History of Reiki

Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900’s in Japan. Usui Sensei drew upon existing and ancient Japanese ways of working with energy – founded in Buddhism, Shinto, Shugendo and in other energy cultivation techniques. He created something that was unique and different.

Usui worked and associated himself with martial artists and energy workers and he was a well-known healer and teacher. His simple energy system was created and anyone can learn to connect to the energy and channel it for their own use as well as for the benefit of others.

How do I learn Reiki?

Reiki is tau

ght at three levels: First Degree, Second Degree and Master level. The Second Degree is the ‘practitioner’ level and most people will take the first two courses, leaving a few months in between each. Reiki works for everyone, so you don’t need any special qualities; you do not even need to believe in Reiki….it will still work for you. Once you are ‘attuned’ and opened up to Reiki by your Reiki Master, the Reiki energy and abiility will never leave you – even if you don’t use it every day.

First Degree Reiki introduces you to working with and experiencing energy. You learn now to work on yourself so that you can develop your ability as a channel and balance your energy system over a period of time. You will also learn how to pass on the benefits of Reiki to others, using a simple treatment system.

Second Degree Reiki is usually taken a few months after the First Degree to give you an opportunity to work on yourse

lf and be comfortable with the basics before moving on. You also learn some simple symbols that you can use to enhance your treatments and you will learn how to ca

rry out distant healing too.
