History of Reiki
Reiki (pronounced RAY-KEY) is a word derived from two Japanese words: REI (The Universal Life Force) and KI (sacred energy). In the 1930’s, Hawayo Takata (1900-1980) brought this healing art (Usui Shiki Ryoho-the Usui System of Natural Healing) to the western world. Her teacher, Chujiro Hayashi, was taught by Mikao Usui, the founder. From 1980 to 2019, Takata’s granddaughter, the late Phyllis Lei Furumoto (www.usuishikiryohoreiki.com), carried the spiritual lineage of the system. On March 15, 2019, Johannes Reindl from Austria was recognized by Phyllis Lei Furumoto as her successor and Lineage Bearer for Usui Shiki Ryoho.
“The Reiki method is not only for curing illness. Its true purpose is to correct the heart-mind, keep the body fit, and lead a happy life using the spiritual capabilities human beings were endowed with since birth.”
–From the memorial stone of Mikao Usui, Founder of the Usui System of Reiki Healing.
These people come from every possible spiritual background and orientation, from Fundamentalist Protestant to New Age Metaphysician, from Jewish to Atheist, from devout Catholic to devotees of Eastern philosophies, from Native American to never-thought-about-it.
Reiki can be practiced simply and easily in everyday life. It needs nothing added to it to “improve” it or “add power” to it. It is a discrete application of touch. It is said, “Just place your hands where needed, and healing energy flows through them.”
Reiki is a practical, cost-saving healing tool. Everyone who wants to can learn Reiki.
