Archangel St. Michael is said to be the founder of this system of reiki. Angelic reiki symbols are same as usui reiki symbols.

Angels are considered as beings of a higher vibration. It is believed that when our consciousness is raised to a higher vibration we can see and contact angels. Proponents of this reiki claim that channeling and practising angelic reiki creates balance in our body, mind and spirit and raises our consciousness to a higher vibration.
