John David Sparks

John Sparks began his metaphysical studies in 1972. His thirst for spirit led him to many different teachings including Science of Mind, Self Realization Fellowship, transcendental meditation, the Arica Institute, and more.

In 1990 he became a massage therapist which led him to taking his first Reiki class in 1991 with William Lee Rand. This quickly became his new passion and in 1994 completed his training in the Usui system. Shortly after this, with unexpected help, he founded Insight Awareness Center in the south suburbs of Chicago. Through the many years of working intensely with Reiki energies he realized that it is much more than just a hands-on healing technique. It is the core and essence of who we are connecting us with the core and essence of all living things. It is, when rightfully embraced, a path leading to a never ending, ever expanding experience of our divinity.

John is not aligned with any particular religion, although his early background was largely Christian. He teaches that Reiki transcends all religions and works at igniting the fire within each individual to inspire them in passionately finding and following their own unique way to peace.

Besides occasional international speaking engagements and Reiki retreats, he is currently teaching Reiki on a regular basis with co-owner of Insight Awareness, Valerie Reilly.
