What Is Reiki?
Reiki is the method of natural healing taught by Mikao Usui in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries in Japan.
Safe:
It is believed that Usui, and many others of his day, were well-aware of Chi-Gung, a form of energy healing in which the giver gives of his own energy to help someone else. It is believed that Usui searched for years for a method of energy work that did not deplete the giver’s own energy resources. His search ended when, on a mountaintop, he received his attunement from a flash of blinding light. Usui Reiki, therefore, bypasses the giver’s personal energy to use energy from a greater source. Because the giver’s personal energy is not involved, the method is safe and non-invasive for both practitioner and recipient.
The undefined Source of Healing
Usui never defined the source of the Universal Life Force Energy that flows through the giver as a conduit into the recipient. It is clear that Usui was Buddhist. He studied Buddhist attunements in a library in Kyoto where his “library card” mark is still showing. He was well aware of Medicine Buddha attunement and it would have been far easier for him to simply teach Reiki as a Buddhist attunement. The fact that he went to great length to insure Reiki is taught non-denominationally (non-Buddhist) tells me that he felt Reiki is Universal, and congruent with any and all belief systems. Reiki deliberately makes no statement about who or what The Source is, and I feel this is a strength: allowing some things to be Unknown leaves more possibilities for healing and change than relying upon The Known. For example, if a Doctor says “based on your test results, you should have six months to live,” this is the known. However, opening focus to include the many variables that are unknown leaves open other outcomes. Like Usui, I have personal beliefs but feel strongly that these not influence my reiki sessions and teaching. I present Reiki in the way it was presented to me and try to add no more, and give no less.
