I have been teaching and practicing Usui Reiki as an Usui Reiki Master since 1988.  My particular Usui Reiki ineage is as follows: Mikao Usui--> Chujiro Hayashi-->Hawayo Takata-->Phyllis Furumoto-->Florance O'Neal--> Mathew Eliot-->me. I am an Usui Reiki Master in the Usui System of Natural Reiki Healing, Usui Shiki Ryoho. I first joined the Reiki Alliance in 1989, and am currently an active member.

 I have also trained in Jikiden Reiki, a Japanese Usui Reiki form. I am a fully certified Shihan which is the Japanese word for Teacher of  Jikiden Reiki amd I am associated with the Jikiden Reiki Institute (Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai) located in Kyoto, Japan. My Jikiden Reiki lineage is Mikao Usui--> Chujiro Hayashi-->Wasaburo Sugano-->Chiyoko Yamaguchi-->Tadao Yamaguchi-->me.  Unlike Takata-sensei lineage Usui Reiki Jikiden Reiki focusses on the individual who introduces and teaches you the first level of Jikiden Reiki or Shoden. In the Jikiden Reiki form Chiyoko Yamaguchi-sensei's Shoden  (1st level)and Okuden(2nd Level) teacher was Chujiro Hayashi whose teacher was Mikao Usui.In my case I learned all levels of Jikiden Reiki from Tadao Yamaguchi who founded Jikiden Usui Reiki with his mother Chiyoko Yamaguchi-sensei..

I offer both Talata-sensei lineage Traditional Usui Reiki (Usui Shiki Ryoho) and Jikiden Usui Reiki Treatments (Usui Reiki Ryoho) and workshops.For more information on our Usui Reiki seminars go to http://www.e-mcity.org for more information .

How do you a Reiki Master or Shihan/Teacher to take Reiki seminars
 from? I suggest that you can rely on Reiki Masters who can with integrity trace their lineage back to Mikao Usui. These are usually masters who offer straight-forward, stand alone, single level no-nonsense Reiki  seminars and whose commitment to reiki is long-standing.
