The History of Reiki
In
March 1922, Mikao Usui was spiritually awakened and received the healing
energy what is called Reiki after a 21 day fasting and meditating on Mount
Kurama in Kyoto.
He founded "The Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai" (Usui Reiki healing Society)
in April. Reiki soon spread throughout the region and Usui was recognized
"A Master of Healing Touch".
After Usui's death, Chujiro Hayashi; a former student of Usui initiated
and trained Hawayo Takata; a Japanese-American boned in Hawaii. She trained
22 teaching masters that have taught Reiki all over the world. Reiki has
now internationally known and it is said that over 5 million people practice
it. (Phyllis Lei Furumoto, Hawayo Takata 's granddaughter, founded The
Reiki Alliance. Barbara Weber Ray, one of the 22 Reiki Masters trained
by Takata, founded The Radiance Technique.)
It was re-imported into Japan in 1980's and has spread to over 150 thousand
people.
Reiki Gokai - Reiki Five Principles
While Reiki Gokai (five Reiki principles) may seem simple, they can be quite challenging at times.
That's why it's essential to remember and repeat them in our minds to clear ourselves and draw closer to the principles.
Reiki is widely recognized as an energy healing practice, but it is not merely about technique. Reiki is fundamentally about how we live our lives in accordance with the principles of Reiki Gokai.
