EPISODE 61: JOJAN JONKER ON HIS BOOK ABOUT TOKIO YOKOI
Jojan L. Jonker is Reiki Master, Independent Scholar in the field of Religious Studies, Autho He worked for many years as an ICT consultant. In 1994, Reiki came on his path, and in 1998 he became Reiki Master. He developed a special interest for new spiritualities and healing. In 2010, he graduated in Interreligious Spirituality (Radboud University Nijmegen), continued in 2011 as an external PhD Candidate, and obtained his doctorate in 2016.
His latest book, Tokio Yokoi, shares research that could make the case to suggest that a Japanese Christian reverend namedTokio Yokoi and not Mikao Usui may have been the progenitor of Reiki.
Here are the links to his book, his website, and a link to our previous chat about his Reiki journey.
Important note: As the host of this podcast, I'm personally keeping an open mind and approaching this with curiosity but do not endorse any specific point of view. I just want to present to you and everyone information that may result interesting and keep you up to date with some of the latest conversations about Reiki history.
