About Us

All who have contributed to the Grey Book Project offer thanks to The Estate of Phyllis Lei Furumoto for granting us permission to reprint 1,500 copies of the 1982 book Reiki, commonly called “The Grey Book.” It was a leap of faith for us when we further asked her Estate for permission to put all the contents of the book on a web site in at least eight languages. Yet permission for that was granted as well!

With all the love in our hearts, we offer this book and web site to all Reiki communities, with hope that this sharing of closely-held historical materials may unite us in our love of Reiki.

In loving memory
Phyllis Lei Furumoto
