Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.

Reiki naturally flows and is drawn into the client, you never have to force it in. Just allow your love and compassion to flow to the client with is, as love is also a great healing force. This way you are not using your own energies to heal. So, healer need to understand, that as reiki healers we are not the healer.
Is it good to call yourself Master of reiki?
According to my own research about what happened to reiki masters initiated by Hawayo Takata, no real successes are found. One of the oldest reiki masters started calling himself “master of masters” and now offers exorcism. He’s likely to be possessed, which is again not a very good sign of reiki initiation.
When did Mikao Usui start his Reiki practice?
Mikao Usui introduced the five reiki precepts, or principles, when he shared the healing practice with his students in 1922 to offer a framework for approaching real life. During my ritual, I enjoy reciting the precepts several times in Japanese and in English as a way to practice mental and emotional hygiene.
