Question. What does Mikao Usui's gravestone actually say?

So, there's a memorial stone in Tokyo, which I've seen, and it's a beautiful big stone. It's all engraved with Japanese kanji, old Japanese kanji, so pre-1940s, which makes it hard to read for people today. But it tells the story of his life and also the history of the system of Reiki.

It talks about how he had difficulty in his life and then how he had an experience on Kurama-yama, Mount Kurama, where he had a sense of what it meant to experience energy Reiki and how that changed things for him.

It talks about how he helped out in the Great Kanto Earthquake [music], where he would go around and help people. It also talks about the development of the system of Reiki and that he ultimately had about 2,000 students in total before he died at the age of 60 or 61.

It was written up by students of his who were members of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, which is the Japanese association that still exists today. The students were mostly men who worked in the Navy.

Am I using the Reiki symbols wrong?

Well, I don't know because I don't know how you're using them, but that sounds like you're not very confident in your practice. So, what you need to do is to get confident.
And actually, you know, the whole idea why the Reiki symbols were included into the system of Reiki was to help people with their confidence because it gave them something more tangible to hold on to.

Instead of just saying, " Oh, you know, sense the energy or whatever, it's like, oh, I don't know how to do that. So, instead of something that is uh physical that you could draw.

For example, you can actually physically draw. You can verbalize. You can chant.

So that whole body moves or shifts. All these things are extra tools to help you feel more of something that's energetic. And interestingly, all the symbols are actually very old.

So they all connect through to something that could be centuries old in Japan. and even one of them goes back to India to a seed syllable in Sanskrit.

So, thinking of these things are quite ancient. They have been taken from where they were practiced and have been practiced for a long time, and added into the system of Reiki as a tool to help you. Yeah. So take that and think of that in those terms that it's there to support you. It's not something for you to be worried about. If you know the Riki precepts, then for today only, do not worry. Yeah. When we begin to worry, we start to second-guess ourselves. So, let go of that. Practice what you've been taught and let that be the tool that takes you into the energy.
