Sister Carol has sent word that their beloved Sister Janet passed peacefully under the attendance of Sisters Carol and Peggy early this morning.

Their ministry provided health care for hundreds of handicapped children and provided a place of love and compassion to support the mothers and families. The mothers were trained in many therapies to assist in their children's care, such as Reiki, hydrotherapy, manual passive exercises, Thai massage, aromatherapy and many other modalities.Sister Janet will be greatly missed in the El Paso, Juarez and Anapra areas. She  lived a life of compassion and care. Many blessing to her.

Passing of Phyllis Lei Furumoto- Lineage Bearer of the Usui Shiki Ryoho

Subject: Passing of Phyllis Lei Furumoto

Dear The Reiki Alliance colleagues round the world,

The Board has received confirmation that Phyllis Lei Furumoto, Lineage Bearer of Usui Shiki Ryoho, in the spiritual lineage of Usui, Hayashi, Takata, and Furumoto, died March 31 in the presence of family and other loved ones.

We acknowledge the gift of her life and presence as Lineage Bearer over the years since Hawayo Takata’s death in 1980. This was a calling which she accepted for all people who practiced Usui Shiki Ryoho, and which was of particular significance for members of The Reiki Alliance which formed to support and recognize her as Hawayo Takata’s successor.

She touched many lives, and held a place dear to the hearts of many people who had taken the Reiki practice all over the world. Her dedication to the practice, her perceptiveness and insight into the practice were truly remarkable. She will be greatly missed.

The Board of the Reiki Alliance

Helga, Hildegard, Jolanda, Mark and Marten
