THE Original Usui Reiki Ryoho - and other things
by James Deacon

EXCERPT:

So many different people have so many different beliefs as to what THE Original Usui Reiki Ryoho entailed.
Most of us are probably aware of the seemingly endless array of spiritual / self- developmental practices, energy-sensing techniques, breathing and visualisation exercises, treatment methods, etc, etc. which, according to this or that supposedly authoritative source, were vital elements of THE Original Usui Reiki Ryoho
However, I would offer another perception (and yes, it does rather depend on which version of the “Story of Reiki” you accept).
