“A Reiki master holds no lordly power over his or her students. A Reiki master is simply a person who has chosen to take the next step into mastership by accepting a greater level of responsibility for his or her life.

By accepting this responsibility, the Reiki master is empowered to use specific processes to assist others in further empowering themselves.”  ~Paula Horan
