Just Like Medicine, in general, has its Types and Sub-types, “Reiki” too, has its various streams with the basic building block established by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui.

Karuna Reiki is developed by William Rand and is very popular today. It was introduced in 1995 but is used by many now-a-days. Karuna Reiki, itself, has many levels/sub levels, but for that, too, you should be Master in “Reiki” before you go for any other Avataar of Reiki.

Karuna is a Sanskrit Word and it means Compassion/Love.
