Monday evening May 24 we visited the weekly Reiki share held at Daizen-In Buddhist Temple near Bukku-Ji Temple in central Kyoto.

The web site has the address in English and in Kanjai characters, and it is useful to show Kanji characters of places where one is going to taxi drivers.
Sensei Hyakuten Inamoto was away in Spain at the time of our visit, but his share is very Reiki alive and we felt his presence through his senior students.
At the beginning no one else was English speaking, but simply saying "Reiki"was the ticket to a warm reception. There is a regular share of about 15 people, usually several visitors drop in each week, and the atmosphere is inclusive and the energy exceptional. Sabrina, an American teaching English in Kyoto, arrived a little later and translated for us much of the evening.
After a meditation, a Reiki circle, and attunements from senior share members, three tables were brought out and four or five people worked together on each person - visitors getting the first sessions - but everyone rotated to receive the Reiki.
Joan's knee has been slowly recovering from a meniscal tear, - and this session was a nice step forward healing wise! (the next day we climbed Kurama Yama not taking the funicular on the way up - so something went well in the Reiki - normally meniscal tears need surgery and one does not climb Kurama Yama with one)
Blending energy with other Reiki practitioners is a great joy, and this evening was no exception.
We were told the Sensei teaches simplicity in Reiki - here - simplicity leads to elegance. A wonderful experience. Energy from this share was directed to friends, family and to those connected to me through Hospice or Reiki.
