Lineage, Students, and Luxury Reiki: How to Verify a Reiki Master in 15 Minutes

Отromanreiki

Three tools for checking a Reiki master: a professional profile on an aggregator, a list of real students, and the lineage of transmission. We examine specific examples to reveal what each actually shows.

1. Profile on b17.ru: Real Presence or Just a «Checkbox»?

b17.ru is Russia’s largest aggregator of psychologists and psychotherapists. Having a page there is often presented as a sign of professionalism. But what matters is not the existence of a profile, but its content.

Example — the profile of Irina Kozlova (b17.ru/koir/):

Parameter Data
Specialisation Psychodynamics, transpersonal psychology, family therapy
Education Science of Mind (1993–1997); transpersonal psychology via EUROTAS (1995–1998)
EAP Registered in 2004 via «grandfathering» — mass admission without standard exam

Assessment: the page exists but is minimal — no detailed description, no reviews, no activity. This is not a profile of a practising specialist actively seeing clients via b17. It was created as a «checkbox» — something to show when asked «where can I find you on b17?»

2. Students: Verification by Open Sources

Results of checking students of one Reiki school via open sources:

Name Found in open sources
Mikhail Moshenkov ✅ Only one with real international visibility — School of Light Reiki (Latvia). Works in UK, France, Germany, Japan
Alyona Koltasheva ❌ No Reiki presence found
Galina Prikhodnaya ❌ Not found
12 more people ❌ Not found on any independent platform, social media, or aggregator

Conclusion: of ~23 people, only one has verifiable independent presence outside the school’s ecosystem. The «global community of professionals» exists essentially only within the teacher’s platform.

3. Lineage: What It Is and Why It Matters

Officially claimed lineage of one popular school:

Mikao Usui → Suzuki San → Chris Marsh → Taggart King →
Benedict Karausch → Miroslav Zhiva → Ma Atma Ruchira →
Veronica Krainova → Olesya Dobrovolskaya
Link Status
Mikao Usui ✅ Historically confirmed (1865–1926)
Suzuki San → Chris Marsh ⚠️ Disputed. Chris Marsh (British) claimed to have studied under a 107-year-old student of Usui. Most Reiki researchers (Frank Arjava Petter, Justin Stein) could not confirm this
Taggart King ✅ Real master, founder of Reiki Evolution (UK). Western modification, not Japanese authenticity
Benedict Karausch, Miroslav Zhiva ⚠️ Minimal online presence, not independently verified
Ma Atma Ruchira Russian author of Reiki books, founder of Tantra-Reiki and Bija-Reiki (author systems). Spiritual name; real name not disclosed

4. Luxury Reiki: Author Overlay or Tradition?

What is sold: «Reiki style for attracting large money flows and luxury», initiation into «Luxury energy», collective abundance meditations, a wish map.

Historical note: Usui taught Reiki as a system of spiritual self-improvement — not as a tool for attracting money. «Wealth Reiki» is an author overlay with no historical basis in the original tradition.

Checklist: How to Verify a Master in 15 Minutes

  1. Profile on aggregator (b17, YouTalk, Zigmund): are there real reviews and activity — or is the page empty?
  2. Students: find 3–5 graduates in a search. Do they have sites or profiles outside the teacher’s platform?
  3. Lineage: are the key links verified by independent sources?
  4. Author systems: «Luxury», «Bija», «Tantra» — these are additions to classical Reiki, not the original tradition.
  5. Healing claims: an honest practitioner says «Reiki is a relaxation practice», not «I’ll cure your illness».
