Reiki is a Japanese word that means Universal Life-Force-Energy. In Japan over 100 years ago, Dr. Usui was given Initiations into Healing Energies during a consciousness-raising experience. From this experience a system of healing developed and since the middle of the twentieth century it has spread across the globe and is practised in almost every corner of the world. It can be learnt and utilised by people of all ages, even children can learn!
The world wide spread of Reiki is due to the work of a Japanese-American lady, Hawayo Takata. Prior to World War II, Takata went to Japan, where she was cured of lung, heart, liver and gall bladder problems and then begged the Reiki Masters to teach and attune her and teach her how to do the attunements.
There have been many 'healing miracles' which have been attributed to Hawayo Takata's ability to heal, there is documented at least one witnessed account of Mrs.Takata raising the dead*.
Reiki can help us to move through the blockages that prevent our lives from flowing as they should. The energies enhance and empower our own natural ability to heal ourselves. As Reiki is energy channelling; it has no association with religion, faith, or belief systems and can be received by anyone who is willing to be receive it. It Reiki can be given in a hands-on treatment and it is believed that Reiki can also be sent across time and space to people, situations, plants and animals, known as distance healing.
