Reiki: The Legacy of Dr. Usui

by Frank Arjava Petter

A great deal has been written and said to date about the history of Reiki and its founder. The author has come across documents that quote Mikao Usui's original words. In a number of essays, he discusses topics related to Reiki and the viewpoints of an independent Reiki teacher. Questions that his students asked and he answered throw light upon Usui's very personal view of the teachings. Materials meant as the basis for his student's studies round off the entire work. A family tree of the Reiki successors is also included.

Reiki has developed into a spiritual healing method that is well-known and highly valued througout the world-inseparably connected with its founder Mikao Usui.

Tradition and myth have combined into the story of Dr. Usui's life- and many questions about it have remained open. Reiki Master Frank Arjava Petter, who lives in Japan, has now discovered documents that reproduce Dr. Usui's original words. Questions that Dr. Usui answered provide information about his own very personal view of the teaching and are supplemented by materials used as the basis for his student's studies. In addition, Frank A. Petter includes insights on various topics and themes from the perspective of an independent Reiki Master.
