Common Elements in Reiki

Since Mr Usui began teaching Reiki early last century it has grown from his own small school, in which he is believed to have taught around 2000 Students, to a worldwide practice with millions of Practitioners, Clients and Teachers.

In the main, word has spread from person to person, as they have experienced what Reiki has to offer and shared with family and friends.

Reiki has fragmented into many different styles. Rather than focus on the differences between the styles we can look to what they have in common to understand better what Reiki is. A review of the many different styles can be found here.
