The origin of Reiki has come to be surrounded by many stories and myths. The author, a Reiki master practicing in Japan, traces the origins in a new light following the path of Usuisan back in time through meetings with his descendants and climbing the holy mountain of his enlightenment.  In addition, Reiki Fire is an excellent Reiki textbook, fresh and rousing in its spiritual perspective, depicting the teaching of life energy in its original sense.
