Where did Reiki originate from?Mikao Usui developed the system of energy healing we call Usui Reiki. Mikao Usui received Reiki through spiritual realization. Usui studied kiko, the Japanese version of qigong, which is a health and healing discipline based on the development and use of life energy. He went on to study in Japan, China and Europe, and legend says he spontaneously received the knowledge that is Reiki during meditation practice on Mt. Kurama. In 1914 Usui's personal and business life was failing, so he decided to travel to this holy mountain, for a twenty-one-day retreat. It was during meditation that the Reiki energy entered his crown chakra. What is Reiki?Reiki is the universal life force energy that is everywhere and inside of everything. From time to time your energy may get thrown out of balance, whether it is from illness, stress, poor diet, or emotional issues. Reiki can help balance your life energy, and therefore help heal any self-induced or stress related disorder. Reiki can help heal injuries, speed the process of recovery, and even assist in resolving emotional issues. There are no limitations to Reiki. Reiki can help alleviate suffering, whether it is of a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual nature. This statement is not a guarantee or a promise that someone will be relieved of any illness, as it is illegal and immoral to diagnose unless you are a medical doctor. However in most cases Reiki does stimulate improvement whether used in conjunction with either traditional or holistic medicine, or even all by itself. Sometimes people have unreasonable expectations of Reiki, both as clients and as practitioners. Reiki does not produce an instant miraculous cure of any condition. Like other medicines, it can take time to see long-term results. Reiki works with you to restore energetic balance and repair things like blockages and tears in the energy field that create disease and unhappiness. However, don't be surprised if it alleviates the headache that no aspirin could cure, calms chronic conditions, rids you of depression, etc., in a short period of time. |
