Chapter One

A Brief History of Reiki The Founding Of Usui Reiki

When he was just a boy, Mikao Usui (pronounced you-soo-ee) began to wonder if a healing method like Reiki existed. Born in 1865 in Japan, Usui attended a Tendai Buddhist school near Mt. Kurama where his studies included Kiko, the Japanese version of Qigong, a health and healing discipline based on the use of life-force energy ("ki" or "chi").

Finding that this discipline required people to build up and then deplete their own life-force energy when giving treatments, Usui questioned whether it was possible to perform energy-based healing work without giving away one's own "ki."

He wouldn't learn the answer - that yes, such healing is possible - until much later in life when he miraculously received the gift of Reiki.

Details about much of Usui's life remain sketchy. In the 1990s, Researchers with the International Center for Reiki Training discovered that a long-accepted oral history of Usui contained many inaccuracies.

They believe that he probably came from a wealthy family because he was able to pursue his education in Europe and China.

Eventually, Usui became the Secretary to the head of Japan's Department of Health and Welfare, a position that helped him become a successful businessman through the many connections he made.

Seek and Ye Shall Find

However, by 1914, Usui's life was in disarray both personally and professionally. Long a spiritual seeker (he was a member of a metaphysical group dedicated to developing psychic abilities), Dr. Usui returned to Mt. Kurama, where he received his early Buddhist training, looking for answers.

He enrolled in a training program at the Tendai Buddhist Temple there that likely included meditation, prayer, chanting and fasting.

Legend has it that Reiki came to Usui at the very end of this 21-day program. While meditating on the mountain, he experienced intense white light shoot into his head's Crown chakra, bestowing the power of Reiki. His resultant enlightenment revealed the nature of this gift - an easily passed-on healing technique enabling people to treat others with life-force energy without diminishing their own "ki."

A Heritage of Healing

After Dr. Usui's sudden death from a stroke in 1926, the Master/ Teachers he had trained carried on his work in Japan. One of these, Churijo Hayashi, trained the woman who would bring Reiki to the West. Her name was Hawayo Takata - and she was born in Hawaii in 1900 to Japanese Immigrants.

Takata learned of Reiki at age thirty, when she traveled to Japan to attend her Sister's funeral. Having been diagnosed with several ailments, including a tumor, Takata decided to visit Hayashi's Reiki Clinic.

After four months of treatments cured her, she decided that she wanted to learn Reiki, and take it back to Hawaii to share with others.

Takata established several Reiki clinics in Hawaii and became a well-known healer; traveling to the U.S. mainland and other parts of the World to teach and give treatments.

She did not begin initiating Reiki Masters until 1970. Her price for this training, $10,000, was high because she wanted to create a feeling of respect for Reiki. By the time she died in 1980, she had initiated twenty two Reiki Masters.

Reiki's Historic Origins

Many people believe that Usui rediscovered a healing method previously shared with and eventually lost by ancient cultures in Tibet, Egypt; and even in legendary lands like Lemuria and Atlantis. A technique involving the laying-on of hands, Reiki works directly on the energy field (aura) surrounding your body as well as the life-force energy (or "ki") flowing within it. Coming from the Highest Power (GREAT HEAVENLY FATHER HIMSELF), Reiki exists on a different plane than electrical, chemical or other kinds of physical energy.

It is spiritually guided to restore the harmonious flow of "ki," directing healing energy to wherever someone has blockages (the GOD Consciousness called "Rei" leads the "ki" to areas of disharmony).

Dedicating himself to sharing this gift from above, Usui worked with the poor people of Kyoto for seven years. In 1922, he moved to Tokyo where he started a healing society called Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (meaning the Usui System of Reiki Healing) and opened a Clinic.

His presence was of huge benefit in 1923; when the great Kanto earthquake devastated the City - killing more than one hundred and forty thousand people and injuring countless others.

Increased demand for his services led him to open a bigger Tokyo Clinic in 1925; and to travel around the country teaching and treating people. A recipient of the Japanese government's Kun San To award for his honorable work, Usui taught more than two thousand students and initiated sixteen Reiki Master Teachers in his lifetime. He became known to his Students as Usui Sensei.

Reiki Now - Exponential Growth

The Craft of Reiki has spread greatly in the past few decades - especially here in the West. The advent of the Internet has certainly helped to make Reiki much more accessible to those who seek it for treatment; as well as for those who wish to be Reiki Masters and Teachers themselves.

In subsequent years, Reiki training became far more accessible to the masses as teachers greatly reduced rates for classes. Today there are at least two hundred thousand Reiki Masters in the world; and more than one million Practitioners of Reiki. These numbers grow every day, making the world a better place.

In the early 1990s, the International Center for Reiki Training developed Karuna Reiki, a powerful expression of the evolving nature of Reiki. William Rand and other gifted Masters working the Center began channeling higher-frequency energies and felt spiritually guided to develop the Karuna training system to share them with the World.

The word Karuna means "compassionate action," epitomizing the spirit of all Reiki. Because its healing energies are stronger, Karuna Reiki is considered the next step after Usui Reiki.
