I am Mrs Takata. My sisters and brothers, it is my personal honour to further welcome you to the family of Reiki. I would like to inform you that myself and Sai Baba, are the beings, the energies, that have attuned you during this attunement session.

Many of you wonder who I am. I am Takata; I am the energy of that lady that is responsible for bringing forward the tradition that our wonderful teacher and friend, Dr Usui, gave us. Some of you would wonder why I would be present at what could be called an unconventional Reiki training course. I am present, brothers and sisters, because I am very excited to see things move forward.

I have been portrayed as that stern lady who insisted that everything was done in a methodical and planned way. It is true, I trained some of my early Reiki Masters this way, but a number of the later Masters that I trained were taught very differently. They did not, of course, pass on the unconventional aspects of what I taught them, because in those days most people thought that it was necessary to stick to tradition, not only the tradition of Reiki, as taught and re-discovered by Dr Usui, but all traditions. Now is the time when myself, Quan Yin, Dr Usui, Germaine, Wotanna, Djwhal Khul, and others of the Ascended Lords and Ladies of Shamballa, are working collectively to move these philosophies forward, so that they truly may take their place in this Golden Age of Light that is rapidly approaching on this Earth of yours. Things are changing very quickly, and many, many, many healing facilitators are required in a very short time. Things are speeding up and you must speed up with them.

Go out, speak about what you know. Use what you know for the furtherance of the energy of love; for the furtherance of the energy of light. And when ones that have not heard of Reiki ask you; "What is this Reiki?" the only thing you need to reply is; "Reiki is Love." There is no need to tell them, those that have not been attuned, and had any information passed on to them, there is no need to go into; "This is a system of symbolism. We use these symbols, you do this, you do that." There is no need for them to know this. It is not secrecy, but I would ask you not to confuse them; not to send them into rigid patterns of thinking.

 Reiki is love; love is wholeness; wholeness is balance; balance is well-being, freedom from dis-ease. Remember these words. You can sum up Reiki with them. Colleagues, for that is what you are, you are not students, you are not trainees, you are not below me, you are not below this one that I am channelling through; realise that you are colleagues, that you are all Masters in your own right. If you weren't Masters in your own right, why would you be here? There would be no reason for you to be here. Walk forward in love, walk forward in light, speak of that light, and spread that light through your hearts, spread that light through your hands, spread that light through your feet, and spread that light through your eyes. I bless you all, and again I say to you, welcome home to the Family. Bless you.

It is I, Takata. I am here again to briefly address you on the subject of Reiki.

I would like you all to know that most beings upon this planet had Reiki before.

Many ones understand the meaning of this word, the meaning of this energy.

Again, I will compound what the dear Doctor has just told you. You have now returned home. You have now returned home to love, compassion and light. Remember this short sentence, because contained within it is all you need to know. Bless You. You may now start to return yourselves to your normal consciousness.

Of course, you should by now know that you will never be "normal" again! I leave you.

 The above channelling was received through John Armitage during a Shamballa Reiki I & II workshop

held at Bangor on 13/14 July1996.
