What is Reiki?

Reiki is the ancient form of sacred healing rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan, and then brought to the United States by his sister, Mrs. Hawayo Takata. She was the first Reiki teacher to bring this modality to the United States. Reiki is not a religion or a belief system. It governs no religion, and requires no belief in it to work. It is the Universal Life Force Energy known as “Ki”, the basis of vitality. This “Ki” works because we are all part of this energy. This subtle energy flows from the hands of the practioner into the  client, and it is this energy creating the relaxing and healing effects for our mind, body spirit complex that are of such value. Reiki is ancient form of stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

Reiki based on Science, is from instruments and scientific studies and basic Physics of induction, where measurements have been taken. Healing aspects of Reiki have been demonstrated to exist by using known laws of Physics and Biology. The largest field is of the Heart. The second strongest source of electricity is our retina which acts as a large battery that changes in polarity when light falls on it.

The second is the Subjective point of view, since there are those who are more sensitive to subtle qualities of energy and having more inner awareness.

The Philosophy of Reiki is a based on theories about how our universe works, and the greater potentials within each one of us on our planet.

A good definition of Reiki is primal energy of the universe that is being guided by the highest wisdom of the universe, therefore anything negative cannot affect Reiki energy. It can only create good. It is beyond Ego or level of selfish intention. This why Reiki is such a wonderful healing energy for the well-being of all ages in daily lives.

Reiki is “nonpolarized’ subatomic energy that is released through the hands of the practitioner as a harmonic into energy blueprints (i.e., the body) that are in a state of disharmony. Once it leaves the subatomic world, it must polarize because it is entering the physical, manifest world where it is acted upon by time. Because it is, by nature, a harmonic, it will polarize and form a “mirror image” of any disharmonious frequency in that energy blueprint, thereby restoring normal harmony and well being. This, in turn, accelerates the natural healing processes of the body.




What are the lessons of Reiki from Usui Mikao?

Usuis legacy is the recognition that a person should work on what could be improved and accept what could not be changed. This would be the recipe for a happy life. The essence of this teaching is today known as the five concepts or five principles. Besides many short citations here is the full version - close to the Japanese original.

The secret art of inviting happiness

At least for today, do not be angry.

Do not worry.
