Finding Reiki's Mystical Flow on Mount Kurama

The sacred tree has fallen, but the wellspring flows on. Could this be nature's message about the future of Reiki?
When Christine returned to Mount Kurama in Japan for her second pilgrimage, she wasn't expecting to witness a profound metaphor about energy practices worldwide. Standing at the birthplace of Reiki, Christine observed how a precise typhoon had taken down only the sacred masculine symbol—a centuries-old Kami tree—while leaving the companion feminine symbol—an ever-flowing spring—completely untouched.
Christine's insights illuminate a potential evolution in Reiki practice—what she calls "Reiki Fusion"—honoring the traditional structure while embracing intuitive flow. Her journey challenges us to reconsider whether our spiritual practices have overemphasized masculine energy (structure, hierarchy, perfection) while neglecting the feminine (intuition, inner wisdom, natural flow).

In today's episode, we cover:

• The highlights of Christine's Pilgrimage to the birthplace of Reiki
• How the Buddhist roots of Reiki transformed Christine's perspective
• Exploring spiritual balance between structure and flow
• Comparing this trip to Christine's first pilgrimage
• Contrast between mainland Japan temples and Okinawan forests
• The stark contrast between masculine and feminine energies
• Why we need to embrace our intuition and inner wisdom
• Personal transformation through nature and travel
• Fall of the sacred tree on Mount Kurama as a metaphor for energy shifts
• Call to balance tradition with authentic self-expression

Ready to discover what happens when we honor both the structure and the flow in our Reiki practice? Listen now!
