The History of Reiki

Reiki Waves • June 16, 2020

Where did Reiki come from? This non-invasive healing modality has its roots deep in Japanese culture. A culture that I feel intrinsically connected to through my Japanese ancestry in my mother's and grandmother's lineage. This is an awesome article of Reiki history. From Mikao Usui in Japan to Chujiro Hayashi to Mrs. Hawayo Takata in Hawaii. Click on the link to check it out. ✨🙏✨😘❤️


"The following referenced history of Reiki is taken from Reiki, The Healing Touch, by William Lee Rand and has been carefully researched to contain verified information from dependable sources.


Many consider that Mikao Usui or Usui Sensei as we reverently refer to him, was the creator of Reiki and that the word Reiki applies only to the healing modality he discovered and developed. Yet, when researching the facts concerning the origin of Reiki as a healing modality, we find that prior to Usui Sensei developing his style of Reiki, there were at least four other styles of Reiki healing that were being practiced in Japan. This information comes from Hiroshi Doi Sensei and from Toshitaka Mochitzuki Sensei, two Japanese Reiki researchers. A more detailed understanding of this subject is explained in the book, An Evidence Based History of Reiki.(1, 2)"
