[abdelmalik]

في عام 1973، اجري استفتاء في معهد مولوهيد للدراسات الغيبية. تم احضار 993 ممارس للريكي لدراسة عاداتهم وطباعهم في الحياة. معظم النتائج كانت قريبة لنتائج الشعب الطبيعي باستثناء امرين مهمين:
الاول: عندما سالوا "هل تحس بان شخصا ما يراقبك او ان قوى خفية تراقبك؟" فاجابوا بنعم.
الثاني: عندما سالوا "هل تشعر بتعب غريب في اوقات غريبة من اليوم؟" اجابوا بنعم ...
الريكي يظل ممارسة غامضة ... لديها قدرة على تسكين العقل وشفاء الجراح لكنها على المدى البعيد تمتص طاقة الانسان الذي يمارسها.


In a 1973 survey conducted by the Molnhead Institute for the Study of the Occult (MISO), 993 Reiki practitioners were polled on a wide variety of subjects ranging from TV viewing habits to sexual performance. While most of the results contain statistically normal data for any segment of the populace, all of the respondents answered affirmatively to two questions: "Do you feel as though you are watched over by some unseen force?" and "Do you often feel tired at strange times during the day?"
Though much about Reiki remains a mystery, one thing is perfectly clear: though it has the ability to heal wounds and calm minds, its overall effect is that of a draining force on those who practice it.

"وو"
Woo Chung: The Immortal

بين عام 1836 و1927، اختفي مؤسس الريكي "وو" عن الانظار. عندما عاد، ادعي اتباعه بانه لا ينام مطلقا وكتب عنه في الجرائد احد اتباعه "دائم اليقظة ... في الليل كان يوقظني ويقول لي لقد صرت اصغر سنا". مع انه كان دائم السفر الى الصير واسيا الغربية ، لكن لم يوجد اي اثبات على بقائه في غرف الفنادق او الموتيلات. معظم اتباع الريكي حاليا يؤمنون بان "وو" لم ينم وهو حي الى يومنا هذا بعمر ال 173
. لا احد يعرف حقيقة علمه من اتباعه او غيرهم!

Between the years 1836 and 1927 (the year in which Woo Chung disappeared from the popular eye), no one ever witnessed him sleeping. One of Chung's first Reiki Masters, Yun Ming once commented in a Beijing newspaper interview that, "Woo is always awake. Many is the night that he wakes me up with 'Yun! Yun! I feel younger again!'" Despite his many travels across China and Western Asia, there are no records of any hotel rooms or sleeping quarters ever having been secured by or for Chung by himself or any members of his traveling entourage.
It is now believed by most serious Reiki scholars that Woo Chung never did sleep and lives on to this day, at the age of 173, in a perpetual state of wakefulness. His power derives solely from the power stolen from the injured and weary subjects of the Reiki 'healing' craft. What percentage of his followers know of the true nature of his art, it is uncertain.
