Ascension Reiki has been brought to us by the extensive work of Jayson Suttkus as a result of his study of the Ascended Masters, Usui Reiki and ancient important texts such as The Aquarian Gospel, The Bhagavad Gita, The Bible, The Essene Gospels, The Teachings of the Compassionate Buddha, The Upanishads, The Srimad Bhagavatam, The Book of Tao, The Yoga Sutras, and The Vedas.

In modern times the degrees of Usui Reiki are the basic Reiki from which all other forms of Reiki have evolved. Ascension Reiki completely encompasses Usui Shiki Ryoho and attunements/re-attunement tothe degrees of Usui Shiki Reiki are included in the First Multilevel Master Attunement of Ascension Reiki. 

The attunement process of Ascension Reiki attunes the total anatomy of the Higher Self. The basic anatomy of the Higher Self is eightfold in nature. The first eight attunements of Ascension Reiki attune the eight anatomical aspects of the Higher Self. The ninth degree attunement attunes the Higher Self. This is a step by step process that opens the natural anatomical energy pathways in each individual. This allows the Reiki current to flow freely and automatically with the intent to heal.
