The Magic of Reiki

Reiki somehow faded from the practice of the monks as they focused more and more on the mind and spirit and less on the body. Our present day form was rediscovered in the late nineteenth century by a Buddhist monk called Mikao Usui.

Through deep meditation he cognized several methods of passing the Transmission of Awareness of Divine Chi from one to another by the act of initiation, invocation and touch. He created a separate form for those in the outside world from those in the monastic life as the needs and awareness were different.

There is a short line of Masters direct from Usui who were trained in Usui Shiki Ryoho - Usui System of Natural Healing. This is a unique system that puts aside the mind and personality and applies the simplicity of hands-on, non-invasive, non-intrusive touch to assist the receiver in feeling energy balance for themselves.

This can only happen once their mind quietens, emotions calm, and their body relaxes to receive the reconnection and reawakening willingly. Reiki means ‘Universal Life Force’. It is not a religion, neither is it contradictory to any religion because by nature it is universal.

It is merely a force we cannot be without. It is in the air yet it is not the air, it is in the water yet it is not the water, it is in the heart yet it is not the heart. It is ever present in an unlimited supply, constantly in motion and change. It runs through us at all times. It radiates from our hands as the power of giving and receiving. It allows for the natural ability and instinct to be able to reach out and touch another to create a change in energy by that very willingness to receive. Only by feeling it will you know what it is.
