home to Hawaii,
never having even heard of 'Usui Reiki Ryoho', let alone realising
that Reiki has been instrumental in her healing…
