HISTORY
OF REIKI
Reiki
is an ancient healing art, which originated in the East. Because this
method of healing was kept very secret at one time, it became a lost
art. Reiki was then rediscovered in the late 1800’s by a man named Dr.
Mikao Usui (a Monk who taught in a Christian Seminary in Japan). Dr.
Usui's travels and research eventually led him to the ancient Buddhist
Sanskrit, and from there he ultimately rediscovered this spiritual
healing technique. Dr. Usui treated and healed many people using Reiki.
He eventually passed his teachings on to a man named Dr. Hayashi,
making him a Reiki Master, as well. Dr. Hayashi passed his teachings on
to a woman named Hawayo Takata, and she is responsible for bringing the
teachings to the United States. Today, Reiki is continuing to be handed
down from Master to student, worldwide. Reiki is a gift of the Universe
to us all.
