Reiki originated in Japan in the early 20th century. Mikao Usui embarked on a deep spiritual quest and climbed the sacred Mount Kurama. There, he fasted and meditated for 21 days until a powerful beam of light struck him. He received the attunement to the universal life energy and saw the sacred symbols in his mind's eye.
Originally, this teaching was reserved only for those prepared through an initiation—with the goal not just to use the symbols, but to internalize the life principles and the spiritual mindset behind them.
A Word from Heart to Heart: Tradition & Responsibility
As a Reiki Master, I hesitated for years to release these symbols to the public. Nowadays, you see them everywhere, but unfortunately often misrepresented or without the necessary knowledge of their sacredness.
My mission is to make these symbols available in their correct and powerful form after long, careful work—especially for all Reiki initiates who wish to use them with the necessary respect. I stand in a very direct lineage to the origins:
My Initiation Lineage:
Mikao Usui • Dr. Chujiro Hayashi • Hawayo Takata • Phyllis Lei Furumoto • Alfred Mörgeli • Doris Sommer • Jürgen Funke • Oliver Wiedemer • Carola Stober
This closeness to the roots is my promise to you that you are receiving energetically pure and authentic tools for your practice here.
