İsmail Bülbül
Owner and Author
With his expertise in his field, the degrees he has obtained, and his own developed special therapy techniques, İsmail Bülbül, a 17th Light Level Grandmaster Teacher of Usui Reiki, is one of the few Reiki teachers in the world. After living in Germany for 33 years, he is now in Turkey. He is at the 17th Light Level of Reiki (which is the final stage) and is one of the first eight masters worldwide to reach this level. After extensive research, he discovered the similarities between Reiki, which is often perceived as an Eastern philosophy, and Sufism, which is very familiar to the people of Anatolia, and he has continued his work in this direction.
Until now, we have heard about Reiki from Masters who are at the 4th level in our country, and through their teachings, we understood Reiki as a philosophy that is distant from our culture and beliefs. However, Grandmaster Teacher İsmail Bülbül’s deep knowledge and experience about Reiki, along with his ability to synthesize his teachings and therapies with Sufism, provides us with a completely new perspective on the subject.
In 2007, he completed his 14 years of Usui Reiki training, receiving all the stages of this school. By completing the 17th (FINAL LIGHT) stage (Dimensionale Reise) Time and Space Transcendent Journey, he became one of the first eight people worldwide in the USUI REIKI school.

Hello, I am Ezgi Sungur, born in 1992 in Lüleburgaz. After completing my primary and high school education here, I graduated from Marmara University, Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering in 2015.
While observing life and people with curiosity, I researched concepts such as psychology, philosophy, quantum physics, and energy. In 2017, I met Reiki and began to deepen my inner journey. After discovering the transformative power of breath, which connects the body, mind, and spirit, I took courses in breath coaching and ancient breath techniques from different schools. With Ayurveda entering my life, I incorporated a holistic approach based on Ayurvedic nutrition, breath, and meditation, as well as preventive medicine protocols. I continue to learn and update my knowledge with new innovations, moving forward on this journey.
With the awareness of the transformative power of everything I have internalized, I share my knowledge. I hope that through my writings, I can also shed light on your inner journey.

I was born in Istanbul in 1980 and have been living in Bodrum since 2015.
My journey of self-discovery began when life started to make me feel overwhelmed and trapped in a vicious circle. All the books I read advised that in order to be happy, one must change oneself, but none of them clearly explained how to do so.
Thus, I decided to attune myself to Reiki and was introduced to Usui Reiki in 2015. In 2017, I started taking up Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way teachings. In 2018, I received Holistic Life Coaching training, followed by EFT training in 2020. That same year, Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation also became part of my life. In 2021, I transitioned from the Fourth Way teachings to the Sufi path.

"After completing my degree in Journalism at Ankara Communication Faculty, I pursued a master's degree in the integrated Social Work program at Stavanger University (Norway) and Aalborg University (Denmark).
Following my studies in social sciences and clinical education, my belief in the necessity of collective service in all its aspects led me to enrich my knowledge by acquiring as much information as possible, including astrology, astro-psychology, and Reiki.
This is why Holistic Life Coaching has become the identity I embrace the most. Writing to my dear readers is my therapy, and it is a miracle. I wish for us to meet in what flows from Me to Us, to experience it fully."

I was born in İzmir in 1972. Despite having education in Computer Programming, Banking, and Insurance, I have never worked in those fields. I gained managerial experience in various textile companies, which is the family business. During my personal journey, I first encountered Astrology and later Reiki. I completed my basic, intermediate, and advanced Reiki trainings twice with different teachers. I continued my learning with Sinastry and Astro Tarot courses, which explain relationship compatibility. I want to continue my education in other areas of Astrology, which I can never get enough of.
I received my Reiki attunements from my teacher, İsmail Bülbül. I am a Reiki 3A Master student. My progress in Reiki will continue as my teacher deems me ready, so for now, I choose to enjoy the present moment.
Apart from sharing my daily comments on my personal page, I have also had writing experience in various magazines. I love touching others' hearts with my writings and sharing what I have learned. I hope that every touch we make in each other's lives brings beautiful effects filled with love
