Reiki Ryoho (Reiki healing art) and the founder.
Usui Mikao Sensei (1865-1926), the founder of Reiki Ryoho (healing art), attained
spiritual enlightenment, and at the same time, a healing ability as a godsend was
bestowed upon him in 1922 at the age of 57 while he was fasting and meditating on
Mt, Kurama in Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan.
Reiki healing art is to channel the energy of the universe and an inspired healing art of
Usui Sensei, Not the outcome of his researches, or discovery, or re-discovery.
In the Western countries,it's been incorrectly said that Reiki healing method or
formula was rediscovered by Usui Sensei after researches in the Buddhist
scriptures.
Usui Sensei thought that this wonderful gift of healing ability should be shared with
people, not keeping it to him and/or his family.
Thus, he opened up Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai at Aoyama,Tokyo in 1922.
In the West, Usui Sensei is said to be a Christian minister and president of Christian
based Doshisha University in Kyoto. This is utterly distorted story. He was from
beginning to end a lay Buddhist.
Reiki has gone OVERSEAS.
Hayashi Chujiro () Sensei (1879-1940), a captain of the then Imperial
Navy of Japan, was initiated into Shinpiden(Shihan or Teacher) in 1925 after having
retired from the Navy, and opened his Reiki clinic in Tokyo.
Mrs Hawayo Takata (1900-1980), a Japanese American born in Hawaii, was
diagnosed with a serious gall bladder trouble. She made a trip to Japan and was
treated with Reiki by Hayashi Sensei.
She recovered completely in four months. And then she worked for Hayashi Sensei as
a Reiki student for about one year before returning to Hawaii.
Hayashi Sensei visited Mrs Takata in Hawaii in 1938 and initiated her into Shinpiden
(Shihan or Teacher).
Mrs Takata set up her Reiki clinic in Hawaii.
In her later life, she made 22 Reiki Teachers (so-called Reiki Masters in the West) .
Thanks to their devotion, Reiki Ryoho (Reiki hands-on healing art) has become
widespread in the West.
Reiki has returned HOME.
In 1984 Reiki Ryoho came back to Japan, the birthplace of Reiki Ryoho.
And now in Japan, many Western Reiki Ryoho modalities are being propagated and
getting popular , while the traditional Reiki such as Usui Reiki Ryoho practiced
in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai has successively been in existence.
