What does Reiki Mean in Japanese?
Rei- means: Universal or Cosmic / Ki – means: Life Force Energy
What does one feel when getting a Reiki treatment?
Reiki is effective in helping the body relax and heal from within. The first things experienced during a Reiki treatment is deep relaxation. Breathing flows profoundly and in its natural rhythm which we notice right away due to our bad breathing habits. Recipients feel the Ki energy moving trough out the body through different kind of sensations such as warm spots or tingling spots among other soft feelings. People perceive different things depending on their stronger abilities. e.g Some of us are better at visualizing 'Clairvoyance' some of us are better at listening "Clairaudience" Some of us are better at feeling "Clairsentience" some of us are better at knowing 'claircognizance'.
What is the origin of Reiki?
Reiki has been utilized since the beginning of time. We know that Jesus used his hands to heal and we know that we intuitively touch others when we know they need comfort but Reiki was recognized when Master Mikau Usui was awakened through a 21 day meditation in Japan in the 19th century. Since then he started a technique to teach Reiki that has survived to the modern times. In other words Reiki was not discovered by Master Mikao Usui, Reiki was found again.
What is the difference between healing touch and Reiki?
Healing touch also known as Therapeutic Touch or TT was developed by NYU Professor Dolores Krieger and Theosophy Dora Kunz in the 1970's. They follow a treatment similar to Reiki where they place their hands on or above the patients body and claim to be able to detect and manipulate the patient's energy field. The Healing Touch or Therapeutic touch do not follow an attunement or innitiation. Reiki is a spiritual practice and follows an attunement/innitiation for each level. Reiki practitioners understand that they are not healing the recipient but are acting as a channel to the Reiki energy which is flowing through the practitioner to the recipient body's helping them to relax and therefore heal within. Reiki is a beautiful mystery, it can't be explain easily but it can be felt.
How can Reiki Practice help conventional Health Care?
One of the benefits of Reiki is to alleviate pain. During a Reiki treatment it is observed that patients with pain start chatting, falling sleep and in many cases even snoring. This sign makes Reiki an important part of the healing process. Reiki is definitely a great asset in healthcare centers. Check out a list universities and care centers that are already practicing Reiki here
Is Reiki a religion?
No, Reiki is not connected to any religion and can be given to any person no matter his/her believes or backgrounds. Reiki is a spiritual practice and a holistic approach which balances the body and uses the client’s own healing mechanism. Spirituality is the study of one's self.
Can I use Reiki for other things beside people?
Reiki can also be given to animals and plants with great results. Reiki can also be used in places such as your home, office to maintain a good energy.
Why do you write Reiki with a capital letter R?
That is a good question. I get the feeling 'clairsentience' that I should write Reiki with a capital R and I am guided to do so. I know it is not necessary and some Reiki masters do not write it like that; however, I do.

I have been very successful not only in my practice but also teaching. It is Reiki who chooses the clients and the students when one decides to follow a spiritual path with Reiki. I love Reiki from day one and from day one I decided to pursue my path with Reiki and become a Reiki Master Teacher.
What is a lineage?
A Reiki lineage is sacred, it transports the teaching of a number of beings that were searching to love and live the same principles. These teachers have emphasized, not only living this principles but also passing them on to others in order to keep these principles alive. After you receive your attunement you understand that the best ways to respect these principles, is not to follow them but to live them. You have decided to live and love everything you encounter. With Reiki, this is not a difficult task. If you have felt guided to become a Reiki Master, it is your time.
What is your lineage?

Dr.Mikao Usui
Dr. Chujiro Hayashi
Mrs Hawayo Takata

What is your Reiki teaching technique?
I teach the following levels as taught by my lineage:
Level I : Students learn Usui Reiki and practice on themselves, family members and friends for 21 consecutive days. Students are in their practicum and do not charge money for services.
Level II: Students learn Distance Reiki Symbols, follow a 21 day practice and can start their own Reiki practice and charge for services.
Level III-ART: Students learn an advance Reiki training, charge higher fees and prepare to take the Mastership level with daily rituals and meditation.
Level IV-Mastership: Students learn to attune others, charge higher fees and practice to become Reiki Master Teachers. No more classes are required to become a teacher, only practice.
After taking each level with me, students can attend same classes free of charge as they advance to higher levels. It helps them in their practice to become Reiki Master/ Teachers.
It takes 4 levels to obtain Usui Reiki Mastership and 21 day practice for each level is required in my classes.
There are other teachers who teach level I and II same weekend or III and IV same weekend. No my style. I keep it quite traditional to the old days because in my opinion it takes time to assimilate each level as you grow with Reiki.

No, you can progress in Reiki as you feel comfortable. In order to deliver Reiki to yourself, family and friends you only need level I. In order to open a practice and assist clients you will only need level II, Level IIIArt and Mastership or IIIB are for those who want to have advance training in Reiki. If you do not want to teach Usui Reiki, you do not need Usui Reiki Master level -- IIIB. However it is a good idea to have master level to enhance healing.
Is there any difference between initiation and attunement?
Initiation and attunement are expressions for receiving the gift of Reiki, Initiation is simply the term that was utilize in old times and still being used by some Reiki Masters, the word attunement is the modern term.
Why is initiation necessary?
The initiation is a tradition or ritual that has been passed from teacher to student from the time when Mikao Usui found Reiki. It is a ceremony where the student accepts the gift of Reiki and commits to follow the Reiki principles to the best of his/her capacity. It is a spiritual practice where the Reiki Master Teacher activates certain point of the student’s body to open up their body to be a lifetime Reiki deliver. It is a spiritual interaction that empowers the student. The attunement differentiates Reiki from other healing practices as Reiki is a spiritual practice. Each student experiences something unique and personal which makes Reiki a wonderful mystery. We don’t really know how to explain what flows through our hands but we all know that we have this new gift and our system respond to it.
I have taken Reiki level I&II from another teacher, can I take the next Reiki levels with you?
I only accept students referrals from Reiki Masters who share my same lineage.
