Interesting Reiki Facts

Reiki refers not only to the energy from the higher dimension, but also to the system of Reiki that developed from Usui Sensei's teachings Usui trained from an early age, when he entered a Tendai Buddhist monastery near Kuramayama, developing endless skills throughout his life from 'Kiko'. (Qigong) and martial arts to psychic development, enthusiastically studying many religions and healing methods. Usui Sensei's first revelation of enlightenment was ‘Anshin Ritsumei’, being at peace with your path in life and letting nothing disturb you. He even went into Zen Buddhism for three years but still couldn't find the ultimate enlightenment he was looking for, and so he asked for advice from his Zen master, who told him that he probably needed to experience death to find it. So in March 1922 Usui went to Mt Kurama to fast until death. Three weeks later at midnight he felt a great shock inside his brain and he was knocked unconscious by powerful Reiki energy. When he awoke it was morning and he felt full of energy. He was aware that universal energy was resonating with the energy within him. He realized that "I am the universe and the universe is me"; he had found enlightenment at last. On the way down from the mountain he tripped and ripped his toenail. His natural reaction was to hold on to it, but to his surprise his injury was healed and the pain relieved. He told his Zen master what had happened, who encouraged him to teach others how to use this healing energy in order to achieve their own enlightenment. Usui Sensei developed 'The Usui Reiki Treatment for Improvement of Body and Mind', He offered regular 'blessings 'to his students, which developed into 'Reiju empowerments' and then to 'attunements' in the West. He initiated 20 of his students to the status of 'Shihan' to pass on the teachings to others. One of these senior students, Dr Hayashi, taught Mrs. Hawayo Takata who brought Reiki to the western world. Reiki has been taught in the west as 'Usui Shiki Ryoho', the Usui Method of Healing. However since the 1990s, we have both Frank Arjava Petter, and also Hiroshi Doi, a URR Gakkai member, to thank for bringing early traditional Reiki teachings to the west. The Energy Beam's energy lineage is: Mikao Usui, Chujiro Hayashi, Chiyoko Yamaguchi, Rev Hyakuten Inamoto, Raymonde Leeumans, (also Richard R. Rivard) Sheila Neville.
