The Usui System of Natural Healing
   
What is Reiki?
Reiki (ray-key) is an ancient healing art that was rediscovered in Japan in the early 1900's. Reiki means "universal life force" in Japanese. Reiki enables individuals to transmit a peaceful, loving energy through their hands to themselves and others. Reiki's gentle yet powerful energy brings harmony and balance to body, mind and spirit.
Origin and History of Reiki
Throughout human evolution, many cultures have believed in the existence of a life force energy permeating all things. Although they have called it different names such as chi, prana, or sekhem, each culture has learned - and sometimes forgotten - how to use this subtle energy for healing purposes.
Reiki was rediscovered and developed into its modern form by Dr. Mikao Usui. Dr. Usui set out on a personal quest to uncover the healing techniques used by ancient masters.and traveled throughout Japan, China and Europe in pursuit of this knowledge.
In 1914, Usui entered a Buddhist monastery where he trained intensely. Eventually he returned to Mt. Kurama, Japan where he studied as a boy to make a twenty-one day retreat. Toward the end of this retreat in March 1922, he experienced a light-vision in which he received Reiki energy and symbols in the form of an attunement. Thus was born the Usui System of Natural Healing, a spiritual science and practice.
