Frank Arjava Petter lived in Japan for twelve years where he operated a language school, a translation/interpretation service and a therapy centre. Until December 2024 he was  the Vice President of the Jikiden Reiki Institute, Kyoto, one of the biggest Reiki Schools in the world with more than 40.000 students at present. He is currently retired and is waiting for things to unfold. 

Arjava lives with his family in Eressos, Lesvos Island, Greece and teaches Reiki, Meditation and Family Constellations (family therapy) worldwide.

Arjava is originally German, but has been lived and worked abroad most of his adult life. His professional career has taken him from being an organic farmer to working as a motion picture set decorator, from being a photographer to upgrading and repairing computers. He has worked in construction, as a therapist as well as being one of the personal body-guards and gardeners of the Indian Mystic and Meditation Master, Osho.

This wide variety of jobs has taught him how to work with people of all ages from different races, cultures and backgrounds. He focusses on opening his students hearts.

Arjava has been teaching Reiki since 1992 but his deeper and internationally celebrated involvement with Reiki began when he “discovered” the grave and memorial of Reiki founder Mikao Usui in Tokyo and original documents by Usui and his students.

His research culminated in the publication of his ten international bestselling books “Reiki Fire”, “Reiki, the legacy of Dr. Usui”, “The original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui”, “The Spirit of Reiki”, “Reiki best Practices”, “The Reiki techniques of Dr. Hayashi”,“Glücklichsein”, “Reiki ganz Klar”, “This is Reiki”, “One with Reiki” and “…is….” . His latest books of poetry published during the corona days are “Love Speaks”, “Promise me never to get Hurt”, “Night Walk” the autobiographical “Still… Here and Now” about the times he lived with Osho, “Longing for the One”. “Tender Awareness” and “125 Waka of the Meiji Emperor”. His next Reiki book will be released shortly.

Presently he spends his days with his family, working in their organic olive farm and writing more inspirational texts and fiction to be published in the future. Stay tuned…
