Pet Peeve

I am annoyed by metaphysical authors that vary WILDLY in quality for no apparent reason.

The Hawaiian Trinity Reiki manuals I found are very solid, well-written material, with good techniques and actual knowledge displayed, even down to acknowledging the controversies and outright myths surrounding the Huna system.

Since finding those, I've found a number of manuals for other Reiki systems by the same author. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) Most of them have less than five paragraphs of material, and it's pretty much all just variations of "hold this thought/intention/visualization in your mind while doing reiki/passing attunements". I'm also saddened to see that her website is one of the ones offering the "Elenari Healing System" as an attunement (though at least she is ethical enough to be offering it as a free attunement.)

I hate sinking my teeth into pablum when I think I've gotten hold of a steak...

At least I can get something out of the Hawaiian Trinity manuals. They mesh fairly well with what I know of Huna, incorporate a number of symbols that are based on Huna imagery (along with a few that are not), and all in all resonates fairly well with me with perhaps a few small changes here and there.

She did say it was a modification of an existing system, so perhaps I'll look into that as well. It may be that the things which are most attracting me to this system did not originate with her.
