When complementary therapy is used as a primary therapy it means that allopathic medicine has said: “There is nothing we can do for you”. Right? So people go to the last chance kind of thing. And you know that puts a lot of pressure on the practice actually to deliver whatever that expected result is. So when the expected result isn’t delivered then it becomes not a viable option. But what’s true, in every case, including in allopathic medicine, is that we die, as human beings and… as my dad said, who was a general practitioner MD in the US, he said “well, you know, I do the best I can and the people who should die often don’t and the people who shouldn’t die because of the care they are being given and the condition of their body, they do die. So I don’t feel like I have any control over whether or not the person is going to die. I know that I can do my best and that’s all I can do.” And I really appreciated this. It is one of the things… one of the conversations that I have had with him that was very fruitful for me and my own practice.

So a practitioner-program for me is really different and could be academic in some sense 1258 but differing
1301 (räusper)
but adopting the academic say for a social worker or a nurse practitioner or something to Reiki and I think that it is very, very important that people who are designing these programs don’t… don’t assume that Reiki practitioners do not need the practice. And they…. that they don’t need the hours spent because I feel that what’s very important like a doctorate in psychology, for instance, they have to go through their own term of psychological therapy and I know a doctorate student who never completed this piece so he never got his doctorate.

And I was really praying that he would go through this psychological therapy because you don’t… you can’t sit in that seat if you haven’t sat in this seat. That is just a human … I feel like it’s really an important human condition.

I would like to see, actually, each school of Reiki have their own public practice program. That would be the ideal for me. Because I don’t believe that I could mentor and instruct students from another system because I would always be running up against disrespecting their practice because of the times where the practice is not the same. And… I don’t feel like I want to be in that situation and it puts me in an unresolvable position.
