To Phyllis, with love … ❤️
Yesterday, August 22 was Phyllis Furumoto’s birthday. The Granddaughter of Hawayo Takata-sensei, Phyllis continued her grandmother’s legacy and brought so much to so many. She is greatly missed.
December 2013 I was blessed with meeting Phyllis and spending a portion of 5 days with her. In this time, I offered her and 12 Reiki Masters from Almaty, Kazakhstan and her Russian interpreter a tour of Cape Ann, MA, held a meeting with her and local Reiki Masters at my office, was interviewed for her Radio talk show about my work with Reiki in hospitals, dined at local restaurants, walked local beaches, enjoying priceless time and conversation with this Reiki legend; her legend large in life, as well as in death.
I had hoped to host an event with Phyllis and Hyakuten-sensei. At one point, she had mentioned, “Maybe 2019.” Sadly, that year she passed.
Hyakuten Inamoto-Sensei is honoring his dear friend, March 31st 2026 with a special Nana-kaiki on the ‘Garden Isle’ of Hawaii, commemorating the 7th Anniversary of her transition.
