Although some Reiki practitioners may work with other like-minded individuals, it is not necessary
for them to have a shared or common experience in
order for other forms of Reiki to be used effectively.
However, in Usui Rai Ryoho, being gay is the very essence of the shared energy experience and for
this reason, Usui Rai Ryoho is unique among all
other forms of Reiki practice.
