What is REIKI (靈氣)? Reiki is the Japanese term. 「靈」<rei> means something mysterious, miraculous, and sacred.「氣」<ki> means the atmosphere or something subtle or the energy of the universe. The Japanese words “靈氣” (reiki) can be defined as a miraculous and sacred energy of the universe, which sustains all life. (Reiki is the name, used by Usui Sensei, for the cosmic energy.)
Reiki Ryoho( Reiki healing method ) and the founder: USUI Mikao Sensei (1865 – 1926), the founder of Reiki Ryoho (healing method), attained enlightenment, and 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 method 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. 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 Western countries, it’s been incorrectly said that Reiki healing method was rediscovered by Usui sensei
after researches in the
Buddhist scriptures. ] In 1925 he moved out to Nakano, a suburb of Tokyo, so as to expand his healing activities. Due to his nation-wide fame, he was very often invited to teach his Reiki Ryoho from local districts here and there like Hiroshima area, Saga, Kyushu. On March 9th, 1926, he passed away on the road (while traveling) at Fukuyama in Hiroshima Prefecture. Usui sensei’s gravesite and his memorial stone are located at Saihoji Temple of Jodo-shu or Pure Land sect of Japanese Buddhism in Tokyo. [In the West, Usui sensei is said to be a Christian minister and president of Christian based Doshisha University in Kyoto. It is quite a story. He was from beginning to end a lay Buddhist.]

REIKI has gone OVERSEAS HAYASHI Chujiro (林 忠次郎) sensei (1879-1940), a captain of the then Imperial Navy of Japan, enrolled in the 30th class of the Naval Academy in December, 1899, and graduated in December, 1902. He was initiated into Shinpiden (Teacher’s Degree) in 1925 after his retirement from the Navy, and opened his Reiki clinic at Higashishinano-cho, Tokyo. He was one of the directors of Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. His wife, Mrs.Hayashi Chie, was also a member of Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. In 1931 he left the Gakkai and set up “Hayashi Reiki Kenkyu Kai”. He made 13 Shihans(Teachers), and two of them were women, namely his wife, Mrs.Hayashi Chie, and Mrs. Hawayo Takata. In 1940 he passed away by committing suicide.
Mrs. Hawayo TAKATA (1900-1980), a Japanese-American born in Hawaii, was diagnosed with a serious gall bladder disease. 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 (Reiki Shihan or Teacher). Mrs. Takata set up her Reiki clinic in Hawaii. In her later life, she made 22 Reiki Teachers (so-called Reiki Master in the West). Thanks to their devotion, Reiki hands-on healing method has become widespread in the West.
REIKI has returned home In 1984, Reiki healing method returned to Japan, the birthplace of Reiki. And now in Japan, many Westernized Reiki systems are being publicized and getting popular, while the traditional Reiki system such as [Usui Reiki Ryoho] practiced in the Gakkai founded by Usui sensei has successively been in existence.

9)
Reiki’s effectiveness is immediate and apparent, especially in the case of “cut, bleeding, burn, bruise and acute pain.”
10) Reiki can heal others who are not physically present. (distant healing). 11) Reiki, the love, harmony and power to heal of the universe, does help and guide you to develop your spiritual growth, for Reiki Ryoho is a spiritual path and practice.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
*** It is REIKI that does a fine job of healing, not YOU. (You as a Reiki practitioner do not do any healing. But you are very essential for Reiki healing. Without you, Reiki cannot work.)
*** The farther from the ego, the purer the Reiki channel will be.

REIKI SHODEN (First Degree) What you will learn: You will learn a basic knowledge about Reiki and a basic hands-on healing art. You will be initiated into Reiki by means of “Reiju” or “attunements” that will empower you to be a Reiki channel. From this time on, Reiki energy will flow through out your hands and do a fine job of healing. It means YOU are now a Reiki practitioner (healer) for the rest of your life. How to receive Reiju or attunements: Sit on a chair and relax. Put your palms together (Gassho) in front of your chest (when so instructed,) and close your eyes lightly. Be prepared for the body touch (top of the head and the hands) by the teacher. Move your hands and arms according to the teacher’s lead.

How to place your hands: Stretch your palms with fingers lightly put together. Place your hands gently/lightly on a body. Be careful not to press on internal organs. Hold your hands a few centimeters over cuts, burns and the area(s) you hesitate to put your hands on. Basically two hands are used to do Reiki especially on twin organs such as lungs, kidney and ears. Two hands are placed side by side or end to end depending on an area. One hand is also used depending on an area and/or a symptom. A double hand, hand on hand, can be used to strengthen energy flow.

12 standard hand positions: It is recommended that the hands are to be laid on each position for 3 - 5 minutes. These hand positions are basically intended for maintaining good health. While doing Reiki, your hands may feel tingly, heated, pain and the like on a certain area.
In such a case, (Byosen and Hibiki) focus on that area ,
without regard to time, until a sensation fades away.
< Note > Traditionally there are no set hand positions except some positions on the head.

臼井霊気療法「教義」の原点（典拠） 大正３年（1914）12 月 28 日発行の鈴木美山博士の著書「健全の原理」という書籍 の巻頭に載っている「健全の道」という題の付いた以下の文言に基づき、臼井先生が 創作されたと言われています。 「 今日だけは 怒らず、恐れず、正直に、 職務に励み、人に親切に 」 美山
The Source of Usui Reiki Ryoho Principles (Five Precepts) Usui Sensei, the founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho, created Reiki Principles or so-called Five Precepts based on the phrase in the opening page of a book “Kenzen-no-genri” or “the Principle of Soundness” written by Dr. Suzuki Bizan, and published on December 28, in the 3rd year of Taisho (1914).
The PHRASE titled “A Path to Soundness” reads: [Today only Be not angry, Be not fearful, With honesty, Perform diligently your duty, Be kind to others.] By Bizan

“ANAPANASATI “ MEDITATION This is a simple and easy Buddhist meditation method based on mindfulness of breathing (or counting the breaths).
HOW TO MEDITATE:
1) Sit upright on a chair or sit cross-legged on a cushion or floor. Try to maintain a relaxed pose but keep the back straight. 2) Close your eyes, check for muscle tension throughout your body and focus on the area that is causing the tension, consciously relaxing the muscles. 3) Make sure your mouth is closed and focus on the breath entering your nostrils. Don’t try to force or regulate the breath, just breathe normally. Let the natural rhythm of your breathing take charge. 4) After a few minutes, begin to make a mental note of counting the breaths in pairs, i.e. count “one” on inhaling and also “one” on exhaling, count “two” on inhaling and “two” on exhaling and so on up to “ten”.
