Patrick Zeigler Lineages and Karuna Reiki This page has been posted to my website for
information purposes to help avoid confusion over Patrick Zeigler’s energy
systems lineages and William Rand’s Karuna Reiki system. Background Kathleen Milner is Head of Lineage for the trademarked
Tera-Mai energies. Kathleen has done much to support the practice of working
with the Tera-Mai energies for healing purposes and has travelled the world
to teach them. Although I am not a member of Kathleen’s Tera-Mai Association,
I am in her Tera-Mai lineage for the Seichem and Violet Fire energies which I
teach and work with. My teacher for these energies learned them direct from
Kathleen. William Rand is the well known founder of The Patrick Zeigler is the American energy healer who
had an initiatory experience in the Great Pyramid in Patrick Zeigler has posted to the internet advising
along the lines that ‘since
its introduction over 40% of the Reiki variations have sprung out of Seichim,
Tera Mai, Karuna and Sekhem being the most well known’. An example of the
posting can be seen at http://seavision.yuku.com/forum/viewtopic/id/698. Many years ago comments were circulating within the
healing community regarding the origins of Kathleen’s Tera-Mai Seichem system
and William’s Karuna Reiki system. At that time Kathleen and William wished
to present an agreed position on this matter to the healing community and in
1995 a Joint Statement was agreed following a legal process. The Statement is
reproduced further down this page.
More recently, commitment to that Joint Statement as being the only
official comment on the matter was confirmed following a further legal
process. When I first started learning Tera-Mai Seichem in
1997, it was regularly stated to me that William Rand had copied or plagiarised Kathleen Milner’s Tera-Mai Seichem and had
called it Karuna Reiki. This information page is being posted at the beginning
of 2011 and during 2010 I still heard people saying that William Rand had
taken Kathleen Milner’s Tera-Mai Seichem and called it Karuna Reiki. The Joint Statement reproduced below states quite
clearly that both Kathleen Milner and William Rand accept that the courses
that they teach are distinct, involving different teachings, methods,
initiations and attunements. Not only is it incorrect for people to say that
William Rand took Kathleen Milner’s Tera-Mai Seichem and called it Karuna
Reiki, such statements are defamatory to William and call into question his
personal integrity and standard of conduct in the public domain. William Rand
is not a thief, he is not a fake, he is not a fraudster and he is not a liar.
William is an honourable man who has worked hard for
many years to facilitate the practice of Reiki around the world and is highly
respected by those who have worked with him.
Patrick Zeigler has stated that Kathleen Milner’s Tera-Mai
Seichem is a variation of his Seichim from the Great Pyramid. In case people
reading Patrick’s internet postings assume incorrectly that the Karuna that
he is talking about as coming out of Seichim is William Rand’s Karuna Reiki
because they know of Patrick’s view of the connection between his Seichim and
Kathleen’s Tera-Mai Seichem and have also heard of the false allegations
about William renaming Kathleen’s Tera-Mai Seichem, could they please note
the following: ·
Legal process resulted in the issuing of
the Joint Statement confirming that what Kathleen and William teach is
distinct. ·
Although Kathleen and William may use some
symbols in their energy systems that look the same when written on paper,
this does not mean that the energetic empowerment of the symbols is the same
between their teachings and does not mean that the symbols have the same
activation or effect between their energy systems. ·
Because there is no link between William
Rand’s Karuna Reiki and Kathleen Milner’s Tera-Mai Seichem, there cannot by
default be any link between William Rand’s Karuna Reiki and the work of
Patrick Zeigler by way of a Kathleen Milner connection. ·
William Rand has never received any one
to one initiations from Patrick Zeigler direct or from people in Patrick
Zeigler’s Seichim lineage. ·
Consequently, nobody in William Rand’s
Karuna Reiki lineage is in any Patrick Zeigler lineage in respect of William
Rand’s Karuna Reiki. It would be appreciated if people could ensure that
the information on this webpage is passed on should they ever hear incorrect
statements being made about connections between William Rand, Kathleen Milner
and Patrick Zeigler. I have not made enquiries of Patrick Zeigler about
which Karuna system he refers to in his internet postings and I do not know
how many there are. If anybody needs clarification on what Patrick Zeigler
means with his postings, he may be contacted through his website at www.all-love.com. If anybody needs to check what I have written with
William Rand, he may be contacted through his website at http://www.reiki.org. The Joint Statement William has given me permission to reproduce the
Joint Statement below here on my website. Kathleen has posted confirmation of
the importance of the Joint Statement to her website which can be found by
