The Founding Statements were crafted by the masters who attended the gathering at Barbara Brown's home in 1983. Though it may seem that the wording is not in keeping with our latest nomenclature, the Alliance leaves the wording in its original state to preserve the wisdom that these Statements hold and bring forth from the members.
- We are an alliance of Reiki Masters.
- We regard all masters as equal in the oneness of Reiki.
- We acknowledge Phyllis Lei Furumoto as a Grandmaster in the direct spiritual lineage of Mikao Usui, Chujiro Hayashi and Hawayo Takata.
- The purpose of The Alliance is to support us as teachers in the Mikao Usui System of Reiki.
