Hi All
I thought some of you might be interested in seeing John Harvey Gray, one of Hawayo Takata's Reiki Master students on video, talking about his view of certain aspects of Reiki.
The first video is a section of a level one class in which he, but mainly Lourdes, his current partner, talk about Reiki self-treatment:

The next video is of John demonstrating how to obtain information about physical vitality and personal growth by scanning the heart and third eye chakras.

As most of you will know, Hawayo Takata did not teach about chakras, although she did teach about scanning. It is through some of her students, such as John, applying Takata's teachings to the chakras that many people nowadays learn that Reiki is all about examining and balancing the chakras. This can be useful but it should be remembered that this way of using Reiki was not what was originally taught by Dr Hayashi or Hawayo Takata (or, presumably, Mikao Usui).
Still, it is interesting to watch the actual technique John uses for scanning.
