presents Andrew Bowling's REIKI HISTORY Archives (formerly located at usuireiki.fsnet.co.uk/) From 1998 through 2006 Andy Bowling presented a web site detailed with Reiki History and facts.  When he discovered original teachings of Mikao Usui shared by Chris Marsh, he began to focus more in that direction.  In 2007 Andy decided to stop his Reiki History pages but gave me permission to host this archive at my web site. I hope you enjoy this original contribution to the Reiki world. If you have comments or suggestions, Contact Me.
