Reiki - The History.
The modern system of Reiki was founded by Dr. Mikao Usui.
Dr. Usui was a teacher at Doshisha, a Christian
college in Kyoto, Japan. One day, his students asked him if he
believed that Jesus could heal like the bible says, and when he
replied that he did, they asked him to show them such a healing.
Dr. Usui did not know how to heal in this way, so he set out on a
quest to learn how. He travelled through Japan, China, and Tibet,
and even studied at the University of Chicago Divinity School,
before eventually returning to Japan.
Dr. Usui began his healing work with the beggars in the slums of
Kyoto. Before long, he realized that those he healed would return
again and again for treatment of the same illnesses. He believed
that many of those people held onto their diseases because their
illness somehow served them as useful. People preferred to live
being sick because they were provided for by others, got more attention,
and for other psychological reasons.
So Usui altered his treatments
to include not only the physical body, but also the mental,
emotional, and spiritual bodies as well. Usui also discovered that by healing people on
all levels of their being, those people suddenly gained the ability
to heal others. Usui organized what he had learned into a system he named "Reiki."
It is a process of being connected to the universal life force
energy through a Reiki attunement.
In the West, Usui passed his teachings on to Dr. Chujiro Hayashi,
a naval medical officer, in 1925. One of Dr. Hayashi's students was
an American woman, Mrs. Hawayo Takata. She was the thirteenth Reiki
master initiated by Dr. Hayashi. Her certificate, notarised on
February 21, 1938 gave her the status of a Reiki Master and
authorised her to teach the system. She initiated 22 Reiki masters,
most of whom are alive and still practising and teaching Reiki today.
