Likewise with the second degree, I have a chance to get it for free although I haven't felt the need for it yet. I think the master level costs even more like close to a thousand euros?
There is some good information indicating that the healing methods of Jesus were preserved by the Church of the East and passed on by it's missionaries who traveled along the Silk Road and other trade routes to India, Tibet and China. It is possible that this information on healing could have been incorporated into the religious teachings of the East and therefore could have been the original source of the Reiki techniques that were used by Dr. Usui."[/I]
