we have phrases like let go, let the reiki flow, don't sit in the way of reiki, etc. prescribing that the practitioner has to be mindful to the sensations in hands so as to shift hands from one position to another, as required, otherwise he is not meant to 'interfere' the reiki process, as reiki works its way in the best way already....
this can be termed as 'active presence, and passive participation' in the reiki process..
but, on the other hand, we have a list of 'techniques' where we find a non-application of this principle (i.e., where we not only are actively present, but also are actively participating within the reiki process too)... besides the issues that a reiki practitioner is not always a licensed massage therapist, there are techniques that resemble to the nature of massage therapy, and we apply either force, pressure, pointed fingers, strokes, or similar things during sessions... all these techniques are the category of 'active application/participation'
more commonly, we have byosen scanning, indentifying hibki's, and specific placement of hands, which, again are the application of 'active participation' principle...
if, we are taught to keep ourselves (or our ego) out of reiki process, and yet we are taught such techniques that require active, mindful, masterly participation with respect of practitioner, then what actually we are taught ? this or that ?
when we intentfully try to 'direct' reiki to a diseased area within the body of the patient, how can we assume we are letting go and letting reiki flow ?
finally, is letting go and let reiki flow is a standard protocol to be complied with necessarily ??
