History Of Reiki​
Reiki is a Japanese word where Rei (ray) means universal and ki (Key) is life force energy. It is a very ancient science hidden for thousands of years until Dr. Usui discovered this very old technique hidden in Sanskrit lotus sutra in India. Since neither Dr. Usui nor Dr. Hayashi left written instruction about Reiki, the only source of information comes from verbal instructions Mrs. Takata passed on to her students.
Dr. Mikao Usui was the Dean of small Christian university in Kyato, Japan in middle of 19th century. This was an exciting period in Japan’s history and many changes were occurring throughout society. The Japanese had only recently opened their shores to foreigners and were quickly adopting all new technology of industrial revolution. Dr. Usui had adopted Christianity, becoming the dean of Christian seminary and was teaching Bible.
