Others look back even further to the civilisations of Mu and Atlantis for the birth and development of Reiki. Of course without written proof we can only speculate how humanity learnt to harness and develop the universal life force. Dr Mikao Usui: Founder & 1st Grand Master What we can be certain of and confirm is that it was rediscovered...

During my healing process from complex OCD, phobias and panic attacks I saw three Person-Centred Counsellors spread out over a six year period.

Introduction During a Reiki Level 1 course, most students find it easy to connect to Reiki energy. They also find it easy to do the meditation exercises that are taught to strengthen it.
