History
Usui Shiki Ryoho
The Usui System of Natural Healing
Reiki is a laying-on of hands healing technique thousands of years old. It is a very simple
yet powerful technique that can be easily learned by anyone.
It is thought to have originated as a Tibetan Buddist practice that was rediscovered in the late 1800's by Dr Mikao Usui a Japanese Buddhist.
Reiki is not exclusive to the system of healing based on Dr. Usui's method. The system of healing that evolved from Dr. Usui's method ids called the Usui System of Natural Healing or Usui Shiki Ryoho. It is a type of Reiki.
The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words - Rei and Ki.
Rei - Spiritual Wisdom
The word Rei as it is used in Reiki is more accurately interpreted to mean supernaural knowledge or spiritual consiousness. This is the wisdom that comes from God or the Higher Self. This is the God-Consiousness which is the all knowing. It understands each person completely. It knows the cause of all problems and difficulties and knows what to do to heal them.
Ki - The Life Force
Ki means the same as Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit and Mana in Hawaiian. It has also been called, odicforce, orgone and bioplasma. It has been given many other names by the various cultures that have been aware of it.
Ki is the life force. It is also called the vital force or the universal life force. This is the non physical energy that animates all living things. As long as something is alive, it has life force circulating through it and surrounding it; when it dies, the life force departs. If your life force is low, or if there is a restriction in its flow, one will be more vunerable to illness. When it is high and flowing freely, one is less likely to become ill.
Life force plays an important role in everything we do. It animates the body and also is the primary energy of our emotions, thoughts and spiritual life.
The evolution of the Usui System of Reiki
The Usui system of Natural Healing has evolved over time. In its current state it is much more organized and structured than the flexible intuitive method practiced by Dr. Usui.
During the mystical experience on Mt.Kori-yama Dr.Usui received the ability to do Reiki treatments, the Reiki symbols and the ability to pass Reiki on to others. Later he added the Reiki Ideals and the idea that one needs to receive compensation for a treatment.
Dr. Hayashi added the standard hand positions, the three degreed and their attunement processes.
Mrs. Takata added the free structure. The requiered waiting periods between classes were added by members of the Reiki Alliance after Mrs. Takata passed on.
Phyllis Furumoto, the current Grand Master has stated that the Usui system may continue to evolve.
