 What is Reiki?
Reiki
is a Japanese energy healing used to enhance the body's natural ability
to heal itself through the balancing of energy on physical, emotional,
mental, and spiritual level.
The word Reiki comprises of two Kanji characters "霊 気".
Phonetically it is a combination of two Japanese words - Rei which means
"Spirit" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki
is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

History of Reiki
In
March 1922, Mikao Usui was spiritually awakened and received the healing
energy what is called Reiki after a 21 day fasting and meditating on Mount
Kurama in Kyoto.
He founded "The Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai" (Usui Reiki healing Society)
in April. Reiki soon spread throughout the region and Usui was recognized
"A Master of Healing Touch".
After Usui's death, Chujiro Hayashi; a former student of Usui initiated
and trained Hawayo Takata; a Japanese-American boned in Hawaii. She trained
22 teaching masters that have taught Reiki all over the world. Reiki has
now internationally known and it is said that over 5 million people practice
it. (Phyllis Lei Furumoto, Hawayo Takata 's granddaughter, founded The
Reiki Alliance. Barbara Weber Ray, one of the 22 Reiki Masters trained
by Takata, founded The Radiance Technique.)
It was re-imported into Japan in 1980's and has spread to over 150 thousand
people.
Reiki Gokai - Reiki Five Principles
(3) (4) (5) is the part often taught
in English or other languages as Reiki Gokai (five Reiki principles).
It sounds simple, but it's not easy. It could be sometimes very difficult.
That's why we need to remember and repeat it in our mind to clear
ourselves, and become closer to the principles.
Reiki Gokai has two titles, (1) and (2). If we can be like five principles,
our energy becomes like peaceful, happy and healthy. And this kind of
energy could be the (1) Secret method for inviting good luck, and also (2) Spiritual
medicine for any kind of sickness.
This is the ultimate goal in our life
and that's why it's difficult, and that's why we need work on ourselves
to become closer to Reiki Gokai everyday a little by little to attain
real happiness.
Reiki is now considered as an energy healing. But it's not just about
the technique, Reiki is more about how you live your life like Reiki Gokai.
