What Is Reiki?

A practice that relieves not only the external, physical sufferings, but the internal sufferings and obscuration of humankind” Dr. Usui

  • A system of healing using spiritually guided life force energy.

  • Passed on by an attunement from a Reiki master.

  • A Philosophy and system for personal development.

  • Can help develop intuitive sensitivity and spiritual awareness

  • A Powerful healing system that can be applied through touch or intent

  • An honoring of the teachings given by Dr. Mikao Usui (1865-1926)

The Term Reiki is a Japanese word used to describe a system of healing originally known as Usui Shiki Ryoho, or The Usui Way, so titled by its founder Dr. Mikao Usui. Though it is difficult to verify the exact events surrounding his life it appears the system was developed by Dr. Usui as a result of a keen personal interest he had in Kanji characters, symbology, and mantras contained within ancient Sanskrit texts.

Also, his deeply felt connection to Spirit led him to research the relationship between the nature of healing miracles and the wisdom of the Sanskrit teachings. In following this personal calling to understand the nature of energy healing Dr. Usui was led to devote his life to the research of what we now know as Reiki.
