The Unlimited Potential
of Reiki Energy

Usui Reiki Ryoho is not something Usui Sensei was given as a complete system, but was something he developed over time. And in turn, he asked Hayashi Sensei to develop it further. Takata Sensei also developed it. This is the case, not only with how it is practiced, but more importantly, with the quality and quantity of Reiki energy one is able to channel. In this presentation, we will explain the historical facts concerning this understanding and also include a special meditation, in which each participant will be uniquely guided by the Reiki energy to receive healing and new levels of self-awareness.
