Hawayo Hiromi Kawamura Takata (24 December 1900 – 11 December 1980)

45 years ago today, Hawayo Takata passed through the veil separating this world and that of the ancestors, less than two weeks before her eightieth birthday.

45 years earlier (11 December 1935), Takata was attending her second day of Reiki training at the Hayashi Reiki Kenkyūkai, learning the spiritual therapy to which she would then dedicate her life.

Her 45 years of devotion to Reiki transformed the practice from an obscure Japanese healing art to one poised to become a truly global phenomenon with millions of practitioners worldwide.

If Reiki has touched your life or the life of someone you love, take a moment to remember this remarkable woman and express gratitude for her hard work that made this all possible 🙏

This is a must share—it’s so beautifully written by poet Mark Nepo. 🙏🌸

A PLACE
UNDER PAIN

There’s no explaining
how things get stirred in
our mind, though they
gentle out in our heart.
I only know that despite
or because of all that gets
in the way, I am returned
to a stillness that waits
under everything.
At the bottom of every
hope and regret, a place
under all fear that is not
afraid, a place under all
pain that is not hurting.
A place we can settle into
like the arms of a loved one
who only utters, “I know.
I know.”

A Question to Walk With:
In conversation with a friend or loved one, describe something solid you stand on when afraid or in pain.

This poem is from my book in progress, To Open Life Between Us.
