Finally on 13th October,2008 I flew to Japan.

Fancy that. I have been contemplating taking up Reiki 1 with Parag for the last 4 months and I keep postponing. A friend of mine recommended him to me. When I was deciding which modality to pick up apart from Quantum Touch, I was attracted to the Reiki Princples Daily Affirmation -

I will be Honest
I will be compassionate to Myself and Others
This sets Reiki apart from other modalities.
