Reiki In Japan
The Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai - A Flower in the Garden of Healing Arts
Dr. Usui Mikao started an organization in Japan named Reiki; a healing system
that recognizes and develops life force energy and its ability to heal the human
mind, body and soul.
From its inception, Reiki has grown and spread throughout the Eastern and
Western parts of the world, as we know it.
Reiki is a generic word in Japan, and is used to describe many types of healing
and spiritual work. It 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 is
called The Usui System of Natural Healing or Usui Reiki Ryoho and Gakkai
means organization.
Reiki in the West
After coming to the west, the Usui System of Natural Healing has evolved over time. In its current state,
it is much more organized and structured than the simple, flexible, intuitive method practiced by Dr.
Usui. The following is a description of the evolution of the Usui System of Reiki.
During his mystical experience on Mount Kurama, Dr. Usui received the ability to do Reiki treatments,
the Reiki symbols and the ability to pass Reiki onto others. Later he added the Reiki Ideals and the
idea that one needs to receive compensation for a treatment. Many others have made and continue to
participate to Reiki Healing, since Dr. Usui's life and passing, with mystical, philosophical and/or
scientific contributions.
We support all Reiki schools, which adhere to the original spirit of Reiki.
Ancient Origins
The common grounds of other ancient healing systems is shared with pre-Usui origins of Reiki; such
as the Tibetan Buddhist healing technique called the Medicine Buddha. It involves the laying-on of
hands similar to Reiki. The ability to do Medicine Buddha healing is transmitted to the student through
an empowerment given by the teacher similar to Reiki attunement. There are other spiritual processes
in Tibetan Buddhism involving the transmission of ability or value through empowerments. With this
understanding do we assimilate how time-space intention has evolved over millenniums to facilitate
healing for the human spirit.
