It's not seperate groups, per se. The RRWg, whom became the Reiki council are the group whom have been trying to co-ordinate some regulation.

I see nothing of what this guy posted appears on the UKRF website, nor in the NOS, nor in the Guidelines.
Perhaps not in such an obvious way. He is th echair of the UK Reiki Fed, and is also in charge of research in UK Reiki Fed. So, without a doubt he influences the UK Reiki Fed.

It is, however, very interesting that there are many versions of the Reiki story.
One of the things which crossed my mind while teaching today's course was, why should I tell my students to teach the traditional Reiki story the way I learned it, if nobody can tell me what the truth is? Why should I perpetuate lies?
This is a good point. Students will want to know the history of Reiki. It's why so many practitioners were crying out for traceable roots for many years.
It's very, very simple. The truth is straight. It doesn't become convolouted, and it isn't contradictory. There's no lies in the truth. A person can see if any of these factors apply, if they stop taking things on face value, when a person claims them, and research themselves, they begin to see what's going on. We can do our own researchm but also network with others, such as on forums, and listne to what they say. Also not taking what they say on face value either. But gathering a large picture.
It can seem very daunting. And i'll be honest Chris, it does become very, very upsetting. It's so demoralising to realise that fellow Reiki folks deliberately tell lies, in order to make money of our colleagues. I went through shock myself, then denial. I couldn't beleive that folks whom experience the divine like we do, could be so bad.
I've mentioned this next bit befor,e but not openely used the name, but really, i'm telling the truth, so trust in God that way. This guy is the chair of UK Reiki Fed. sits on meeetings on Reiki in houses of parliament. And is head of research in UK Reiki Fed. Yet it was myself whom had to tell him, during th ecourse, what i should actually be gettign taught. I went to primarily recieve the initiaitons of Takata sensei, but experience the teachings also. I had serious concerns during the course, which i confronted him with. I was offered half refund, that's true. However, i'd already traveleld to london, had got the loan out, from a loan shark, so it was hard ot walk away from my objective. I was 1 day from recieveing the initiaiton procedures. I set my fears aside, and decided to stay. Anyhow, once i came back, i got the initiaitons checked out, and they were no way what Takata sensei taught. We argued bout this over the phone. He told me our agreement was i was to learn Western Reiki! Such a generic term! I was already a techer in Western Reiki. No way would i go through that for more crap. Thw whole idea was to recieve accurate Usui Shiki Ryoho teachings. He knew this, i made it clear throughout our initial discussion, months before i came over, and also during the course, it was only what Takata snesie taught that i wanted to learn. And definitely her initiations.
I was tricked, and only i had the good fortune to be able to check things, i sitll may not have known. If me, a really novice researcher was able to know all this both in course, and within 2 days of coming home, i cna't beleive for one second that the 'masters master', 'longest practicing Reiki pracititoner alive', 'senior student to Soke Dai (lineage bearer to Usui sensei)', didn'nt know fully what he was doiung with me.
People like this has infiltrated Reiki at it's highest levels, as in the UK Reiki Fed. This shows how much at the core, this problem is.
Take care
