but something i wanted to specifically wanted to share about it was during the initiation ceremony one of the masters said they felt a spirit guide present. the master said the spirit guide was specifically a male kachina, a native american with a huge headdress of feathers, a dancer. ok so obviously this info seems trite and conventional at first. and i have zero connection to it personally but for the fact that this was the fourth time i can remember someone saying this to me randomly.
reiki is specifically japanese. the master is not influenced by native american mythology or propaganda that i know of. there have been instances where randoms have said they thought i was a native american man upon sideglancing at me...
so anyhow, i decided to look up imagery based on the masters description. i like the pics.

In Hopi, the word Kachina (Katsina or Qatsina) means literally "life bringer", and can be anything that exists in the natural world or cosmos. A Kachina can be anything from an element, to a quality, to a natural phenomenon, to a concept.

Broadface: Often called the angry Kachina, he carries Yucca Whips sometimes used to enforce community cleaning.
