Dr. Usui's HeritageDr. Mikao Usui is known as the Father of Reiki. His meticulous handbook lends validity to the practice by establishing Reiki as a consistently trained practice instead of being handed down through oral tradition.
When looking for a Reiki practitioner, you should look for him/her to have a certificate stating they studied under the Dr. Usui lineage. Reiki training in Japan is more extensive than in the U.S. In fact, most Reiki practitioners never really stop learning, and very few become trainers themselves. Reiki is a way of life, not just a practice that is employed for healing and balance. |
