The origin of Reiki
'Rei’ means spiritual/sacred and ‘Ki’ means energy, therefore ‘sacred life force energy’.
Reiki is a holistic therapy that was developed in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui at the end of the 19th Century. The core principles underlying Reiki are universal and the concept of channelling ‘life force energy’ has been practiced by ancient civilisations for thousands of years.
Dr Usui spent many years on a spiritual quest to understand the healing methods of the Buddha and upon experiencing a profound spiritual awakening on Mount Kurama, Dr Usui received the ability to harness and channel healing energy. Dr Usui opened a healing centre in Tokyo and began to practice, further develop and teach the method to , Dr Hayashi who became the second Grand Master of Reiki. Dr Hayashi went on to further develop Reiki and establish clinics to more widely treat patients and his teachings were instrumental to introducing Reiki to the west, particularly through his student Madame Takata the third Grand Master of Reiki who played a crucial role in popularising Reiki in the United States in the 1930s.
Reiki gained recognition in the west as more people sought alternative healing methods and today it is used widely in settings including hospitals, wellness centres and private practices. Its increased use in the west has made it a widely recognised practice that benefits people who seek balance in their lives and a natural approach to healing.
The traditional Reiki method I have been taught and attuned to, derives authentically through the Dr Hayashi and Madame Takata line and my lineage puts me ten Master levels removed from Dr Usui’s original teachings.
