Hi Drakke1 and welcome to this forum. Thank you for the links. Personally I find that Qigong is far superior to Reiki, but there are some here who would find the last link, at least, useful. I noticed that they have corrected some of the Reiki history on Peggy's site.
I still find people who think the Buddha taught it.
I got a lot of good results from it after I read about how Usui used to make his students. Meditate on the maning of the symbols for however long it took them to get attuned to the energy. I tried to do a meditation empowerment where I spent a whole month on each symbol. A few hours each day on the symbol at each chakra while repeating the word and contemplating the meaning. At its best it is a system for bringing closer together the mind body energy matrix we call being to it's source. But that takes a bit of growth on the practitioners part.
