I recently recieved the following email from David Hedelman (david@reikilinks.com).
His message touched me so much, I asked permission to put his message on this page.

Serena,
I hope that the Holy Day Season has so far been joyous for you.
I am reminded of a "sermon" I delievered one year at a Presbytarian
Church in a small town in South Central Oregon.
I spoke of the Gifts of the Magi - New Age Cult Members of Messagers of
God. It was on the Epiphany.
My basic message was that the Wise Men studied the stars and were aware
of the influence the Universe had on human events. How it was these
Astrolgers and practioners of what today is considered New Age, who knew
that a great religious prophet and healer was being born. They followed
the Star! They followed the Light! I asked if in today's church their
message would be rejected and scorned as "New Age"?
With Reiki and the laying on of hands, it is hard to help Christians
understand that Reiki is the way the Jesus heals (I use present tense
since I believe that the spirit of Christ is present in all healings).
It is a struggle at times to follow the light, to allow the light to
flow through my essence and not my ego.
That I may accept the gift that the Magi bring this year, the gift of
Reiki and healing, I open my heart to unconditional love and the Reiki
Principles "Just for Today I will not Worry. Just for Today I will not
anger.
