frangipani house - reiki - the history

click on this image to go to Reiki page at Frangipani House
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 Dr 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.
