The Quick Guide to Reiki: the History of Reiki (Quick Reiki Guides)

If you look on Reiki web sites you'll see lots of conflicting accounts, and many sites perpetuate myths about Reiki's origins. You'll hear that Reiki was created by a Dr Mikao Usui, a Christian theologian, who was prompted by his students' questions to go on a quest to find a healing method, culminating in a 21-day fast up a mountain where he was hit by a bolt of light, saw symbols in bubbles, and Reiki was born. Sadly, almost none of that is true, and the real history of Reiki makes far more sense and is much more interesting.

In this Quick Reiki guide you can find all about Mikao Usui's life and the system that he developed, where it came from, and how it came to the West.
