In the early 90's David completed Reiki Levels I and II. In 2004, he was initiated into Erotic Reiki Level I by a Reiki master and Sacred Intimate at a Sacred Intimate conference.
Reiki is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy, the energy which is all around us. Reiki, when activated and applied for purposes of healing, addresses body, mind and spirit. It accelerates the body's ability to heal physical ailments and opens the mind and spirit to the causes of disease and pain, the necessity for taking responsibility for one's life and the joys of balanced wellness. The Usui System of Reiki is a natural healing art which uses Reiki in the following ways.
This system was borne out of the experience and dedication fo Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Christian educator who, in the 1800's responded to a challenge fro his university students by undertaking an extensive study of the healing phenomena of history's greatest spiritual leaders. Through travel, study, research and meditation he evolved a healing system based on ancient Buddhist teachings written in Sanskrit. He spent the rest of his life practicing and teaching this method of natural healing, which involved attunement to the energy and the laying on of hands.
