William is the originator of the Usui/Tibetan system of Reiki which he developed in 1989. In 1995, with the help of some of his students, he developed the Karuna Reiki® system of healing. In January, 2014 he introduced the Holy Fire® system of Reiki which was upgraded to Holy Fire® II in November 2015 and then upgraded to Holy Fire® III in September, 2018.

Between 1997 and 2004, he placed World Peace Crystal Grids at the North and South Pole and in Jerusalem. This system allows Reiki students all over the world to join together each month in sending Reiki to the peace grids to promote world peace.  Over 428,000 sets of the World Peace Grid cards have been downloaded for use in this mediation.

William received Reiki I in 1981, Reiki II in 1982, and became a Reiki Master in 1989. He has received the Reiki Master level of training from six Reiki Masters including three from Japan.
