What Is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient energy healing technique which was discovered by Mikao Usui in Japan in the 1920’s. He spent time healing people in Japan and passed his knowledge and techniques onto Dr Chujiro Hayashi. Hayashi then opened his clinic and school called Hayashi Spiritual Energy Research Society.
It was here a young woman named Hawayo Takata who came to be healed and was so enthralled with the treatment she received that she wished to be taught Reiki. After being taught the first and second levels of Reiki, Takata wanted to pass this healing technique on to others. This was the beginning of Reki spreading to the Western world.
