I have been surprised at how much of a natural affinity I feel to Jikiden Reiki and everything that comes with it, it sounds strange but I feel like I've finally made it home! And things make more sense for me, I also feel so much clamer, my fiance has already commented on the noticeable change in me. KJ

Light on the Origins of Reiki by Tadao Yamaguchi
An informative book by Tadao Yamaguchi in which he relates the fascinating life story of his mother, a great Japanese Reiki Teacher who had learned Reiki from Chiujiro Hayashi at the age of 17 and kept on practising in her daily life for more than 65 years, passing on her wealth of insights to her son. It also covers a little about Japanese culture and Reiki and some information about Jikiden Reiki.
I highly recommend this book to all, it is unlike any other Reiki book I have read.
