The word Reiki is derived from two Japanese words:
" "REI" means universal, transcendental spirit, mysterious power, essence.
" "KI" means "Chi" or life force energy, which is the energetic building block of life.
When my Mother passed, Kuan Yin, wrapped me in her loving arms and has given me peace, through the years. My hopes are that everyone in the world know Reiki and have it in their lives. This is not a utopian vision that instantly creates a world of complete harmony and total peace. Yet having Reiki allows greater peace and harmony to flow. Over time the healing of the worlds ills will be accomplished and, with Reiki in the hands of everyone, that day will come much more quickly.
Reiki is a wonderful gift which can be shared between us all.
In this vision each new teacher of Reiki increases the rate at which Reiki spreads. The growth is exponential as more people teach and spread this gift. It is like a flame being passed from person to person, lighting a light within each person it touches. Like lighting a candle, the flame is not diminished by lighting more candles, instead there is more light.
I ask and pray that as Reiki is spread that the truth be given clearly and completely. It does not do to smudge up Reiki with inappropriate extra contraptions.

This has occurred during the attunements, or while giving or receiving treatments or while meditating. These experiences can be inspirational as well as healing. Because this happens frequently and the healing energies are so strong, many feel that this compassion comes from Kuan Yin and the other Bodhisattvas.
We live in a wonderful time when ancient wisdom is combining with modern methods to spread spiritual practices all over the world. Millions of people practice Reiki now and the numbers continue to grow. This is having a powerful effect on our spiritual lives and helping to heal the planet. As the pace quickens, world peace becomes possible. Let us use the healing power that comes to us now to heal ourselves and help others. May you always walk in peace.

Reiki is Light and Harmony within and through all planes of being/reality. Origins of hands-on healing practices go back to the beginnings of spiritual culture, across most traditions: Egypt, India, Greece, America...
Present lines of Reiki teachings as they are imparted in the West come, although somewhat transformed, from Japan, thanks to Mikao Usui Sensei.
Reiki teachings are continuously expanding, bringing wellbeing and awareness of spiritual power over mind and matter to millions of people across the whole planet.
Kuan-yin transfers Her boundless blessings through the Light of this Reiki conduct. This Lineage initiations, originated implicitly from Essential Reiki, now carry explicitly the empowerment of Kuan-yin herself, which gives rise to Her unlimited energy of compassionate love within each recipient, to be expanded by he or she through the world.
Kuan-yin inspired Diane Stein along her many healing and teaching activities, and also through her written texts. Kuan-yin kept Her blessing across each link of Essential Reiki lineage. Carolyn Ford. Taylor, as a direct initiate of Diane Stein, transmits Kuan-yin energies through Essential Reiki as well.
I have received the gift of heart-consciousness of Kuan-yin as the primal guide-force of this Reiki transmission, once received the revelation of her ancestral yidam and innermost being-essence in Kuan-yin.
